Originally I gave this place 5 stars. We became regulars. At least once a week we would eat here, happily. Then one week we both get bad meals. No biggie, it happens. Came back the following week, same thing and the service was a little bad. Third week, same thing. 😖 Don't know what happened. We tip well and are courteous. Guess we'll find another Mexican restaurant.

Good place to eat. I would pass on the guacamole, it was mashed avocado and lime juice. Was very bland and flavorless. Fajitas were very good! We ordered the double steak and took half home for later. Not all peppers and onions, had a good amount of steak and they were well seasoned. Have had other menu items that were just ok. Staff was friendly and prices were reasonable.

Ordered from lunch menu and charged from dinner menu. Weak salsa made better with habanero sauce at the table. Good food but watch for bait and switch on the bill.

Good food. Hard benches. No where to change a baby in the woman's restroom. Let me say the food was not what I am used to. We tried the molkejete which was very large. It has a lot of steak. It also had chicken and shrimp. The molcajete was good. The red sauce was a little spicy. For those not used to spice, it may be too spicy. Beans, shredded lettuce, pico and guacamole that was turning brown EWW! I also ordered a chile relleno. I guess if I wanted the chile relleno I am familiar with I needed to order chile pablanos. Per the menu a chile pablano is stuffed with shredded cheese, egg battered and topped with red and green suace. What I received was a chile unbattered stuffed with chorizo, red sauce, sprinkled with melted chesse and COLD!! Plus I am not a huge fan of chorizo. We also ordered a tostado, cheese enchiliada and a chicken enchilada. We ordered a long island iced tea which was reasonably priced 6.99 for 18 oz but really tasted nothing like iced tea too much lime. The other two diners ordered Micheladas with 32 oz Corona's Cahuamas. For those of us that are not familiar, a Michelada is mexicaan beer, clamato, hot sauce worcestershire sauce, maggi sauce, in a glass rimmed with tajin seasoning. Both were upset that the glass the michelada was served was possibly 32 oz full. Normally if there is beer leftover from making the michelada the diner gets what is remainder. Neither received the remainder of the Corona Cahumas. A large michelada is 11.00 definitely pricey. One of the diners in my party has experinced this same thing previously at Fondito.

Wow! I've been living in the Illinois Valley area for about a year and a half and don't know how I missed this place! My shrimp quesadilla was incredible! No little shrimp like some pllaces, but nice size camarones! And the salsa was awesome! We will be back!
