This is our neighborhood joint and a favorite...often when we're heading out for the evening, we find it hard to get further than Fonda. The drinks aren't cheap, but they are fresh, tasty and plenty strong. The food is great--try the prawns, duck tacos and especially the mushroom quesadillas (nothing like a quesadilla you'll get in most restaurants, but awesome nonetheless). As some have said, portions aren't big (similar to other small plates places with a cocktail focus), but everything is yummy. The service varies--I would say that this is a place to hang out and enjoy, not a good option for a quick in-and-out meal (although I have sometimes had very rapid service). At any rate, the regular manager/host, Michael, is a great guy who'll go a long way to please. Overall, we always have a laid back, fun time at Fonda and walk away happy.
Pros: Great food, Nice staff, Great drinks
Cons: Gets busy, Service Varies, Not cheap
