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.”…
