Restaurant
•Fonda Knox is far from a typical shopping centre restaurant. Beautifully considered in its design, with multiple distinct spaces aimed at entertaining, it’s built for a very, very good time. When you get the whole venue, you get the Terrace—an al fresco space that’s fully weather proof. Then there’s the Loft, a cosy mezzanine looking over the main dining room. And of course, the main dining room is all your’s, too, with private bar and staff included.

The upstairs function space at Fonda Mexican Knox offers a vibrant, semi-private setting that’s perfect for hosting memorable events. Located on a mezzanine level, the space feels exclusive while still connected to the energy of the venue below, making it ideal for celebrations, corporate gatherings, and social events.

Combined with Fonda’s bold Mexican menu, the space creates a relaxed yet lively atmosphere where guests can mingle, eat, and celebrate comfortably.

Popped in for an early lunch before seeing a movie. We could order, but the kitchen didn't open until 12 noon. The food was fresh and very tasty. The prawn and pineapple taco was amazing. We will definitely be back.
Sunday afternoon bit quiet. Took a little while for food guess cos only 1 staff in the kitchen maybe. Other than that was ok. Even though still prefer old recipes for mushroom taco and quesadilla.
Great mix of Mexican street food and classic favourites available on the menu at this O-zone located restaurant. I liked the comfy booth seating and the colourful, modern decor. I also liked the tasty homemade sodas in a range of interesting flavours. Service today was not great. Difficult to find the instructed desk to order from (as I am unable to use the scan menu ordering system)staff wafted about without being very helpful, and 1 person in our party of 6 didn't receive their simple taco dish til 20 minutes after the rest of us had finished eating. I found the serving size small for the price on most dishes we ordered, plus 15% extra for public holiday fee made it quite an expensive meal.
went for dinner at 5:30pm on a sunday. the food took 35 minutes to come out. when it did come out, the waitress didn’t know the difference between the beef birria tacos and the mushroom birria tacos. this was obviously concerning because one of us is vegetarian. when the food did eventually come out, the beef was pink😔 tasted so bad😔 i am so sad😔
Ordered two of the Loaded Nachos with beef for my partner and I, and look at what we got… this is a photo of my meal and to me I would say it’s about $15 worth of food….the tiny amount of beef, guacamole and even small amount of nachos has left us still very hungry and we paid $51 ($25.50 each)!!!! We are both starving and have to order a second dinner… We have been to this Fonda once before and had the same issue with serving size of the burritos, as they are small as well. We are local so would love for this place to be our local Mexican place but probably won’t go back here again :( Also, as you can see, we were told to email them regarding this issue, which I have, and it’s been weeks with no reply.. great customer service.. NOT!
