Fonda has modern decoration, and seems like a great place to go with friends to chill. Hopefully your friends are rich, since this is an expensive place to hang out. The restaurant is two floors, and has a trendy appeal to it. I went here with friends for dinner, but this place isn’t a place for a huge meal.

It offers novel Latin-American inspired food, such as duck tacos, and tasty tamales. This place works like tapas; it’s best to share with others and sample all the dishes. Most of them aren’t too big, and prices can range from 6 dollars to 13.50. The bill can ramp up quickly if you keep ordering food, trying to get full. They also have A LOT of different alcoholic drinks. Their bar is huge and they have multiple menus full of different types of spirits.

This place seems like a great place to go for a business meal, chill with friends in style and luxury, or to just fine dine. If you are looking to get full for cheap, then this place is more of a 3 star place. But otherwise I’d say it’s around 5 stars. I’ll compromise at 4. Be prepared to shell out some money if you really want to eat, and if you want to get some drinks.

This is a great find on Solana across the street from the Safeway. It’s actually quite a large space with 2 different levels and if the weather’s right, the patio.

I went around 7:00pm and was able to sit immediately at the bar overlooking the open kitchen. It was a great spot to see what everyone was ordering and it definitely drove the menu choices.

When we left though, the line was pretty long but luckily they have a great bar that is well-stocked. Their cocktail menu was quite delicious and very Latin-influenced with the various tequilas. Definitely a great place to go if you want to sit and chat with friends and just order small plates and drinks all night long.
