LA FONDA RESTAURANT AND BAR

Came here for lunch and was blown away by the food, service, and vibes! This spot is a somewhat hidden treasure for the Peninsula, food is super fresh and flavorful, your tastebuds will do a dance! In top of the amazing food, the artwork is incredible. You can tell that those who work at this establishment rightfully have a lot of pride in this place. Highly recommend La Fonda!

The food here was some of the best Mexican that I've had in a long time, especially in the peninsula. Service was excellent, with the waitress giving us spot-on recommendations. Atmosphere is light and jovial. Will be back!

Excellent Mexican. Try the gorditas, plato arrachera, and cochinita pibil

Their cocktails are nice but the food is even better

Had a great dinner and cocktails. The guacamole was good and had a kick!

I really enjoyed the food, it’s pretty much authentic. The huarache is a good portion maybe good to share. The gorditas, as appetizer, are delicious. We also tried the churros and, personally liked them, they were warm and crunchy. La pinche vida cocktail is refreshing, maybe too much ice cubes. The service was excellent, our waitress was fantastic, she was practically taking the orders of the whole restaurant and making the drinks, she was like everywhere, and pretty friendly and likeable. It really feels like home in Mexico. We definitely will come back again.
Como si estuviera realmente en una Fondita de México. Definitivamente volveremos.

Long list of cocktails and plenty of food options, but you only need to try the chocolate mole with chicken. It's really good.

Plenty of seats at the bar and they have seats upstairs as well.

Parking isn't too bad.

Get in here and try it out parking is tricky but it's worth it.

Parking: This place flies under the radar.

My first time here, it gives you a nice and warm kind of vibe.  The walls were bright and had nice photos and decorationsI ordered:1. Chilaquiles verdes with steak - The steak was tender and chilaquiles cooked perfectly with the egg.  The verde sauce had a kick, where you can't stop eating it.2.  Gorditas de chiccharon -    First time having this, but it was good.  The tortilla was crispy with a light doughiness.  Chicharon was perfectly seasoned. Once you get to the middle, the spiciness hits you.Overall the food was delicious and the lady who took my order was nice.   I will definitely come back to try their other items.   My only complaint would be,  I wish it came with chips.   Something to help balance out the spiciness.
