Editorial Review for La Fonda Latina – by Citysearch Editors
The Scene
La Fonda's five intown restaurants evoke a carnival mood with brightly painted furniture and walls. Spanish tunes are suitably bouncy and loud, but you needn't shout to be heard. At the Ponce location, industrial chic meets tilt-a-whirl: Brushed aluminum tables dot the patio, while inside the staff bustles around a room the color of circus peanuts, decorated with turquoise shutters and framed Diego Rivera posters.
The Food
Toned-down American takes on popular Mexican, Latin American and Caribbean dishes are what's on the table at these reliable intown cantinas. Don't miss the sopa de pollo, a bracing soup loaded with white-meat chicken, yellow rice and a dice of green onions, jalapenos and tomatoes. Use that lime wedge to add some tang. The arroz con pollo, a moist half-chicken spiked with paprika, comes nestled in yellow rice with onions and peppers. It pairs nicely with a side of smoky black beans. Fresh cilantro gives the fire-engine red salsa a nice kick, but the chunky guacamole is under spiced.

We ordered the vegetable skewers and veggie burrito. Both excellent, very well seasoned and cooked crispy. We got a mojito pitcher, which was very sweet but savory, especially for the price. The service was decent, but it seemed as though the server absolutely hated his life. The rooftop patio was very cool, and the prices were very cheap! I would definitely go back. Although the service wasn't exactly good, I've had much worse service. The food and atmosphere is worth it for me.
Pros: great quality at a good price
Cons: grumpy servers

I eat there at least 6 times a week... The greasy steak quesadilla is to die for... Chips are okay, salsa is good.
