SAN DIEGO (FOX 5/KUSI) — A new Mexican restaurant opened Tuesday in Barrio Logan.
Fonda del Barrio, located at 2234 Logan Avenue in the former Barrio Dogg space, features a traditional dining room and a bar/lounge with locally-sourced furniture, including pieces from Consignment Classics.
The dishes on the menu derive from each of Mexico’s seven primary culinary regions: North Mexico, North Pacific Coast, Bajío, Central Mexico, South Pacific Coast, Gulf Coast, and South Mexico (Yucatan Peninsula).
Some of the entrées include Ciudad de Mexico-style Filete de Res Porfirio (filet mignon filled with panela and cotija cheeses in a squash blossom white wine sauce), Pulpo Sarandeado (Sayulita-style octopus), Puebla-style Puerco Manchamanteles (thinly sliced pork loin medallions with traditional mole sauce), and Cholula-style Pollo en Mole de Guayaba (27-ingredient guava mole).
“Being a part of the Barrio Logan community has been my goal for a long, long time,” founder Gerry Torres said. “There may not be a more culturally exciting area in all of San Diego, and we are blessed to be even a small part of it. The chefs and I want this restaurant to feel like home, and we welcome everyone to our hacienda that will always be filled with great food, great service, cool vibes, and unrelenting love.”
The restaurant offers dinner service Tuesday through Sunday starting at 4 p.m.
There will also be live entertainment on the bar/lounge side of the restaurant, as well as planned weekend brunch service in September.
