FONDA is another East Village haunt serving a Mexican inspired brunch in a lively setting. Though the menu is a little small, it likely means that all the items are done well.
At FONDA, you can dip into pan frances, which is brioche soaked in banana custard served with bananas, pecans, and ricotta.

As a bonus, all entrees served with eggs are made with organic eggs.
