Fonda Collingwood

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.
