Fonda is a time machine capable of taking you back. Back to the stovetops of our chef’s grandmothers. Back to the essence of joy one feels when a plate is laid before them by a person who cares. We have two experiences to take you from our past to the present. Fonda, which is a more traditional approach to dining, and the Cantina, which celebrates our cocktail program, and allows our guests to enjoy a meal a little more quickly. Both distinctly rooted in our goal: to provide authentic and thought-provoking cuisine.
