La Fuente Mexican Food

I live near this place and go here often and the food and service is perfect like 4 out of 5 times. The only negatives I can point out is that their Jamaica is too bland most of the time, but the Horchata is fire!!! Every once in a while I might get rolled tacos that are too peppery (with literal black pepper) or maybe some guac that's a little more brown then I care for, but otherwise I love coming here. I am a vegetarian and this place is very accommodating and I will happily walk past other restaurants to come to La Fuente. The photo I attached is Carne Asada fries (with no meat) and they filled that container to the brim!!! I've never been happier. I usually spend $15-$20 each visit and they do have a rewards system! Plus an open salsa bar with several different salsas and veggies. I love the habanero salsa (the orange one). Yes there is seating inside and outside. Sometimes they have really good music playing. They also do taco Tuesdays outside! Take it from someone who lives in the area and comes here often, La Fuente is worth it. That and Colima's down the street are the best 2 Mexican places in Hillcrest. Vegetarian options: You can ask for almost anything to be made without meat. It's a Mexican restaurant. If it's Mexican food, they can make it. Even if it's not on the menu.

Wrong order, correct order was inedible and cheese was fresh out of the fridge, unmelted. Friend was unable to get a take out box. Expected more from this part of town.

I phoned in to place a pick up order. The person that answered the phone acted as if she didn't speak English. I hung up and called again this time there was no issue with her English. When I picked up the order it was ready but I had to ask for the drink that was included in the order. Not sure why the attitude, but I didn't let it disturb me. Will I go there again? Not likely. The food was fine but the attitude with the order; I can spend my money elsewhere. As far as the atmosphere, the place was empty. Maybe that has to do with the customer service. Parking: There was a small lot behind the restaurant. Didn't know it was there at first.

My food was ok. The got the drink wrong. And my friends order was all messed up. And when it was redone it wasn't cooked all the way. Cheese was still cold. No habla English!!!?

A great place for burritos after a night out :D
