Hear from our valued guests
Quaint , clean , efficient , good variety, nice portions and prices , served quickly and correctly with the food being absolutely delicious! I am not a fan of Mexican food BUT this gem of a place IS the exception . The waiters worked together as a team and went out of the way to check and answer questions promptly . They each kept an eye on all the tables and your drinks were never too low. I was amazed we never had to wonder were our waiter had run off to, as others places the waiters always seem to vanish . Not here! Any employee was there on the spot as soon as you started to begin to look. True team work in providing a great service . Each one had a genuine smile and eager to accommodate . Once we decided which appetizers and entrees we wanted, The food arrived fresh, hot and extremely quickly ! I will definitely go back and cannot imagine any other better Mexican restaurant! I can now say ‘ I love Mexican food!’
The food and service are always excellent! The flan is amazing!

My Guys there at La Fonda’s take care of us and are soo great! Forever customer’s and family! Great food great service!!!
I stop here every time I'm in Harrodsburg. Great food, reasonable prices and wonderful service, ask for Rico
I'm up here from southeastern Tennessee and mostly stopped in here desperation because we were starving and were having a hard time finding vegetarian food (the Trustees table had a 2 hour wait and the other mexican place in town had ZERO veggie options). Man, was i plesantly surprised. Everything was hot, fresh and delicious. And that red sauce on the burrito was so good! It was so good that it's the only place we're going back to eat again! Next time i come up here for vacation, I'll remember this place for sure!
