Located just a few minutes from downtown in architecturally rich Monte Vista neighborhood, La Fonda on Main is the oldest Mexican food restaurant in San Antonio. La Fonda serves both the best of Tex-Mex cuisine as well as authentic dishes of interior Mexico in a fun and casual setting with beautiful patio dining. We're open 7 days a week offering our full menu as well as family meals and catering options on curbside. Happy Hour is Monday-Thursday from 3pm-6pm. We offer a full bar with a wide variety of liquor, beer and wine. Saturday's and Sunday's we serve brunch from 10:00am-3:00pm. Our fabulous margaritas are made with hand-squeezed limes and your choice of a large selection of tequilas and mezcals. Our famous patio is heated from the ground up for chilly nights under the stars and lights in the trees.

    Another great night at La Fonda! We sat outside under the tree on our favorite patio in San Antonio for a special end of year meal (special even though we’re there almost every week!).

    If you want a beautiful experience and wonderful food you must put La Fonda on Main on your list of places to eat. The service was amazing and so was our meal. I had the Lobster and Shrimp enchiladas and I would definitely get them again.
