The food and service were both exceptional. They made a beautiful chocolate cake to celebrate my son's graduation. I would highly recommend Fonda Cantina. It is a wonderful authentic Mexican restaurant. We all loved it. Thank you!

I had a dinner party for 16 in the private room. It was a great success. Everyone ordered whatever they wanted. I had several appetizers pre-ordered to accompany individual drinks. The waitstaff worked smoothly... so Pleasant.

The food ( and the tequila) were fantastic. This was a very special meal. The mollets were delicious as a passed appetizer. We knew of cochinita and even pollo pibil but never halibut, and had never trued mole blanco. Bravo!
