La Fonda de San Mateo

Experience happiness through their signature warm tortillas and authentic Mexican cuisine.

Serving San Mateo since 1976, La Fonda occupies a building constructed as a residence in the 1920s that later became Casa Vieja before taking its current name. The kitchen focuses on traditional Mexican food, and the restaurant describes itself as keeping the tradition of a fonda, the Spanish term for a small inn. Its tagline is that happiness is a warm tortilla.
