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. Botanas, crudos, tacos and plates from the grill and the slow pot come together in a lively menu designed to be shared. Hot salsas, smoky chillies and fresh herbs bring the dishes to life, balanced with ice-cold drinks to cut through the richness. At the heart of the restaurant is the comal, a traditional clay griddle used to create signature dishes like costras and gringas.

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
