Fish tacos are always delish! Pork tacos are even betterrrr. Weekends are busy so be prepared to line up a little to order.

Fish taco is OHMYGOD! chicken burrito is fantastic and the guacamole is delicious... Ahhh I love love love Fonda! Service is super fast as well

Kylie Burton

Mucho bueno! Can't go wrong with anything on the menu, but the beef burrito and taco were a highlight. And the service was ridiculously fast. Outstanding!

Fish taco and fish burrito are winners, also lots of avo comes on the side with the corn chips

The kangaroo burrito with quinoa is a great choice. Charred corn is a winner too. Nice beer selection too.

original joint, and the fish tacos and beef burritos are great

Seemingly the busiest of the fonda's. Fish taco and pork quesadilla is a good combo.

Long wait between my partner's meal arriving and mine. Pretty inappropriate... still, damn amazing food.

Horchata . Liquid dessert :-)

Steve Androulakis

Fish tacos are amazing

Robert Pascale

Not your typical Mexican. If you think it is, you will be disappointed. Everything was fresh and quality, but just not to my expectation. Seating is cramped and strange.

Trish P

Fish tacos all the way

James Finch

Grilled chicken burritos are amazingly succulent!

Hamish Scattermish

Burritos yum, yes, but the tacos are definitely the winners!!

Nicki Graham

Fish tacos are EPIC.

Craig Lawrence

Damn quick service . Gold!

Paul Liddelow

The burritos are over priced. I paid $15 for a beef burrito that had minced beef , not shredded pieces which is what I was led to expect.

Muzaffer Can

Frozen Margharitas . The signature drink of Fonda.

Tracy

Frozen margarita - cocktail of autumn
