LA FONDA RESTAURANT AND BAR - Authentic Mexican Cuisine in Redwood City

I went with the recommended mole and my daughter had the chicken dish. The place is amazing all the way around and while the prices are a little on the higher side, you get what you pay for. We enjoyed the food and the service!

Great food, beer and cocktails. All the food was very fresh and distinctive. Especially loved the mole poblano sauce. Very attentive and friendly service.

Hands down the best Mexican food I’ve had outside of Mexico City. Every dish is bursting with flavor and freshly prepared, from the bold mezcalitas and creamy guacamole to the unforgettable mole sauce. The food transported me right back to the streets of CDMX. Ambience is laid back with a steady stream of local regulars. The service is warm, though it can take a bit of time, and can be a little inconsistent. Be sure to check what is included in your order. The servers made a mistake with the order but were open to feedback. Their drink menu features a great selection of mezcals and well crafted cocktails, and the house-made churros are the perfect sweet finish. The menu is concise but well curated and you really can’t go wrong with anything you order. I loved it so much I went twice during a short visit to California, and I’m already looking forward to going back. Highly recommend for anyone craving authentic, soul satisfying Mexican cuisine.

A Gem! Each dish was bursting with flavor. Guacamole was fresh, nice lime tang. Huevos con chorizo and huevos ranchero were also excellent. Fresh and flavorful. Lentil soup was on the house. Some of the best lentil soup I’ve tasted. Service was attentive and warm. Definitely be back!

I came in on a Friday morning and from the moment I walked through the door, the person who seated me was incredibly sweet, attentive, and caring—it felt almost like being at home. The food was amazing and truly exceeded my expectations, especially the handmade tortillas. To top it all off, the cafecito with flan was the perfect finishing touch. While prices may be on the higher side, the outstanding service and quality of the food make it absolutely worth it. If you come here, your expectations will not only be met, but exceeded.

Came here for lunch and was blown away by the food, service, and vibes! This spot is a somewhat hidden treasure for the Peninsula, food is super fresh and flavorful, your tastebuds will do a dance! In top of the amazing food, the artwork is incredible. You can tell that those who work at this establishment rightfully have a lot of pride in this place. Highly recommend La Fonda!

Great food! Felt like home cooked food and awesome and quick service. I loved the pozole and the cochinitas pibil trios tacos
