Cheese jalapeño bites and chips were delicious along with the crunchy but perfectly cooked tenders. Beef taco was good. Horchata was also quite nice Sweet potato quesadilla was not to my liking though due to the big chunks of sweet potato.

My sister took us here on our first evening in Melbourne for dinner. Easy going, cute interior. A bit loud without any sound absorbing features but the food was excellent. Horchata and housemade sodas were refreshing. Quite generous portions. It was a bit more like texmex than authentic Mexican to me.

I had a really bad experience at Fonda Hawthorn. I waited over 45 minutes for my food, and when I politely asked the manager for his name so I could give feedback, he responded in an extremely rude and unprofessional way. I left feeling disrespected and shocked at how I was spoken to. The food quality didn’t justify the long wait, and the service made the whole visit even worse. I won’t be returning, and I honestly hope the management seriously reviews how they treat customers.

We recently had the pleasure of visiting Fonda Mexican Restaurant in Hawthorn, Victoria, for a bottomless brunch with friends and family. The experience was fantastic! We were treated to incredible dishes prepared by the talented chef Hasarangi, whose culinary skills truly shone through. The front manager also made a wonderful impression with their warm and friendly service, adding to the enjoyment of our visit. The food was certainly worth every cent! We indulged in delicious tacos, cheesy quesadillas, and crispy chips, all complemented by amazing margaritas and perfectly chilled beer. It was the perfect combination for a delightful brunch. The cozy and inviting atmosphere of the restaurant made us feel right at home, and it's an ideal spot for families, especially since it's very kid-friendly. I highly recommend Fonda Mexican Restaurant to anyone looking for a memorable dining experience. You won't be disappointed!
