La Fonda

This was recommended by our car dealer sales person. It is a simple Mexican dinner vibe. But the menu on the wall is extensive. You order at the counter and they bring you food. The tacos came super fast. Typical, authentic street tacos, really hit the spot for 2 hungry guys. Menudo came next, it is what we came here for. The trimmings are generous and the soup was delicious. The menudo was soft, well seasoned. Extremely satisfied. Last thing to arrive was the oysters. Fresh delicious oysters topped with generous amount of lime and cucumber. I'm overall quite impressed with the place and it is highly recommended.

Very poor tasting food. Menudo was a 6/10 and Enchiladas, rice, beans was a 4/10. Service & atmosphere was fine. Plenty of other places are much better.

Best menudo I've had. It has pigs feet, a lot of tripe and a little hominy, the way I like it. The broth was perfect. The corn tortillas were large, fresh and "homemade". Oregano and chile flakes are at the table. A bag of chopped white onions and a tiny amount of cilantro was provided. La Fonda is my go-to for Mexican food.The style is a walk-up counter, you place your order and seat yourself. They'll bring the food out to you. They have a barbacoa wet burrito is to die for it's my top favorite items to order when I come here.Not to mention Maria, and the rest of the staff is absolutely fantastic and the service is amazing definitely is worth it

Good food. Decent prices. Not bad at all. Go try this little hidden gem of a Mexican restaurant. I recommend the shrimp tacos

Burrito was good! Not the absolute best Machaca I've ever had but def not the worst. I don't think they put beans in the burrito which is a must have for me but it was still good and it did the trick. I got the pico de gallo salsa as well as the red salsa.

Ok, this place has me pretty torn. If you are a picky eater that orders your items with alterations then you should go in with the expectation that: 1. They will very likely get your order wrong 2. They will not apologize for getting your order wrong or admit any fault 3. Will make you pay to fix your order, even if the fault was theirs. The food is delicious and the price is good. The service is pretty crappy though and they can be downright rude. It's a small place located near the auto mall so if you are in the area and want something fast, convenient, with good flavor and don't care if your order is a little messed up or if you get pretty lousy service than this is the place.

Delicious and affordable. Big portions and great service. Definitely a gem in Bakersfield

This is a great little spot for the area it's in. The auto mall. You order and pay then find a table and they bring you your food. My husband ordered a torta with fries, and he said it was good. I ordered an enchilada with red sauce and taco rice and beans. I asked for chips and salsa, so I don't know if they were free or I paid for them. They weren't bad, but they give you a really small salsa. Like 2oz. They also give you two bottles, one with green sauce and one red. The food was just okay along with the service.

It smells absolutely delicious but over all was bot impressed. Pretty packed at lunch time though so be sure to order over the phone if allowed

Today food was amazing, environment was amazing until I went to the restroom and while I was waiting in the restroom one of the cooks flushed and walked out of the restroom without washing her hands!! I then proceeded to see her in the kitchen right after her not washing her hands which is super gross.
