Mexican
A work colleague had recommended Fonda Mexican at work last week, so I decided to give it a try on Sunday for lunch. A very casual eatery, where you order at the counter, then they bring your food to you. Simples.
Since the weather was pretty mild and the sun was out, we opted for a table outside on busy Chapel St. Perfect for people watching!
A funny incident occurred while we were waiting for our food. A man and woman were seated on the table beside us, also waiting for their food. Their two teenage kids had brought some take-away (from Mad Mex) and wanted to sit down with their folks at Fonda. However the dad wouldn't let his offspring sit, because their food was from another establishment. He made his kids go back to Mad Mex and eat there. I thought this was pretty funny.I started with the Charred Corn, with Chipotle Aioli, Ricotta Salata and Lime. It tasted fine, but paying $4.50 for half a cob of corn was totes not worth it, considering all they're doing it charring the corn and then lathering it with aioli and cheese.
I also ordered two tacos. Firstly, the Rockling with Chipotle Aioli, Pickled Carrot, Onion & Cabbage. Loved this. The fish was covered in a crumb of some sort and deep fried... and we all know that you can deep fry an old boot and it would probably taste good right? The combination of pickled veg and the creamy aioli was perfect. A very clean, fresh tasting taco.
My second taco was the Wagyu Shin with Lime, Poblano, Jicama, Pickled Red Onion & Coriander. By the time I got to my second taco though (I'm a slow eater btw), it was pretty much stone cold. However, the flavours were really nice and I enjoyed the spicy poblano and the sweet, crunchy jicama.
Some of the other menu items include Quesadillas; Burritos and Salads. Somethin' for all :)
