We had both, our ceremony and reception at Fonda Fora just a few weeks ago and we are still not over how perfect it was! The communication with Madison (the event manager) leading up to the wedding day was outstanding. She is 10/10. The food was incredible, the drinks were quick and delicious.

Had a wonderful experience today during happy hour with a friend of mine. I tried several different happy hour dishes and a couple different margaritas. My favourite was by far the strawberry margarita! I absolutely loved the homemade guacamole and chips and the pork tacos.

This place is perfect for any event! The ambiance was relaxing, comfortable, and very aesthetic. The food was so filling (I didn’t actually expect such a large serving for the second course). Their churros were awesome. I would love to go back on other days for their comida corrida.

Fonda Fora executed a delicious well balanced menu inspired by Mexican cuisine. Everything is very flavourful and properly spiced. Some items have some nice heat like the scallop crudo dish. The salsas are all made in house and range from mild to spicy, all offer very robust flavours. The desserts are inventive. The drinks are fantastic especially the horchata latte.
