Way back in 2010, mates Tim (a lawyer) and Dave (a firefighter) were struggling to satisfy their pretty serious cravings for some deliciously fresh Mexican food. So they set off on a scoping trip to Mexico, sampling the best of the best culinary delights the country has to offer (in a street food kind of way). Full of ideas, dreams, tacos and tequila, Tim and Dave returned to Australia and set about bringing their vision of creating the best Mexican restaurant in Australia to life. Within 6 months, the boys had themselves a sweet little casa on Swan Street with an hour-long queue and a couple of maxed-out credit cards. The good word spread fast, and as demand grew, so did the Fonda network. Nowadays, we serve up our legendary tacos and margs to thousands of guests weekly, with 9 locations across Australia and the original Collingwood store still going strong.
Our mission is to bring everyone a little piece of Mexico – from street-style tacos to our range of Mexican-inspired cocktails. We are passionate about using fresh, seasonal and locally sourced ingredients for all our dishes, as well as offering an extensive vegan and vegetarian menu, which is just as delicious.

A decent place for mexican food. Enjoyed my prawn taco but personally think that the crispy cauliflower one was a little bit lacking of flavours. Quesadilla was decent. The star of the night for me was watermelon juice with lime - so gooooood! I will definitely come back just for this drink.

The set lunch was great value for money, food was tasty and portion was generous.

We were a party of multiple people. Staff did their absolute best to accommodate us. Food came out hot and fresh. Fish tacos, chicken tacos and fried Cauliflower were great. Quesadilla was amazing, burrito was not the best I had before. Definitely recommend trying out some of the amazing cocktails on offer. Mango lime chilli was the best. Would I come back here- undecided

Had a lovely dinner here with my work mates, has the mexi bim bap. Wait time was a bit slow but the food was amazing especially the Horchata, had 3 horchatas last night and all was very colorful, tasty and fresh. Great service, comfy seating, would go back again. Thankyou!

Fast Mexican food. We came here on a weekday night and our food was brought out to us within 15 minutes of ordering. The shop uses a QR code to access the menu, order your food and to pay. Food was of good quality.
