La Fonda de San Mateo

fantastic food great price and service Parking: parking on street or in back

My wife and I love dining here. Great food at a good price. Super friendly staff.

Super quaint, very cute. There is a smalll fire place giving the place such a cozy vibe. The bar seats about 6-7 people and looks perfect for a spot with 3-4 of your buddies. Food is great

Excellent food, home style.

This is a busy family run restaurant. Make a reservation during peak times is my suggestion. The service is super friendly and fast and they make you feel special. The ambiance is warm, vibrant and reminds of Mexican hacienda. The servings are generous. The food overall is well presented and tasty. Yup, try this restaurant. You will like it.

We have been there 3 times. The first time we changed our mind and decided we did not want to sit outdoors. We were told by the owner too bad, now you have to wait, and we waited about 30 minutes to get waited on. There were 3 other customers only. When he came to the table and we asked questions about the menu, he said, "Do you want to eat here or not?" The 3rd time we went in, we ordered and was surprised that there was only 4 small pieces of beef in the fajita burrito and teaspoon of chicken and shredded beef on the toastada and taco. When my husband asked, when they asked us how the meal was, the comment was meat was expensive and we could go across the street if we wanted more beef. We would have paid for extra meat had we known. The Fajita Combo was good, which is what we had the first two times we were there. Those kind of comments to customers are unacceptable, and this is the first time I have written a negative review. We will not return.
