I ordered the tacos and they were very tasty! The beef and lamb are totally worth a try. This is not a fancy place but if you feel Like having a drink and some quick and good meal, you just drop by.

Since Mercado closed, this may be the only Mexican restaurant in the city if I'm not mistaken. Located on the roof of Sarit Mall along with a number of other restaurants, the location is pretty nice when the sun is shining. Plenty of craft breweries to have a drink at afterwards if you so desire it. I went for the lamb taco and the chorizo and potato enchilada. Both pretty good. If I had known it was "buy 2 tacos, get one free" Monday I would have done that, but I didn't see the special in time. The food came out fairly fast considering I arrived at opening time. It came with four different sauces and I also ordered some refried beans to go with it. I was hoping to get a stout craft beer I had seen people posting about here in the past but they no longer serve craft beers. I then tried to get a horchata but it wasn't ready yet as they had just opened. Instead I got a passion-orange drink which was perfectly fine. For dessert I ordered a choco flan (the only dessert available at the time) which was very nice and fortunately for me was sweet but definitely not overly sweet. Overall, it's pretty good. I recommend coming here later in the afternoon or early evening when everything is prepared and there is probably more of an atmosphere. The restaurant itself is nicely decorated and they play appropriate music to make you feel like you're in Mexico. I'll definitely come back some time to try more of their dishes. Well worth a try if you're here in Nairobi and either want to try something new or just get your Mexican food fix. Recommended.

Fonda’s is a great spot for Mexican food, especially if you love good margaritas. The menu has a variety of tasty Mexican options, the staff are friendly, and the owner is very hospitable, which adds a nice personal touch. Service can be a bit slow during peak periods, but the overall experience is still enjoyable. A good place to go for relaxed vibes, flavorful food, and solid drinks.

I was pleasantly surprised by how good the food was here. We had enchiladas and tacos and they were both good. Their homemade tortilla chips were great. Their Margaritas were okay, and our waiter was very good and attentive.

I had high hopes, but I was a bit disappointed. While the flavor of everything was excellent, the meats in all the tacos seemed a bit dry. We all noticed the same issue. The vibe and service were great, and the flavors were on point, but the food needs to be cooked better 😞

Had some of the most amazing tacos here. The waiter was really awesome and responded to all the questions we had to ask about the sauces. The atmosphere was pretty cool too, loved all the colour and Mexican music being played. Loved it! Cannot wait to return and explore the rest of the menu.

The food 10/10. Served by Jeff his service is 10/10 he’s cool from interaction to suggestion now I can say I had a full Mexican experience. And a great food experience considering I’m a pescatarian
