What People Are Saying About Fonda
The Editor
Alexis Korman
Citysearch
In this slim, red-walled Brooklyn eatery, Mexico City-born chef Roberto Santibañez (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).

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
