Classic!! The food here is way cheaper than that new superior and taste way better! I love the Queso, it is just to die for! As well as the chicken tacos!

We were looking for a little Mexican night and stopped in. The steak fajitas might've been the best flavor I have ever had. The rabbit appetizer was awesome and definitely don't leave their margaritas.

Lafonda is a Lafayette classic. I mistook it for a restaurant owned by Nola's famous personal injury attorney Juan Lafonta, Juan Lafonts, Juan Lafonta. However, it is not. It is spelled differently and has been around for a long time. What Lafonda is..... This place has a lot of history, super strong margaritas, and solid food. The ambiance is also great and I always enjoy historic places. Get the Carne Asada. While thin, this steak was excellent. I know many people poo-poo spots like this, but they miss the point. Even if the food was mid (it wasn't), the ambiance, staff, and history made it a place that is exactly the kind of spot I enjoy. What Lafonda is not...... Do not go there expecting fine dining or knock your socks off food. Pro tip: There are no reservations so walk in, give your name, and wait in the bar. Don't drink more than two margaritas or you will likely be too drunk to enjoy yourself.

In town for an appointment and texted a buddy for lunch recommendations. He recommended we go here, especially for the margaritas, lol! We ended up having 3 a piece! I browsed the menu online to figure out what might appeal to us and some of the items intrigued me being predominantly a Mexican style cuisine. Anyways, I ended up ordering a ribeye steak on our fantastic server, Kareem's recommendation! I kept it authentic by adding a side order of churro beans, lol. The complementary chips and salsa were delicious with probably the best salsa ever with the spiciness I love. It also came with a refried bean dip as well, which I would've enjoyed more if it came out warmer. The fried potatoes that came along with the steak were the perfect accompaniment to a perfectly grilled ribeye! Oh by the way, please order the "Ronnie Margarita"! The drink is named after one of their long time employee who's been there since the 60's. The vibe of the restaurant's ambiance is old school steakhouse with a Tex/Mex style tiling in our dining area. A must do when you're in Lafayette. Almost forgot, it was packed at lunch on a Tuesday with a big crowd at the bar.

My favorite thing to order is the tuna steak. I order it rare and it is the best tuna steak I have ever had.
