Fonda Mexican Chadstone

I always come here with my family to enjoy a nice dinner. Our go to orders are the mushroom and chicken quesadillas which are demolished however this time with a friend we shared prawn tacos and a chicken burrito. I LOVED the prawn taco, perfect amount of flavour to complement the crispy yet soft prawns. I liked that the prawns were bite sized and despite the taco looking small it was very filling. I liked the taco over the burrito but the burrito was delicious as well, I would have loved more guacamole though. Not to mention, it was quiet when we came in and the service was lovely. Can count on me to come back again and again.

One of the down sides of Chadstone I feel, is that there aren't enough bars or restaurants serving alcohol. Sometimes you feel like an afternoon drink whilst out shopping, and I really feel that this is an untapped area. We felt like a few cocktails one afternoon, so we popped into Fonda upstairs in the dining precinct. We didn't want food, but the waitress was more than happy for us to sit in for some drinks. I love the pastel decor and the cool atmosphere. We ordered some cocktails and spritzes, and they arrived quickly. They were delicious and refreshing, and not too expensive. We enjoyed our time here, and it was a pleasant place for a break from our shopping. I would definitely return to this Fonda outlet to try their food.

There is a large variety of food on this menu. I love the decor in the restaurant, very modern and colourful. My favourite taco was the fish taco, it was light and flavoursome. The portions are quite large. The burrito was filling and it was wrapped so nicely. Would come back for a Mexican fix.

The food was delicious, fresh and very tasty! And the ambience was ver cool and employees very gentle.

Fonda is the perfect place if you feel like stopping at a casual eatery while shopping at Chadstone. The decor is bright, spacious and well thought out with greenery and modern furnishings. <br/ <br/ I've tried the Grilled Chicken Quesadilla and the Herbed Mushroom Quesadilla also. Both are delicious! I probably prefer the chicken one as I love the jalapeno-basil aioli that it comes with. <br/ <br/ For some reason I'm obsessed with their fries, the Chipotle Chips. I have to get them every time I come in as they're just so perfectly crunchy and come with the chipotle aioli which is so tasty.<br/ <br/ Good work Fonda!
