La Fonda

A Puerto Rican Eatery in El Barrio

La 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.
