"This is the East Village location of a good Park Slope Mexican restaurant. Like the original, it’s also a great place to eat quality Mexican food with your friends. There’s no backyard here, but when the weather is nice, there’s some sidewalk seating out front. Keep in mind that this spot tends to get busy during brunch, so you should probably make a reservation." - Nikko Duren

"Mexico City native and chef Roberto Santibanez runs three well-loved outposts of Fonda, in Park Slope and Chelsea in addition to the East Village. The trifecta of locations serve as solid neighborhood favorites that are strong enough to seek out even if there isn’t a location right nearby, with a range dishes such as tacos, salads, skillet-based fajita-style entrees, and enchiladas swathed in rich Oaxacan mole." - Alexandra Ilyashov

I love this place! I come for almost every restaurant week (for some reason I’ve never come on a non-restaurant week day, but I totally would)! The carne asada is consistently amazing. They also have the best guacamole in the city. The duck appetizer might be the reason I usually come for restaurant week; I can’t remember if it’s on the regular menu. But if it is, I’ll be back soon!

These guys do a great bottomless brunch, it goes for 1.5hrs and is around $35 - and well worth it. I've been here twice - once for bottomless brunch and the other time just for a brunch meal - and both times the meals were a really good size! If you're drinking, treat yourself to the Frozen Hibiscus Rosalita, it's great. IG: @easty_eats

*Brunch Review* $36 bottomless brunch or $16 for an entree a la carte and $7 drinks. Not that many options. They only really had the banana pancake style brioche for true brunch food and the rest were normal Mexican entrees, so probably better for lunch than brunch. The drinks looked good but it was a little early for cocktails. Overall, great atmosphere, nice staff, fun spot, and beautiful food presentation, but I thought it looked better than it tasted. I didn’t love my meal (the Pan Frances) especially for the price, but my friends liked theirs and we still had a good time. I probably wouldn’t go back for brunch, but maybe for happy hour or dinner.

Good location for bottomless brunch on the weekend. Endless refills including margaritas!! Guacamole and chips were delicious- you see them freshly grind up the avocados near the bar.

Came here for brunch with some friends and was blown away. Everything was perfect, the service was great can't wait to come back here! The steak was amazing!

Food is mediocre at best, it's very loud and the service was lackluster. I mean if it was less expensive id have let it fly, but for the prices they're charging it was just really bad. I had the scrambled eggs with the black beans brunch menu dish and it had no flavor whatsoever. It was supposed to come with a green sauce but they just put a few drops on the plate for decoration. It was also not very good green sauce so I didn't bother to ask for more.

A buzzing spot with a busy, intimate vibe. Good for friends & couples! I ordered La Piñata for drinks & it was excellent! The tacos were kinda salty though and sit heavy on the stomach. It’s also relatively easy to get seats on Friday/Saturday without reservation, which is definitely a bonus.

They have an two page menu for vegetarian food. Two whole page! My mind was blown. I set a new record for the longest time I've ever spent deciding what I want. The huge guacamole and chips comes freshly prepared with small soft tortillas along with the chips and salsa and is a must try. It's high on lime and flavor though their spicy option didn't stand up to its name. Their red enchilada sauce was the freshest I've ever tasted. The chiles relleno uses the same sauce and was good too. Wouldn't recommend the corn dish on the side. It was surprisingly easy to get a dinner reservation for 9pm on Saturday by calling 30 minutes in advance. It's a bit on the expensive side and the entrées aren't great enough to justify the price. Would come back for guacamole or to try their bottomless brunch. The service was quick but we felt like they were in a hurry to have us finish. But nothing you wouldn't expect on a Saturday night from most popular restaurants.
