Lonely Planet review for Fonda de la Madrugada
We tend not to trust Mexican cooking outside of Mexico and the border regions, but we make an exception for this rambling restaurant in a sub-basement. Mariachis stroll through the florid, Spanish-style ‘courtyard’ as you tuck into enchiladas tricolores (chicken enchiladas with three colours of mole sauce), surprisingly gourmet fish and meat dishes, and potent margaritas (pay ¥150 extra for the good tequila). The downside: it may be the most expensive Mexican meal we’ve ever eaten. Still, it’s less than a plane ticket to Guadalajara.
