Fonda has long been one of Park Slope’s most trusted and beloved Mexican restaurants, the kind of place locals return to again and again because the food is consistently delicious, the drinks are excellent, and the atmosphere strikes that perfect balance between lively and comfortable. Tucked along 7th Avenue, just a short walk from Prospect Park, Fonda offers a warm welcome to anyone craving quality Mexican cuisine without the pretense or downtown fuss. The moment you step inside, you’re surrounded by soft lighting, colorful accents, and the inviting buzz of conversation. It feels like the kind of dining room where celebrations come naturally, birthdays, date nights, spontaneous dinners with friends, or simply a night when you want something reliably good. The staff is known for being friendly and attentive, adding to the neighborhood charm that makes Fonda such a fixture in Park Slope. The menu is where Fonda truly shines. Chef Roberto Santibañez brings a thoughtful, elevated approach to Mexican classics, offering dishes that are both deeply flavorful and beautifully plated. The enchiladas suizas, one of the restaurant’s signature dishes, arrive smothered in a creamy tomatillo sauce that regulars rave about. The guacamole is hand-mashed to order, perfectly seasoned, and always a crowd pleaser. The quesadillas and tacos are crafted with care, showcasing fresh ingredients and bold, satisfying flavors. One of Fonda’s most reliable strengths is its consistency. Plates arrive hot, portions are generous, and each dish feels balanced, never too heavy, never under-seasoned. Whether you lean toward slow-cooked meats, vegetarian options, or seafood, the menu has a way of appealing to nearly every palate. And then there’s the drinks. Fonda’s margaritas have achieved near-legendary status in Park Slope, especially the frozen varieties that rotate with seasonal fruit. They’re bright, refreshing, and strong enough to make any evening feel festive. The cocktail list continues the trend, with mezcal drinks, tequila flights, and house creations that elevate the dining experience without overshadowing the food. Weekend brunch is another highlight. Chilaquiles, huevos rancheros, and savory breakfast specialties bring out cheerful crowds, especially on warm days when the outdoor seating fills with families, couples, and friends enjoying long, lazy meals in the sun. Brunch cocktails, from bloody marias to mimosas, help keep the atmosphere lively. For travelers staying at Prospect Park Stays in Windsor Terrace, Fonda is incredibly convenient.
