This place is pretty good, with a nice outside patio. There is handicap parking and space inside and outside for wheel chairs. The food is good and has those flavors most places dont. They roast their salsa for their chips that are served hot. And their mixed drinks are nice and strong. I recommend this place for business meetings, a quick snack, or even a date. E for everyone.

My husband and I went here the other night and we were blown away. I ordered the strawberry margarita on the rocks, and he ordered their award winning marg frozen. I would give both a 10/10. The strawberry marg had a very natural/real strawberry flavor rather than an artificial puree flavor which I appreciated. We also ordered chips & queso (of course) which was very tasty and will definitely order again. Both of our meals were phenomenal. We also had the kindest server which made the experience even better. We already can’t wait to go back and bring our family next time!

La Fogata is a family staple and a restaurant we frequent. The menu is varied so there’s always something for everyone and anything you might feel in the mood for. The drinks are delicious and so refreshing with the heat. Try the “Cocoloco” you won’t be disappointed!

Pleasantly surprised by this restaurant! We went in without any preconceived notions as we hadn’t heard anything about it, and I absolutely loved the food! Our server was very attentive, though I will say that nobody greeted us when we walked up. We had to get the attention of someone to be seated. After that, the service was great and food was incredibly fresh. We sat outside and seating was very comfortable, and it was chilly outside but they had no problem lighting a fire for us. There should be a bigger sign to guide you into the restaurant, because it’s on the side of an insurance business and is hard to see from the parking lot, but I’m glad we gave this spot a chance. Food is good, servers are very kind, and atmosphere is pleasant.

Beans had ZERO salt or season of any kind. They missed 1 of the 3 items ordered and messed up another one. Rice was incredibly bland and had a hair in a taco…

I have been waiting for a very long time for my order and have gotten nothing but the most rude and disrespectful treatment from the manager Rafael, who ever promoted him needs to take a look and give someone the job who can respect another human being!!!!! The young lady at the hostess stand told me every time she checked on my order she got yelled at. Now I don’t care how backed up an establishment is NO ONE deserves to be treated like that ever!!! As a former manager of a restaurant I NEVER ONCE treated my employees like that. This manager needs to bumped down to bus boy until he learns common human decency and respect!!

First time here and it was wonderful. Of course, the award winning margaritas were amazing! Loved the appetizers as well. The service was great and we will definitely be back. Highly recommend Dulche de leche cheescake.

Great place, good food and really nice atmosphere. The only thing I wasn’t a fan of was the homemade corn tortillas. I always get corn when they’re homemade but these were a little too thick and maybe a little undercooked. I am white though and I may not know what I’m talking about and that’s why they still get 5 stars across the board.
