Featured Destilado • Dobel 50 Cristalino Extra Añejo
Crystal clear in the glass, this extra añejo carries the soul of long aging – silky layers of caramelized agave and toasted oak with a refined, lingering finish.

What people say
Mexican restaurants are known for their vibrant flavors, colorful presentations, and warm hospitality. La Fonda On Main in San Antonio is no exception to this rule. This Mexican restaurant has a long and fascinating history that dates back to the 1930s when two resourceful sisters opened a Mexican food-to-go shop on Main Avenue. Despite the Great Depression, their business prospered, and they soon converted a house across the street into a full-service restaurant that formally opened in 1932.
Today, La Fonda On Main is one of the most popular dining spots in San Antonio, attracting locals and tourists alike with its delicious Tex-Mex cuisine and charming ambiance. The staff and patrons of La Fonda fondly recall old times, memorable restaurant highlights, and the hard-working ladies who made it all possible. It's fascinating to hear how many famous people have dined at La Fonda over the years, including Generals Eisenhower, MacArthur, and Hill during World War II. Even American presidents Franklin Roosevelt and Lyndon Johnson enjoyed La Fonda's fare.
But what really sets La Fonda On Main apart from other Mexican restaurants is its commitment to quality ingredients and authentic recipes. From sizzling fajitas to savory enchiladas to refreshing margaritas, every dish at La Fonda is made with care and attention to detail. And with its cozy atmosphere, friendly service, and rich history, La Fonda On Main is more than just a restaurant - it's an experience that you won't soon forget.
