Why you'll love Fonda Mexican Knox

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.

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.

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.

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😔

This used to be my favourite place to eat at Ozone. I was so disappointed this evening. It was a beautiful sunny night so we wanted Tis it outside. Took us six tables to get one that either wasn’t covered in bird poo or dirty dishes. I then went in and asked if someone could spare a minute to come and wipe our table as it had a bit of bird poo on it. “Yep”…. But nobody ever came. We ordered 2 chicken burrito bowls. I asked for my dressing on the side…. My husband didn’t and got no dressing at all. Had to search high and low for the rice and quinoa. Neither of us finished our meal. I was so shocked at how downhill it has gone we just up and left. Only redeeming thing was the corona and margarita. That’s $80 down the drain. 😢
