LA FONDA DE LOS CARNALITOS

Authentic Mexico City cuisine with handmade tortillas pressed fresh daily and a premium tequila and mezcal bar.

La Fonda de Los Carnalitos offers a Mexican menu that makes room for a full meal of traditional dishes. At its Veterans Boulevard location in Redwood City, pozole, enmoladas, chicken enchiladas verdes, and arrachera give diners several distinct starting points. We like that these dishes sit alongside gorditas and tacos, creating a selection with different textures, sauces, and levels of richness. The restaurant grew from the Los Carnalitos mobile restaurant founded by brothers Luis and Alfredo Santos, who come from the state of Mexico. That connection gives the business a story grounded in the people behind it. The menu includes separate chicken, beef, pork, and vegetarian selections, making it easier to plan an order around different preferences. La Fonda is appealing for diners who want to explore Mexican cooking through more than one familiar format.
