Fonda Fora

Delicious food and a beautiful atmosphere. Mexican fusion cuisine. The tuna tacos were delicious, I highly recommend them. shared pork and scallop with chorizo, and it was very tasty. The nachos with a variety of dips were also very good. I would love to come back and try other dishes!

We recently attended my husband’s work Christmas party at this fantastic Mexican restaurant, and it was an incredible experience from start to finish. The food was absolutely delicious—full of rich, authentic flavors that really stood out. Every dish we tried was a hit! The service was equally impressive. The waitstaff were friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the evening. Their warm and welcoming attitude really added to the festive atmosphere. We had a private room for the event, and it was perfect—spacious, well-decorated, and provided just the right amount of privacy for our group to relax and enjoy the evening. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend this restaurant for both special occasions and casual dining. We’ll definitely be back!

Travelling and stumbled in for dinner. Incredible dishes, fantastic presentation, stunning building, amazing decor, atmosphere and music choice. Our server Jade was exceptional. A true professional. The manager brought out guac on the house as our food was taking a little bit more time than expected, and it's such a powerful hospitality move that establishments don't do enough. This place has won us over entirely! Blurry photo but my mum had the trout dish and it was amazing.

Really unique interior for Calgary. Definitely achieves south American vibes and atmosphere. Servers have seemed a little anxious to check in once or twice more than necessary but most would prefer that to not checking in enough. Menu options are solid. Both times I've been however, I've not been overly impressed with the food (especially for the price I'm paying). The flavours aren't as sharp and fresh as I'd hope for south American food. Cocktails are presented really well.

Had dinner at Fonda Fora last night for my best friends birthday. The food was.. fine. None of the dishes were amazing but the quality was solid and consistent. The service, however, was completely atrocious and probably the worst I have experienced at a higher end Calgary restaurant. Our waiter started off pleasant enough with a comprehensive explanation of the dishes, but as the evening went on, we were given next to no attention, with no drinks refills offered, and other staff bringing our food. Had to ask for drinks refills on the one occasion he did come to the table, after flagging him down, despite our drinks being empty. We were not offered new plates between dishes (I would expect to be offered new plates between a vinaigrette salad and steak flanks, as this is a share plate place). Separately, the steak was pretty tough despite asking for medium rare preparation. Had to eat it cold as we spent about 8 minutes trying to get our waiters attention for new plates. He seemed more focus on chatting up a table of ladies then being attentive to his table. Although the food was ok and appreciated the quality, the service completely ruined the evening as we spent about half of it trying to get our waiters attention rather then enjoying the evening. Will absolutely not be returning, and will be recommending that others do not.

Okay Mexican restaurant with lots of unique menu options. The corn ribs were good. Didn't enjoy the chocolate sauce on the flank steak, otherwise it would've been really good. Also, the horchata is a little too small in size.

Amazing experience! The food was delicious, fresh, interesting and fun menu options. The drinks were tasty (hello margaritas!) and the desserts so refreshing. The Burrata was so good, light combo perfect to compliment the spicier options!!

Had a lovely meal. My server, Gabby, was very personable and offered some great suggestions for pairing a drink with my entree. The scallops and chorizo was phenomenal. Definitely worth checking out!
