"Named one of Eater’s 11 Best New Restaurants in America back in 2021, Sanford’s Fonda Lupita has heeded the calls from fans and opened a second location in Durham’s Brightleaf Square. The homestyle cooking of owner Biridiana Frausto’s family’s home state of Querétaro, Mexico, fills the menu, as in the original location. Slowly braised meats and stews are served as tacos, gorditas, quesadillas, and more. When the menudo is on the menu, it’s a must-order." - Matt Lardie
