Reviews La Fondita Mexicana

We have been looking for YEARS for really good Mexican cuisine here in Florida. This place is the ONLY place with really great Everything!!! And FYI, although I am a Gringa, I know my Mexican food!!! This was so delicious, I was emotional. Name a place in sofla that has Mexican food and they cannot, will not hold a candle to this place, PERIOD! Am in love with this spot! The welcoming, cozy environment was just icing on the bizcocho!!!

I loved the food. I had a chico-sized bowl of seafood soup (caldero de marisco) and the chile relleno con pollo. The restaurant is clean and nicely decorated and the people are nice and friendly. Nice cold cerveza too.

The service is slow but it's worth waiting for it's cook a authentic very awesome place finally we get real Mexican food

First time I tried tacos de lengua. Not my favorite but they were still good. Either way it was a lot of food and I couldn’t finish it. We had the cocktail shrimp and as an appetizer. Then for our main course I selected 3 tacos thinking they came small, surely was I mistaken. They were huge and I could not finish. I also ordered a sopa de Res, which was absolutely delicious ! Loved the decorations and classic music.

Overall it was delicious. We ordered beef fajitas that came with freshly made tortillas, beef tacoes, and some guac and chips. It was delicious. The food portions were generous (we couldn't finish it and took a take home box) and the prices are great. Very clean, nice atmosphere, great music. The waitresses are kind if you are kind and want you to have a great meal. I definitely recommend this place if you are looking for some good authentic Mexican cuisine.

Omg best Mexican food I've ever had in my life, The Sopes are amazing and made from scratch. Beware either come with an empty stomach or someone to share the dish with or you're going to be leaving with leftovers! The shrimp torta is amazing, the shrimp is very high quality. The service was amazing, I came in at 15 minutes until closing and they were very kind, friendly and understanding and still willing to cook me fresh hot food. After I explained to them that I was staying in a Airbnb and had nowhere to sit down to eat, they were more than wanting to accommodate me and open a table back up for me so I could enjoy my food at the restaurant. In a way it's good that I'm down here as a tourist and don't live here because if I lived close to this place I would probably go broke coming here all the time.

The family and I had a delicious authentic Mexican dinner last night. We started with the guacamole and we agreed that it was the best we’ve had in a long time. We chose to add the spicy green salsa to it to add spice. My wife had the hibiscus tea and really liked it. She’s had their horchata during past visits and liked it, too. The kiddo ordered the chicken quesadilla sans the salad. It was stuffed with chicken and cheese. She said it was very filling. I ordered the small pozole. It lacked a litttle flavor for my liking, but with adding the lime, green hot salsa, lettuce, white onion and cilantro (which are the normal accompaniments with this dish) it was perfect. Full of meat and just enough hominy. My wife ordered the chicken fajitas for all of us to share. The flavor was on point. The tomatoes, onions and green peppers had the perfect amount of char. The chicken was well seasoned. The Mexican rice was perfect! Just like my mother in law’s and grandmother in law’s! My wife ordered a single pork taco. For us, it was not our favorite and a little dry. We should have gotten a carne asada taco. Finally, my wife ordered the caldo de res, beef soup, she loved it. She liked the broth. It was full of flavor from the oregano and bay leaves. As far as service, we had great service last night. There have been times that we went and the service was slow. This is one of those mama & papa’s ( mom & pops lol) located on Johnson Street in Hollywood. We love it here and feel it’s the closest to true Mexican food. In an effort to prevent any comments arguing about true Mexican food, my wife is 100% Mexican from Las Vegas via Los Angeles. We have done A LOT of taste testing here in South Florida. Just a tip- they are putting an automatic 15-18% tip on the checks with their new system. Don’t add a tip on the POS system, rather leave cash if you want to boost it to 20%. Although I think it’s wrong, I’ll still go for the delicious food

One of the best authentic Mexican restaurants I've had in South Florida. I've lived in San Diego so you must know, I know good Mexican food. Very tasty traditional flavors. The Jamaica drink is made in house, refreshing & tasty; along with other traditional drinks. Everything is good! Must try!!!!!

I love this place! Best street tacos in SoFlo. It's a hidden gem. Service is good. Food is fantastic. They have a nice menu of options to choose from and prices are affordable. On weekends they play live music and Latin music is always on television and sound system. It's a small place, but very clean. I love the lengua tacos. Every thing I have ever had here was delicious. A variety of domestic and imported beers sold. They do not sell liquor. The waitstaff are always nice. Note some have limited English skills for those who don't speak Spanish well but it it not an issue at all. They are very nice. It's a great spot to get real-authentic Mexican food and not that processed fusion stuff people sell today as Mexican food. It's simple and delicious.

Surprisingly tasty lengua tacos and salsa with true habanero flavor and heat 🌶️🌶️🌶️😍. Service and kitchen were quick and friendly😊
