Food – Flavor! I had the Chile Relleno and my husband had the Green Chilaquiles and WOW! Everything was seasoned to perfection. The rice and beans were cooked just right, and every bite was packed with flavor. The cheese pull oooofff!!! The platanos were cooked to perfection. Coffee – We tried the Mexican Coffee, and you could honestly taste the love in every sip. So good! Service – The service was amazing. Our server was so kind and attentive she felt like family! As soon as we walked in, she made sure we had a clean, dry table before seating us. Little things like that really stand out. Drinks – Even the infused water was tasty and refreshing. Overall, everything from the food to the service was a 10/10. Can’t wait to come back! 🌮❤️

This unassuming place has the most friendly staff and the yummiest food. It’s a very welcoming environment, no frills, fair prices, and everything is delicious! We loved the bean dip they start you with, the guacamole was really fresh, and the enchilada verde packed a kick! The cucumber and lemon water are also nice touches, can’t wait to be back

What a gem. Landed here when La Valentina’s was closed. Red sauce is smoky and so good. Al pastor delicious. Taco portions generous. Crossword game challenge for free churros — so fun! Wish there were booths to sit in. We really enjoyed it and would recommend.

We have eaten here quite a few times. Luckily, it's usually not too busy in the late evening, otherwisewe would have taken it to go. Food is always great. The chips and salsa and bean dip are always nice to start off our visit and meal. I also appreciated that they turned down the music so it would not hurt or aggravate my ear injury. Staff is always kind and welcoming. Give this place a try next time you are in the mood for Mexican food.

We love this place! Found it randomly around where we stayed and didn’t have high expectations - turned out to be one of the best meals we’ve had while in LA for the weekend. The servers were extremely friendly and made us feel welcomed. Food tasted amazing and the portion was generous.

We had just gotten off the cruise ship and checked into our hotel before lunch, so we googled a restaurant near us. The reviews for La Fonda were spot on. We were seated right away in a cozy, clean, simply decorated establishment. The menu offers much to choose from, food and drinks. The self serve cucumber water is a refreshing touch. Our waiter was attentive and the service was efficient. The chips, salsa and bean dip are house made. Such a great way to start the meal. I wanted to order more but wanted to have room for my burrito. My husband and I split the al pastor wet burrito. On a whim, I ordered the guacamole and am so glad I did. The fresh ingredients added that extra something to the burrito. Out of many Mexican restaurants to choose from near LAX, La Fonda would be my go to if we lived here. Excellent food and service.

I must say this restaurant has some authentic & delicious food & amazing service. We placed an order through uber eats & it wouldn’t allow us to modify or add extras to it. so I called the restaurant & Frances (aka Chef Frances) asked me what extras I wanted & she made it happen. The way they wrapped everything up so that nothing would spill or get messed up is great. Other restaurants should take notes 😂 It’s rear when you order from food delivery services & your food comes intact. So if your in the Inglewood area & your looking for great food with good prices & amazing service you must try La Fonda💯 I promise you won’t be a disappointed😍

I would recommend trying La Fonda of Inglewood. We started with Steak Nachos, and they were appetizing. Next, The La Fonda Bowl with added chicken and grilled veggies was tantalizing on the taste buds and full of flavor. We also had the Chicken Taco plate that was satisfying. If you're not paying attention, you would drive by this tasty gem.

Let's start with the GOOD... Quality chips (Thick, crispy, not greasy) salsa (got a good kick though!) and bean dip (fabulous). Horchata is perfectly balanced, not overly cinnamon tasting and smooth. They let me have a free refill to go. Flavors on all the dishes were authentic and delicious. Seems they use fresh ingredients. You get a fair amount of food so it feels like you're getting your money's worth. Self-serve water station has 2 kinds of water (plain or cucumber) some word-find puzzles which we found entertaining and to-go containers. Cool! Service was on point. The NOT SO GOOD.... Instead of bringing Shrimp Cocktail I received Shrimp Ceviche. This however, turned out to be a blessing in disguise because it was super yummy. It had avocado slices on top that were perfectly ripe and impressively flawless, so hard to find nowadays. My son ordered the asada plate. When asked about wellness, he requested medium rare to rare. The steak came well overdone (dry) and grisly. Definitely not worth the 25 bucks and I'm so glad I didn't order the larger one! He only ate a quarter of it and luckily we had extra appetizers. The restaurant itself lacks decor and warmth. When we pulled up I thought they were closed, as it just looks like an office from the outside. The dining area is very plain, nothing on the walls. Lighting is bright white. I've eaten in hospital cafeterias that are more appealing lol. No actual complaints about service but they could smile and be more personable.

This place is incredible! It is one of the top Mexican places I've ever been to ever and in Southern California. I'm so glad I came. Things I love: - The food! The pollo à la diabla dish is so spicy but addicting and yummy - Really good chips AND salsa. Chips are warm and have the perfect crunch, not cold, stale or too hard or breakable. - Excellent service; Kane was very helpful in giving recommendations, personal and hospitable. I think it's so cute they have menus with server food favorites, they clearly value their workers - Quiet; they have a policy where you can't play audio from your speakers out of courtesy to other customers - Cleanly and orderly interior, including cutely decorated restrooms, spacious and not stuffy - Free self-serve flavored water Only thing that's not so great is the area but that's not something that can be helped. I don't think it's dangerous, just kind of in the middle of nowhere.

Me & my boo had such a great experience at La Fonda. It's super lowkey and the food was great. We loved our server Kane. Really added a nice touch to our vibe. We had carne asada tacos & the chicken taquitos. The salsa & chips..super bomb!! Homemade chips & the salsa had just the right amount of heat to it. The cucumber margarita was delicious! The restaurant itself is in a small parking lot with ample amount of parking. I'll definitely be back!

I came by again after being in the area and this place never disappoints. The service was great, food came out fast, and it was absolutely delicious. I got to try the fish tacos here with their special tartar sauce, and I truly loved every bite. The fish was so juicy and tender and the tortillas were not dry. I didn't need to add extra salsa. I just squeezed some lime and it was perfect!!

Stopped by for lunch on a Saturday and absolutely loved this place. Right at the entrance, there's a sign that says they welcome everyone. Regardless of race, gender, age, body type. That inclusive vibe set a great tone. The dining area is clean and simple which gives it a relaxed, welcoming feel. Our waitress was awesome. She was friendly, helpful, and really made us feel at home. She asked if it was our first time there and when we told her it was, she shared her recommendations and favorites. I always appreciate that kind of service. I ordered the two taco plate. I went with the steak tacos topped with cilantro and onion, plus a side of rice and beans. I also had a michelada, and it was delicious. If you're in the Inglewood area and are craving Mexican food, I'd definitely recommend checking La Fonda out.

Amazing service and great food! It's tucked away in a plaza conveniently next to the airport. We came here on a Wednesday night for a late dinner and our server was super friendly with a print out of his favorites from the menu which was helpful since it was our first time. The free chips, salsa, and beans were addicting. really flavorful and I like how the salsa had green onions. he also gave us the habanero and green salsa which was more spicy We ended up getting the chicken and potato taquitos and the menudo. Taquitos were a 4/5 since it was overly fried for me and a bit dry on the inside but the menudo was a 5/5. Probably the best I've had with fresh tortilla. Will come back to try more items! They also have margs and drinks

It's a bigger place then you'd expect by looking at it from the outside. Parking is a little tight but plenty of street parking. Overall, the food was plentiful and delicious. The prices were also very good for what you got. You could tell things were made fresh. Service was good, our waitress recommened what she'd get and helped us make a decision. Food came quick with constant check ins.

Very simple sit down family Mexican Restaurant with great food and reasonable prices. We were greeted as we walked in, and seated in...surprise! There's a back room! So it's bigger than we expected and had some cool style appointments, like corrugated steel ceilings, wooden beams, etc. They steak fajitas were fabulous, I got mine made "spicy" and it made me perspire. Chips and salsa, and a couple of Negra Modelos, and we couldn't have been happier. Will eat here every time I fly out of LAX from now on.

Right off the bat we received a genuinely welcoming welcome from Kane. We were seated after the grand tour courtesy of our waitress, Frances. We walked in the door and we were offered margarita samples, strawberry and lime. We were offered beans, salsa and chips. Quite yummy. The salsa is very tasty. Later in the meal, we were offered salsa samples. The food was very good and the portions were not huge. It was my birthday so I was offered a free birthday margarita. Frances was an attentive server, quite a pleasure to get to know during our dining experience. Overall, a great meal and we'll be coming back next time we fly out of LAX.

My favorite Mexican food whenever I'm in the area. Francis and the rest of the staff is always friendly and super attentive. The restaurant has a family vibe where you almost feel like you're dining at your mom or Tia's house. The table chips were warm and also served with our favorite beans and salsa. This time I got the 2 gordita plate one with al pastor and the second with carne asada. Both gorditas were stuffed to the rim with a good portion of meat and all the fixings (beans, cheese, lettuce, and sour cream). They are also served with rice and beans. I love their green salsa it has a perfect blend of spice. Definitely will be back next time I'm in the area.

I always love the fact I can find a locally owned restaurant and this place is a gym I did get the food to go and all I can say is when ordering on Yelp be careful it said the order didn't go through but it did. Now on to the food I got the enchiladas and I swear hands down the masa is the best enchilada masa I've ever had in my life. The cheese enchiladas were simply amazing and I did get the green sauce which was spot on spicy it was delicious I'm assuming it's homemade there I also tried the Diablo or very spicy sauce it was very spicy but it was very very flavorful next time I'm in town I'm going to try more of their food I didn't get to see the dining area because I just had pick up food but there was a nice flow of folk going in and out. The staff there is outstanding love supporting a restaurant like this.

I have been meaning to try this place for years and finally made it today. I wish I'd come sooner. Really solid great tasting old-school Mexican food. Had crispy tacos, enchiladas, guac and both the red and green salsas. Neither was super spicy, but both had great flavor. Was very happy and completely satisfied. Will definitely come back, worth the drive! Got it to go, but the dining room looks so clean, would eat her next time.

I LOVED La Fonda!! I wish this was closer to me :( From out of town and we stumbled upon this during lunch time. One thing about me, I love variety and choices and this is what this place offered. I decided on the Three Taquitos plate ($15.50) at first, which is a choice of potato or chicken taquitos. I couldn't decide, so Frances, our server, asked 'Why not both?' so I got the 2 Chicken and 2 Potato Taquitos plate with rice, beans, and guacamole for $2 more ($17.50). My boyfriend wanted the Chilaquiles plate with Asada, egg, rice and beans ($18) and when asked for Red or Green and couldn't decide, once again we were able to get both. Also ordered the Shrimp Ceviche appetizer to share. Everything tasted so delicious. They cut each taquito in half which makes the servings seem so much more. I loved it all. Service from everyone was so nice, especially Frances. She answered all our questions, made good recommendations, and checked up on us here and there. The attention to detail was fun; they have a lot of funny signs, our server gave us a little menu that listed her favorite dishes that she recommends, and have a little word search available for kids. (I may have took one for my adult self tho... haha) The restaurant is bigger than I expected and is clean. Can't wait to make an excuse to come back to Inglewood and eat at La Fonda!

Ordered for take out- 2 burritos (chorizo & egg breakfast//wet shrimp w/ half green & half red salsa). The store is quite small, but very clean. I almost missed it because of the somewhat subtle signage. I didn't notice their sign on the plaza sign pole. My order came w/ 2 small bags of delicious & crunchy tortilla chips & 2 sides of red salsa w/ green onions. Sizes of burritos weren't huge, but still pretty filling. They packed the wet burrito very well to prevent as much spilling into the plastic bag as possible. There was still some spillage but it wasn't a big deal. Breakfast burrito was good! Split it in half & that was enough to keep me full until my next meal. Pretty plain w/ rice, beans, eggs, chorizo, & no veggies. The salsa gave it more flavor. The saddest part was when I discovered my wet burrito was only red even though half green/red was requested. I wanted to give both a try to see which was better, but maybe next time. Also, didn't expect small shrimp portions for a shrimp burrito. There were maybe only 4 shrimps in the whole burrito & it was noticeable bc they were all on one side (the side I ate first), which was how I noticed that my other half was just tortilla, sour cream, rice, & veggies. The grilled onion and peppers complement the shrimp burrito profile very well. They charge more for shrimp & wet burrito ($16 to $16.95 based on where you place the order), so that's why I wouldn't say it was the greatest value. Probably wouldn't order it again if this is the normal ratio they serve it as. Not the cheapest price range for portion sizes but also worth the try if you're in the area. My order was very quickly prepared right on time for scheduled pickup & the staff were friendly. It was early morning so there were no other customers eating or taking out. Would definitely give it another try the next time I'm in the area.

This place has a remarkably high rating and after one visit I must agree that it is earned! I was in town to see an epic show at the brand new Intuit Dome and wanted to have a proper meal before going into the venue and this checked all of the boxes. Close to the arena, free available parking, a decent amount of tables, good prices, and (hopefully) good food. The vibes were immaculate, and what pushed this experience over the top was the service, which was friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable. The chips, salsa, and beans they bring out on the house are amazing. So fresh and warm they felt like they came straight from the fryer, served with a salsa that is flavorful and bold with the perfect amount of heat and properly thin yet hearty refried beans, to boot. My brother and I both got the fish tacos, and again, expectations were met, and exceeded. The fish was a touch salty but the salsa and chips brought more deep flavor and punch than salt so it all balanced out wonderfully. Three big tacos on double tortillas with those amazing chips for $18 with self-serve cucumber water is like a dream come true, but here, that dream is a reality. As our excellent server suggested, get the spicy green salsa to go with the tacos -- it's a perfect pairing. If I'm ever in town from the bay to hit a show at the Intuit Dome or Kia Forum in the future I will absolutely swing by La Fonda before the gig to get the night started in a high note.

From the welcoming/friendly staff to the motivational decor, I recommend eating at La Fonda. The menu has variety options. Spacious dining and restroom located in rear of dining hall. The shrimp taco plate was decent. Glad I tried this local business. The shrimp taco plate comes with rice and beans, lime, small tortilla chips, salsa, and sauce options. The salsas and sauce are a bit spicy but bearable. Not for the weak pallets or digestive lining. The tacos were tasty, and served with corn tortillas, peppers and onions. Totally satisfied with this local Mexican eatery. They have a small drink menu which I ordered the sorrel/hibiscus. Definitely worth an add if you like sorrel. The tortilla chips are in house made. If you're in the Inglewood area or staying for a layover nearby, eat at La Fonda!

We were going to a concert and found this gem! It is very close to Inuit Dome and has its own parking lot! When you first walk in it looks very small, but when you get seated it's in another room with more seating. Water is self served. We got complimentary chips, salsa and beans. The salsa wasn't very spicy. The beans tho...oh my gosh!!! The beans were SO good!!!!! I mean, the ladies that I were with don't really care for beans at Mexican places, but they ate these up!! I ordered 2 Hard Taco plate (carnitas and steak). It comes with rice and beans. The portion was a good amount! I couldn't finish everything. And the price was very reasonable! I left so content, full and happy! I'd definitely recommend coming here and will definitely be back!

I had seen this place on yelp plenty of times when looking for Mexican food and always said i was going to go but never did. Man oh man am i glad i finally did. I was craving a chorizo burrito the other morning after my pilates class.... don't judge me lol. Anywho, so I thought what about that place i saw. I googled it to get the address and off i went. Fast forward its located in a little strip mall but cannot be missed.. It's small from the outside but bigger inside with indoor seating. The service was friendly and quick. I was there probably 15 minutes for a chorizo breakfast burrito. It was so delicious with and without the salsa. They have mild to hot, all were really good and he hot was really hot lol. I will definitely be back to try other items in the menu.

My girlfriend and I stopped in to have lunch, never been to Inglewood before but were in town for Breezy Bowl from the East Bay Area. We were absolutely blown away by the quality of the food. She had the chilaquiles verde and I had the half chicken, half potato flautas. The flautas, beans and salsas were incredible. The service was professional and warm. My girl is vegetarian and they have an entire specific menu accommodating to vegetarian diets. She was thoroughly impressed. The next day we got it to go for the way home and it was JUST as amazing and delicious. We both had the gorditas which were amazing. My el pastor was so flavorful and tender and the carnitas were so delicious without being overly oily. The restaurant was also very clean, spacious and accommodating! I know we'll come back to visit soon and we will be back at La Fonda! I wish we had a place this delicious where we live!

We were in Inglewood and found LaFonda and boy am I so glad we did! We were sat right away & felt the true customer service immediately. They serve salsa, refried beans & chips upon being sat. The beans were SO good and salsa was on point. We ordered carne asada nachos & shrimp ceviche. I honestly think they were the best nachos I ever had. The meat was so delicious and every chip had the goods on it (no dry chips whatsoever). I'm super picky with my ceviche & theirs was full of shrimp & flavor. Even my iced tea was quality & I could tell home brewed. Prices were so reasonable, super clean restaurant, friendly vibes & overall such a perfect lunch! I wish I lived closer but I will definitely be back whenever I am in town!!

Live the vibe of the spot. Like the food. Nice to quickly come here after an event at SoFi. Glad it wasn't super busy and we were able to quickly get our food. I got the chicken taquitos and my son got the wet burrito. I prefer carne asada taquitos, they didn't have that but the chicken taquitos did their thing. My son did not LOVE the red sauce but he enjoyed the burrito regardless. I'd come back and bring others. My son rated them a 3.5 and I rated them a 5 which puts them at a 4.25 for us.

We were looking for a place to eat before our concert at Sofi and I wasn't sure since it was dark out front. I'm so glad we went in because this food was so delicious! My husband's asada burrito was so flavorful and my shrimp enchiladas were perfectly spicy. The margarita was one of the best I've had in LA. Not to mention the pricing was reasonable also. We'll be back for sure

I was going to a show at SoFi and didn't wanna pay 20.00 for a hot dog. Stopped here and got two crunchy steak tacos, chips and salsa (complimentary), and a lemonade all for 13 bucks without tip. Great price but the steak was some of the driest meat I've ever eaten. So I probably wouldn't get it again... Salsa and chips tasted homemade, service was really good. Parking was easy and it's a good location to eat fast then get to a show. Clean bathrooms and nice clean dining area.

Restaurant is cool. When you walk in you get seated. There is a water station. Where they also offer word search and pens to use along the to-go containers. They don't serve liquor, but they do serve wine and beer. The Margaritas have wine in it. It was cool.

Decided to try this spot with a friend for dinner. At the entrance was greeted by a friendly server. Waited about 10 minutes until they told me to sign my party in on a clipboard. I ordered an Al pastor taco and enchilada plate. The Al pastor taco was probably the best thing I had. The meat was tender and flavorful. You could tell that it was fresh. The enchilada plate was of cheese and chicken with two different sauces. The red sauce had no spice and the green one was spicy as advertised on their menu. The enchiladas lacked flavor along with the beans and rice served with them. The rice was dry and the beans were good but were missing something else like cheese on top. I could not speak for the other dishes since my friend ordered them but he said he enjoyed them and would give it an 8/10. The ambiance in the restaurant was nice with Spanish music playing. It was clean, the only thing that was a bit uncomfortable was the temperature in there as it was pretty warm and I had to take off my sweater. There is plenty of parking outside considering it is on a busy street. Overall I would come back here if I was I the area for lunch.

Was at this establishment on 10/2/2025. Had a tall glass of Jamaica, which I've just learned is an iced hibiscus tea. Delish! Chips were so, so fresh, and the salsa was genuine, freshly made, and just the right amount of zing. Ordered the nachos, I know, such an ordinary choice for this gringo, but what can I say, I love 'em! Guacamole was also very fresh. I despise nachos made with pulled beef (so stringy!!); this was made with chopped steak. Very flavorful. Plenty of cheese. My waiter was very attentive without being over-attentive, with a "take your time!" after the bill was paid. Great experience; highly recommend!

This is one of my favorite restaurants. The atmosphere is so welcoming, clean and comfortable. The employees are respectful and accommodating!

I love how they greeted us, asked if we've been there before, said no and they showed us where the restrooms were before sitting. They checked on us frequently! My bf & I had taco plates and everything was delicious! Horchata is 1000/10!!!!! It's rare to get everything you eat at a restaurant to be very good, especially the salsa and bean dip!! We'll definitely come back since we are from the Central Valley.

The food was good. Loved the chips and salsa. They were crunchy but soft and most importantly, fresh. My husband ordered the wet shrimp burrito. Good amount of shrimp, and the sauce was delicious, wished he would have ordered more chips. I had the potato taquitos. Served with a side of rice and beans. I would have liked the tacos more if they were topped with salsa, sour cream and lettuce when served. As opposed to having to dip them in sour cream and guac, and topping it with lettuce or eating it with a fork. The margarita was quite mild. Definitely needed a little more triple sec and tequila. Then again it's not too expensive. Most places charge $15 here you pay $7. The service was really good. Everyone here was nice, servers were good about making rounds and making sure we got everything we needed. They seemed to have a lot of people coming to pick up food, and likely had little time to tend to tables left with dishes, but I think it should be a priority. Just not pleasant to see leftovers. Overall, the place is spacious, food is good, and staff is great!

Okay I wanted to try this place because the reviews are amazing and it's also very close to my job! I got the taquitos de papa and let me say it did not disappoint! It was so good and crunchy and just perfect! The rice and beans made it 10x better with all the ingredients as well. Definitely will be coming back! I called and placed an order and was ready within 10 mins. They have a parking lot and dine in seating, it's spacious. Definitely will be coming back!!

I have been here many times and I very much enjoy the food. My mom came over and was hungry so I suggested this place since they have delivery and I actually enjoy the food. My food was good. I had the Camarones a la diabla. She ordered the chile relleno. My mom was almost done eating when she bit into something hard. She spit it out immediately. It was a small piece of metal. She was scooping the beans with the chips. So she doesn't know where it came from. Could have been either. At first we thought it was a staple but we realized the chips aren't stapled shut. So we have no clue. I really love this place so I'm disappointed her first time trying this happened.

The food was lacking in flavor. The margaritas seemed to have little to no alcohol. More like juice. The only standout was the customer service. They were nice but in terms of service they got my friends order wrong 3x. It was only my first time here but nothing was impressive enough to wanna give them a second chance.
