Fonda Argentina, Argentine steakhouse in Benito Juárez, Mexico.
Fonda Argentina is a steakhouse in Centro Comercial Paseo Acoxpa that grills beef cuts over charcoal and prepares empanadas alongside traditional Argentine sides. The menu keeps to a focused selection of grilled meats and regional accompaniments without excessive variety.
It started in 1993 when an Argentine craftsman set up a grill next to his sewing workshop to feed people in the neighborhood. The simple operation grew into a larger establishment that expanded to other locations in the city.
The place serves authentic Argentine beef dishes and traditional sides that reflect how people from that region enjoy their meals, with flavors and cooking styles you will not find elsewhere in the city.
The restaurant is located at Avenida Acoxpa 430 inside a shopping center and opens for lunch starting at 1:00 PM, with later closing times on weekends. Check the operating hours before visiting since times vary by day of the week.
The cooking method comes directly from the original improvised grill that started next to the sewing workshop and has remained unchanged over the decades. You can observe how the meat is still prepared using the same traditional techniques that were used when the place first opened.
