Worst food and service of my life. We had Gabby as our waitress. We sent the food back twice, still not getting what we ordered. When I ordered the flauta dinner, I specifically specified that I wanted ground hamburger meat with flour tortillas. I got the food, the rice and beans hard and dry, and they gave me a corn tortilla with pulled pork meat! I, of course, sent it back and asked them to correct it. They then microwaved the lettuce and tomato, making it soggy and warm. The rice and beans were now hard and dry as well. They now corrected the hamburger meat, but gave me soggy corn tortillas instead of flour! I sent it back a SECOND time, and they got the flour and beef, but it was even soggier and grease soaked. They had microwaved the food yet again! Even so, the spoonful of hamburger meat they gave me on each of them still somehow managed to be cold. None of the times was I given the pico de gallo they had promised to come with it. The person with me ordered a California style burrito with no sour cream. While they made that order "right", it was filled with half rice, no pico de gallo, and flavorless hamburger meat. The skimpy amount of cheese that was melted on top wasnt even mozerella, it was some bland tasting yellow cheese. This is not authentic Mexican food! Finally we just paid the bill for the mostly uneaten, nasty food and left. The waitress was very snotty. She didnt check back on the food and did very little to try to improve this terrible experience after having to get another waitress to flag her down (not that they were busy). This is one place I will NEVER eat at again. P.S. Went to Arbys to have an edible dinner after already spending $30 on a garbage meal. We had better food and service at a fast food resturaunt just to really show a comparison...

Recently met up with family for lunch. They were able to seat our party of 8 comfortably. The chips and salsa tasted fresh. Great atmosphere, Mexican music playing over speakers. Great windows for out door light. Flat screens all around. Each booth has a speaker and you can tune into the TV show of your choice. My meal the Ranchero plate with steak was tender, and I had to compliment the owner on the sauce. The guacamole was some of the most flavorful I had at a restaurant in Michigan. Menu has a good selection of seafood dishes, salads and vegetarian meals. Save room for dessert, the Banana Chimichanga was delicious: thin crispy fried dough around the banana served with vanilla ice cream. They have a full bar. We would definitely return.

Well Im mexican so I have high standards when it comes to the food fortunately this place was dead on on everything that weve ordered for the last few weekends I would honestly give it A5 star however there has been about two instances where the server wasnt all that great nothing to do with the food just to server didnt have to send the food back just just the server. Serving sizes is great with a reasonable price still go back every weekend

Service was terrible. Had one person seat us and bring us drinks, then a different person take our order then the first person brought us our food out. Margarita was okay, food was alright but nothing special. There were maybe a total of 16 people In the restaurant including myself and father and it took 10 minutes for the waitress to come to us when there were 3 others there. Definitely wont be back for awhile.

Very nice, except for when I pulled up in the parking lot I almost left. The outside flowers havent been taken care of . Watering the beautiful roses, weeds, ext, I just wondered if the outside wasnt taken care of how was the inside. Food and help, both good.

Service is great. My 3 star rating comes from a place of being part mexican and having high standards of mexican food it is not as authentic as I hoped. Ask for the hot salsa with your chips because the house salsa is not hot it reminds me of marinara sauce.

Great service, love the 5 tacos for $6 special. Edgar was fast polite and asked questions before I could. They have a comfortable environment, and great place for larger parties. (Theres even a dance floor) plus the tequila selection is far above par.

Service was terrible. Took 30 minutes to get my tacos (on Taco Tuesday) and when they finally arrived they gave me beef tacos when I ordered chicken. It was not very busy. Awful experience. Will not go here again.

The service was horrible. It took 10 minutes to seat us in a mostly empty restaurant, and it got even worse from there. The margarita and food were ok, but because of the service, I will not be going back any time soon.

Food was ok, portions smallest than usual MX places, drinks were crazy expensive. The atmosphere was nice, but there are better places with cheaper prices within a couple miles of this place.

I like going to this place. The portions are reasonable to large. The staff is has always been friendly. They have allowed me to make adjustments to the entree to make it a low carb meal.

The food was a little pricey but they did give out nice portions the fajitas were the best could have been a little cleaner and his staff could have been a little friendlier

Food is amazing. Try the carnitas tacos.. The taco sauce is perfectly spiced. The service was great tonight as well. What a perfect destination for authentic Mexican food!

The food is good, the atmosphere is great. Everyone is very friendly. The only reason I only gave 4 stars is because my chicken was dry this time

I had an absolute blast here! Best Mexican food ever! Gabby was my waiter and let me tell you, she is amazing. So kind and fun is she. I love it

Mediocre food. Excellent salsa. Less than enthusiastic waitresses. Nothing like being served by someone who would rather be anywhere else.

I enjoyed my dinner at La Fonda Mexican Kitchen. The food was good and the staff friendly. I will recommend La Fonda to my friends.
