La Fonda is authentic! The menu is vast. Staff are very good at interpreting the menu and the ingredients for those not familiar with Mexican food. The staff are amazing and work well as a team. Kudos to Liz, Claudia, Leslie & lvonne. All staff are attentive, smiling and hard-working.Locals frequent here helping me to know it is authentic. The food is very good, favourful and plentiful. The salsa served as you are seated, with homemade tortillas, is very good. Alcoholic drinks including my Margarita was very good.I cannot begin to explain each dish. Everything we had was perfection

Was working from the room at the Holiday Inn Express and wandered over to Palmita's Taco Shop. NOTE: The spelling in the TripAdvisor listing is incorrect.The place was busy - so clearly a favorite with the locals. I ordered carnitas and a chili relleno, and both were very good. The relleno came with just some lettuce and tomato instead of drowned in sauce (as you find in many restaurants). Inexpensive, quick and good. Atmosphere is pretty basic, but if you are there for the food (or takeout), it doesn't really matter.

This restaurant feels like you're in someone's home kitchen in Mexico. The food was authentic and delicious. The salsas (both green and red) were AMAZING! The chicken verde enchiladas which came with three smothered enchiladas, beans, and rice. The chicken was flavourful and the verde sauce made the dish perfection. Everyone in our party of 5 was amazed at how tasteful their entrees were.We called the chef out of the kitchen and complimented him. He told us his specialty was breakfast and that we should return one morning before we left the area. He said his plates overflow with the best Mexican food you have ever tasted. We we're fortunate enough to catch him cooking for dinner.With many options to choose from in El Centro, this Mexican hole-in-the-wall is the perfect choice for a quick delicious meal. I would definitely return again and again.

4. Sombrero Mexican Food

I don't particularly enjoy eating out by myself. But when traveling for work it happens. This little place is very comfortable and the staff is pleasant, leaving a solo diner feeling safe and comfortable to eat and enjoy their food. The food is consistently good and there is a nice salsa bar and open beverage bar for refills.
