Henry was a fixture at La Fonda from 1980 to 2006. His favorite dishes were the chicken con queso and the Aztec shrimp. Many, many customers asked to be seated at one of Henry's tables, and he'd like to let all of them know just how much he appreciated their loyalty, and values the friendships he's made here over the years. Sadly, Henry passed away on the first of March, 2013 after a hard fought battle with a diabetes related illness.

Richard Saucedo was a favorite of many long-time La Fonda customers. He was at La Fonda since 1968, and passed away on November seventh, 2010. His favorite menu item was the skirt steak, and when away from La Fonda his passion was dancing!

Ms. Jane was with the restaurant from 1982 until 2012. She always had a smile for everyone! She would tell you to try the shrimp enchiladas. *** There in Jane's left hand is some of La Fonda's "Monday Sauce", a rich, dark, smokey salsa served (when else?) only on Monday evenings.
