Located inside the Westley Hotel in the heart of Downtown Calgary, Fonda Fora is an exciting new contemporary Mexican restaurant brought to you by the folks at Thank You Hospitality.

Food and Beverage Magazine 30 under 30 winner, Chef Emilio Montenegro has crafted a menu based on his upbringing in Northern Mexico and his journey in kitchens across the world. Much of our concept is based around the heirloom corn of Mexico. We import four types of corn from a collective of heirloom farms in Mexico in order to provide the best product we can. We process this corn from raw and turn it into masa for dishes all across our menu, like our Sope, Tamal, and of course, Tortillas. There is a saying in Mexico that we live by at Fonda Fora: "Sin maiz no hay pais," meaning without corn, there is no country. Maiz is the lifeblood of Mexican cuisine, and we are excited to present it to you as it should be.

    Service was very nice but very slow. Food was tasty. Nice decor but the bathrooms were not maintained and pretty gross/messy.

    We only had a few appetizers and drinks. Unfortunately an ambulance came to the hotel and ruined the ambiance. Not in the greatest part of the city but the service was great.

    The 5 course mole tasting was amazing and the service fantastic. My favourite was the chicken and my partner loved the tamal. The one drawback was the loud, drunk staff member at the bar who eventually stormed off for some reason. When we left we saw that she had thrown the large box and gift bag she had at the bar in the snow beside the front door. Not a good look. Other than that it was fantastic and we will be back for sure.

    Tuna dish was very good and so was the cheesecake. Our server was attentive and very knowledgeable. The burrata salad was lacking a wow factor and did not have much flavour or seasoning to it and the pork that comes with tortillas for tacos also lacked seasoning and flavour.

    Room was too noisy, chair uncomfortable, menu was difficult to understand, drinks were good, appetizer was ok, all food dishes were lukewarm, complimentary dessert was a little raw in the middle. Appreciated the gesture but the night was disappointing compared to my previous visit and I expect more for $200+ tip.

    Our first server did not know how to advise us to order and said she was not acquainted with the menu. That set the tone. Had been when it first opened and the service was exceptional. Was disappointed yesterday evening.

    I have been here a few times but this time was honestly awful - the server we had was one of the worst I have ever had. Too chatty, didn’t listen, forgot stuff, talked about her menopause like a bit too much, messed up drinks. Food was great as always, but my parents are BOTH sick the day after…disappointing after trying to go celebrate a birthday. Normally recommend but will not confidently after this experience.

    The rib steak was simply horrible and cold even though it looked really appetizing at first but the taste was absolutely awful. I expected the food to be made fresh which I doubt was. Never coming back here.

    Fonda ForaGereageerd op 1 februari 2023Hi Anonymous, I am so sorry you didn't like the short rib! Clearly the dish was not executed as intended or as is typical with us as the dish is one of our more beloved items on our menu. I hope you will reconsider joining us again. I will be chatting with the chef that was on line the day of your visit to look into what happened here. Thanks for taking the time to reach out and again, my apologies for the disappointing error from my team. Tyson Duben Operations Manager

    The starters were really good ( Tuna Tostada and Tlacoyo de Hongos) but the mains was a big disappointment, the Pork Belly was under seasoned, lacked of flavour, the Mackerel was salty.

    Friendly and attentive service but the quality of the food is inconsistent. The flavours of the tuna tostada are delicious and our meal started off nicely. The pork belly carnitas and the pescado zarandeado were disgusting. The mackerel used in the pescado was so overpowering and fishy that it drowned out all of the other flavours and we couldn’t finish the meal. I appreciated the wide variety of gluten and dairy free items on the menu but left disappointed and hungry.

    Fonda ForaGereageerd op 1 februari 2023Hi Sarah, I am so sorry you left disappointed. The mackerel has been a bit of a controversial fish for us. By its nature, it is quite oily and "fishy". It is certainly not a fish for everyone. I will be chatting with Chef later today about making a change to the fish we are using for this dish. As it stands right now people either love it or hate it and we would like to stick to just loving it. Thanks for taking the time to leave feedback Sarah. Tyson Duben Operations Manager

    Fonda fora is one of my favorites rataurants in town. Sadly yestarday the tacos weren't that good because the tortillas were so cold. We notified the waitress and she offered to changed them. But is that first impression when the food arrives at your table and is cold.

    Fonda ForaGereageerd op 1 februari 2023Hi MontserratZ, Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback, and I am sorry we weren't up to our standards on your most recent visit. Our tortillas should certainly always be arriving at the table hot and fresh, especially with how much time and care we put into making them. I will be chatting with chef and my team to make sure they are more consistent and to the expectations we hold for ourselves. Tyson Duben Operations Manager

    Server was very helpful at interpreting the menu and helping choose items for one of our group- who had strong preferences. Guac was delicious! Very fresh. We enjoyed the pork belly and the mackerel, with both the beet and mushroom salads. The beets were lovely, the mushroom dish was not quite as good; lost in sauce that hid the flavours. Nice room and a big step up from taqueria style dining.
