My boyfriend and tried out Fonda Lola on a Thursday night. We got the last seats; sitting at the bar, which we thought was a good sign.
Even though the place has been open for a few months now; there was a sledge hammer beside our seats and a bunch of screws. The bar also didn't look finished, they were using buckets for storage - it just seemed odd.
The bartender who served us was nice; we told him it was our first time and he helped to chose some items. He however then proceed to offer (and take) shots with all the groups of women in the bar/restaurant. Since we are a couple we were not offered this luxury. I found this kind of sleazy.
The chef came out multiple times and stood beside us; rubbing his hands through his greasy hair and helping himself to beer from the taps. I found this a huge turn-off.
Finally the food which was pretty boring. We had the guacamole and bean dip. The Guac was basically whipped avocados and I'm pretty sure they added mayo. Beans were whipped refried beans with no added flavour/spice. The "quesadilla" was basically a pizza pocket with VERY little cheese and no flavour. The cerviche was bad with no flavour. The only things half decent things were the chips and taco.
The chef should have been spending his time in the kitchen!
