La Fonda Latina - Atlanta

I've been coming to LaFonda for years (since the late 90s) and two things are consistent: the servers/service (some I've seen for years) and the food. I like the Paella (minus the calamari) and the Chicken Reuben. Their salsa is always fresh and bright (either it's lime or cilantro). The cops are always fresh and crunchy. It is great if you can to grab a table and relax on the upper deck/balcony, but it's difficult to get a table up there if you don't get there early. I find it is slightly cooler than the smaller outside front area (but it is GA). Otherwise, this is a quick go to restaurant on Ponce de Leon. Enjoy.

Ordered a grilled chicken sub black bean for small grilled veggies. The sour cream is not theirs but the salsa is. The chicken was flavorful, tender and the rice and veggies were delicious as well . I will definitely be back for this and to try their paella, quesadillas, margaritas, flan, guacamole among other things! Oh Michelle was really sweet!

An Atlanta staple for sure. I?ve been eating at La Fonda for decades. Have moved all over the country and this is still one of my favorite restaurants. They have amazing paella, guacamole, ropa, and tacos. The staff is always quick, courteous, and welcoming. Their patio is wonderful and has a lovely view of the city. As long as they are around I will make a point to stop by when I pass through Atlanta.

I swear the food here is so delicious and the portion sizes are huge. I?ve only ordered to go from here a couple of times but my order is always correct and delicious. The seafood taste so fresh and the queso and salsa are both addicting.

The atmosphere was nice and we chose to sit on the outdoor patio downstairs to enjoy the weather. The seats are a bit uncomfortable though and the tables could be bigger. We had four people in our party and with appetizers and drinks plus entrees, the table was a bit crowded for my liking. The staff was attentive and polite. The drinks were strong and delicious, however, they didn't have fountain soda and you had to get a can of Sprite with a glass of ice. I thought it was expensive for a 12oz can.... especially with no refills. The food was hot and delicious and authentic. I would have liked a bigger bowl of chips and salsa for the table...one small salad bowl of chips for four people just isn't enough!
