Fonda Margarita
Mexico City, Mexico
The read// why locals go
Fonda Margarita has served the daily set meal from Adolfo Prieto in Benito Juarez since 1956, cooking in the fonda tradition of soup, rice and a stewed main that changes with the day rather than the season. The stews sit in clay and metal pots over a low flame and the queue outside is part of the arrangement. A full plate runs to about MXN 95, which is the point: this is everyday neighbourhood eating priced for people who do it several times a week, not a version of it staged for anyone else.
