Fonda Reviews
Fonda is the gem of Solano Ave! Go!
Friendly Staff. Great food and drinks. Its pretty busy and we never felt rushed! The tiramisu martini was delicious!
A couple weeks back, I finally made it out Berkeley to hang out with d and check out her new digs. Her place was dope; one of those "houses" we don't see too often in SF.
We decided to try Fonda, a Latin American tapas restaurant on Solano Avenue in Albany. It was bustling for a Tue night: downstairs was crowded with locals enjoying cocktails, wine, and tapas as we climbed upstairs to enjoy our meal in a quieter area.

Fonda, an Albany tapas restaurant, offers an appetizing collection of bar bites and craft cocktails, particularly during their Happy Hour. The restaurant's stylish ambiance and efficient service make it a popular spot among regulars. The $13 Margarita del Jefe and the $14 Aperitif Sour are standout drinks, while the $8 Fonda Wings and the $14 Duck Tacos are delectable small plates. Many customers enjoy the cozy interior and the friendly, attentive service. One server, Kristi, is often praised for making guests feel cared about and important. The upstairs area used to be more intimate, but it is no longer open to the public. The restaurant's hours have varied over time, so it's best to check before visiting. Despite some noticing a decrease in portion sizes and an increase in prices, the overall food quality remains high, with dishes like fried calamari receiving high praise. Fonda continues to be a go-to place for great drinks, good food, and fun conversations, especially during the lively Happy Hour.
