La Fonda is of the beaten track for most tourists, but all the locals know of it, and has done well since they opened, and thats saying something, because they are not in a prominent location. They have very good mexican dishes, and the place is lovely, and has great decorations, and look. more

This is the best all around restaurant in town. The food, service and atmosphere are all fantastic. The Short Ribs and the Shank are excellent. We have never been disappointed and would highly advise anyone who appreciates top cuisine to dine at La Fonda at least once per trip. more

This place is so good, it's hard to believe it's in Cabo. It's out of the way enough to avoid the tequila-drinking frat boy crowd that's marred much of the region. You'll want to dress up a bit (i.e., wear long trousers and closed shoes). La Fonda is a serious restaurant serving well made versions of classic Mexican dishes such... more

The food here was great. I think I said how good it was after almost every bite! The menu is extensive so it took a long time for me to pick something. My husband loved his meal as well. The deserts looked so good I wanted to order one of each but went with the chocolate cake and a capuccino.... more

This was our third visit to La Fonda. Like other reviews say, the food is very authentic and everything is delicious. The food is a great value. The margaritas are delicious, but pricey. I think this should be everyone's "go to" restaurant when you want to eat upscale Mexican food in Cabo. Everyone we recommend or bring to La Fonda... more

La Fonda was recommended by several locals although only after pressed for something other that the standard big names usually given. It was certainly the best food we had on this trip to Cabo. The menu has many choices, from tame to adventurous (ants, grasshoppers, etc) and everything we had was flavorful and well prepared. Service was very good although... more
