Amanda's Fonda
3625 W. Colorado Ave Cuisines: MexicanAbout
My pick for Mexican food in Colorado Springs, Amanda's Fonda is the handiwork of a family that has owned Mexican restaurants for six generations. Clearly they've honed the art of making remarkable chile in that time: Both the chile Colorado and the green chile are excellent; the former is red with big hunks of steak, the latter spicier with pork. The burritos, spinach-and-mushroom enchiladas, and seafood are also quite tasty, and on weekends the menu includes both menudo (tripe soup) and pozole (pork and hominy stew). The interior of the place is a funky maze, one part log cabin, one part family restaurant, and one part Mexican bar and grill. The shady creekside patio is a great place for a summertime meal.
