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.

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.

    Always extraordinary. Indoor seating quiet and comfortable; outdoor seating airy and inviting. The menu may have some unrecognizable items (interior Mexico verbage), but regardless of what you order you won't miss!

    This was our first visit and we were pleasantly surprised. We sat on the patio and although it was cold, the heaters and the provided zarape made it warm. The food was amazing and the drinks and service were fenomenal. Highly recommended.

    La Fonda haas been one of our favorite spots for the five years we have been in and around San Antonio. During that time the menu has matured and developed a more extensive reach. It has always had Tex-Mex classics but now the repertoire has expanded to include more purely Mexican dishes like ceviche and some exploratory cuisine reflecting kitchen creativity. Our most recent dining experience was on Valentine's Day, so the menu reflected that, with options that had related themes. My wife had the salmon and pepitas while I had a chili relleno, which had an accompanying cheese enchilada that nicely balanced the chili. We split a Valentine dessert of blackberry empanadas with cherry ice cream that we really enjoyed. Our server was very professional and attentive and knew the menu well. My wife had a NA cocktail while I had their take on an Old Fashioned. Overall, a great time and a fine meal.

    The food is always fabulous, and the service as well. The house margaritas NEVER disappoint either. They always have fresh iced tea and the chips and salsa are wonderful. It is our favorite place. Unfortunately it was too cold to sit outside, although some were doing so, but we love sitting outside otherwise.
