TLDR: Incredibly flavorful mexican food, can’t go wrong with the Enchiladas Suizas or the Pollo Norteño Fajitas (or any other classics). Went with the rats, and the food at Fonda continues to hit. A bit pricey, but the drinks / apps / mains were all insanely flavorful (and had a kick, which we appreciate 🌶️). Restaurant was way too cold upstairs, but service was solid. Apps: - Double Guacamole (not a must order, but mad good) - Ceviche de Atun (sooo tasty) - Croquetes de Jaiba (crab croquettes were so good, and spicy) Mains: - Camarones Adobadas (shrimp went crazy) - Enchiladas Suizas (the best enchiladas I’ve ever had personally - insane flavor and no soggy corn tortilla taste) Drinks: - Skinny Plata (strong, tequila-forward cocktail that was decent) Desserts: - Tres Leches Cake (ver

I'm not looking for a lot but everything here was great and the staff was accommodating. Vegetarian options, tasty drinks, lovely decor, helpful staff. Really cute interior too. Might be a bit loud. Whatever. Live a little! Also though, don't go with a person who will tell you that you're sweating because you ate spicy and hot food. Also, don't wipe that sweaty brow on them and expect them not to get angry.

Great service, staff are great. Just upstairs is an ice box. They did have heaters. But still had a great time

Fonda is a standout dining experience, masterfully run by Christian and featuring the amazing skills of bartender Alexis. Adrian's service was top-notch, making the visit truly memorable. The food was simply amazing, with each dish showcasing a commitment to quality and flavor. Fonda is more than just a restaurant; it's a place where great food meets excellent service in a welcoming atmosphere. Highly recommended!
