    Fonda Margarita - All the stews and the amazing bean and egg

    I walked into Fonda Margarita with a chip on my shoulder. Everyone was chirping me talking about…read more"Bro is PETRIFIED to leave Roma Norte..." or "You're only hitting the tourist spots like the little weasel you are..." Putting my ego and the fact that I literally am a tourist aside, it was a fair criticism. I responded to these and asked for a recs, and 8/10 of them said I HAD to go to Fonda Margarita. I arrived early the next day, and boy were they right. I walked in and took a seat among strangers at one of the metal tables with live music being played directly behind us. In the best way possible, I felt like I was on a movie set. Fonda Margarita is one of the only places I've been that feels like it has been untouched by the all-encompassing river of time. They are cooking the guisados in huge clay pots, the staff takes your order with pen and paper, there are no QR code menus, no AI marketing, etc. I was the only one who didn't speak Spanish at the table (obviously), and the whole group cheered me on as I ordered in my broken Spanish. From there, we communicated by passing the phone back and forth with google translate as they asked where I'm from, how long I'm in town, and how I heard about the restaurant. I asked them the same questions back while also asking for recommendations of other local spots to hit. One lady across from me, who was at least in her 80s, told me she had been coming here since she was 17 years old and it hasn't changed at all. You gotta respect the OGs. In similar fashion to the people, the food was SENSATIONAL. I ordered their famous frijoles con huevo, chilaquiles with chicken, and a chicharon guisado. I'll be the first to admit the frijoles con huevo fails the eye test on every level. It looks like a turd. I was nervous for that first bite, but my tastebuds EXPLODED in exaltation. It's literally just refried beans and eggs cooked in lard, so I don't know how it could be that delicious. The lady next to me leaned in and said "This only here. Nowhere else in Mexico. Only here." The chilaquilas were draped in salsa verde with a HUGE piece of chicken on top. Head and shoulders the best chilaquiles I've ever had. They changed me. I'll be honest, the chicharron guisado wasn't my favorite but I was so full by the time I got to it. I don't think it got a fair shake. It makes me so happy to know that places like this still exist. In Fonda Margarita, time stands still. Great food, better people, FONDA MARGARITA! IG @johnny.novo Tiktok @jnov__ Substack @johnnynovo

    Flew into CDMX at 6am and went directly here for breakfast…read more BEST CHILAQUILES IVE EVER HAD. Toasty chips, amazing green sauce, and should add asada! Do NOT skip on the black bean with egg + tortillas. Live music at 7am and incredibly kind locals.

    This is my first sit-in dining experience at Mexico. Unfortunately, I just did not get the same…read moreraving positivity that a lot of the other reviewers had. When we came in, there was no one there. It remained this way for the entire duration of our time there. I don't know if we just ate at a later time when most customers had already ate dinner or if the absence of customers is due to the food. Personally, I felt like their food is not bad, but it's also not good to the point where it blew my mind for me to come back for seconds. I ordered a prime rib with 2 quesadillas and avocado. The prime rib tasted a little bland and a little extra seasoning would have definitely helped out with the flavoring. The quesadillas were not that good because they were very dry. Overall, I would sum up the food as boring. The service was extremely friendly! Unfortunately due to my limited Spanish, I couldn't appreciate the warmth and enthusiasm of the conversation that the server was having with my other friends. Therefore, my review is mainly based on the quality of the food as opposed to the service. Oh and if you happen to be a foreigner like me and ends up using the English-version menu, the prices on it are wrong. The real prices are on the Spanish-version menu and they are slightly pricier.

    Second time here. The firsts time was for breakfast and I still remember the fresh squeezed orange…read morejuice Today I went with a large party of 8 for dinner mid week. We started with two orders of escamoles. They make it table side which I've not seen before. They say it was delicious. I don't eat ant eggs. We also got two orders of quesadilla - cheese, squash flower, and "corn smut" aka chicharrone. Service was good but after appetizers, they didn't change silverware. A little disappointing. They were good. I started with the cilantro soup. It was creamy with a hint of heat. The cilantro was an aftertaste and not overbearing. I would get this again. I decided to get the Chiles en Nogada, again. Since it is only in season such a short time. It was delicious! The temperature was warm. The group beef inside of the panlano was the perfect combination of meat, fruit, and nuts. The sauce was not too thick and not too sweet. Could have used more pomegranate but that's more my taste. Weird Banos situation: the Men's Bathroom is upstairs- be warned if you are drinking :) Women's is downstairs. One person said this was the best meal they had in Mexico. Everything was really good. I will come back here and try other dishes- like the chicken mole that was raved by one of our locals. The service was good. We drank a Mexican Cabernet wine and would get that again. The wine glasses we were served in varied in size. I got the baby glass! The decor is warm and inviting with interesting Mexico themes. The walls are rustic yet the art looks high end; this combination works here. Strange children's playroom upstairs.
