SERVICE CHARGE, cold, horrible

SERVICE CHARGE on the bill! Three of us dined with a bill of about $52, and then we noticed the $7 SERVICE CHARGE which we were told was for the "bus boys."!!! The steak tacos were like shards of overcooked meat, which tasted like days old meat and bland. The La Fuente Special was supposed to come with guacamole, instead we were charged $2.10. $2 each for soda. Chairs were like cafeteria chairs, which didn't seem to fit for the high prices. I will miss the shrimp soup. Go to a better, more reasonable place without a service charge like Botanas, Swayz, Cempazuchi, Hector's, El Fuego, etc.

Never a bad experience

I frequent La Fuente about once every other month and the food is always good and the service fair. I know they get swamped so I just tolerate it. As a vegetarian I love to go there because their veggie tacos with black beans and yellow rice are great - no animal fat! I still think they are one of the most reasonably priced for the quality.

More than once, I got dirty looks from the waitstaff... here's WHY...

So.. I'm vegan. I love La Fuente for their chips n salsa and rice and beans. That's about all I can eat there, so I usually just order "rice and beans."



I've been going there a lot lately and I've consistently gotten dirty looks from the waiter when they ask what I want and I reply with "rice and beans." They might think I'm being cheap, but I'm just VEGAN!

Horrible service

If you try to get a bite ot eat here or drink, expect to wait a long time. And when u get the bills, check it over a few times becz this place is notorious for adding gratuity, and other extras on the bill. This has happened numerous times when my colleagues and I dine there, so that is why we donnot go there anymore.
