I’m late posting this review, and I apologize. We took the Harley for a ride from Fort Myers to Homestead with the intentions of eating at Fonda Familiar.We arrived at the restaurant, ready to eat. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. We ordered, and enjoyed the chips and salsa while waiting.We shared the combination fajitas and it was delicious !After finishing the main course, the owners, mother and son team, came out to join us, let us try complimentary desserts, also delicious, and great conversation.What a hidden gem of a restaurant, with good food, friendly staff and ownership. We like to try different restaurants and prefer to spend our money at the independent places rather than the big chain restaurants.Give FONDA FAMILIAR a try, I’m certain that you will be a frequent patron.
The best meal we had while staying in south Florida. The tacos and arrachera were fantastic and so was the service. A perfect stop after a day in the Everglades.
Soo good 1st time the mahimahi tacos and shrimp tacos so yumm, get the queso fundido with chorizo and use the fork its easier to get the cheese, the steak tacos had good flavor even took home some churros its best to eat freshly done but still so good. We'll be back
The food is DELICIOUS. I had the fish tacos, my husband the beef soup. Fresh and authentic. Restaurant is very clean. Fast service. Very friendly and helpful.
We wanted to try someplace new, near by, not a chain restaurant, a place with good reviews.The parking situation was not good - it's in a small strip mall with a full parking lot.We came for dinner on a Friday night. The place was empty. There was music in the background but not too loud- thank goodness since we like to be able to hear each other when we talk. There was a juke box in the corner.We were greeted by the waitress. She gave us menus, took our drink order and promptly brought usNachos (would taste better if they were warm) with salsa.We ordered a small guacamole (wasn't enough) and were brought more chips. The guac was VERY GOOD. tasted fresh. Wish we ordered the large size. Sorry, but we forgot to take a picture of the guacamole. It didn't last long. We ordered aQuesidilla with carne asada, Enchiladas, Fajitas, 2 tacos, and churros (cinnamon sticks) for dessert. First time we ever had those and they were tasty. They came with chocolate sauce & dulce de leche to dip in. Yummy.When the food came, it was fresh and hot; we were very happy to get hot food. We all liked our meals. The Fajitas came with 3 warm soft shelled tacos & a tiny guacamole. The quesidilla had a lithe cup of sour cream.The soda was Mexican bottled Coke with real sugar - not high fructose corn syrup!The service was great, Valentina was friendly & polite. She guided us on the menu and we were happy with our selections. The empty dishes were taken away promptly. The place looks clean, but the seat next to me was dirty. Overall, we enjoyed our meals and would go back again. We spent about $25/person. If half stars were possible, I'd give this place 4 1/2 stars.
I decided to try some Mexican food and came across this delicious hidden spot! The place was perfect for a relaxing Saturday afternoon. I had chips & salsa with a refreshing cold bottled Coca Cola. Decided to try the fajitas and they were seasoned perfectly and I enjoyed the fresh avocado on the salad as well. For dessert I had freshly made churros with caramel and chocolate dipping sauce. Everything was flavorful and delicious! The staff is friendly and helpful too.
So we were looking for tacos but instead of going to our favorite place I said let's do something different. I googled Mexican food and this place with 4.9 stars came up. It is worth it the guac was nice and freshelicious. The queso fundido came and wow that was a very nice queso.....then the tacos de asada....what can I say the green sauce was my favorite and the tacos were meaty and yummy....great flavor. The presentation is on point....I am in a eat different diet but had 1 bite of the churros and is was crunchy goodnes. In a nut shell the place is a must when looking for good Mexican food in Homestead where there is plenty of Mexican restaurants.
Very homey atmosphere! The food is delicious! I had a great conversation with Rodrigo and his mother. We had a very deep intricate conversation about society and I can tell he is a very open minded and loving guy. Believe me when I say that love transfers to their food! Highly recommend for everyone!
Love Fonda Familiar! Several trips have been made from the north Miami area to Homestead for Fonda Familiar's food! The food is DELICIOUS! The staff and their service is kind and attentive! Feel very welcomed each and every time. I'll keep driving almost an hour gladly! Don't second guess it! Come in and enjoy some delicious food!
This place is Awesome! The staff is very nice and welcoming. The owners came to our table to say hi and ask how our dining experience was. This is a family owned restaurant that has great flavor and quality food. We definitely will be back any chance we get.
