Fonda, a new Mexican restaurant on 7th Avenue between 14th and 15th streets, is in the midst of a “soft opening,” according to a couple posters on Brooklynian. No word yet on prices, but a blackboard inside the restaurant touts Mexican burgers, fresh guacamole, zarape de pato and pork in adobo as “signature creations.” The eatery is in the former Little D space.

By the way, Rosa Mexicano is not terrible as mentioned by someone that goes by a username of “snark”. Can you really take anything by such a person seriously?
I actually live in the neighborhood of this restaurant and ate there for their soft open and Saturday night. It was packed both nights, and from what I can tell, it was well received by patrons.
I think this place has a lot going for it. Not the ordinary run-of-the-mill Mexican, they actually make some excellent food. I had the best chicken dish, called Marco Pollo, that I have ever had. All the other dishes I tried including skirt steak, guacamole, chorizo, and flautas were all excellent! The drinks are also quite excellent, and I would highly recommend the red margarita infused with hibicus.
The atmosphere was pretty mixed with families, singles, dates, big gathers and the like. Service was pretty good for a first week restaurant, and the chef is very personable and comes out to greet the patrons.
Overall, I predict great things for Fonda and believe it will be here in Park Slope for many years as the flag bearer for great Mexican food!

“burgers” automatically means this shouldn’t be taken seriously as a mexican place. hamburguesas no son comidas mexicanas
Thanks Snarky and 11217!
Song is definitely the best Thai in Park Slope, with Mango coming in a close 2nd. (in my opinion)
I thought Mee Thai was crap.
Never tried Watana, but not heard the greatest things.
> Tried to go to Song this Friday…
Forget Song, Kensingtonian. Try Watana on 7th (near 14th st?) or Mango on the Flatbush end of 7th.
Mee Thai on 5th is also alright, but no better than, say, To Be Thai on Church.
Thai Sky used to be really good, but seems to be spending more time these days changing their decor than making yummy food.
I like Barrio and been there a few times. Like the Italian place Sette across the street. Tried to go to Song this Friday and the wait was an hour and a half. Needless to say, I left. WTF?
lol do you also titty twist your own nipples when you pass a woman breastfeeding in public? (they get kinda angry when you do that)

I’m going to train myself to do the same thing to their nasty ass diaper butt.
