The Staff at
La Fonda Oakhills

One of the most crucial elements to an enjoyable evening dining out is that the waitstaff who will be serving you be courteous, knowledgeable, and friendly. No matter how excellent the cuisine, being served by a bartender, waiter, or waitress who is inattentive or surly can ruin an otherwise pleasant meal. Each and every one of La Fonda's waitstaff takes pride in their professionalism and years of service. Come in and let us pamper you!


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 past twenty six years.

Henry retired in May, 2006, and still lives in San Antonio



Cecelia is the cashier you'll find behind the front desk at lunchtime. She's originally from California and has been at La Fonda for two years now. Her favorite dish is the Baja Fish Tacos, and when not working at La Fonda, she loves to play Bingo, and spending time with her nieces and nephews.

Richard is a favorite of many long-time La Fonda customers. He's been here since 1968! His favorite menu item is the skirt steak, and when away from La Fonda his passion is dancing! His expertise has to be seen to be belived. If you're at La Fonda when there is a mariachi present, try to convince him to "step out". You'll be impressed, I guarantee it.



Ms. Jane has been with the restaurant since 1982. She always has a smile for everyone! She'll 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.

Your server just might be Greyby. She's from Nicaragua. What a great smile she has!

In addition to the daunting task of raising three children, she still manages to find time to teach each week at the Christian Church's Eagles Nest Sunday school.


You'll find Ken behind the bar from Thursday till Monday. If you ask him, he'll say "Try the skirt steak". It's his favorite.
