One of the better Mexican restaurants I have tried in recent memory. The Margaritas were outstanding (and 1/2 price on Thursday) and the Pollo en Mole was a great entree. Even the chips and salsa were a notch above. Recommended!
Lovely service and excellent food! Go Thursday night to hear Patty Ortega. Great voice lovely songs in Spanish with volume low enough to still enjoy your dinner and your conversation. Intimate venue. Patty sings from 6-8. Enjoy!

Great ambiance. Very authentic Mexican food. Had the ceviche, excellent. Had 3 different tacos, all good, chicken tinga my favorite. Loved the live music and the kind wait-staff. I believe they will do well.
The appetizers, ceviche and guacamole, were delicious. Nice balance between the shrimp onion and mango and the guac was fresh and well seasoned. The fresh tortilla chips were also fantastic. The drinks were a little too sweet and didn't feature the flavors of the tequila in the side car or the mezcal in the margarita enough. The margarita mix didn't taste fresh. The three of us really enjoyed our main courses. Barbacoa was perfectly cooked, tender and had a wonderful smokiness to it. My wife said her salad was excellent, very fresh, great dressing, and the salmon she ordered was cooked perfectly. For dessert, we ordered the flan which was a little overdone, but still tasty. Our waiter seemed to be distracted and the service was slow. The hostess was inviting and welcoming. With food this good, FONDA just needs to tighten up the operations and make sure that the dining experience is as good as their food. They should expand their menu a bit, as there weren't a ton of choices. Feature more tequilas and make sure the tequila and Mezcals are the stars of their drinks! Fingers crossed they can accomplish all this! It really has a chance to be a great, not just good, restaurant!
We love this place. The food and service have always been on point. I've especially enjoyed the margaritas, ceviche, salmon and carne asada. It my teen daughter's new favorite place.

We came for the Thursday night singer, which was lovely. Also had the restaurant anniversary small bites for a dollar apiece and the half-price margaritas. A real deal. Food was tasty.
Even though it was super busy bc of Valentines , service was spot on. Everybody was working so hard to accommodate every table. Food was delicious. We love the fact that it's family run. Everyone is so cordial and pleasant. We keep going back for more. We like sitting at the bar also, Jackie, the bartender is friendly and sweet And efficient. Give it a try!

I love the feel of the place. You dont have to be dressed up but it feels intimate and elegant. The service is great and food is amazing. I tried their restaurant week menu. You get 2 choices for each course so its easy to make a decision. I did Sope, Pescada, and Flan. Everything was perfect! Cooked and seasoned perfectly. Their flan is a Must Try! Its seriously sooo good. Creamy with a hint of citrus flavor. Will definitely be coming back. Happy Eating!

I ordered the Ensalada Cesar. It's essentially Romaine lettuce, dressing and a bag of Frito's chips on top. Well, maybe a bag and a half. Rounding up to 4 stars.

I came here for restaurant week with my husband and cousin and it was good. My husband on the other hand would say it was just okay. Started with the pozole and it was absolutely delicious. I think it was the best thing on their restaurant week menu. My husband got the sopa de tinga and let's say he wasn't happy. It was SO SO tiny. The tortilla was really hard to chew. For the entree I got the pescado blanco, the jalapeño dressing was absolutely delicious that came with it. My husband and cousin got the barbacoa de res. Both entrees were overly salty though. Lastly for dessert I got the tres leches which could've been more soaked with the milks. And my husband got the flan which was very very creamy. The place got really busy after 7 but the service was really quick. Loved the start of chips and three types of salsa.
