Fonda Kelly is a special little restaurant built in memory of the great Irish/ Mexican artist Phil Kelly whose water colours adorn the walls. Found in the historic centro close to Tepito, the menu is playful and electric mixing traditional Mexican dishes with international fair from Arabic food to fish and chips (the closest fish and chips to the British ones that I have found!) The dessert included rose petal jelly and the coffee is superb. On top of all that, the prices are magnificent.

Very very highly recommended.
