Food was decent, wait staff is incredible. Very friendly! Came in with a big group on a weeknight and they had no issues. Fried ice cream dessert was a great idea.

Right when i walked through the doors I was greeted by a nice older gentleman, think he was the owner or manager, not sure but none the less it was a great way to start. I ordered chicken flautas. Would come back for the service alone. It felt like i was family the way the treated me. The food was delicious as well!

I’ve been to La Fuente for lunch and also for a private party. The atmosphere is true to their name sake, a fountain of good food good friendship, good times! I would recommend La Fuente to anyone for the best Mexican food in the valley! And, their banquet service is top-notch. I had a lovely time!

HIDDEN GEM: I've driven past this place consistently for 20 years and for whatever reason never considered it. Tonight we decide to branch out from our regular spots and what a delight. No wait, amazing service, food was even better! Cadillac margaritas were great, and the enchiladas were incredible. No complaints at all, we'll be back soon. Our other Sparks Mexican spots unfortunately don't hold a candle to this place. Do yourself a favor and enjoy a great meal here, can't go wrong!

This is the best Mexican food we’ve had since moving to Sparks this year. I ordered takeout on a Saturday afternoon and it was ready in 15 minutes and the service was great. We ordered a chicken burrito meal, the la fuente combination (burrito, taco, enchilada) with shredded beef, and the fried ice cream. Everything was delicious and we will definitely return!

This is a smallish to medium size family owned & run business. There is someone in the back always making the food & it has a half open wall so you are able to see how & what they're preparing! The order, whether it's for sit down & be served at a table or to go, is always good. If you are not happy or satisfied they promise to make it right. But I've never had a bad meal there. I Love 'em
