If you're craving authentic Mexican street food with a Hamptons twist, La Fondita in Amagansett delivers a laid-back, flavor-packed experience that’s perfect for sunny days, beach stops, and casual outdoor dining. Nestled along Montauk Highway, this counter-service gem brings bold flavors, generous portions, and a colorful, festive vibe that feels like summer year-round.
What to Order
Start with the grilled corn elote, slathered in cotija cheese, lime, and chili—it’s a must. The tacos are the real draw here, especially the carne asada, al pastor, and fish tacos, all wrapped in warm corn tortillas with fresh garnishes. For a heartier option, go with the chicken mole enchiladas or the burrito bowl with rice, beans, avocado, and your protein of choice.
Vegetarians will love the sweet plantain tacos and the black bean tostadas, while kids can enjoy simpler fare like quesadillas or chicken tacos.
Don’t miss the homemade aguas frescas, Mexican sodas, or a refreshing margarita (if you're dining in the attached seating area). And yes—the guacamole is made fresh and worth every bite.
Ambiance
La Fondita captures a rustic roadside taqueria vibe with its picnic tables, string lights, and colorful signage. It’s a no-frills, all-flavor kind of place—casual, fast-paced, and ideal for families, couples, or solo diners looking to grab a quick bite. Outdoor seating is abundant, and it’s dog-friendly, making it a favorite among locals and beachgoers.
Whether you're passing through or planning a low-key taco night under the stars, La Fondita is a seasonal must-visit in Amagansett that delivers delicious food with laid-back charm.
