Went to Sharp's Memorial hospital and took a break from waiting for my loved one to be released from ER. Wanted to go to a Mexican place that was open late. To find the place using Google Maps took me to the strip of businesses, but actually finding the restaurant was tricky. There is no signage for any of the shops...maybe the strip is remodeling?? Idk. It took a kind person parked next to me to tell it was down the way at the end of the row of shops. I had the shredded beef quesadilla. The tortilla was hand made and delicious! The shredded beef flavor was mildly had the Mexican flavor, but when you add in the sauces, that's what made it taste really good! I would come again if I was in the area again.

La Fuente never disappoints when it comes to food! Everything is always fresh, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. You can really taste the care that goes into the cooking, and it’s clear they work hard and take pride in what they do in the kitchen. If there’s one small area for improvement, it would be a little more friendliness at the front counter to match the warmth that comes from the kitchen. Other than that, this place is a true gem and a spot I’ll keep coming back to again and again. Highly recommend!
