Traditional Latin American cafe and juice bar

About us

About Us


La Fonda Latina was established in 2018 with a goal of introducing the flavors of Latin America to the scenic Kuranda Rainforest Markets. The founders, who are passionate about traditional Latin cuisine with a vegan and vegetarian flare, brought their expertise and experience to the business. The result is a successful venture that delights locals and tourists alike with authentic dishes such as tacos, empanadas, and fresh juices and smoothies.

La Fonda Latina's emphasis on fresh ingredients and traditional cooking techniques sets them apart from other food vendors in the area. All meals are made fresh to order and the tacos and Portia’s are made from scratch.

The cozy atmosphere and friendly service make it the perfect spot to enjoy a delicious meal while surrounded by the lush beauty of the rainforest.

Fresh, local ingredients

At La Fonda Latina, we take pride in using the freshest ingredients sourced from local farmers and producers. We believe that the quality of our food resides in the integrity of the ingredients we use. We carefully select seasonal produce, herbs, and spices that reflect the flavors of Latin cuisine.

Tropical, local and organic ingredients

At La Fonda Latina, we pride ourselves on using only the freshest ingredients to create the most unique and delicious meals.

We firmly believe in supporting our local community, which is why we prioritize cooking with locally sourced and traditional fruits and vegetables. From the earthy goodness of taro to the sweet and versatile plantain, our chefs expertly incorporate these local treasures into our dishes.

Come and savor the vibrant tastes of our creations, made with love and care using the freshest ingredients Mother Nature has to offer.

From juicy mangoes to sweet pineapples, these fruits add a burst of flavor and color to our dishes.

Whether we're using them to create or adding them to a bright and refreshing fruit salad, fresh tropical fruits are a must-have in our kitchen. We source our fruits locally and make sure they are at the peak of ripeness before using them in any dish. Come dine with us and taste the difference fresh tropical fruits can make in your meal.
