Fonda Margarita - a must "eat" in Mexico City.

They say that the Fonda Margarita has been open for over 50 years but the official date is a secret that the owners say that they can´t reveal. From the street you
could easily pass by Fonda Margarita without realising that you had walked by one of the cities best places to stop if you want to try real authentic cooking.
Everything at the small fonda is cooked in traditional clay Ollas and cooked on carcoal giving all the food the deep and rich flavour that can cannot be found everywhere nowadays with gas being a cheaper and quicker fuel for cooking.
The fondas speciality are the beans and scrambled eggs served with fresh hand made tortillas but every day of the week the menu has a slight variation for you to choose from and to accompany your breakfast "fillers". The small fonda has around eight or so long tables and customers from lawyers and suits to builders and taxi drivers sit side by side to enjoy the wonderful food dashed with fresh made salsas.
I´d recommend going on a wednesday when meatballs are on the menu - they really are the best meatballs that I have ever tasted in my life !! Expect to pay about $120 mexican pesos for a very large breakfast for two including coffee.

Fonda Margarita is open from 5am until 11am Monday to Saturday, closed sundays and is located on : Adolfo Prieto 1364, Col. Narvarte.
