We tried LAFONDA for the first time this evening. It's a clean restaurant and has a nice atmosphere. Our server was very nice and attentive. We started our meal with chips, salsa and fundido dip. We enjoyed the warm, thin chips and the fundido! The salsa was mild but flavorful. Per our servers suggestion, we ordered the Carne Asada. The beef was super dry and over cooked. Instead of rice and beans, we tried the Calabecitas. The veggies were mushy and served in a broth. We got rice to substitute for the veggies and it had no flavor. We tried to find the positives , unfortunately we can't recommend eating at this restaurant.
