Fonda Solana, which is Spanish for 'cafe on a sunny corner' is definitely worth a visit. The food here is Latin American, and is served in small plates—specialties include Grilled Rack of Lamb with Chimichurri and Duck and Pomegranate Tacos. Such unusual combinations make for an exciting dining experience, and the colorful decor lends the place a festive air. So come, catch a ray of sunlight at the delightful Fonda Solana.

Love this place!!! My husband and I go here when we want a guaranteed fun and delicious time! The food is so good. It's classical Tapas cuisine and they have all sorts of delicious items on their menu. My faves are the oysters--the mignonette sauce is awesome and the skirt steak is really tasty too. The best drink by far is the Pancho Villa! It's Dos Equis beer with lime and sangrita. I don't know what sangrita is exactly but it makes the drink! Prices are a bit high for the small plates you get, but the quality of the food ... read more
Excellent food & drinks...first-class service Fonda is great for being open late, so their happy hour starts at 9pm. They have a number of drinks and tapas on this menu and you can also order from their regular menu as well. Our MUST HAVES here are the chips, guacamole & salsa, seasonal salad, Duck & Pomegranate Tacos, Lamb with Chimichurri, Steak with chipotle sauce and fried onions! They have a dessert that they do (seasonally, I believe) with mangos and rum...yum! Also, my favorite mixed drink to order at ANY restaurant i... read more
Fun place for drinks and good food! Fonda is a great place to meet friends for drinks and small plates of excellent food. The service is attentive and the building is old and funky - it used to be an auto repair shop long ago - but it has been cleaned up and remodeled to be a very comfortable spot to visit with friends.

This is my favorite restaurant in the east bay. Period. I love the (pork) carnitas tostaditas, and the duck tacos and the sherry-vinegar sauteed broccoli and the drinks. The drinks are the best here- everything fresh everyday for every drink... truly gourmet cocktails, and very very cheap at happy hour in the afternoon and after 9pm too! My favorite place to relax with a light bit of food and killer drink or cask-aged rum (plus a huge, comprehensive tequila list!)...yum yum yum....
Fun place for drinks – Finally had a chance to come here. I'm very fond of Sea Salt, Lalime's and T-Rex (same owners). This place is busy!! We had to wait almost an hour for a table but luckily found a spot at the bar for a few pre-dinner cocktails. Pricey but strong and good! We finally got seated and orders tapas and small plates. Some better than others but all were pretty good. We went on a Sat night so it may be easier seating on the weekday. Will try them again for sure.
