Las Fontanas on Walnut

Nice local Mexican restaurant with an authentic feel. From the beautiful tile flooring to the tastefully done decor, this family friendly place has much to offer. The menu has a lot to choose from, but I went there for fajitas and I was not disappointed. Lots of chicken and shrimp with plenty of rice, beans, and choice of two sides. Came out hot and sizzling. Friends had street tacos that were also great. Nice margaritas and flan to finish it off. We'll be back!

Service is so bad here, the food just ain't worth it. Manager is even less professional than the hostess, and that's saying a lot. I'm pretty sure I just got robbed also, because they didn't deliver all of my order then told me to take it up with the delivery driver (that they sent, I ordered from their website) and I have no path to complain for a refund. Just awful.

The chicken flautas are bussin as the kids sayA half and half margarita is the drink of choice. IYKYK. The service here is always fantastic. It's a good size building and I have never felt cramped. Love this place

Locally owned with an authentic, original tex-mex menu. Location is nice as well. Small and cozy.

Ok....so love that this is a bit of a hidden gem. Luckily with great reviews from Yelp, places like Las Fontanas don't stay hidden. Originally from Texas, I definitely miss Tex-Mex. Other states can try as hard as they may and they taste good but nothing is like home. I love the bright colors and the art work on the walls. Very cute and authentic fiesta looking establishment. Our party of three walked into the place around 6pm on a Sunday. Nobody was waiting. There was not much room to wait indoor and it was really warm and uncomfortable outside. They did tell us it would be a 10-15 minute wait. Luckily, about 3 minutes later the hostess said "Never mind we have a seat for you." That was really good as I may be from Texas but I don't live here anymore and I would seriously melt if I have yo wait 15 minutes outside in that heat and humidity. Whoa...even talking about the heat got me excited about their yummy happy hour for Sunday! I don't know what it is but Texas has the best food and margaritas. Maybe it's the special water that makes up the ice or maybe the humidity attributes to that icy cold fresh lime tasting margarita cooling me off and making me smile. It could be the happy hour price also! My happy hour house margarita was $3.99!!! Did you know you can't even get a Torchy's Taco that cheap! I mean color me impressed with the happy hour prices and quality!!! My husband got the happy hour (which is all day Sunday) street tacos. He could chose from a variety but he stuck with carne Asada. I mean wow!!!! 5 street tacos for $9.99!!! That's unheard of where I live. Shoot! You really can't find deals like that in central Texas either. They had a great amount of tender, great tasting steak and topped with cilantro, onions, and queso fresco. They serve them with a green delicious and addicting salsa. It was so yum! Chips and salsa were great but we did really prefer the green salsa. We also ordered the queso. For our table of 3, we got a medium size. It was a maybe even a little too large for our table but since we don't get this quality queso everyday, we were determined to knock it out. The queso comes with these fried like tortillas. They are kind of puffy, a bit crispy and flaky, and a bit soft. They were interesting. It was like nothing I've had before but for the most part, we stuck to the traditional tortilla chips with our queso. As if you haven't noticed by now, I have so much passion for great food! My teen got the Stuffed Avocado Platter. His plate came out like a work of art. It was beautifully plated. Half an avocado stuff with steak and cheese, battered and deep fried! Delish! He loved his street taco also. The crispy stuffed tostadas was a bit different for us and kind of the same texture as the chips that accompanied the queso. We were not really excited about it. It was okay. Now for the star of the dinner!!!! Not all places are equal when they make this dish and I hate to be disappointed as it is one of my absolute favorites! The Sizzling Shrimp Amarrados was insanely good! Oh my! I didn't even pay attention to my rice and beans. I am sure they would have been delicious but the gulf coast shrimp is amazing! Then you put a fresh jalapeño slice, cheese, and wrap it in bacon and grill it! Oh my!!! My mouth waters and I want to book a flight back right now! Dang. Then....I mean it was already enough but then they go and give you a side of butter wine sauce! I mean...I'm done! I'm cooked. I could eat this for the rest of my life! Thank you so much for not disappointing! The prices were super reasonable. Awesome. You had me at happy hour margaritas but you just kept pushing that food envelope to make me crave you more and more! Wonderful job. Keep up the amazing work. Much love from Las Vegas!

We love Las Fontanas for happy hour, but their lunch specials are great too. Today I had the street taco lunch special, that comes with charro beans and rice (though I gave my rice to my husband). The chicken in the tacos is tender and flavorful. I love to green diablo sauce that comes with them. The charro beans are full of bacon and yummy spices. My husband had the quesadilla lunch special, which comes with refried beans and rice (though he opted for no beans). The steak was tender and the quesadilla was full and cheesy.

Fantastic food. Awsome service. Great ambiance I was soooooo pleased with the food and service. Gabby was fantastic thank u sooooi much.

Food was great will definitely recommend the street tacos for first timers also the salsa is hot and fresh

We ordered for pick up. It was delicious and still hot when we ate it. Hubby had chimichanga, which was huge. I had tacos with beef, chicken and shrimp. Everything was delicious.

Food is okay, but front host staff could use improvement. If the online list doesn't join the in house waitlist, why not just honor the spot the system gives instead of moving someone to the back after they've waited 30+ minutes? Unfortunate mismanagement. Don't join wait online, you'll be moved back to the end of line without any consideration.
