Fonda Mayora

I am disappointed with the food. Not so sure what they are trying to accomplish with the mix of flavors but they are very adventurous I must say. That being said, it was not what I expected. I don't like to give a bad review to a place so close to my house, it makes me a bad neighbor but I was very disappointed with my lunch at Fonda Mayora.
I heard good things about the place and finally decided to pull the plunge and go.

We started with Agua del Día, it was watered down and plus the ice, well, you get the idea.

Presentation was nice, we started with a guacamole and dehydrated cecina, lack of salt and flavor, honestly it was a Pico de Gallo and avocado, didn't even look like a real guacamole.
I had a beef Tongue, was cold, hard and didn't have any flavor, I thought the sauce that it was soaked in would give a nice kick, but it didn't. I have to say the Cilantro leaves that garnished the plate had more flavor than the plate itself.

My Fiancée had a Duck with a special Chiles secos sauce and it was overcooked and hard, he didn't finish his plate.
My sister had a sope of Suadero and it was inedible because it was really salty.
I am giving them 1 star because the Location, the courteous service and the tortillas (this was the only good thing about the lunch).
I believe this place is overrated and overpriced.

Without a doubt a great Mexican restaurant with a contemporary touch. Food is great but not fantastic as expected from Gerardo, the restaurant creator and chef. Most items in the menu are spicy so if you don’t eat spicy food your choices are limited. The place gets busy and crowded and the expected dish presentation gets lost because of the clientele volume. I’m sure that there is room for improvement and that the chef will take note. I will come back, though.

Fabulous brunch. Got the chilequiles with mole. And the rancheros. Great prices- for an American. The pastries they offer you (which aren’t free!!) are fabulous. The service was good but a little lackluster and heartless, but worth it.

Excellent service. The guacamole is made in front of you and everything was yummy! I would consider this as a gem in CDMX especially considering the price tag. (We only had appetizers u0026 deserts though!)

The food was amazing! Authentic Mexican cuisine that is definitely worth its price. They make the guacamole right at the table in front of you, it's like a ceremony that is worth seeing. I can only highly recommend this restaurant!

Cool little spot in the Condesa. I ordered the tostado de ceviche and albóndigas con chicharrón. The albóndigas were really very tasty, only served with 2 tortillas, I'm not really a big eater, but I think it should come with 3 or 4 tortillas, the tortillas were excellent however. The tostado de ceviche was really heavy with lime, I get that the fish is macerated with lime juice , but all I could taste was lime. Price was reasonable for the neighborhood and quality.

Beautiful corner surrounded by trees and outdoor seating, the photos do not do it justice. The service is warm and professional, and the menu is beautiful. The tortilla boats with bone marrow were insanely delicious.
