I got the steak back in October during the moapa valley maze season, it was a little expensive but it had a unique taste to it, overall it was pretty good but mostly I enjoyed it because my daughter liked it after a long day at the maze and now its a core memory for me so thank you read more

We were camping at Valley of Fire So Small town few options. La Fonda seemed like a hometown gathering place as everyone greeted each other as they came in. Found the portions and options great. Liked the salsa offerings right of the top of hot or mild. The rice caught me off guard as it had what we determined was a Chinese flare to the seasoning. It was good still. They offered a Korean type of dish so maybe some Asian crossover in the kitchen. Quiet place with varied seating options. Worth a visit if in the area. read more

Came for dinner with the family while we stayed over night on a family vacation. The only Mexican place near by. The restaurant decor is minimal but the staff is friendly with excellent timely service. The food was good. There were a couple of cons though. Chips and salsa are extra after the first order which ain't much to begin with. Don't change your order! We ordered one taco for my daughter and change the meat to carne asada. Charged us plenty for that change. The plate cost more than my wive's fajitas. One taco with rice and beans. Be aware of the pricing. read more

There are not a lot of choices in this rural piece of Nevada. The food was okay. I mean you go south a little ways and this would be a 1 star, but since it is the only thing in this little piece of the world I gave it 3. The food was hot, but was pretty bland. The prices were strip prices, but I guess you can charge whatever you want when you are the only gig in town. Decor was nice, place was clean, service was pretty speedy. read more

After a longgggg day at Valley of Fire state park we were starving. This is a very small town, the only things open was this and the McDonald's. We were a little reluctant because we are not from the area or Nevada for the matter. But, we were presently surprised with the service and food. Everything was very authentic and the portions were huge. I was happy to support this small business. (: read more

The service was great, the people were very friendly and welcoming. We ordered our food to go as we were on a roadtrip to Utah. We ordered what we thought was going to be a shareable "snack" and didn't realize how much food we would be getting lol. Got the nachos and a quesadilla. The quesadilla came with a side of beans which I very much appreciated! Their food is definitely fresh and authentic. We would definitely stop by again! read more

This location's food is not worth it. My guest and I walked to the location was empty. The front door lady was busy on their phone after like 10 minutes we were seated, but not greeted. Once seated we were not attended or asked if we wanted anything. So we walked out after 20 minutes of no attention or help. read more

Bad service, despite 4 services. The food was cold, soggy and tasted terrible! It was a beef tostada!! This was my first time there in the 6 years of living here. Definitely, it's my last time. I won't go back... Bad customer service and terrible food! read more

I went there last night on Wednesday Sept 24,2025, the waitress was so rude! They gave me chips and salsa to go because I ordered my food to go, they gave me a big bag of chips and the tiniest salsa, I told her I was eating it in the car and asked fir a little more and she said she'd have to charge me I already spent almost $30 if I was sitting eating they would have gave me more it doesn't make sense because I'm still a customer who supports their business. She just didn't care! It's very upsetting and I don't feel like I'll go there again read more

After a hot but wonderful adventure at the Valley of Fire, we were looking for a place to eat. We stumbled upon an unassuming Mexican restaurant, La Fonda, and had the best meal of our trip so far. Authentic Mexican food, simple but delicious. Highly recommend. read more

We love La Fonda! When I want authentic Mexican food and great chips and salsa, this is the only place in town in my opinion.

My boyfriend and I can here for dinner because we stayed across the street at Northshore Inn. There weren't any other options in the area so we were skeptical about the food but, wow, everything exceeded our expectation! Our server was Santiago! He was great and so sweet! We got the steak picado, steak fajita, extra guacamole (which we learned we didn't need to order because each of our entre also came with it), shrimp and fish taco a la cart, and a free Sundae for my birthday! The steak picado was so so delicious and flavorful! The meat was tender and the portion was huge. Shrimp and fish tacos were also good but I like the shrimp better. And the steak fajita was sizzling good! Nice clean restaurant with very comida sabrosa! I would definitely come back here again when I'm in town and would highly recommend this place!! read more

One of the only restaurants in the town of Overton was our options were limited to say the least. We were immediately seated when we arrived around 7pm and quickly greeted with water. Our server came over after 5 minutes and we advised we were ready to order since we were hungry after a long day of hiking! My mom ordered the shrimp tostada and loved it. I ordered the beef fajitas and they were so chewy I couldn't even swallow the meet. Since the server never came back to check on the food I flagged down a different server to let her know and she advised she could only give us 10% off the bill because my mom and I had already started eating the rice and beans that came as a side with my fajitas. I'm glad my mom liked her entree but mine was horrible so choose wisely. read more

The only place to eat in this town past 6 pm and right across from the inn so we ate here and weren't disappointed. It was plentiful and tasted great. Chips and salsa to start was a nice touch. My only complaint was the guacamole; the avocado stem was in it and it was tasteless: no salt or lime it seems. Kinda bland inside, too, but okay service. read more

Blink or drive too fast and you'll miss this place. It's a great little restaurant. The food is delicious. I really enjoyed it. If you're in the area and are hungry then check it out. So good to have a "home cooked" meal. read more

The food was good BUT when I ordered the burrito loco which I love, I decided to add rice and beans this time. It went from $10 for the burrito to $22.99 for adding the rice and beans. Never again . This is a sure way way to ruin a business, when I asked why so much more for rice & beans they blamed the old owners. $12.99 up charge for rice & beans is ridiculous! I'll cook at home. read more

Hard review to write because our other experiences have been good at La Fonda. We ordered 2 Senior plates. My wife ordered cheese enchilada and we asked the server to add onions to the enchilada. This was a very specific request. When the order came the onions were served in a separate plastic cup. No big deal right? The problem was when the bill came we were charged not only $0.99 for the onions but also $0.99 for cilantro. We never ordered cilantro, or received any. When I questioned the server about this charge she said she'd check and come back. She came back with another lady who stated the cilantro was put inside the single enchilada. We neither ordered or had any cilantro whatsoever in either plate. Besides, isnt cilantro a staple in Mexican food? My wife also had a margarita and I think they forgot to put in the Tequila! I finally just paid it because it just wasn't worth my time arguing. However, for a fraudulent $0.99 charge this restaurant has lost this Overton residents family's business. We won't be back! read more

Friend and I searched for places to eat after visiting Valley of Fire State Park and came across this little local Mexican Restaurant. You are welcome to come in and sit down anywhere with a menu on the table and server will come to you. They did take a while to take your order even though it was not too busy, but their server was nice. They gave chips and salsa as free appetizers while you wait for your food. I ordered the Asada burrito. Taste-wise, it was your normal steak burrito, pretty good, but then as I was halfway through my burrito, I found a bug squirming around on my plate.. I definitely had to stop eating and I let the waiter know. He took my plate, apologized and brought it to the kitchen. He came back and asked if I wanted a new burrito or to just take it off the bill. I ended up taking it off the bill only because I was worried I'd find another bug, but the burrito itself was tasty and cooked well. Also, they do have restrooms, but for the ladies, the door lock is kind of broken. It felt like anybody could easily push through the door to get in. It's a single person restroom. read more

Quiet place but very comfortable, got our food in 10ish minutes. I got the SMALL carnitas nachos and my dad chile Colorado burrito. I absolutely LOVED mine, it was super big for being small and plenty to put me in a perfect food coma. Dad loved his, saying it was a great way above average burrito. Stopped by because it was the only Mexican food nearby and my dad and I were craving some. Stopped here and we ordered to go, our waitress so extremely nice and helpful. Would most definitely stop by here if driving through. read more

Owner and server were friendly and the environment comfortable. Had a small bowl of the albondigas and an horchata (it was huge and cold ). $13. I asked for some lime and it made my soup perfect. Filling and both items were delicious. Walked my happy self back to North Shore inn. read more

I've eaten here about three times, and I've enjoyed every meal. The salsas are tasty and have decent heat levels. I recently had the chicken burrito that was the special--really delicious. Ate beef fajitas on another occasion, and that may be one of the best dishes. Beef tacos are wonderful as well. It is an extensive menu, with maybe 30 entrees, and also a separate seafood section. Surprising for where it's located. Nice service as well. Highly recommended! read more

Try making a decent tostada. When you pick up one side of it and it bends and dumps what's on top of it....it means you did a terrible job. We will stop wasting our time and money with you ever again. Thanks for nothing / nada. See ya. read more

This is the best Mexican food you are going to find in Overton. It is also the only brick and mortar ethnic food in Overton as of now. It is not the most authentic or flavorful because they obviously cater to local costumers, but it's consistently decent. Thanks for being here La Fonda! read more

We visit Valley of Fire and the convenience place to stay overnight is in Overton. This restaurant is right across the North Shore Inn where we stay overnight so we didn't think twice to come for dinner. Services were good, social distancing enforced by skipping tables, I saw the server wiped menù one by one after being touched by customers. Food came out quickly but...it had no taste at all. My husband ordered Enchiladas and I ordered combo chicken taco and cheese enchiladas. They came with rice and beans. I thought it's easy to make Mexican food tasty with all the spices they have but in this case, it seemed that la Fonda didn't use any spices. It was tasteless beyond comprehension. I was so disappointed. Btw, if you are a foodie and ran in to this tasteless food, ask them to bring you some salsas or some spicy sauce, it will help a little. read more

I just have to agree with all the other reviewers here....good authentic Mexican food, great personable service from lovely ladies and large portions of delicious food piping hot at reasonable prices. All very welcome after or before hiking out in that area, though I'm quite certain the locals are happy it's there. See my pics, loved our chicken enchiladas, chili rellenos, tamales...all of it, every bite...highly recommend, we'll be back! read more

I'm surprised that this restaurant has received so many good reviews. It could be that I am from the DC area that the Mexican food out here is a lot better but I didn't really get the hype of this place. On the positive side they gave free chips and salsa with our order. I ordered the taquito dinner and everything was pretty bland to say the least. I've never have had bad guacamole until this day. The food was hot even after taking it back to our hotel room which was nice. But for $11 for this whole meal it was not worth the price. I'm sure that they get a lot of business since it's pretty much the only restaurant in the area, but I would not return. read more

Chicken in the chicken tacos was very bad did not even have a hint of salt no seasoning whatsoever gacuamole was very disappointing like green paste shrimp tempura was mediocre like frozen from Costco fajitas were actually good if you get anything get fajitas but they really need to work on a lot of things was also very overpriced 64 dollars for appetizer and two meals read more

Thanks for the entertainment ! Food is OK... service is laughable! Called to ask if reservations were required. They didn't ask my name until I said, "Do you need a name?" and when we got there no table was ready. Waiter who took our order took his mask down to talk which defeats the entire purpose of masking. We don't need to see your nose ring during Covid, dude. Asked if we could get a pitcher of margaritas and the waiter said "I can't serve them because I'm underage"..... mmmmm sooooo you have margaritas ....but we won't be getting any ? ?! Food comes. They set it down and walk away. No set ups..... asked one person..... then another ..... finally gets the utensils. We overheard staff referring to another as a bitch and saying " I don't care if I get fired, do you?". When we mentioned that we were scared to ask for help from one server because he just seemed annoyed, the one we spoke to said " Well... we're really busy...." mmmmm hello! It's Covid and you are at 50% capacity..... Asked for the bill twice and were told to wait because this other table has been waiting a long time .... it took us ten mi items to get a freaking fork! Can't wait to return to find out the next episode of The LAFonda telenovella! read more

This is a nice, authentic joint in Overton. We stayed the night across the street, so it was nice to just walked over. Perfect pit stop for dinner! The chips and salsa were so good!

Where do I start... out the handful of times that I have visited this business I have been disappointed on numerous occasions and not because of the taste of the food. The 1st time I was disappointed was when I ordered my order to go and it was supposed to be ready in 15 minutes. I handled some business and showed up 25 minutes after Just to find out that they had not even started my food because I haven't paid for it I sat in the restaurant for another 20 minutes just to get my food I was not happy. This happened again on a separate occasion but at least I did not have to wait 25 minutes I literally sat there for 5 minutes but the point is I order ahead and show up a little bit late so I know it's ready. Yet another time that is not ready. On a separate but last location I go there to feed my wife on another to go order and I spent $9 on my wife's meal which is supposedly comes with 4 meatballs. 4 meat balls is the limit. Which in my opinion is already bare minimum. When I got home I found half a cup of stew and 3 meatballs inside. Finally I could not let this be unhurd so I called the business and they said that I can come back and pick up that extra Meatball.... Seriously I have to come in like a poor orphan and beg for one meatball because you can't get it right the 1st time. 9 freaking dollars for a soup. To top it off the manager started talking about how she could not get decent help. Lady that is not my problem. You should change your business name from LA Fonda To La Gonda because I don't see this business here very much longer. I am very surprised they are not behind on rent with as much cutbacks at they are doing. One Mexican restaurant in town and I am very disappointed. read more

We were greeted by the owner and immediately seated. The place was kinda a hole in the wall and the food was fantastic.

We were traveling through Overton headed to Valley of Fire. Stopped for lunch. Was not impressed. Hubby had Colorado Burrito and said it was blah. I had the Asada burrito and it also had no flavor. I guess we are used to more zip in our burritos! read more
