La Fonda Latina

I went here for the first time on 6/9/2025. I got the chicken sandwich with the yellow rice and black beans. I also got the grilled shrimp tacos that come with the yellow rice and black beans. They also give you chips and salsa. Best shrimp tacos I ever eaten from a restaurant here in Atlanta GA. The food is delicious and filling.

Free chips and salsa, but they lack a soda machine, so they sell single cans. My burrito was bean-heavy, protein-light. The rice was nothing to write home about, and the beans were a lot soupier than I remember them being in Cuba. In my partner’s shrimp quesadilla, there was a lot more spinach than shrimp. Those were the only two flavors. Though the shrimp was good quality, the quantity was disappointing.

Such an inviting and bright cheery spot for dinner on a cold Atlanta night. Make me feel like I’m in a cafe in Miami. We had a to-go order for six from here and they got the order exactly right. Food great again. (Signature artichoke dip though is best hot at restaurant.)

Popped in today for lunch with my wife and sat inside. We were greeted immediately, told to sit anywhere, and the place smelled great. We sat down and were instantly given chips and salsa, which were fantastic. Drink menu in hand, we ordered Palomas and were handed an actual menu! I had a Beef cuban and my wife got a salad with seared salmon. Super fast delivery and delicious food. We had a great meal and were in and out in 30 minutes. Perfect for a quick bite and a welcome addition to the neighborhood, must go!

The food was good but unfortunately we sat outside because it's very small inside and the flies were unbearable. We literally had to get carryout containers so that we could close it in between bites. Maybe if they spray the area it would help but it's really bad.

Solid Latin/Spanish food place with a variety of options. Food is flavorful, served hot, and a great price considering the amount of food you get. Service is pretty fast (I wait maybe 10 to 15min) and the servers are really nice too. Gets packed quickly so I recommend coming early.

Neighborhood eatery. The food was tasty and served quickly. We were a group of 13 with 6 children. We ate outside. Glad we arrived early. The place filled up quickly. Very popular with the locals.

We enjoyed the atmosphere and food at LaFonda, nice cozy restaurant. The drinks were on point. Can't wait for it to get a little warmer to come back and sit on the patio.

I went here for the first time on 6/9)2025. This place is close in my neighborhood. I got a Chicken sandwich Reuben. I forgot the exact name it came with yellow rice and black beans. I also got the shrimp tacos extremely delicious came with the yellow rice and black beans they also give you chips and salsa. Best shrimp tacos I ever tasted here in Atlanta. I actually like hard shell tacos but these soft shell tacos are no joke and the shrimp is grilled. Delicious and filling.

I came here on a glowing recommendation from a colleague. The restaurant is bright and clean. The servers are ready to help and the food is fabulous! Freshly made and not a bad note in any of the ingredients! I was in the area for work and ate here two days in a row! It was that yummy. The menu has many options to explore making me wish I had more time to do so.

Food and Service is fantastic! Just moved To ATL a few weeks ago and was missing my Cuban/Puerto Rican and Spanish food in general. This place hit the spot in a major way, including Mexican food too! Will be making lots of return trips when I miss home for sure! I had the Chuletas, Tostones con Mayo-ketchup, and Sopa de Pollo. Awesome! My wife had Enchiladas de Queso. Also great! The accompanying arroz con frijoles negros was tasty too. Can't wait to come back and try their version of the Cuban Sandwich and Pan con Bistec.

You can never go wrong with La Fonda! This is one of their newer locations and the experience is just the same. I ordered the paella and as you can see it looked amazing, but tasted even better! Our waitress was very helpful and gave multiple suggestions for drinks and food. We ended up getting a few margaritas and they were amazing. The wait was not long at all, and there was plenty of free parking on the property. I throughly enjoyed this experience

Sooo first time at this location... the restaurant wasn't packed so that was good. Seat yourself. The waitress Paula was welcoming and nice. Please talk to her slow just so she can understand. I be talking fast. Paula brought chips and salsa out quick. She also brought the drinks really fast. I love me some Paula.

The food is delicious. Good customer service and a fabulous patio vibe. My husband enjoyed the chicken quesadillas and chips. The Pina Colada was so tasty. The chicken soup/caldo de pollo was very lacking but had good flavor. It's nothing like what is served at the taqueria. However we will return for other dishes.

Writing this as I am sitting outside of this location. I walked up to the empty patio with my dog, cracked the door, and asked if we could be seated outside. Shortly after, a man came out and said that they cannot serve me and my 'dangerous dog' due to 'incidents at their other locations'. This was said as my dog was quietly standing bedside me with her tail tucked (6 months out of the shelter now). No questions about her and zero intent to provide service before having any kind of conversation. While I understand she appears to be mixed with a pit bull, and there is a stigma surrounding them, this was tacky behavior. It's certainly their right as a business and I'm happy to find more welcoming patio areas.

Food is great and pick up is quick and easy. I ordered food to go from my place very nearby. My door automatically locks after 2 minutes - I walked down the street, picked up my order, and made it back before the door locked!

Very good food, served fast, hot and accurate. It's authentic food that never disappoints. The wait staff is on top of all things. Parking is compromising but a sign said to use Fellini's parking although we never saw Fellini. We'll be back!

Going to La Fonda has been part of my life for decades. When we lived near Chastain Park, we ate there at least twice a week. Now living in Decatur, we have a brand new La Fonda that we enjoy. I love the exterior patio that the hosea Williams location, has. Elias served us very recently. He was most kind & attentive. We actually just ate a late lunch there today. When we saw Elias again, he greeted us as if we are family. La Fonda & her people, never disappoint! I highly recommend trying one of the many La Fondas located in & around Atlanta. So good!

Amazing addition to the neighborhood! Excellent food choices, great service, casual atmosphere. There is not a skimpy item in the menu. All Delicious! A definite go to type of place for our family!

The food is always amazing, but the service at this location is not friendly. This was a weekly stop for us, but the last time we sat for 20 minutes before leaving. It was not crowded and tables sat after us were taken care of. We have never had this issue at any other location and I hope it changes, but until then 3 stars instead of 5.

DELICIOUS food, quick and nice service; we enjoyed sitting outside to enjoy our meal. The Sangrita and Strawberry margarita was so good (and potent)

Very disappointed in the service at this location. We have been regulars here with our 7y/o pittie since the Kirkwood location opened. We were asked to leave the EMPTY patio this evening because of the breed of our dog. The waiter told us that they have breed restrictions- something that has not been brought to our attention ever eating outdoors at any restaurant with our sweet girl, even here. You've lost our business after this unnecessary and unfortunate experience. Please update your restaurant details to note you are in fact not dog friendly.

Sooo many options --there's something for everyone. Super friendly, attentive staff. The portions are generous. The yellow rice and black beans are so so good. Will come back when it's warm enough for the patio. Leave room for dessert if you can!

Great vibes, great food! The service is always friendly, and they keep the chips coming. There's plenty of good dinner options (seriously, the menu is so long), but I keep coming back to the Grilled Salmon salad and the Veggie Enchiladas (packed with all the best grilled veggies). The patio is where you wanna be when the weather's nice, even if you have to wait a few minutes. After the multiple BBQ joint duds in this particular spot, I'm hoping La Fonda is here to stay--this location has become a neighborhood staple!

Food and service were good. However, both men's and women's restrooms were out of order and the music was truly cacophonic as 2 different songs/ streams were going on simultaneously the whole time we were there.
