Why You Should Go: When it comes to cheap Mexican food, LA has an embarrassment of riches. But all the taquerias and taco trucks in the city make it all too easy to forget that done right, taking your Mexican food up a notch is more than worth it. At La Fonda Supper Club, you’ll find a sophisticated dining room, deliciously upscale menu and a live Mariachi Show five nights a week.

What You Should Know: La Fonda provides the ultimate Mexican dining experience, wining and dining you with a carefully crafted menu and a full bar. Start your meal off right with Queso Fundido or fresh Ceviche served in tortilla shells, before feasting on entrees like the Carne Asada, Salmon en Salsa de Pistachio, or Maria Elena’s Mole. But what’s a dinner without a little entertainment? Wednesday to Sunday night you’ll have the pleasure of catching La Fonda’s Mariachi Show, a Mexican tradition unlike any other. When the show is over, your night isn’t however, it’s merely time to move to the lounge and enjoy the live DJ. We’re pretty sure you can’t get all of that at a food cart.
