Food was mediocre. Chips were greasy and stale. Beans tasted awful. Rice left much to be desired. We shared the fajitas for 2, and after digging through a pikes peak sized mountain of onions, there was enough chicken for one person. We definitely won't be back. Our server Mary was great though.

Amanda’s Fonda has yummy Mexican food, friendly service, we love the creek side dining, and it’s affordable! Amanda’s Fonda is a gem on the Westside!

Love the food. Busy but still great service. Came back on mother's day and did not disappoint. Bar and wait staff were amazing.

Best Mexican food I've ever had !!

Food was wonderful waitresses was very friendly. Only reason not 5 star was outside dining out back they didn't have good air flow so it was a suana. Maybe opening some of the rain flaps would help.

Friendly service and big margaritas. Molcajete is memorable and fresh off the grill... On your table.

We moved to Colorado in 2014, and I had never found good Queso Blanco. Altho we've seen this restaurant tons of times, we JUST had our first visit on 4/30/22, for the sole reason that I saw Queso Blanco on the online menu. But the Queso was just the tip of the iceberg: the whole meal was awesome! I had Chicken Taquitos and hubby had Beef Enchiladas, then we capped off the meal with Bunuelos. All the staff were very friendly and helpful, and the atmosphere is really nice (we sat outside by the Creek).We're already talking about when we will go back, because we both found our new favorite Mexican Restaurant that night!

Sooo good! Everything was wonderful and tasty. It was good weather so we ate outside. Would definitely recommend!????

I stopped by based on TA Reviews. It was an average experience. Service was friendly. The restaurant has a very nice patio out back. Distancing between tables is nice and comfortable. The service was very friendly and helpful. The menu offered plenty of options. I ordered a 2 Item Combo with a Pork Tamale and a Chili Relleno and a House Margarita. Food delivery was very fast. Surprised me the food was on the table so soon after ordering. I was just enjoying the Chips and Salsa when the plate arrived. The serving size was a bit less than hoped for. Flavors were ok, but nothing stood out as memorable. Seasoning was a bit blander than I like. It wasn’t a bad meal, it just wasn’t a meal that I would classify as more than “Average”. Sorry. Just being honest. If you’re looking for a Mexican Restaurant in the area and need quick turnaround on a decent meal, Amanda’s Fonda is a good option in a comfortable atmosphere. On my next trip to the area, I will look for a more standout option.

Loved our relaxing lunch after a beautiful hike on a perfect blue bird Colorado Day. The food and Margs are great
