La Fonda de Don Martin

The best breakfast tacos I’ve had! Their homemade flour tortillas are delicious! I make it a priority to go to La Fonda at least once during my visit to Laredo. Makes the trip down worth it. Thank you Chef Eddie!

Just arrived in town to visit parents, picked this place based on Unilocal reviews. Highly disappointing food and horrible service. All plates come out at same time. One platter eggs were not made to request, brought to server attention. Nothing done to correct it. Requested corn tortillas and server took away flour ones, only for him to return with cold FLOUR ones again! He disappeared again. 2 out of 3 of us were over half done with meals before correct tortillas brought and the butter/​syrup for pancakes was even brought out. Who brings a pancake platter out without butter & syrup!!! At one point, my empty dish was taken away & no refill on beverages offered. Next time server came around, only one of 3 of us offered refill.
Food: I’ve had better chillaquiles in Chicago at American brunch places.
Poor service. Lousy food. Avoid.

The best chilaquiles with chorizo sauce in town love them. Great staff and great food.

Every time I come to Laredo I eat here 1 – 2 times. There’s nothing I have eaten that is not delicious.
Las Albóndigas in particular are on of the best dishes.

The food took a long time to come out. Everything was decent, nothing special. The sides (rice, potatoes, beans) was also very average compared to other places around Laredo. Maybe they were having an off day because all the other reviews has praised this place so much.

I cannot say enough about our experience here. First the food was incredible and it was n surpassed by the service. Eduardo, the manager was attentive and super friendly and our waitress Lillian… well, I wanted to take her home. To top it all the tortillas were so delicious I wanted to take some home and THEY MADE THEM FOR ME FROM SCRATCH!!!
two dozen amazing tortillas that I am clutching to my heart even as I type. All I can say is Go, GO, GO!!! As for me… like The terminator says «I’LL BE BACK»

My favorite in Laredo for Mexican food. I always order the Tampiquena plate. It comes with a generous serving of tender fajitas instead of the usual thin and tough steak served at most restaurants. The portions are generous, almost too much for one meal. Tortillas are made in front of you, and they are delicious.
Service is excellent as well.

Most delicious Mexican food ever! Love the beans they serve with tortilla chips as a free appetizer! The fajita is amazing!!! Also, the freshly squeezed lemonade is great! Very affordable and great service! You feel a very warming and peaceful ambience! Great for everybody!!!

THE best homemade biscuits I have ever had!

WOW! This is the best brunch place in Laredo! First off, free chips + bean dip… SO GOOD! Literally, just order anything and you’ll be happy.
My waiter didn’t speak English, but they were very helpful none the less. A very happy find.

Everything we’ve had from here is excellent! Fresh tortillas and delicious freshly squeezed orange juice makes for a lovely breakfast (or brunch or lunch).

My husband and I headed to this restaurant on the recommendation of a native Laredoan. After getting past the fact that the atmosphere is not very romantic or modern, we ordered a bowl of guacamole and chips to start off our meal. We were delighted when the guac arrived (a huge bowl for $ 5!) with a side of re-​fried beans topped with queso fresco. Both were absolutely delicious. The salsa they served on the side was interesting and sweet — more like a southern chow chow than your typical salsa. For his entrée, my hubbie order fajita tacos and I ordered the Pollo en Mole. My husband claims he ate all three tacos almost against his will because they were just so good! I can say the same for my Pollo en Mole. The sauce was perfect and the same as what I’ve had in the homes of those who cook authentic Mexican cuisine. We both ate until we were stuffed and left very happy. The prices were good — only $ 8 — $ 10 per entrée so it made the lack of ambiance more understandable.
Note: The entire menu is in Spanish so either be prepared to whip out your translator app or bring someone who can speak the language. Or, like me, try to use it as a learning opportunity.
Best Mexican food we’ve had since moving to Laredo — we will be going back!
