La Fuente Restaurant

"Someone in your company made a small error in a calculation, and your client just found out that their new cost-saving program is saving $20 instead of $20,000. That person was you. Before you start rewriting your resume, wash down the shame with a burrito from El Fuente. This Highland Park classic has been around forever, and their giant servings of Mexican food are especially good when you need comfort food. The space is also casual enough that you can show up in sweats, and probably cry quietly at your table." - amy clark, brett keating

"La Fuente on Figueroa (next to the famed Chicken Boy statue) is the kind of old-school Mexican restaurant that heals your soul as soon as you walk through the door. The space is pretty big, but between the friendly waitstaff and the plates of food larger than your torso, you feel right at home immediately. Order the El Rey burrito and have enough food for three separate meals. " - brant cox, garrett snyder, sylvio martins

"La Fuente in Highland Park serves the kind of old-school Mexican food that cures your soul the second you start eating it - and we could all use a heavy helping of that right now. Their extensive menu is available for both takeout and delivery, and whether it’s tacos, nachos, or tortas, you can’t really order poorly here. That said, if you get the El Rey burrito, you’ll have enough leftovers for two more meals." - brant cox

"La Fuente is the kind of old-school Mexican restaurant that cures your soul as soon as you walk through the door. The place is miniature, but between the boisterous waitstaff and the plates of food larger than your torso, you feel right at home immediately. Don’t come looking for modern takes on the tamale here. This is your cheese and sauce-doused enchilada combo paradise, and we wouldn’t have it any other way. Order the El Rey burrito and have enough food for three separate meals." - Brant Cox
