Experience Through Their Eyes

Enchiladas were delicious as always I did take out, food was hot n ready quick. I thought the amount of beans n rice was a bit skimpy for price paid. Rice was good People that waited on me were friendly and helpful

LA FUENTE is hands down the absolute BEST PLACE for Mexican food and margaritas (esp. blood orange & blackberry)! We visit La Fuente's a couple times a week on average, because we just can not get enough of the great food, the scrumptious margaritas, and the delicious cheesecake and fried ice cream desserts. But most of all, the owner and all the wait staff at La Fuente are exceptional in their duties and they always makes us feel welcome when we walk in the door. We have never been left waiting for anything, whether it was to be seated, waiting for our margaritas, or our food. Top notch service every time. Every. Time. And of course Rosa is the sweetest waitress, and Jesus is so friendly and great to talk with, but also very professional and a great waiter! Do we recommend La Fuente? Absolutely!!!!! Will we be back again? You can bet on it!!!!! See y'all soon!

Except for the older building with a faded exterior this place is great. It's like they know that they are good and don't feel the need to update their building; not a bad strategy. Anyway, go there! Western Mexico/pacific feels and food. Very good. Prices very reasonable.

Ribeye could have been better..... The meat was pretty tough and chewy.. otherwise nothing to complain about.!! Well worth the money and the pricing was very much inline.!!
