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.

    From making a reservation to paying, the experience and quality and service was impeccable. Highly recommend!! and that was my first time. The only issue I had was parking, but I completely understood that it was at the height of the lunch hour.

    Very good service. Quite possibly the best meal I've ever had. The skirt steak and church's are to die for. Very old and historic building, but is very clean and a great atmosphere. A must have if passing through San Antonio
