Fonda
In Mexico, a fonda is a family-owned eatery, serving traditional dishes. Santiago Lastra’s Fonda showcases recipes from across the country.
About Fonda
Informal, busy and full of colour, fondas in Mexico are woven into daily life. Fonda brings that same energy to Mayfair, with a vibrant space shaped by the warmth and generosity of Mexican hospitality.
The menu explores the depth and breadth of the cuisine with confidence. Crudos, tacos and plates from the grill come together in a lively menu designed to be shared. Hot salsas, smoky chillies and fresh herbs bring the dishes to life.
At the heart of the restaurant is the comal — a traditional piece of cooking equipment creating signature dishes like costras and gringas.
It reflects the spirit of the restaurant: lively, fast-paced, rooted in tradition and driven by people who genuinely love hospitality, food and creating memorable experiences together
At Fonda, people are at the centre of everything we do. From the kitchen to the floor, our team brings the spirit of generous Mexican hospitality to life. We’re always looking for passionate, like-minded people to join our team and grow their career with us. If you love food, drink and hospitality, we’d love to hear from you.
Workplace Culture
At Fonda, the culture is fun, fast-paced and professional. Inspired by the energy of Mexico’s fondas, the restaurant is full of life, warmth and personality, with a team that genuinely enjoys working together.
We care deeply about great hospitality and high standards, while creating an atmosphere that feels welcoming, energetic and authentic. We look for people who are hardworking, proactive and team-focused, with natural warmth and confidence on the floor.
At Fonda, everyone plays a part in creating the energy of the restaurant — great food, great people and genuinely memorable hospitality.
