The place is infested with bugs and rodents. That's why they keep the lights down low. Every time I've checked there wasn't an actual Mexican in the kitchen. No Mexican staff on the floor. They're known for not paying their staff too. The last time I had anything close to authentic there was over 15 years ago.
If you're in that area head to Chile's grill right in Harajuku. The manager-owner is from Mexico City and comes from a family of food service people. Last time I stopped in all his cooks were Mexican too. Best place for authentic while still trying to please the local market.
OK, thanks for the tip and sad to hear that Fonda has declined like that. Last time I ate there was at least 10 years ago and it wasnt bad, as far as I remember. Will try Chile next time!
