I've been eating here for more than 40 years. I have had some amazing meals here, but have to say the quality and flavor has steadily declined over the years. This was a once a month stop and has become closer to once a year. The lunch specials are priced well and the portion is in line for what you pay. But unlike the 90's and 2000's, nothing has zip or kick. They need to bring back seasoning and serving plates with mitts. If you are handling my plate with your bare hand, I already know my food isn't hot enough. I like my cheese to bubble and stretch and I also like to blow on my food because you took care to serve it as hot as possible. Considering 230 reviews for a place that has been in business for probably 50 years, clearly someone reset the review count. I've also noticed the last couple years, none of the faces are familiar, so I assume ownership has changed. That said, services is always friendly, but the food is boring and bland and not reflective of Mexico. This place was once 5 star, and they could do it again, if you put the spirit of Mexico back in the kitchen. read more

Our servers were attentive and kind. My burrito was huge!! The portions are well worth the money and the carne asada was soo tender, my sister and I basked in the moment of amazing flavor. Can't wait to come back read more

We took friends to have dinner on a Taco Tuesday (pricing lower) which most Mexican restaurants participate in only to find out this particular restaurant does not participate in a Taco Tuesday Ambience was nice. We liked the decor. The service was mediocre didn't get the usual when you go to a restaurant. Do you need any more water? Do you need another drink? So experience not good not bad but mediocre it's in the neighborhood so can't say we won't ever return again You just won't be on a "Tuesday" well we will be expecting a lower price to menu read more

First time customers. Friend recommended it to us. Very friendly staff, great selection of food and fast service. Typical Mexican restaurant decor but it was clean and the bathrooms were clean. Food came out fast and hot and all was correct! read more

I love this restaurant! We used to eat here all the time when I was a kid. And thank goodness it is just as good as I remember! The staff is super friendly as usual. I ordered the chicken burrito and it was sooo delicious, tender shredded chicken and sooo cheesy. Perfection! My husband got the chile relleno and ground beef burrito combo. He loved it. My kids ordered the Nachos La Fuente and the Burrito De Asada, both really good. The portions here are huge! This restaurant is huge part of my childhood and I will always eat here when I'm in town! read more

La Fuente - Supper beef burrito - Mexican Near Me - Renton, Washington

Ordered through Door Dash. As good measure and common sense, if I pay almost $30, use your small tiny brains, and provide utensils and a napkin? How hard is that? Also, I actually ORDERED utensils and still did not get them! How tf am I supposed to eat a chimichanga, an enchilada, beans and rice with no utensils?! Slow mfs, do better. Also, Not a fan of the foil. The entire dish tasted like foil. Had I received my utensils, would have rated a 4, a 5 with different packaging. read more

Nah. This is a large place that seems to be larger skating on past laurels. Food was okay at best. My chile relleno was the inside out type, and it was super heavy on the cheese. Other stuff was equally just okay. And their payment system was down because their internet was down. Huh? Use a hotspot while you wait for a fix. Won't return. There are much better Mexican and Mexican-American restaurants in the region. read more

I can't believe I have never reviewed this La Fuente. Over the last 30 years I've probably been there 30 times. I'm pretty sure it's a "sister" restaurant to the one in Fairwood. This one is the prettier sister. On this visit my friend and I both got lunch combos. I ordered a beef tostada & chicken enchilada. Both were delicious. I thought I was going to clean my plate but couldn't quite finish my enchilada and beans & rice. Happily enjoyed them as leftovers for lunch the next day. My friend ordered 2 cheese enchiladas. She took one bite and realized they were chicken. Not one to complain or waste food she was going to just eat them when our waiter arrived with her cheese enchiladas realizing there had been a mistake. Our water glasses were kept filled and we were offered refills on chips & salsa. It was quite cold inside when we arrived as the first lunch guests of the day. In the ladies room the first bathroom stall you come to is child size. Very low to the floor. Use the handicap stall unless you like sitting on very low toilets. read more

Consistent excellence, great portion. Authentic taste. I like the chips before the meal, can't stop eating it.

My favorite lunch place for Mexican food. Order the chicken super burrito. Everything is very fresh. Chips and salsa, too! All for under $12! Sangria is also delicious! Family owned and operated. Super nice people. We are so lucky to have found this place! read more

This is my most favorite place to eat. Staffing is always friendly. The food is great. I recommend this place highly.

Holy molé! This place is epic. The Nachos La Fuente was one of the best plates of nachos I've ever had. Add chicken and honestly, the small plate is plenty for 3-4 people as an appetizer. I can't even imagine what the large plate is like. The chicken molé was on point and the Enchiladas Sunrise was delicious. Enchiladas with eggs on top? Yes please! Service was quick and friendly. Restaurant was clean and on-brand. A really solid choice for good Mexican food. read more

**COVID-19 Lockdown Edition** I have never been to La Fuente before. In truth I never heard about it. My friend and I were hungry and ordered from La Fuente had his suggestion since he had gone there before. We opted to use Uber Eats as our conveyor of delicious food and placed our order. For some reason the order noted that it was done by the time our delivery driver was in the parking lot but then the restaurant asked for additional time. Our delivery driver was not sure why as she said that the food was ready when she got there so she didn't know why they just didn't hand it to her and send her on her way. That really was the only hiccup. Our food arrived nicely packaged and still quite warm. I had ordered a Mexican pizza which was a flour shell topped with beans, cheese, guac, sour cream, and ground beef. It was very good! It was perfectly balanced, great flavor, and just overly delightful. I also ordered churros as churros are one of the few desserts my friend and I can both eat and they were amazing! Light, crisp but doughy in the inside with the perfect amount of cinnamon and sugar I would have eaten them all and left none for my friend in lockdown with me. He ordered a burrito which was longer than my forearm and thicker. It was amazing! I was very happy with the experience! read more

I've been going here for years. Food is always good and servers are always friendly. The ambience is comfortable but can get noisy at times.

The colorado burrito and the rice was good. Taquitos were okay. We also got flan (not pictured) and it was sour-tasting. read more

I've been going to La Fuente for 20+ years. Things took a dip after covid, but in the last 6 months, it's back to being super delicious with the same great servers/service! HIGHLY recommend. My favorite is the Burrito De Asada!! read more

Three of us ordered dinner and barely had 2 bites. No flavor or spice in anything. Served lukewarm. Tastes like it came out of a can. Random microwave meal would have been better. So many great Mexican places nearby it's just ludicrous they'd serve this. Stay away. read more

Excellent Cadillac Margaritas and happy hour menu. $10 enchilada with rice and beans. Good deal and good food. I have been coming in off and on for 20+ years. The decor looks about the same, in definite need of a remodel. read more

I was stuck between giving La Fuente 4 or 5 stars, but I honestly had a great experience so why not go all out? My boyfriend works up the road from here so we went to lunch together one day last week. There were quite a few people dining in for lunch, and it was clear everyone worked nearby (based on their uniforms and such). We were helped pretty quickly and had drinks right away. I ended up ordering the Burrito Asada and my boyfriend got the enchiladas. The Burrito Asada was freakin' MASSIVE. I'm not even exaggerating when I say this thing was bigger than my forearm. Even with me being pregnant it was impossible to eat all of it. It was sooo delicious though! Their guac is amazing too - it may even be better than Chipotle's. The burrito also came with a side of rice and beans. For the both of us, the bill came to a total of $22. Pretty cheap for how much food we got! I'll definitely be back in the near future - I've been craving Mexican food a lot! read more

Service wise..we ordered magarita on the work no salt... came with salt... fajita with corn tortilla but came flour tortilla.. then we asked for more napkins and when he brought the napkins my wife open the utensil n it was a filthy fork and the server saw it and he took it away very fast without sayin anything... Food: ordered one taco... uh... it was a hard taco with ground. Beef.... Just like taco bell for $4.50.... Fajita- it was ok... Cheese quesadilla.. it was just ched cheese melted on flour tortilla.. it wasnt even mexican cheese.... Sauces on the table... so old inside was all crusted... Magarita... so bad wife couldnt drink it n asked for a beer.. Wife said you know whats the best in this restaurant? I said beer... she laughed... sigh What a disappointment... i thought it would be a authentic mexican restaurant but it was simply bad... n dirty... i was scared if i got a food poison.. if owner read this please dm me... bc i dont to help small business n not hurt their business.. read more

Last weekend we had a wonderful dinning experience here. It's a clean environment. Family friendly. Staff was incredibly. The staff that greeted us had a smile and was friendly. The rest of the staff were the same. We were served hot fresh chips and fresh salsa. Neither the chips or salsa were empty before replaced. Our drinks were also replaced before they were empty. The food came quickly, hot hot hot and so incredibly yummy! Huge portions. Prices were fair! I can't wait to go back!! New favorite place in town! read more

A great neighborhood restaurant! Whenever I'm craving good, consistent food I can count on La Fuente. I can't recall ever leaving dissatisfied or hungry. We dined early Saturday evening and the restaurant was bustling with tables; as we sat customers were still flowing in steadily. Quickly seated and given warm tortilla chips and salsa as we waited, major win when given at any Mexican restaurant. Their tostadas, tacos and enchiladas are the main things I've tried. The enchiladas (beef/chicken) are one of my favorites and also my boyfriend, he gets it every time we go. Blended margaritas here are also super tasty! read more

This is my go to Mexican restaurant close to home. There's another La Fuente close by but this one is superior by leaps and bounds! Service is very attentive, food is usually amazing, and they're not stingy on the chips and salsa. Margaritas are strong too, and come in 2 sizes! My favorite things are the Muy Especial, Carne Asada, Tortilla Soup, and Tacos Al Carbon. read more

I eat here a lot and will eat here again but after the scam I will NEVER drink here. Came in for lunch and the special was a beer and shot of teq. For $9.00 This was MAYBE a ounce MAYBE. This shot glass should be in a Carnival as a side show , it's a short and thick glass, I've never seen anything like it. Oh chips and salsa are great, service great, and the burrito was as well. read more

We had been on the road all day and were just needing some food. Although this was out of the way it has an ok star rating. Buuut Shouldn't have went here I should've known since it was sooo far out of the way it wasn't worth it. Very very salty. My daughter and I had the espresso burrito and arroz con poilo both of which were just way to salty. Pretty much inedible. Literally I had like 3 bites and just couldn't eat anymore of it. The only saving grace is the salsa is good and the service isn't bad. Beans do not come with the meal and tortillas are not homemade either. I wanted to like this place but unfortunately it's a pass for me. read more

Mexican food is a dime a dozen. Well this place is 100 over 12. The staff is unbeatable. The chips and salsa are delicious. The food arrived quickly. The drinks were strong. And most importantly, the Carne asada tacos were INSANE. I'll be coming back regularly. read more

La Fuente's Burrito de Asada is probably one of my favorite asada burritos. It is HUGE btw, it's bigger than my forearm. Every time that I've gone here my husband and I have amazing service! They've given my husband a free shot or only charge him a single for a double many times. I can only speak for the burrito because that's all that I've had here, and every time I want to try something new I always end up getting the same thing, lol. read more

Solid spot for good Mexican food. There's also very little turnover, so you see the same welcoming faces at each visit.

When I have a craving for Mexican food, this is the place I go to. I enjoy supporting this mom and pop shop over the big chains. The place has older decor, but the food is good! The service is good too. For the price that you pay, you get a lot of food too. I always have a to-go bag. The menu has almost too many options, so you're bound to find something you like on it. Right after you sit down, they bring over warm tortilla chips and salsa. It's hard to not fill up on these because it's so good especially if you like your salsa spicy. read more

This place is $hit under new ownership. Long-time customer they made very clear they do t want back. I called ahead, and asked if they had internet so I could check my email during power outage. They said yes. When I got there I said I wanted to place an order to go and use a booth with an outlet while I waited. The waitress hostess tried ti sit me at a booth but some guy over rode her and told me to sit by bathrooms with chord plugged into wall where people could trip. I told him I was ready to order then he ignored me and took three other parties' orders. While I was waiting a teenage girl tripped on the chord. It wasn't more than half an inch above the ground so it should have been easy to kiss but if she's not expecting it... I get it. My laptop hit the ground and I left. I still don't know why I was sat there with open booths and I don't know why he ignored me after I flagged him down to order. All I know is this place sucks now and I won't go back after several years. read more
