The Scene – The lively space feels like a spacious hacienda in the Mexican highlands, with dark woods, leather and warm colors. Paintings by Mexican artists and large tin lanterns hang throughout. A front lounge has sitting areas with couches that invite diners to relax with a Latin cocktail (try the pisco sour or mojito) before their meal and a back bar bustles with the energy of a Mexican resort town. Service is affable, but shows signs of the thinning of talent often found in a fast-growing town. – – The Food – The sopa de elote (cheesy corn soup) has a deep flavor,…

Dinner experience
by LindaZ
We recently went here for a birthday celebration. I had heard it was pricey, but it was really too expensive for what you get. I don't like to have to ask what the price is for a particular dish and there you have to ask about the entire fish section. The food was good as far as I was concerned, but everyone else said it was just "OK". Some had the fajitas and said they were no better than any other Mexican restaurant, but double the price. We had margaritas and I was amazed that they would serve them in wine glasses!!! Get real. There were a few sips for $9 and by the way, "happy hour prices" are ONLY at the bar. I don't think we will go back any time soon, sorry to say. I had hoped for a much better experience.
- Pros: Beautiful, great atmosphere
- Cons: Price and margaritas

great brunch
by gourmetgirl2
if you like authentic mexican food, you'll love fonda. the ambiance is great, although a little loud. the food is very good and the price reflects that and then some. Its a little pricey considering i'm not a huge fan of mexican, i probably wouldn't go back. But i enjoyed going there for brunch.
- Pros: very nice, good food
- Cons: very pricey, you have to really love mexican food to get your moneys worth

Authentic Mexican Food
by LincolnLogs
Excellent authentic Mexican (not Tex-Mex) food. Prompt curteous service and wonderful ambience. Food is on the expensive side ($18 Cheese Enchiladas) but the quality is there. Many daily specials, green choriso made in house. A dining experience.
