COME HERE, do not overlook this place.
We came here on a whim for lunch, and it immediately turned into the highlight of our whole afternoon.
If I could rate it more than 5 stars, I would in a heartbeat. The owner Juan was so genuinely nice, we had a great conversation, and he really welcomed us with some fantastic food. Without a doubt, the best Mexican food I’ve had in WNY. We will be coming back very soon.
Carnitas burrito was really tender and flavorful. Get the guacamole, it’s fresh and absolutely worth it. Their salsas are flavorful and perfectly balanced. The chicken tinga flauta was juicy and savory. He also gave us a taste of their chocolate tres leches- if we weren’t so full, we would’ve gotten a huge piece to go.

Sit back and let them cook, because they are not playing games at Fonda! This was some of the most delicious Mexican food I’ve ever had, which was only rivaled by the kindness of their service. Every single thing is homemade, and as they say “made with amor,” and you can TELL. The salsas were delicious, everything fried was perfectly crispy, and all the meats were super juicy and bursting with flavor! The chicken tinga flautas were insanely delicious. The birria tacos were mouthwatering, and the al pastor torta was to die for – one of the best I have ever had! We had refreshing agua frescas to drink and took a delicious chocolate tres leches cake home. This place is a must try and we can’t wait to bring friends and family!

We just moved from Texas. And have been sorely disappointed by Mexican food in NYC. But Fonda Hudson has QUICKLY and DELICIOUSLY changed our tune. The food is made fresh with love and care. The flavors, quality, quantity, service, and price are unbeatable! Truly have not had as tasty of a meal in a long time.
We got
1- chicken fajitas- chicken was tender, juicy, flavorful without being overpowering.
2- chicken bowl – the corn, rice, beans, chicken, toppings were perfectly portioned. And even the corn was flavored. I could’ve eaten an entire bowl of it. Will need to try the Elote next time
3- chicken nachos – not on the menu but Juan (one of the owners) put it together for us anyway. The chips were made FRESH. No bagged or old/stale chips here. Unreal. Crispy and fresh.
4- tres leches – the best tres leches cake I have had… maybe ever. Soft, moist, spongy, not overly sweet. Pairs PERFECTLY with a tea or coffee.
Next time – will have to get the mole enchiladas, as with how fresh everything else was, I just know the fresh mole sauce will be insane.
We were so full and so satisfied, but not greasy, as can easily be the case with other restaurants.
Will be back. And have already recommended this place to others!

Wonderful Mexican spot with very friendly staff. This was a return trip for me after some recent rebranding. The Campechanos tacos were flavorful and over flowing. Make sure to use the salsas. The chips were fresh and the Agua frescas were delectable. Couldn’t help myself tonight and finish with family made chocolate tres leches and a latte that paired well with good conversation. So happy to have this addition to the neighborhood.

This place is the best spot you could find in West New York for tacos and burritos! Food is fantastic and the service is great! It’s authentic, family-owned, and the owner is really nice. We will 100% come back soon 10/10

The food here is excellent! The staff is very friendly and attentive. I’ve been here two times, both times the owner came to speak with us and checked up on us while we ate. Stop here to eat if you are in the area, it’s worth it!!

Do you have any idea how difficult it is to find REALLY authentic and tasty Mexican food in the greater NYC area?? This place is incredible!! I went with some meat eating friends, and even me as a vegan, was blown away by not only the hospitality, but the flavor and authenticity of everything. The tortillas are handmade and are delicious, the Nopales perfectly grilled, and the guacamole was table side in molcajete and absolute perfection and very fresh. I’m in Harlem and always scoping out new Mexican restaurants and will DEFINITELY be coming back here.

Ordered delivery from here and really enjoyed the food! The quantity is great value for money, which I appreciated for the guacamole I ordered. Yummy and flavorful! Thank you to the owner for the tres leche on the house, it was better than some I’ve had at some bakeries…!
