Located across from a row of warehouses on Old Galveston Road in South Houston, La Fonda, with its bright yellow-orange exterior, certainly stands out. Get the pollos y carnes asados al carbon—a parade of smoky fajitas, sweet grilled onions, and chiles toreados (roasted jalapeños) on a sizzling-hot cast-iron skillet, served with a plate of guacamole, pico de gallo, and fresh tortillas. Or try the quesadilla grande, a burrito-sized tortilla folded in half and packed full of warm mozzarella and the meat of your choice—a simple yet reliable favorite.
