Best Mexican food in Owasso. AMaZING food! GREAT salsa! Friendly staff. They have weird hours, it's a family run place but it is worth a trip! We live in another state, but have family in Owasso and we make sure we make time to eat here every time we are in town. We have tried a lot of different things on the menu and everything we have tried has been amazing. Highly, highly recommend!! (We even bought salsa to take back home) read more

not the best by far couldn't get a refill to save my life when i finally got my food it was wrong and cold not to mention the queso tasted like it was watered down read more

This is top notch service. High quality food. The best beef taco in oklahoma. You will love it! This is a family friendly environment so there are no cider heads to ruin your experience. You will be glad you went here! read more

First visit: spoonful of rice and beans on lunch special. Last visit: snooty waitress ignored us and brought no refills. Should have been in back rolling silverware away from public. Small room with tables too close for private conversations. read more

Excellent service, wonderful food in a charming atmosphere. I particularly loved both salsas--fresh and spicy, with a great heat level!

Literally the best Mexican restaurant I've ever been to!! The best food and the staff makes you feel like you are eating at home!! I'll stop coming here!! read more

Easily one of the brightest gems in the Tulsa area as far as Mexican food goes. Having lived in Texas and California, I know good Mexican food, whether it be Baja or Tex-Mex. The service is french style. I have never had a poor experience! The setting is very family-oriented, with pictures adorning every wall. The restaurant is family-owned and operated as well, which is really neat! Its our weekly brunch destination for sure! read more

Best food, always kind, great place to eat! Awesome service! Clean out front and bathrooms!

Cracking up reading reviews from California complaining abt this place and quoting how they know real Mexican because they have had it in California. Hilarious. Guess they are experts not people from South Texas, New Mexico, or actual Mexico. I've had "Cali-"Mexican that Californians always claim as the real thing. It is good but different. If you want to get technical, you'd be hard pressed to find "authentic" Mexican food in America. Because we just would not eat it as often. Big spoiler. Same goes for Italian, Chinese, etc. With that said El Fogon is a great place. It does have authentic dishes you don't find everywhere. Such an menudo (sp?). As for me. I could care less if it's authentic as long as it's good food served by nice people. El Fogon hits both marks. Ask for their off-menu Pineapple dish. Far from traditional. But great! read more

It's been quite a while since we visited El Fogon, probably since 2021. Mostly because they got sporadic of when they were open. When we went today, we were seated immediately. Everyone that works there is so sweet and really looks after their customers. The food was delicious! I especially love their salsa and beans! You can tell it's all freshly made. Such bright & light flavors. It appears that they either expanded the restuarant or remodeled it. It seemed less cramped & brighter. This is authentic Tex-Mex or Mexican food. They had tripe soup & a couple of other authentic dishes that are unusual to see offered. The food came out piping hot and fast, even at the noon hour rush. Love this place and glad to see it again, even better than before. read more

They have the best salsa ever! I'll come here just to get salsa to-go. I get their tacos everytime but I'm going to have to start trying the burritos because my husband's burritos always look amazing and he finishes the whole thing. read more

Nice, fresh salsas & good chips. Queso is a little boring & bland, but melted cheese is melted cheese, so how bad could it be? The Carne Asada was good. it could have been seasoned a little more, but it was very tender & juicy. The plate was quite short on pico de gallo & guacamole to fill tortillas provided though. The Trio Enchiladas were very good but typical of what can be found in most good Mexican places so they weren't a standout. No mixed drinks is a letdown. I really enjoy margaritas at dinner with Mexican food, so I can't say this will be a common choice in our future. Maybe an occasional lunch. We have been trying to make it to this place for years, but the short hours & closures made it hard to catch them open. We finally made it today. I am glad we satisfied our curiosity & found the service to be outstanding. This restaurant isn't really for us (hours & lacking mixed drinks), but for those who are just looking for good food, I would certainly recommend giving them a try. read more

The service here in a Tuesday late lunch was outstanding. We came to check the vegetarian options- Combo with enchilada espinacas which was ok and the vegetarian burrito was good. Very flavorful somewhat spicy salsa. read more

Best Mexican food outside of Mexico! We go there a lot and this is the same! :) Service is always GREAT! Nice small dining venue! read more

If you like authentic Mexican food, this place is for you. First off, they treat you like family here. Secondly, the food is cooked fresh to order and arrives at your table lickety split. Before you even order your entrees, chips and salsa are served, bottomless too. Mild or hot are the choices. The Super Burrito with shrimp is THEBOMB.com read more

Delicious food and great service, best Mexican in whole Tulsa metro area! Hours are a little tricky but it's worth it.

After restoration and remodel.... Yes, the dining room is bigger and updated. The wood on the walls makes it seem more modern yet homey. We went on a Saturday night and went a bit early to miss the crowds. By the time we left, people were waiting out front on the benches. Service is good but we were in the back corner and it took a while for our chips and drinks to be refilled. Again, it was a very busy night. Steak fajitas were good but needed more tortillas. The verde chimichanga was really delicious---more baked and not fried (which is good). The pork inside was tender and I love the verde sauce. We also tried the queso which was rich without being cloying. Two salsas come with the chips---one is very fresh and mild tasting; the other is a bit spicier. Still has the family and hometown feel. read more

Good food with fast service. It is pretty typical menu but cooked well. Fresh salsa is awesome

The food tasted as good as it looks!! A cold blustery February day demanded a good hot plate of Chili Verde. This was our second visit to El Fogon. This little family owned Mexican restaurant continues to excel in food quality and service! A couple of years ago, we ate here a straight up 12 noon. The place was packed. What was noticeable then was that El Fogon is staffed sufficiently to crank out their tasty food for the big lunch time crowd. We had the Carne Asada and the Green Chili Burrito. Both excellent! Today's visit was the Chili Verdi and an Enchilada & Chile Relleno Combo plate from their dinner menu. The Chile Verde was a large plate of filling, warming, delicious authentic chopped pork stew in a fire-roasted green tomatillo sauce. The huge combo plate was one ground beef stuffed enchilada topped with white sauce and one poblano pepper filled with cheese & topped with tomato ranchera sauce. Both meals came with rice and beans. Very flavorful, nothing bland on these plates! The salsas here are very good too. The red tomato based salsa has a little bite to it from the peppers, with garlic, chili powder and cilantro. The other sauce is a roasted pepper/tomatillo. Enjoyed them both. The service here is very good. The restaurant's motto is "Everyone is Your Server." They are true to their motto. Regardless of which waitress passes your table they will check on you! read more

Always wanted to try this spot. Loved that they were taking extra precautions for COVID. The food came out super quick. I wish they had a drink menu or margaritas. The food was really good. Got the wrong ticket at the end but got that settled real quick! read more

From the service to the food, this is a place I highly recommend. The staff are awesome. The food is seriously SO GOOD! The only complaint I ever have is how stuffed I feel when I leave! Check the hours before you head that way, they're closed on Sundays and don't open until 2 through the week, that's a new development. read more

Best authentic Mexican food in the area. Family owned, great customer service and good selection of Mexican foods.

This is by far the best Mexican restaurant in town! Awesome attentive service, out of this world flavor, great salsas & reasonable prices. no full bar but they have bottles beer and michiladas that are great and iced cold! Always great food, never disappointed. read more

This place is very unassuming From outside. Inside is clean as a pen. Lots of cars when I pulled up. Gotta be one of the best Mexican food places I've ever eaten in. Their hot salsa is great. Hot but not too hot. I had the Mexico City beef and chicken tacos. As good as any of the best taco places I ate in out in Phoenix a couple Of years ago. Probably better. If you're near you should try this place. So glad I went. And service was top notch as well. read more

Not my typical photo, but was trying to snap one quickly since the food smelled so good for the 25 minute drive I had. I was dying to dig in and try these tacos out. Some of the best street tacos! The spicy pork was definitely my favorite. So much flavor and quality. We even ate the whole pepper and all. We also ordered cheese dip and the meal came with chips and salsa. I cannot say enough about this meal. Will definitely be making the trip to owasso to eat here again. So worth it! read more

The only thing good in this restaurant is the service. My salad was not tasty. My partner's vegetarian burrito was lacking in vegetables. More rice than anything. When we go "out to eat" we expect the food to be better than what I can cook. This was not!! We will not be back, EVER!! read more

In a town infested with Mexican food places, El Fogon is a nice change. We have become regulars, and even my picky 11 yr old makes this her place of choice when we eat out. The place is small, to be sure, but wait times aren't usually a problem. The salsas are great, especially the roasted pepper version. Wish they'd serve that one warmed up, but that's not a deal breaker at all. The queso is very good, with a nice flavor and texture... not too watery, not too thick. We've had several items from the menu, and have yet to be disappointed. The Chile Verde is particularly good, and if you've read my reviews, you know that's sort of a litmus test for me with Mexican places. Service is always great.... staff are friendly and on point. Prices are much more reasonable for better food than places like Los Cabos and Ted's. You're not paying for garnish and frills at El Fogon... just good, solid food. read more

Everything is soooo Yummy! The restaurant is always clean! The staff treat you like family and I freaking love them! Wish they were open longer so we could go there more! read more

Food, service atmosphere is always great. This is always our "go to" place in Owasso. We've never been disappointed!

A 'more' authentic dining experience. The small cafe setting has very efficienct service and delicious menu items. An area favorite. Cozy atmoshpere and friendly staff. Owasso #1 eatery. Check open/closed. Construction on intersection near business interrupted business late 2022. Enjoy. read more

Came here for a brother and sister lunch. My brother got the Menudo while I got the Super Burrito. The Menudo was a great choice, especially since they only offer it on the weekends. My brother has been craving for Menudo and said it completely satisfied him. However, for my burrito I was very disappointed. On the menu it states that rice and beans come inside and are optional, as well as choosing what kind of meat you would like. It didn't state that rice and beans were the only thing that would be in the burrito along with your meat. Although it was nice to have sour cream and guacamole on the side, overall my burrito just lacked flavor. read more

The best food and the most amazing staff!! Our families go to for lunch or dinner!! We love El Fogon!!

This is my favorite Mexican restaurant. The carne asada is absolutely amazing every time. We always start with the queso and guacamole. I also love the camarones mojo which is a garlic shrimp dish with rice and beans. The shrimp quesadillas are a favorite of the family too. The staff treat us like family and always recognize us and remember our orders. Love this place so much it feels so comfortable and welcoming. read more

This is my go to spot for Mexican food! I really love everything about this place! The salsa, chips, and quest are all great! I love the crispy tacos! They use a unique shell recipe I have never seen elsewhere. Absolutely delicious! I also really love the secret pineapple bowl called "pina el fogon" which isn't on the menu but is delicious! There are tons of Mexican restaurants to choose from in Tulsa and Owasso and this one stands out as the best in my opinion! read more

A smaller family owned restaurant with good chili rellenos, my husband's favorite. Good chicken entre's, no tinny/salty taste. Good service, fair prices- and a broad menu selection. Worth the visit near Owasso's German corner. read more

This is not traditional Mexican food. Pouring white cheese sauce is not a Mexican way to prepare food. That's an Okie thing. When food is good flavor you don't have to pour Queso all over a burrito. we come from California and we know good traditional Mexican food. And this place is terrible. And so is any kind of TeX Mex crap. read more

Mexican food on cheese sauce? That's new for me and delicious. Had cheese enchiladas with the cheese sauce and was pretty good. They also have Modelo Negra my favorite beer, if you are a beer lover and haven't try Negra Modelo please try it and let me know what do you think. Back to the food it was very fresh and the right amount for me but if you are very hungry go for the super burrito that thing is gigantic and mi love was very pleased! read more
