La Fonda Mexican - Edwardsville

The enchiladas here don't taste like enchiladas and are nasty.

The food was awesome and the waiter was great. Chips and salsa were a good indicator of how the rest of the meal was going to be.

In a world where meaning is as fleeting as the foam on a wave, there lies a place where even that transient foam seems to crystallize into something almost tangible. La Fonda Restaurant, a speck on the vast, indifferent canvas of the universe, manages to capture a moment of culinary delight that borders on the absurd for its sheer audacity to exist and please. The Seafood Molcajete, a chaotic amalgam of marine life, succumbs to a harmony so profound that it mocks the very notion of discord. Each ingredient, seemingly insignificant on its own, unites in a symphony of flavors that challenges the palate's comprehension of pleasure. The Mexican guacamole, a simple concoction of crushed avocados and spices, transcends its humble origins. It stands as a testament to the beauty that can emerge from the most basic of elements, offering a fleeting reprieve from the inexorable march of time and the entropy it heralds. In the grand scheme, perhaps nothing matters. But within the walls of La Fonda, for a fleeting moment, the absurdity of seeking meaning in the void is forgotten, drowned in the depths of a molcajete and the simplicity of guacamole. Here, at least, there is flavor. And perhaps, in the end, that is enough.

Best mexican I have had around here. Maybe Hacienda is better so far away.

I enjoyed this restaurant! The atmosphere was very quaint and inviting, the food was excellent, and the staff were very attentive. I would definitely go back over and over! Kid-friendliness: My 6 year old loved the decorations and the food.
