The Food – A meal here is like a fiesta for the taste buds. Begin with the warm, extra-crispy tortilla chips that are impossible to resist, especially when coupled with the restaurant's signature salsa and gooey cheese dip. The best bet for a satisfying meal is to go the combo route: rice and refried beans paired with one to three items of your choice from the signature dishes. Best picks include the chicken chimichanga and the beef soft taco. If you're really hungry and like your supper spicy, try the chiles rellenos platter. – – The Scene – Though it's nestled…

Mediocre at best, very overrated
by poormanugly
I don't want to be condescending, but anyone that could give this place 5 stars has never had real mexican food, because this definitely is not it. The soft tacos come on a flour tortilla, and the enchiladas don't have any sauce! If you want to try a sauce-less enchilada, this is the place, but I wouldn't recommend it. To add insult to injury, I ordered take-out and asked for some chips and salsa, and they charged me $4.00 for a 16 oz container! I just wanted some chips and salsa with my sauce-less enchilada, and it increased the price of my lunch by 50%. There are many better mexican restaurants in this area.
- Pros: It's not horrible
- Cons: Food quality and selection

Fabulous
by lesliemiller320
This place is soooo good! We eat there as much as possible and the food is not expensive at all considering how much food you get. The service is great and we very rarely have to wait on a place to sit. You should try it if you like mexican food!
The Details on La Fuente
Multi-Purpose Cheese:
For an added treat, save some of the cheese dip from your chips to drizzle on your main course. The spicy Monterey Jack flavor complements the entrees well.
Eyes on the Size:
Don't think that the one-item combo platter won't be enough—the portions are generous. Go for the two-item choice if you're very hungry, but save the triple for lumberjacks and teenage boys.
