What a beautiful and authentic restaurant! The mocktail was delicious, and the drinks weren’t overpriced- the menu varied and unique. Crab ceviche appetizer was a work of art, although I’d have loved it with some hot sauce or fresh lime, maybe salt? There wasn’t any of that on the table.
Only bummer was I asked about a specific dish and whether it had cheese- I mentioned I’m lactose free and he said “oh no cheese.” But the super authentic meat & raisin stuffed pepper was indeed COVERED in a walnut *cream* =dairy cream- sauce! ♀️ not sure how he didn’t put those together when we were ordering. He offered to take it back, but I didn’t want the food to be wasted, and my friend could eat it. So.. I ordered the pork loin mole and had some bites of the filling, avoiding the sauce. Super yummy. It would be great if restaurants just added the little icons next to the dishes regarding things like dairy, wheat, nuts, and shellfish. They did* have icons about shellfish, so- why not all the major allergens? We also ordered the mango habanero agua chile- which was super tasty. However, the prawns were huge & whole- and therefore getting a bite with all the ingredients was impossible. Once I chopped up the shrimp we could enjoy the combined flavors and I ate every last bit. Not sure if that’s the authentic way- but we both mentioned how that didn’t make sense. The service was fast and friendly and the ambiance was dimly-lit lounge vibes, which was great- but no one could read the frilly-font, small-type paper menu without a flashlight!
I loved the antique looking furniture and decor. Overall lovely place- will be back to try more dishes!

While visiting from Arizona for Thanksgiving, my family and I stumbled upon Fonda Del Barrio on our way to another nearby restaurant—and we are so glad we did. The warm, vibrant décor and the incredible aromas drifting from the kitchen instantly drew us in. A quick search confirmed they offered both seafood and margaritas, and our plans changed on the spot.
We were greeted promptly and seated at a spacious table perfect for our group. Our server took our drink orders right away. Two of our children ordered lemonade, which was freshly prepared for them, while the others enjoyed ice-cold Coca-Cola served in classic glass bottles. My husband and I opted for the Mezcalita; which is currently a mezcal and pomegranate margarita, but we had it with Grand Marnier on the side, and it paired beautifully with our meal.
For dessert, we treated ourselves to their unique spin on an Espresso Martini—enhanced with cinnamon—and it was truly one of the best I’ve ever tasted. We ended the evening with an Old Fashioned crafted with a blend of bourbon and mezcal, a surprisingly harmonious combination that was exceptionally delicious.
Fonda Del Barrio turned out to be an unexpected and memorable highlight of our trip, and we left already talking about our next visit. The service was exceptional, and we look forward to trying new dishes the next time we come back.

Fonda Del Barrio has delicious, authentic food with rich flavors and generous portions. Everything tasted fresh and well-seasoned. The staff was friendly and welcoming, and the service was quick. Prices are fair for the quality and amount of food you get. I’d definitely recommend it and would come back again.

All I can say is GO!! The food, drinks, atmosphere, service, live Latin music (Thu-Sat, sometimes Wed and Sun) are all ON POINT. Rudy, Luis, and Favio gave us the absolute best service. My friends and I got several drinks, appetizers, entrees, and desserts tonight and were WOWed by them all. I personally loved the mezcalita, guacamole, huarache, flan de elote, and frutas borrachas most. Yum!
One suggestion for Fonda: please add a tasty plant-based entree. There is so much delicious pre Colombian cuisine that has existed prior to the beef, pork, dairy, etc. that came after Spanish colonization. Indigenous villages in Mexico have some amazingly tasty ancestral recipes, including many that are meat and dairy free

Had a wonderful lunch/brunch today. They have a special brunch menu til 130 or 2 on weekends. We wanted to try one of their specialties on the main menu (Chile en nogada) but it is not available until dinner which starts at 4. We had amazing mole chilaquiles with carnitas (we ended up getting a second order with birria after tasting the first batch). We liked the carnita version more. Best chilaquiles and mole I’ve ever had…loved them as they were not drowning in sauce and thus were crunchy and fresh chips. Also had deep fried tamale served on a bed of yummy black beans. I’d never had one before…it was so good (albeit small portion) Also had guacamole which was OK…needed salt (and lime and onion would have boosted it even more). Service by Fabio was excellent all around. Prices were quite reasonable and atmosphere was nice. Was told they have music after 7 on W thru Sunday. We will definitely go back!!!

¡Todo fue TAN increíble!!! Literally a taste of my childhood! The Aguachile and the Pescado was just so amazing, we didn’t have one dish that wasn’t amazing! Todos los empleados son tan lindos y cariñosos también! We will definitely be returning, the atmosphere is beautiful!!

Tried Fonda Del Barrio for the first time and the food was excellent. The Pollo en Mole de Guayaba was outstanding – rich, flavorful, and truly memorable. The Chile Relleno de Fideo Seco was also tasty and unique, definitely something I’d order again. The only hiccup was the timing of service — we didn’t get drinks or even water until after finishing our first appetizer, and our second appetizer arrived alongside the main course. That said, the staff was friendly, and with food this good, I’m confident they’ll smooth out those small service issues as they settle in. Excited to come back and try more dishes!

Loved our dinner there celebrating my mommas birthday. The staff were so sweet and welcomed us and explained the menu so well and the food DELICIOUS! Everything was so fresh. This is true authentic Mexican food. Fresh ingredients. You can probably tell by the pictures how carefully crafted the food is. We loved the ambiance.
We had the guacamole, mango Habanero aguachile, enfrijoladas, guarache de Camarón, and flan.

Exceptional Mexican place with interesting dishes and stellar service. Salmon appetizer was delicious, as were the fish nuggets. Black beans side was spicy and a generous helping. And the outdoor seating was cushioned, so I’ll definitely be back.

I stopped in for openning night and was glad I did. I had chips with 3 kinds of salsa (arbol, tatemada, and macha), a cheese stuffed filet, and 2 unquie drinks: a mezcal old fashion and a passion fruit mescalita.
All of it was wonderful. The meat was perfect. The coctails balanced. The salsa each brought new flavors that disnt compete, but stood on their own.
I want to return to try their take on many dishes i know, and some you can normally only get seasonally like chiles en nogada.
Fonda del Barrio, the neighborhood inn, is a new creation by the owner of City Tacos. Following lead of the other restraunt they are not trying to be the same flavors as all the neighboring spots. This is something special. The cocktail menu are new creations by head bartender from Cafe Sevilla see photo. Many great options.
Openning night they had a talented live acoustic guitar player. Ill be on the look out for more music there. 100% will return
