4.0 of 5 stars. It sounds like this place can get crowded for dinner, but for lunch Amanda's Fonda was awesome! My friend and I got there at about 12:30, and we were seated immediately, got drinks immediately and...

4.0 of 5 stars. After experiencing a night at Amanda's Fonda, I am a fan! Unfortunately, they don't take reservations. We tried. However, from what I had heard, it was going to be worth the wait. After about 30...

3.0 of 5 stars. Good, but nothing particularly special; certainly not special enough to stand in line waiting. There are a million Mexican restaurants and half of those can martch this one regarding quality of food....

Yelp.com Review - by Will W.

2.0 of 5 stars. I've been here several times. Have had good and bad experiences. But I must say: The staff doesn't know how to appease customers. They don't accept reservations, and I had a group of 6 ladies going...

4.0 of 5 stars. Best Guaq in town. They have never screwed up a meal and I've loved everyone of them. If it's warm sit outside. One of the best patios in the city.

3.0 of 5 stars. We got to the restaurant at prime dinner time (about 6:15 on a Friday night) and were told a 30 minute wait. I don't know how long the wait actually was, when I'm hungry it seems like forever. I think...

Yelp.com Review - by Katrina A.

4.0 of 5 stars. I'm from southern California and the only thing I miss more than the beach are the fish tacos. The fish tacos at Amanda's Fonda are not exactly what they should be (they're still the fried version, I...

5.0 of 5 stars. I've been all over the U.S. on a quest for good mexican food, and let me tell you, Amanda's is as good as it gets. It is authentic mexican, not tex-mex. The salsa is unbelievable! I had a bit of a...

Bad Lunch Experience

I went to Amanda's for lunch with some friends and ordered the beef tostadas. When my plate came, I was surprised at how small the tostadas were and how little filling was on them. And putting cabbage on them...

5.0 of 5 stars. Easily the best "traditional" Mexican food in Colorado Springs. I've been going to Amandas for the last 10 years and have never had a bad meal there. The chips and salsa are fresh, and flavorful,...

nothing special

We sat on the back patio. Nice to eat outside. But the food was bland. Nothing we had was spicy or hot. I don't even think the refried beans had salt in them! Maybe they make the food that way for the...

Amanda's Fonda

This place has terrific Mexican food. I especially liked their salsa. The only problem I had was that because it IS so popular, there is usually a wait and it can get pretty loud at times. The wait...

What's the Big Deal?

This place is always packed probably because of the plentiful proportions. We've been twice, the second time because we thought the first time might have been a fluke. Was just as mediocre the second time.
