The food is so delicious at Los Foquitos they could probably have terrible service and I'd still be…read moreback. They don't though. The servers at Los Foquitos are Johnny on the spot professionals. They hustle and you get your meal fast, no matter how packed it is and it's been packed every time I've visited.
It can be a little intimidating your first time. Foquitos are little light bulbs in Spanish. I don't know why this is the restaurant's name BUT I've always come here at night and it's a bright spot on a busy road. There is NEVER parking out front so you will park in the middle of the highway. It seems shady, don't worry, it's ok, they have enough attendants to help you park and then run like a crazy person across the highway when there's a break in traffic. Again, don't worry, you'll be ok & there's a reason people are willing to run across a highway to eat here. There may be armed police out front with their faces covered. Again, don't worry, this is a popular place and they are there for your safety. There may be body guards out front. This is because Los Foquitos is so popular you will see EVERYBODY here. The rich (with body guards in tow), the poor, the young, the old, even clowns rub shoulders here. There were clowns dining here from a circus that had stopped in town my latest visit. There is ALWAYS awesome people watching!
Ok, now the food. It's just so good you have to try it. Tacos al pastor, chorizo, carne asada, chuleta, etc etc, they have it. This time I had the tacos al pastor and a chorizo volcán. This last is a crunchy fried tortilla topped with cheese then topped with a mountain of overflowing meat. Finally the best flan Neopolitano. I don't like flan. I'm not a flan person. This is the flan that will convert flan haters. I loved it.
Everything...here...is...delicious.
