Exploring the Depths of Flavor
Our menu is a testament to the diversity found within Mexican gastronomy. We encourage our patrons to explore beyond the usual expectations. Consider the slow-simmered depth of our traditional stews, which require hours of careful preparation to achieve their rich complexity. Or perhaps sample our selection of expertly grilled items, where the char and smoke perfectly complement the marinated meats. For those who appreciate heat, our house-made chili preparations offer layers of spice that enhance rather than overpower the primary flavors of the dish. Every plate tells a story of the regions it originates from, interpreted through the lens of our passionate kitchen staff.

Located conveniently at 11977 Herriman Main St, La Fountain Mexican Restaurant Herriman is positioned to be your go-to local spot for consistently delicious, culturally rich Mexican food.

Delicious Mexican food. I also love the option to pick up to go orders using their drive thru which is especially nice when you have children in the car and don’t want to worry about getting them out of the car to get food.
Their food is reasonably priced for the serving sizes. We both got the 2 or 3 combos which gives you more than enough food for 2-3 meals. I ordered the 3 cheese enchiladas with flour tortillas and I was able to eat the leftovers for 2 meals. Their salsa is a little spicy for me, but I also think I am a little weak when it comes to spice. Their kids combo was not the greatest. We got the cheese quesadilla with fries. Their fries were undercooked and not very good.

Food is good but watch out for the "rice and beans on the side" up sale. Waitress asked if we wanted rice and beans on the side as if it was just part of the plate and it was $5.99 for each one.

This is your basic American-style Mexican joint. Everything is good and fresh, and we had no complaints. Our server was young and took time to eat his lunch while we were there, so we had to ask another server for hot sauce, but other than that things were good. We’ll go back when we’re craving the standard fare!

I ordered their daily special a smothered burrito for 9.99 with rice and beans. I asked for chicken which they said of course to. When I checked my receipt they charged me 6 dollars for rice and beans. I questioned them about it and apparently the daily special is only a bean and cheese burrito. When I placed the order they should have told me it was only a bean burrito and would cost extra for chicken. I would have ordered something else. Noone told me it was only a bean burrito and it wasn't on the sign.

La Fountain is so authentic, my taste buds had to fill out immigration paperwork.
My Hispanic friend George said it’s real Mexican food, and when George says something, you don’t argue, you just nod and order extra salsa!
The burrito was so big it filed a restraining order against my plate. I asked George what made it authentic, and he just stared at me until I apologized in Spanish.
I don’t know if George is in the cartel, but the waiter called him “Señor” and handed him a briefcase, I didn’t ask questions, I just tipped 40% and left as quickly as possible.
I’m rating this 10/10 jalapeño peppers on the Mexican rating scale, muy caliente!!

It's a typical Mexi-American restaurant. Similar to La puente, La Frontera, La Luna, Salsa Leedos, etc. Nothing special. The menu has several pages of dishes with color photos.
The prices are very reasonable.
The service was great and the restaurant was very clean.

Got 2 breakfast burritos. Love breakfast burritos and typically Mexican restaurants do them right. This thing was nasty. It wasn’t even wrapped the tortilla was just sitting on top of diced ham, what looked like 1 scrambled egg and salsa. … More

Carlos and all the employees are awesome! The food is good, chips and salsa is perfect, and they have clean restrooms which means they care. We come here several times a month, and we would considered ourselves regulars.
Thank you for the great food, service, and friendly atmosphere!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Fantastic place for full flavor Mexican style cuisine. Service is excellent the space is very clean and has a very cozy authentic atmosphere.
🔥 🍽️ 🌶️ 🌯 🌮 🥘 🫔🍹🍺 Many food/drink options to choose from all
Cooked fresh when ordered. Their daily lunch specials (shown) are a great deal for $12.99 including a drink and you can pick any special any day from 10am to 3pm. Table salsa is very mild they offer a spicy version that’s more blended but not that spicy IMO. Been her many times as I live close by and never had a bad experience. I get the vibe that it a a family owned/operated restaurant and you can tell by the genuine hospitality and unique flavors. Try this place out and #YoullThankMeLater 👍🏼 😃👍🏼
