My friends and I dined on a recent Thursday night and found the restaurant and bar area to be fairly quiet. Our server was lovely and gracious from beginning to end. The variety of frozen margaritas had by all were thoroughly enjoyed (although I would highly recommend the Rosalita!). Delish guac and chips to start All four of us loved our entrees (my shrimp dish was excellent). We were stuffed as we waddled out, having closed down Fonda!! Highly recommend!!!

Fonda is our team's absolute favorite go-to spot! The ambiance is warm and inviting, the service is always top-notch, and oh my goodness—the food and drinks are a solid 10/10 every time. A special shoutout to Rosita, our server, who was incredibly personable and attentive—she truly made our experience even more memorable. Highly recommend!

The staff are INCREDIBLY NICE AND SO SO SWEET. One of the best service I’ve experienced. They truly care and are warm. Thank you so much to the waiters and staff for the very tasty food and being so kind. The proportions were good for the price. We will be back!
