Best

The best ever mexican food- it's so authentic! Great spot, highly recommend it have the loborito and the nachos. Pros: none Cons: none

Worst

I wouldn't recommend the restaurant. The food is mediocre and the atmosphere isn't pleasant. The bar is better.

Run away 4/16/2009

The food wavered between bland, greasy, and just plain bad. Nothing was good in any way, from the chips to the salsa to the beans to the rice to the different entrees we got. A friend of mine warned me this place was bad. I should have listened. Pros: Nobody died Cons: Pretty much everything else more

Awful...Just Awful 12/17/2008

The previous 5 star reviews were obviously written by an owner or the washed up model who does they're advertisements. The management treats the staff terribly, in front of customers. They also treat customers the same way when you mention that swearing at an employee on the dining room floor is dispicable. The food is terrible. Very bland. They're so called ""Brothers Burrito"", apparently the hottest item on the menu, was boring. I think they just added the jalapenos to cover the taste of inferior beef. I mean seriously, do they not check they expiration or is it that poor quality? Further more this is not real authentic mexican. I would prefer to eat at El Loro down the street. At least there when then manager comes to the table to check on us, he doesn't tell me I'm wrong when I tell him my burrito is not right. At Lafondas they say ""well that's the way it's made."" What happened to ""let me fix that for you"" or ""is there anything I can do?"" Pros: friendly wait staff Cons: food, parking, management more

Ugh 4/9/2008

Horrible service. Very slow. Afterwards most of us felt sick from how greasy the food was. Nachos (chips with melted cheese) took nearly an hour to be served. more

Terrible Customer Service 2/25/2008

We had a goup birthday party this past Saturday and I cant even begin to explain my disappointment. We had reservations for 12 and we were given a table for 10. WE asked the waitress for another table... 15 minutes later 2 people in our party were still standing at the bar...so we asked the manager, he finally got us the table but not without being rude first. The food took forever to get to us. Drinks were hardly refilled. Food tasted ok though. Then we had another encounter with the manager who was again completely rude. AND to top it off... I checked my bank account today and I was charged $80 when my tab was $62... go figure. Now I have to make a call and get it straightened out. I hope I get to speak with someone besides the manager that wason duty that night.. Pros: Foods pretty good Cons: Service is terrible to say the least more

The best mexican restaurant 12/13/2007

I have been a guest at LaFonds for 12 years now. The food has always been outstanding and consistant. The service good and excellent Margaritas. I have recommended Lafonds to my friends and family and will continue to do so. Thanks for the best mexican restaurant in the twin cities. I love the sports bar Cantina on the lower level. Pros: Great Food Cons: Better Margaritas specials more

I guess if your a swinger... 9/1/2007

I have heard that this place is a big gathering place for a group of swingers. This could explain the magenta bathrooms with small trashcans between the urinals filled with Trojan wrappers. The food is awful and expensive. The servers must be gold members of the swingers club because they are certainly not interested in working there. Pros: might be a good place to join a wife swap group Cons: read the review more

Owner Message
  • La Fonda was originally established as "Holly Inn" in the spring of 1976.


    (La Fonda de Acebo) Octaviano "Otis" Trujillo, one of the original owners, re-established La Fonda de Los Lobos in May of 1992. (The Inn of the Wolves) Otis was born in Taos, New Mexico where "Mama Feloniz" still resides at the tender age of 83 surrounded by two of her four children and still enjoys good health.


    Inspired by his late father Ruben, Otis moved on to Denver, Colorado where he learned the restaurant industry and resided until the move to Minnesota.


    The bulk of our foods and recipes originate from Mama Feloniz. Most of our ingredients are still shipped from New Mexico so that we can share with you the very tastes we have enjoyed for years.
