These takeout meals are thoughtfully designed to bring the festive spirit of La Fonda’s kitchen into your home.

No meal here is complete without a dip into their indulgent desserts. The Whole Sweet Potato Cheesecake and Praline Housemade Mexican Candy with candied pecans and caramel provide a perfect balance of sweetness and texture, while the Vanilla Flan and Churros with Cajeta and Honey deliver classic Mexican comfort with each bite. Patrons often highlight the rich, warm chocolate cake crowned with chocolate drizzle, pecans, and cinnamon-infused vanilla bean ice cream as a divine finale.

La Fonda’s bar is equally impressive, offering a curated selection of cocktails to complement every dish.
