WHO IS FONDA?
Fonda was founded in Richmond, Melbourne in 2011 by two mates - Tim and Dave - with a vision of bringing a uniquely fresh take on Mexican street food to Australia.
In Mexico, a ‘fonda’ is a home that a family opens up to their local community as an unofficial restaurant. It’s this idea of everyone feeling welcome, relaxed and at home that really struck a chord with Tim and Dave. Not only did we borrow the Fonda name, but the idea of a fonda was also the inspiration behind our brand ethos of Mi Casa Su Casa. This embodies how we treat our staff, like our family, and how we treat our customers, like guests in our own home.
These days, we have 9 restaurants scattered across Melbourne and Sydney, with big plans to expand further over the coming 12 to 18 months.
