This was our first at this restaurant of my wife's Birthday, mind you it Cinco de Mayo. The host placed us at the back of the restaurant with one chair 'in the walkway to the kitchen. He was upset when we asked for a different table, but did give us another table as long as we could eat in 1.5 hours. Our server was very good, food came out fast and was good for the most part. My carnitas were mainly fat and very greasy. The home made blue corn tortillas were great, as well the drinks. The guacamole was good but very little of it. When it came close to our time to leave (right at the 1.5 hours) they had pretty much cleared our table trying to push us out. I am a Californian and have been looking for good Mexican food here in Brooklyn, but not sure if this is it.

When I last visited Fonda more than ten years ago is was a good to excellent experience. Most recently it was excellent to superb! Strong drinks, magnificent tequila selection, great guacamole, satisfying entrees and sweet desserts make me yearn to return. The line of hungry potential diners on Friday evening apparently felt the same way.

Fantastic Mexican food in Park Slope. Their brunch special offers a decent value if you are interested in going the boozy route. However, you can get anything a la carte and you won't be disappointed.

I love Fonda, have been there many times, and we had a lovely meal in the back garden. The food was very spicy - not sure if there is a new chef. I might have ordered differently if I had known. I will say that the host seemed confused about Covid regulations and seemed to think vaccinations were no longer required for indoor seating in NYC. The city needs to do a better communications job on these issues!
