First Anniversary Of Overton LaFonda

savichetostada

Next week, La Fonda Mexican Restaurant is celebrating its first anniversary of opening in downtown Overton. On July 6, 2015 the family-owned and operated business first opened its doors. Since that time, the restaurant has become a favorite for local diners.

To celebrate, the restaurant is introducing a cool and refreshing summer favorite to its customers. La Fonda’s Ceviche Tostadas are the perfect dish to ease the blistering heat of Moapa Valley summer.

Ceviche is a traditional Latin American recipe using choice seafood marinated in refreshing citrus juices, mainly lime. The dish also includes chopped tomato, cilantro, cucumber and just a touch of hot sauce and seasonings. Then it all is served chilled, atop a tostada shell and topped with avocado slices.

The variety of seafood in the dish is entirely up to the customer. “Some people like only shrimp ceviche,” said LaFonda owner Rosa Kundev. “Others like a mixed ceviche including shrimp, fish, octopus and scallops. We can serve it however they like it.”

Kundev said that LaFonda’s Ceviche has already become a popular dish for summer customers. “A lot of our customers didn’t know anything about it,” she said. “But when they try it they love it. It is perfect for summer when you just don’t feel like eating something hot.”

So come in and try something new. Celebrate LaFonda’s first anniversary in Overton by asking for Ceviche Tostadas. You will love it!
