In our opinion, the best Mexican in Brooklyn. The shrimp and scallopenchiladas are perfect, and the pork adobo is a must-order dish as well. Awesome happy hour specials too!
Authentic, flavorful Mexican food. Great happy hour has $5 margaritas, $3 wine/beer, and $5 snacks. Pro tip: In summer there's a backyard for sipping frozen hibiscus margaritas w/ a spicy-salty rim.
Visiting friends in Brooklyn having a relaxing experience. This gem made me like Mexican food again. I had mole enchiladas and we shared guacamole. They're veggie peeps and their meals were fantastic.
Drinks are delicious & unique. The food was superb - the beef was tender, the plantains were perfect. The ambiance was romantic at night in the backyard. New favorite place!
Do yourself a favor and go to Fonda for brunch. Holy guacamole. Try the rancheros divorciados and ask them to scramble your eggs. And don't forget to ask for extra tortillas for your beans and guac!
The Mexican brunch here is delicious, but it's not the same with Steven. He is THE BEST waiter at either Fonda establishment (Manhattan or Brooklyn). He can currently be found on Sunday at Fonda BK.
The Rosalita is delicious, the happy hour bar food is okaaaaay, tasty for what it is but small portions and tacos and mini-quesadillas are the same exact thing except that quesadillas are pressed.
If you love enchiladas or chilaquiles, Fonda is the place to visit. The enchilada with poblanomole sauce and the creamy pasilla chailaquiles are just 2 of the dishes that would make anyone come back.
The food and servers were excellent but the general manager was a major dbag. He came over to our table after a server moved us outside and accused us of moving ourselves in front of everyone.
Guacamole was good - a single portion (meant to serve 2 people) was enough as an appetizer for 4 of us, since we all ordered entrees for meals. it's pricey all around the menu, but you do quality.
Really surprised that the chef refused to put sauce on the side simply because of the “aesthetic” of the dish. I’m sorry we even asked b/c the rest of our food sucked & I feel like it was on purpose.
good food. good drinks. TERRIBLE SERVICE. the ambiance is nonexistent. the waiters are slow and careless. one of them yelled at us because he thought we were being impatient but he misheard us.
