La Fuente

Very nice ambiance plus courteous service. But the food leaves a lot to be desired. Salsa and chips are good, and the carafe the salsa is served in, is generous as are the chips. If you are in Elkin and have a taste for Mexican… try it for yourselves, but don’t expect too much. Enjoy the chips/​salsa

Great place. Nice, clean, good Service great food.
Try La Cachina with steak. Amazing!

I am local. Many Mexican restaurants in the area come and go, but this one has stood the test of time. Much of the staff has been there 5 years or longer, and are very friendly and accommodating. Everyone speaks English, by the way. Service is always fast.
I love their homemade salsa. It’s mild, and even kids eat it because it’s smooth, not chunky.
Favorites include their fajitas, pollo Yucatan, and grande quesadillas. Prices have gradually increased over the years, of course, but I always know exactly what to expect.

The restaurant was authentically decorated. But the food was nothing exciting. I ordered ½ a shrimp chimichanga for $ 5. It was more than enough to get me full (considering I had eaten some nuts, wheat thins, and cheese just prior to coming), BUT it was smaller than what I would have expected. The food wasn’t awful, but not great either. Just a bland burrito topped with a load of guacamole and sour cream.
I ordered a churro for dessert, expecting it to be just a nice plain, crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside churro. Boy was I wrong! It was drowned in disgustingly sweet strawberry and chocolate syrup. Topped with whip cream and a cherry. Ewwww! To make it worse, the churro was stale/​chewy (if that is even possible to imagine). I don’t think I’ll be coming back here to get my Mexican food fix, sorry.

Great service, very nice décor. I wanted to give them 3.5 but Unilocal won’t allow it. I had the steak Vallarta (t-​bone and shrimp). It was pretty good, but not outstanding. I came with my mom and she got got the rancheros chefs special which she liked. I’d say the major selling point of this place is that they have good portions and it’s pretty inexpensive.
