I loved the interior and details inside! There were some amazing dishes such as fish tacos,truffle quesadillas, ribeye and churros I wouldn’t recommend the steak/cheese costra. The cocktails were nice too!

Arguably some of the best Mexican in London! We came here for the first time and were very impressed. The starters were very tasty, I would recommend the truffle quesadillas. The mains were delicious, steak was cooked beautifully and the portions were of good size we thought. The staff did a great job of recommending what to order and how much, they were all very helpful and didn’t find ourselves waiting on them at all. The cocktails are very well done, in touch with the Mexican cuisine and paired nicely with our meal. Their only shortfall I think personally is the price! We felt it was a little on the higher side for what you get. I think it is worth visiting this restaurant, the vibes are super cool and the food (despite ££) is very well made. Thanks Fonda!

Outstanding from start to finish! The staff were really friendly, helpful with recommendations and explained the dishes that they brought out to us. The interior decor was really lovely and we had some tasty mezcal-based cocktails. Then the food, the food was incredible! They must have been the best tacos that we have ever had. The fondue starter tacos and the beef short rib tacos were phenomenal! The mole with chips to start, the truffle quesadillas, fish tacos and the desserts were also fab. We loved the little table salsas as well. Can’t praise this restaurant enough.

A Santiago Lastra restaurant on Heddon St, just off Regent Street, little sibling of one-star Michelin rated KOL. Trendy interior.. terracotta walls, tropical plants, dark woods, makings of a happening central London restaurant, and it is. However.. and this is a big HOWEVER, the value for the money just isn’t there and some of the dishes are no better than their more pedestrian cousins. The pumpkin seed dip with tortillas was quite nice, and the crab tostada was also interesting, especially with the butternut squash toppings. Things started to fall apart with the mains-the fish tacos were simply inadequate in every way –the flavours weren’t that unique, the tortilla wasn’t made out of corn, and the piece of fish was barely the size of a pinky finger. At £10 each they were a let down and a rip-off. Something similar could be said about the sides- the refried beans were a minuscule portion, and they had been puréed to a smooth consistency rather than retaining the texture of the beans they were made from, and the gem salad was literally a small gem lettuce with a little bit dressing on the side. Both sides were simply puzzling.. like the interns had made them. The mushroom large plate was quite interesting, the mushrooms were premium, meaty and smoky and the molé sauce was quite nice though a bit too sweet. Bill came out to just about £100 and we didn’t have a single alcoholic beverage between the two of us. I get this is a happening place and there were a few standout flavours but in so many ways this restaurant is emblematic of what dining out in 2025 in London feels like-inconsistent, and notably lacking of value . I must leave high marks for the staff who were warm, hospitable and knowledgable, nothing against them, not in the least bit.

I have been to Fonda twice now, and was wow’ed both times. Our first visit was back in summer. We loved the pumpkin seed mole (one of the best dips ever eaten anywhere) and the queso de aro. The quesadilla and the pork carnitas were fabulous as well. The tortillas were amazing- it was evident how much care went into them. I went back with a group of friends recently for the Dia de los Muertos brunch, and found them still going strong. Especially loved the hot churros for dessert. They also had an authentic mariachi band playing live music! In my opinion, not only are they one of the best Mexican restaurants in London, but one of the best casual dining restaurants in London, period.
