- LA Landmark
La Fonda opened in 1969 by Natividad "Nati" Cano to establish a home for his group Los Camperos, La Fonda made history for being the first restaurant in the country to fuse live mariachi entertainment along with a complete dining experience. Sadly, at the end of October 2007, La Fonda de Los Camperos closed its doors, presumably forever. Fortunately for us all, Manuel Meza who is one of the partners who own the building, decided that this icon of Mexican culture and unpolished jewel of the Los Angeles community could not be allowed to fade away.Today, La Fonda on Wilshire continues to carry on its legacy as a Mecca of Mariachi Music and Mexican culture. Currently, we are featuring Mariachi Monumental de America de Juan Jose Almaguer. As one of the country's premier mariachi groups, Monumental de America brings a quality of music befitting the legacy of La Fonda.

We found parking on Wilshire blvd which was super convenient. We hadn;t been there for years and this is not the dingy old La Fonda. The group was talented and fun and visited our table for a happy birthday. I ate the lamb which was amazing and sampled chicken in a tasty mustard sauce.
My friends went up on stage at the end to dance a "mariachi loco."
 Not coming back

La Fonda recently reopened and it is not owned by the same people as before. And it is not the same mariachi group, Los Camperos. My family and I recently returned and found the food to be awful. It's mostly a place for tourists or white people that don't know any better. My group and I asked for tortillas and they said they didn't have any. It's a mexican restaurant how could you not have tortillas! I waited 20 mins for water. However, the mariachis weren't bad but in l.a. there are far better places.
Pros: Mariachis
Cons: Food & Staff
