Fonda’s Rockling Fish Taco’s
Fonda has been one of our fondest Richmond eats for quite some time. It’s small and tidy and yes everyone’s caught on so it’s teeming with people at all eating hours but it is worth the wait. While you wait for your name to be called from the list, the lane way to its side (‘Mi Case Su Casa’ sprawled on the wall makes it hard to miss), is a great place to sample a few beverages.
Fonda’s Tortilla Chips with Salsa and Guacamole
Underrated – Fonda’s Spanked Gin Basil Smash
What used to be the iconic Salvo’s store in Windsor, is now their second Casa. An even bigger space than their Richmond restaurant but with all the Fonda menu favourites. It’s so spacious that they’ve even set up a little bar upstairs, Atico (the attic) where you can sip on array of alcoholic beverages like Tequila, beer, cocktails, lovely wines and more.

Update: Good things come in threes as they say, with Fonda opening a third restaurant at the end of March 2014 in Flinders Lane. This restaurant has our favourite fit out of the three by far. Lots of space, mezzanine seating that looks out onto Flinders Lane and bright cheerful decor – great for work lunches and after work drinks. The food is what you know from Windsor and Richmond, fresh salsa’s and guacamole with your Tortilla chips, lightly crumbed fish tacos, hearty Quesadillas, salads for the gluten shy and some very underrated beverages. We loved the Spanked Gin Basil Smash and the house made Aguas Frescas (Fresh Waters) – the Watermelon and Strawberry, and Cucumber and Lime are super refreshing, filling and flavoursome.
