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.

    La Fonda on Main is just SO good, every single time. It has one of the nicest outdoor seating/ patios in town. And the food is consistently fresh, innovative and delicious. Excellent service. One of my favorite restaurants in San Antonio.

    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.
