   The menu is hard to understand. We asked the waitress and she seemed annoyed. Made us feel like we shouldn’t be there if we weren’t familiar with the menu. We weren’t even finished asking questions and she walked away. We love trying new restaurants and spend a lot of money on mostly fine dining but we definitely will never be back.

   The food was absolutely delicious. The meat was soft and juicy and the potatoes were phenomenal. The location is lovely. We will be recommending it to our family.

   Amazing food! Our server was very knowledgeable, though he was a bit forward with his recommendations and sort of made it less enjoyable in that sense. The food did seem to take a bit of time to come out as it was prepared in courses but the flavours and presentation were all very good.

    Service is very slow. Server took over 10 minutes to take a drink order. We ordered drinks and food at the same time. Took 20 minutes to get a glass of wine and a bottle of beer. Appetizers arrived before drinks.

    I had a really memorable meal a here! Great service, fun sharing menu (like the salsa sampler!), and super fresh ingredients in all the food and drinks. Can't wait to come back and try the beautiful patio when the weather is nicer!

    This place is so great, I can’t wait to get on the patio! We went for happy hour. The amount of tuna on those tostadas was awesome. Food, cocktails and service were so good. I would come here for any occasion and stand by the recommendation 👌🏽👌🏽

    I hadn't been for awhile. The Endsalada wasn't the same as I remember...the dressing was spicy. The grilled shrimp were served cold, completely unexpected.

    Our dinner reservations was early in the week which worked out rather well because Fonda Fora is less busy . Understanding later in the week it's quite noisy, in this case one can talk and listen to a conversation . The food is outstanding for those who like different flavors from one dish to the next . In addition the service was excellent with a familiar server looking after us and he was very attentive . Thank you for a wonderful evening .

    Such a fantastic experience! I celebrated my birthday with my family and we all had an amazing time. A lot of the options are very shareable so we were all able to try a variety of the menu. Drinks and food were amazing and the server was lovely :) Will definitely be going back very soon!

    Made a reservation for a birthday dinner, the place looked amazing, servers were nice but the food was not good at all. I’d say below average. They did not acknowledge the birthday celebration which was very disappointing. Overall, I dont recommend this place due to food quality.

    First time dining here. Server had some difficulty explaining the menu and answering our questions. Some of that could be due to our unfamiliarity with the ingredients. Food was very tasty. After asking for our leftovers to be packed up we did not see our server for about 15 minutes. We were able to have someone flag her down. Then she brought out the take home bag and only then asked about dessert or to settle the bill. Bit of a confusion near the end of the meal. Would give this place another go

    Had the half roasted chicken which the server suggested suitable for "family style" dining aka sharing which it was. A bit dry but overall a good dish with generous portion of potatoes with just the right heat. Pickles to salty and not a good accompaniment. My wife had a shrimp dish with small portions. Classic margaritas where meh...juice base needed more zing and an ounce of less of tequila. Wine by the glass very overpriced but thats what you get from a hotel restaurant. Service not very attentive.

    this was our 3rd visit for dinner and it fell quite short of the mark.when my wife and I arrived we were promptly attended to and we were offered a table outside for one inside. We chose the outside. shortly after being seated our waiter showed up and he asked if it was our first time and would we like something to drink. we each ordered a drink and told him had not looked at the food offerings. he left and returned shortly with our drinks. He clarified a couple points on the menu and we ordered our food (5 appetizers to share. The food arrived and it was very tasty. HE came by and my wife requested another glass of wine. About 10 minutes went and she had yet to receive her wine nor had we rec'd our 5th appetizer. no sign of the waiter. my wife then proceeded to the bar in search of a glass of wine as she returned our waiter showed up, I explained what had happened with respect to the wine and did not pursue the appetizer as my wife and I. had decided we no longer wanted it. the waiter left to retrive the glass of wine. When he returned with the wine, no apology was offered Shortly after the hostess who sat us came by and asked if we wanted anything else. We said no, just the bill". at least 15 minutes went by and no one came by to collect payment. we got up proceeded to the bar area in search of someone we could pay. we were given a bill, which I reviewed and found it to be accura. We had not been charged for the 5th item.. While I was paying the bill my wife was approached by the Dining room Mgr, he asked how we enjoyed our evening and she explained our experience an he seemed indifferent. It remains to be seen whether or not we go back. It is a shame as the food is very good.

    Server was wonderful. Shared appy’s and small plates (tuna tostado, guacamole, tamales, beet and citrus salad) were delicious. Shrimp main was alright but the tortillas were cold. Cocktails were yummy. Only complaint is that live jazz band was very loud and when it started, having a conversation was nearly impossible.

    I have been to Fonda Fora a few times and what I like are the creative changes made to the menu . The flavors a super in all their dishes making it for me and my friends a unique food experience . The ambiance is also interesting aside from being too noisy at times . A restaurant in the city which is very different from many others .
