  I love me some Mexican food or almost any food for that matter. La Fuente Mexican Grill & Cantina happened to be the place to chow down. It was nice to have the place almost to ourselves. Only one other group was among us that night. La Fuente had the food hot, large and in charge and quite yummy. It was clean and spacious too--double whammy.

  Place is decent.  Lots of variety on the menu and a few unusual combinations that make it interesting.  Aztec Soup was very good.  Drinks were buy 1 get second half off. After the soup the food came a little too fast as I was only about half way done with it and the entree showed up. I had a creamy chicken and mushroom with rice and beans..unusual but tasty.  Very large portions. Salsa and chips were good but nothing extra ordinary.  Prices were very reasonable for the portions.  All in all would go back again. Bear in my mind I hadnt eaten anything all day so ...will have to go again when not quite as famished to really know if it was my hunger or the food that made me enjoy my meal!

  As far as Mexican restaurants in Fishers go, this is by far one of the better ones. The food is above average, drink list is good and the drinks themselves are delicious. This place used to be called Fajitas and now it is under new management with a new name. Very clean inside (dining room, bathroom) and the staff is very friendly and helpful! I would go here FIRST, if I was in the area and in the mood for Mexican.

  There are a lot of Mexican restaurants in Fishers, and most of them are pretty good.  We've been regulars for probably about 10 years at one of the El Rodeo locations several miles away, and although we've tried all the closer restaurants as they've opened up, none supplanted El Rodeo -- at least not until now.
  
  La Fuente is located in the space that used to be Fajitas, one of those "closer and okay, but not better than El Rodeo" places we'd frequented a couple times.  Always game to try a new Mexican restaurant, when we noticed the sign no longer said Fajitas we thought we'd give it another visit.
  
  We first went at lunchtime on a weekday, and have been back twice now for dinner, once on the weekend and once in the middle of the week.  Each time, everything was excellent.  There was no wait for a table yet there was a decent crowd in the restaurant; the service was literally outstanding; and the food was flavorful, plentiful, and reasonably priced.
  
  We had a mishap on our second trip when our server turned a corner too fast while carrying our two Cervaritas (an ingenious and very fun drink comprised of a full, open bottle of beer plunged upside down into the middle of a large Margarita -- some kind of science fair experiment gone awry, no doubt!) on a tray, and we watched in horror as each top-heavy upside-down glass Corona bottle slowly rolled around the rim of its Margarita glass, then slipped out and crashed to the floor.  First one went, then the other, too quickly for any of us to react.  It caused a couple loud crashes, and quite a stir at the nearby tables, and I got a little of the splash on one leg and foot, but it was handled extremly well, with profuse apologies from both the server and manager several times, our drinks and much of our meal comped, and a coupon to use on our next visit.
  
  Our next visit was just a couple days ago, and we were remembered (by both our last and current servers -- imagine!) and welcomed back warmly.  Again, the food was excellent, and the service was skillful and friendly.  (And yes, I ordered another Cervarita just for fun, and now they wait until it's delivered to the table before inverting the beer bottle into the margarita!)  This time I tried a combination of two enchiladas (one beef, one cheese) with a taco, and I've previously had the chicken chimichanga and shrimp fajitas.  My son had fajitas, my husband had a combination with enchiladas and a burrito, and my daughter always has a chicken fajita quesadilla with only cheese, no vegetables.  All said their food was great, as usual.
  
  Oh, and the decor is very nice, too.  Not as upscale as Abuela's, but there's a pretty tiled fountain in the center of the front room that adds a nice touch of ambience.  At Christmastime it was filled with gifts, and more recently the water had returned.  We'll probably still go to El Rodeo once in awhile, but I think we've found another regular spot to frequent, and much closer to home!
