Review by Jerad Walter

Fonda San José is a hidden gem in Chattanooga! 🌟 I stopped by for lunch and was delighted by the prompt service and cozy vibe. I tried the mushroom quesadilla and beef rolled tacos, both bursting with flavor!

The happy hour drinks were a perfect bonus - I enjoyed a refreshing margarita. Despite a quiet atmosphere, the staff was friendly and attentive. 🥳

Just a heads-up: if you have a Local Flavor coupon, double-check with management beforehand. Overall, I highly recommend this spot for authentic Mexican bites! Will definitely be back! 🌮✨
