Zoe Carey

The margaritas here are EXCELLENT. Great happy hour too but make sure you sit at the bar , as happy hour prices don't apply at the tables.

The Corcoran Group

In our opinion, the best Mexican in Brooklyn. The shrimp and scallop enchiladas are perfect, and the pork adobo is a must-order dish as well . Awesome happy hour specials too!

Gothamist

Authentic , flavorful Mexican food . Great happy hour has $5 margaritas , $3 wine/beer, and $5 snacks . Pro tip: In summer there's a backyard for sipping frozen hibiscus margaritas w/ a spicy-salty rim.

Scott Kleinberg

One of the best Mexican spots in Brooklyn. Amazing drinks, food and service. Be sure to make a reservation .

Mikael Wagner

Visiting friends in Brooklyn having a relaxing experience. This gem made me like Mexican food again. I had mole enchiladas and we shared guacamole . They're veggie peeps and their meals were fantastic.

Mia Bonhomme

best guacamole ever. queso fundido , carne asada & filet taquitos , sandia margarita , banana bread pudding , salted caramel ice cream & brownie ALL amazing! exceptional service .

Laura

Drinks are delicious & unique. The food was superb - the beef was tender, the plantains were perfect. The ambiance was romantic at night in the backyard . New favorite place!

Vanessa V.

Do yourself a favor and go to Fonda for brunch . Holy guacamole . Try the rancheros divorciados and ask them to scramble your eggs . And don't forget to ask for extra tortillas for your beans and guac !

Angie

Queso fundido app is to die for as are the enchiladas suizas which were not too spicy and super creamy. Can't wait to come back for brunch !

Aurora Thornhill

The Mexican brunch here is delicious, but it's not the same with Steven. He is THE BEST waiter at either Fonda establishment (Manhattan or Brooklyn). He can currently be found on Sunday at Fonda BK.

Joyce

Great happy hour but you need to sit by the bar ! Mezcalita and mushrooms quesadillas are great. Guacamole is also good for sharing :)

Emily W

Delicious brunch ! Perfect for hangovers. Favorite dish is the huevos divorciados. You can get dishes without the bacon/chorizo.

Nastya M

Delicious, welcoming, good local spot . Though it’s almost impossible to spend less then $150 (tips included) for a dinner for 3 (2 parents, 1 kid)

If you love enchiladas or chilaquiles , Fonda is the place to visit. The enchilada with poblano mole sauce and the creamy pasilla chailaquiles are just 2 of the dishes that would make anyone come back.

Trevor Rogers

We eat dinner here way too often. I am addicted to the pollo norteño and guacamole . The drinks are also on point. So good!

Mary M Motta

Guacamole was good - a single portion (meant to serve 2 people) was enough as an appetizer for 4 of us, since we all ordered entrees for meals. it's pricey all around the menu, but you do quality.

Stephanie P.

The Rosalita is delicious, the happy hour bar food is okaaaaay, tasty for what it is but small portions and tacos and mini-quesadillas are the same exact thing except that quesadillas are pressed.

Susan C.

Legit queso fundido , delicious margaritas (my favorite is hibiscus ) and sophisticated sauces in the entrees.

John

Tostadas de Carne, Flautas de Pollo & do not pass on the dessert Tres Leches . The Tres Leches will change your life!

Monday Lisa

Nice upscale Mexican joint in the Slope. Great gauc. I enjoyed the duck zarape, though it was a bit too salty.

Ingrid Stenquist

Get the braised brisket , carne Asada or pork adobo . Everything is amazing. Drinks strooooong! Tres leche divine.

William Johnson

Best Mexican I've had in NYC. Quality everything, wish I could be more specific but I mean everything.

Christine L

The best happy hour margaritas that will leave you questioning the next morning how you made it home.

Ashley Rudolph

Come during happy hour ! Sit at the bar and enjoy half priced margs and cheap appetizers .

Vicky D.

Tamarindo margharita will kick your ass! Guac was good.. Everything pay is some heat! Would go again! Strong drinks !!

eric bornemann

Decent “fancy ” Mexican in the Slope. A bit priceyer than it should be but good guacamole and a nice outdoor brunch .

Jess Harris

The food and servers were excellent but the general manager was a major dbag . He came over to our table after a server moved us outside and accused us of moving ourselves in front of everyone.

Sabrina

Had a very reasonably priced Valentine's Day pre-fixe dinner for $100 including wine , beer and margs .

Sumit Satarkar

Spicy pineapple Margarita is delicious & stuffed Poblano peppers are really good

Matthew Breuer

extremely slept on, really strong menu top to bottom & outsized portions for an upscale Mexican restaurant

Jake Levine

Guac is typically expensive but amazing. Perfect chip/tortilla to guac ratio.

Warren Cohen

Holy mole as well ! The oaxacaqueno mole was one of the best Mexican dishes I have ever had. Hugely recommended.

Jason Brew

Nice patio out back. Be sure to get a table out there on a sunny day

Damian Bayona

Very delicious guacamole and fresh, handmade tortillas . Entrees are heavy on the cheese .

Jess Mireau

Hard to decide whats better: brunch or happy hour . Both are pretty amazing.

Matt Windsor

1 Guac to share + 1 cocktail and 3 beer + 6 (pieces) fish tacos = $100 plus tip (not cheap )

Carolyn Weiss

Amazing tacos , interesting specials and tasty brunch .

Lauri ✌????️ Borén

Great margaritas , really good Mexican food . Also, good soup .

Dean Carey

Margarita's (Rosalita 's) are AMAZING. The Guac is also ON POINT

Julie Banning

Pork Carnitas

Meg Lewis

Spectacular brunch ! The huevos rancheros is the best I've ever had.

rich masio

I keep going back. Everything is a+

Shawn Lauzon

Come for the happy hour , every day starting at 4, til 7 during the week and 6 other times.

Erin Tao

Shrimp and scallops with hazelnut chipotle mole = To die for. Woooow.

James C

Great service awesome food. Drinks that you can't say no to. Well worth a visit.

Rubina Fillion

The quality of food is comparable to Rosa Mexicana. The mole enchiladas are the best I've ever had.

Anthony

good food. good drinks. TERRIBLE SERVICE. the ambiance is nonexistent. the waiters are slow and careless. one of them yelled at us because he thought we were being impatient but he misheard us.

Gene Buerkle

Busy on Fridays during the summer when the back yard space is open. Expect slower service, especially from the bar (only one person).

Vlada Mashkovich

Chilaquiles is so good!

Mary Somers

The brunch is great- try the huevos rancheros with rosalita cocktail (hibiscus margarita )
