Fonda Mayora is situated on a corner, bright and airy surrounded by lush greeery. I sat outside in…read moreone of the tables underneath the shade from the trees. It was a perfect afternoon stop for lunch.
I like the simple decor of the space with simple wood chairs with a charcoal grey accent. There's a small vase of colourful flowers on each table, and it reminds me of a quaint cafe in Paris.
It was a warm afternoon, so I settled for an iced cold Negra Modelo to start. The menu is not vast, but there is something for everyone.
I started off with a ceviche. Upon arrival a fresh squeeze of grilled lemon was added to the dish. It had light notes of lemon juice, not overpowering, and the freshness of the fish really shone through. It also had a fragrant oil laced through, which I really enjoyed. There was a small amount of fried garlic bits to the dish. It was quite an exquisite dish, paired with the homemade tostadas.
Next, I got an order of the ceviche tostadas. These were like mini tostadas, but was a good bite. Overall, it was a little too oily, and too much liquid to my liking.
Service here is friendly, my water was topped up, and so was my beer. Service is a little slower than usual, but the food and atmosphere made up for it.
