What People Are Saying About Fonda

The Editor

Alexis Korman

Citysearch

In this slim, red-walled Brooklyn eatery, Mexico City-born chef Roberto SantibaƱez (formerly of Rosa Mexicana) turns out upscale, perfectly portioned south-of-the-border meals to eager locals willing to fight for a seat. Luckily, a large outdoor garden space accommodates the spillover crowd--while strong margaritas soothe long waits at the bar. Must-try items include the made-to-order guacamole (served with chips and handmade corn tortillas), tangy enchiladas suizas, and refreshing salpicon (crispy fish with cilantro and chiles).

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

Best Mexican Food in the Slope

by buckford at Citysearch

We couldn't park anywhere near 5 Guys one night so we drove a little farther down 7th ave. to a relatively new mexican restaurant my wife had heard good things about.

It was a beautiful evening so we were happy we could sit in the back garden.

Fresh mada guacamole, chips and salsa got our night off just right.

A couple of small bowls of some kind of hot sauces arrived on the table and were fantastic with the guac. Really heated things up nicely.

As soon as I finished my soda our waiter whisked away the empty glass and returned quickly with a new one. No words were spoken...how did he know?! Were they just trying to pump up the bar tab?

I wish I could remember what my wife had because it was AWESOME!

I had the burger with tasty mexican toppings and thought it was the best I'd ever had. (Look out 5 Guys!)

The fries were excellent dipped in those mystery sauces I mentioned earlier.

The whole experience was great and we can't wait to go back.

btw... free refills on the soda!

  • Pros: Great service! Great garden seating! Great food!
  • Cons: None
