Why you'll love Fonda Mexican Knox

  • Convenient Location & Comfortable Setting
  • Versatile Event Spaces to Suit all functions
  • Delicious Mexican food and amazing cocktails

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 food was spot on fresh, taste and good portions. Service was friendly, quick and genuinely welcoming without being over the top. The restaurant itself looks great too, modern, clean and a really nice vibe that makes us want to hang around.

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.

Came here with my siblings and the food was amazing! The vibe is so good too you don’t often see restaurants with such a nice vibe more catchy music, younger siblings had a dance! Even had a nice dessert after our lunch. Churros are 10/10. All of our food was so quick and delicious

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.

been here a couple times, i would say this has been the time that the food was the best, but i do feel at times my food comes out cold… otherwise the atmosphere is great, love the playlist thats is played in the restaurant. service is ok, i do feel that the staff could use a bit more common sense and that tables are cleaned quickly so that people don’t have to wait. otherwise it was great!
