Job ListingsLa Fonda NYC invites you to experience more than just Puerto Rican "food", it's a culinary journey that blends centuries-old traditions onto a single plate. For the past three decades, despite changes in names and owners (just like Puerto Rico), we have passionately strived to bring El Barrio and food lovers everywhere the finest in Puerto Rican cuisine. We modernize some dishes while preserving the authenticity of traditional recipes.
Enjoy classics inherited flavors by Jorge Ayala, such as our signature Pernil, various Mofongos (Shrimp being our most loved), Ensalada de Pulpo, Pollo Guisado, Bistec Encebollado, Chicharrón de Pollo, Flan, Tembleque and more.
Each bite might transport you to a cherished memory or create a new one. Our food has even brought some to tears, reminiscent of their beloved family kitchens. Additionally, discover new favorites like our Bori Wings, the First ever Bori Taco, our Vegan Cañoa (filled with pure veggies), and the list goes on.
Whether you're visiting for the first time or returning to El Barrio, we hope you'll savor the vibrant flavors, enjoy the lively music (Friday nights having Live Salsa/Latin Jazz), and appreciate the rich original art always on display in our humble spot that has welcomed and fed guests from all over the world.
Make the most of your evening with a well-planned reservation at our restaurant.
I'm not sure what others were eating or expecting but this is true Puerto Rican Food. My heart is so happy. I fell in love with all things Puerto Rican several years ago and this meal took me right back to Puerto Rico. Please visit this place often!!! You will not be disappointed
Mmmm , so good. We had a couple of appetizers and shared the Pernil; there was plenty left for lunch the next day. Had a Huracan as well; it's definitely tasty and with a punch.
This was my first time at La Fonda and it definitely won't be my last. The service was amazing. The staff were very attentive and detail oriented the food and drinks we're also really good! I live in CT and will definitely drive back to New York to eat there again! Thank you La Fonda.
The mofongo de vegetales was sublime! And our waiter answered all of our questions. We were looking for a place to grab a cocktail and a meal before going out for the night. This was just the place.
Food was authentic and delicious. Service was outstanding. The pernil and Bistec Encebollado were amazing.
