    This visit was not one of our best. It took us a long time to be served. And we ordered as soon as we could. Drinks 20 minutes meal one hour plus. Sad for our favorite local restaurant.

    I was super excited to try Fonda but the experience was very so-so. First, I acknowledge we went on Mother's Day so they were very busy. We got there at our reservation time and checked in, the host said it'd be a 10 min wait. After 30 mins I went back up to the host stand and he had forgotten about us. Once we were seated, we were told the kitchen was backed up. It took over an hour for our food to arrive after we had ordered... they did give us complimentary rice and beans but the whole operation was really a mess. It's pretty expensive for the operations to be so poor. The food was delicious, but I would not recommend to a friend on a weekend night, holiday, or someone that has any kind of problem waiting.

    Food was great. The seating in the dining shed out front was okay, and service may have been slightly slower because we were one of only two groups out front. But everyone was friendly, and the food was delicious.

    Due to having an infant at our table and there was not being enough room inside, we had to move outside-- more our fault than theirs. No matter, we were told it would be warm. But there was a gap in the plexiglass of the outside enclosure that just let in the super cold air. Those of us sitting next to the plexiglass were freezing and it quickly made our food cold. Close that gap in the plexiglass and it would've been toasty. Fonda is too expensive to let an oversight like this pass.

    Food, as always, was awesome. I have never had a bad meal here. Unfortunately, the space is often just too crowded. And I don't mean too many people, I mean you are literally sitting on top of the table next to you. They have least one too many tables in here. It was so uncomfortable it really took away from a special dinner. I was pretty disappointed in the experience.

    Overpacked and overpriced for the quality. Took us 20 minutes to get our reserved seats, which were at a table crammed into a corner in the backyard behind a 10+ birthday party so the server could barely get to us. Music was so loud inside, but no music at all outside so you could hear every single other conversation in the backyard, which was worsened by the fact everyone is sitting on top of each other. Food took nearly an hour to arrive, seemed like the kitchen was having a little trouble keeping up with the aforementioned overpacked crowd. Spicy guacamole and soft tortillas were really good to start, the mole for the chicken enchiladas was a delicious flavor, only knock on the food is the carnitas were slightly dry and chewy. Carnitas should have every bite bursting with moist, juicy, porky, tender flavor melting in your mouth. Still good, but disappointing for a $25 dish when I can get similar carnitas at a taco truck. Lastly, we ordered a reposado mezcal and the drink brought out was 100% blanco as in completely clear liquid and did not taste barrel-aged. When I brought this up to the server we were told we were wrong and ended up paying for the pricier reposado. Only when my girlfriend brought this up again to the waiter on our way out was he kind enough to offer us free shots of the reposado, which this time clearly looked and tasted barrel aged. Silly to write this all out, but it was a weird ordeal and overall not my favorite dining experience.

    It’s a lovely fall evening and Fonda always feels special - the way you’re being taken care of from the moment you enter it to the moment the food is served. Please have some guac with chicharrones - it is crackling when you put some guac on it and add that magic smoky sauce, guava juice and tacos - you will leave full and happy!
