"Fonda is located on a quiet side street, part of a mini-chainlet of great Mexican restaurants that trace their lineage to Austin’s Fonda San Miguel. Recipes come from all corners of Mexico, with a particularly rich tortilla soup, a watermelon salad with bouncy Oaxacan cheese, and large pork carnitas served with shredded onions and charro beans." - Robert Sietsema
"Fonda is a great place to have on standby. That sounds like we’re comparing it to an empty seat on a flight that no one wanted. But what we’re actually saying is that the reliable Mexican food and versatile setting make Fonda an easy choice for pretty much any situation. Looking to celebrate something? The piñatas create a festive atmosphere. Want to blow off steam after your boss took credit for your work again? They have Happy Hour every day. Chef Roberto Santibañez sometimes puts special items on the menu, with proceeds benefiting LGBTQ+ organizations like SAGE, which supports elders in the queer community." - Kenny Yang, Carina Finn Koeppicus, Bryan Kim, Neha Talreja, Nikko Duren
"Fonda is a great place to have on standby. That sounds like we’re comparing it to an empty seat on a flight that no one wanted. But what we’re actually saying is that the reliable Mexican food and versatile setting make Fonda an easy choice for pretty much any situation. Need a last-minute table? Usually not a problem. Looking to celebrate something? The colorful banners and piñatas make for a festive atmosphere. Want to blow off steam after your boss took credit for your work again? They have Happy Hour every day. The next time you need to quickly pick a restaurant in Tribeca, choose Fonda (they’re also in Chelsea and Park Slope). Then order the chunky guacamole, and add chicharrones. photo credit: Rachel Vanni" - Kenny Yang
"Fonda Tribeca is certainly up there among the better upscale Mexican restaurants in town, but rather than emulating modern Mexico City fare, it chooses to present sterling versions of historic recipes. One of the chief pleasures for me was enjoying the work of a chef more than 20 years after I’d first admired his cooking." - Robert Sietsema
