Navigate so you don't drive by on this busy stretch of mini malls, this one next to a cell phone stores and the El Montan motel. Back in New England I've never had salsa as good as the salsa here. The rest of the meal followed, also amazing. Our plates were huge and tasty, so you might be getting two meals out of that reasonably priced plate, as we did. Friendly staff, cute restaurant, and from far away, something you'll miss. So don't miss this spot!

La Fonda is one of our favorite Mexican restaurants in town. When you arrive it feels like you're…read morestepping into an inviting home rather than a business. The food is upscale traditional Mexican fare but has most of your usual options like enchiladas and fajitas. We always start with chips and salsa. Their salsa is freshly made with tomatoes and onions. We always go at dinner time and have had a variety of dishes. I'm partial to their fajitas or steaks while my husband goes with their Fonda plate of enchiladas with a side taco. But don't miss out on their specials. Every month or so their are seasonal specials. Most recently we both had a wood fired pork chop with poblano mashed potatoes and cabbage and garbanzo bean casserole with a slightly spiced chile sauce. It was divine!! The food is always delicious and beautifully presented. It's clear that the chefs pay attention to details. The staff are always helpful and attentive. You don't want to pass on dessert either. Their empanadas are seasonal. BlackBerry are my favorite. Recently the option was Apple pie, for the fall season La Fonda on Main is one if those comforting places we return to over and over and is one of those places to take out of town guests who want local, non-chain atmosphere and food.

The Baja tacos were fantastic, and the enchiladas are an absolute must-order. But the real star of the show? Their corn tortillas. Truly amazing -- you can tell they're made with care, and they elevated every single dish. If you're looking for genuine Mexican flavors with great service to match, this is the spot. Can't wait to go back!

We ordered the half chicken ($11), and I was honestly surprised by how juicy and moist it still was inside. The outside had a wonderful smoky charcoal flavor, and the marinade was flavorful all the way through. It also came with rice, corn tortillas, red and green salsa, grilled jalapeño, lime, and grilled onion, so it was a really filling meal for the price. We also tried the Bean Burger ($9.79), which was a fun combination of a beef patty, refried beans, cheese, chipotle sauce, and pico de gallo. I enjoyed it, although I personally would have loved a thicker layer of beans. The green salsa was SO good that I ended up buying an extra container for about $5 to take home. The restaurant itself is very casual and no-frills, with a big charcoal grill that really adds to the atmosphere--you can see and smell the chicken cooking. It feels much more like a local neighborhood spot than a polished tourist restaurant. Service was also very friendly and attentive. Even though we arrived late, we never felt rushed, and our server checked on us several times to make sure we had everything we needed. I would absolutely come back for the chicken and green salsa.

We had…read morewanted to try Iron Cactus earlier in our trip but were too tired that evening to make the walk from our hotel. Now that we happened to be nearby, this was our opportunity. It was a hot Sunday afternoon, so there was no debate about where we wanted to sit. We headed straight for the wonderfully air-conditioned dining room, which provided a welcome break after spending time in the sun during our river cruise. Gabby was our server, and she was fantastic. She was friendly and attentive, took our order right away, and delivered our drinks promptly. What impressed us most was how she kept our drinks refilled without us ever having to ask. Her service was outstanding and made an already enjoyable lunch even better. The food was just as impressive. Our Mexican entrées were delicious and exactly what we needed after a hot afternoon on the River Walk. Between the excellent food, Gabby's attentive service, and the comfortable, modern dining room, Iron Cactus turned out to be the perfect place to relax and recharge. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience and will definitely return the next time we're in San Antonio. Next time, though, we'd like to come back for dinner and experience Iron Cactus in the evening.
