This place has it all. A wonderful tapas list, good service and hearty drinks at incredibly fair prices (a rarity in the Berkeley/Albany area). My wife and I dropped by on a Sunday night, ending our week long sojourn in Northern California, and were quite pleased.

Fonda is fun! I love the romaine salad! I love the two bitty fish tacos after 9pm. I love snagging a cush chair and table for two. I love that it's "datey" but that you can go solo in the afternoons like a cafe! more
