Feedback
Fonda restaurant has been a longtime favorite among Mexican food enthusiasts, but recent visits have left some customers disappointed. Issues with service and lack of side accompaniments were noted, along with overpacked seating and high prices for small portions. However, some customers still found highlights in the food, drinks, and overall experience. The space is small, so reservations are recommended, but the quality of the food and drinks received praise. Despite some hiccups with service and pricing, overall feedback on Fonda seems to be mixed with a range of experiences encountered by patrons.
Experience was everything! The food was amazing and the drinks were even better.. sat at the bar and the bartender was soo nice and helpful with recommendations. To start we had the Al pastor tacos and Croquetas. The mojito was so refreshing I had two and the watermelon margarita was delicious as well. The enchiladas de mole were made to perfection with the side of sweet plantain and esquite it definitely hit the spot. For dessert had the tres leches and a caramel
Dinner at Fonda is always a good decision. The chips and guacamole are always excellent (try it spicy! and the enchiladas suizas are the best in New York City. The flavor is so rich. The backyard seating is very nice and has great date night ambiance. The drinks are awesome too my favorite is the rosalita.
Got a couple of drinks. Rosalita was strong and good. The La Piñata was also pretty good. The guac was very small, and served in a weird stone mortar with tons of holes that the guac would fill up. The chips were a bit stale. For $15 guac, it?s definitely not good enough in size or taste. The enchiladas suizas was good as well as the enchiladas de mole. The service was pretty bad, server would check in on the few tables around us then disappear for over 10 min. We had to
The tortilla soup was pretty bland and the chicken tacos I didn’t eat after the first bite, had my friends try them just in case it was just my taste palette, but they also agreed, they weren’t very good. On the bright side, the Carnitas were absolutely delicious, and the Carne Asada with mushrooms was also a standout dish. As for drinks, I’m a margarita snob, and honestly the regular margaritas were way better than the Cadillac margaritas. Food: 3 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 4
Three of us stopped by this restaurant for a late weekday dinner, around 9–10 PM. It wasn’t very crowded, and we were seated right away. I wasn’t too hungry, so I ordered a bowl of guacamole served with pita chips and corn tortillas. It was fresh, with onion and cilantro, but nothing special—just a very standard guac. (I’ll admit I’m picky about Mexican food, having tried some of the best spots in Mexico City, so take that as a judgmental note! My vegetarian friend ordered an enchilada and was satisfied, while another friend got a cheese fondue-style dish, served sizzling with toppings, which he enjoyed. The ambience was pleasant, and the service was good. That said, I was hoping for some street-style tacos, but the menu didn’t have them, and the server couldn’t confirm. Overall, it was an okay experience—my guacamole was fine but very basic. Food: 3 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 4 Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $20–30
