Fonda Familiar Mexican Restaurant Homestead

MARVELOUS MEXICAN cuisine is the story of Fonda Familiar, a find for foodies far south of Miami and close to an entrance to the landmark Everglades National Park. Fonda Familiar is easy to miss, as it’s in a strip mall and parking can be very scarce. We nearly gave up on a Saturday afternoon in May 2021 because of the poor parking, but as we turned to exit a beaten-up Mercury eased out of a space and we soon made it into the restaurant itself. The fact that Finda Familiar’s decor was fundamentally Formica-topped tables and modest wall hangings was quickly forgotten as we ordered delicious coffee flavored with cinnamon, tortilla soup that seemed touched by something divine, and tacos with a full range of toppings that were marvelous. It is a great place, takeout was popular, and the loo was spotless.

Was passing through on our way home from the Keys. Found this place on Google and saw how wonderful the reviews were. Wow! What an amazing place! The food is incredible. All family recipes and everything is so fresh. Whether you are a local or just passing through you should definitely try this place!

Excellent authentic Mexican food, excellent service. We stopped in on our road trip, and we're so glad we chose this restaurant. It's run by a mother and son team, and they are wonderful, delightful, friendly people. I highly recommend the chicken enchiladas.
