Over all good experience and good prices too

Me and my wife were born in San Antonio, so it's safe to say we know what good Mexican food is about. Need to start with how clean this place is. Huge points in my book for a facility having a clean environment. The server (Stephanie) was awesome, very nice, very sociable, quick to take care of the patrons. The salsa was very delicious, chips were good as well. The guac dip is something that restaurants don't seem to get sometimes, this is some good old school recipe guac dip here. I'm a sucker for fish tacos, whether it's tilapia, or cod, or even shrimp. These fish tacos were spot on, fair amount of fish, tortillas were very good, and the sauce was off to the side as I like. Love the crunch that the fried tilapia had to it, no complaints. My wife enjoyed the Tacos de Birria, and this is sometimes where people fail, with over cooking the beef. Not these, the beef was very tender, I had to sneak a piece of my wife's taco. The beans were great, the rice was great, just like back home. No question in my mind, I will bring my folks here when they come up to visit. My mom is originally from Monterrey, Mexico, and I know she would enjoy this spot. If your craving some authentic Mexican food, definitely make this a family night and enjoy the good. You can tell there is passion that goes into this food, and no doubt, we'll be coming back for more.

The only thing I didn't like were the beans - they had a smoky, almost burnt tasting flavor. Overall, great spot! We'll be back.

Spicing Things Up at La Fogata Grill: A Mexican Food Adventure…read more If you're anything like me, a former chef turned travel blogger with a serious soft spot for bold flavors and authentic eats, then you know the thrill of discovering a hidden gem that delivers the real deal. That's exactly what I found at La Fogata Grill, a vibrant Mexican restaurant that's all about sizzling plates, warm hospitality, and the kind of margaritas that make you forget your to-do list. First Impressions: Color, Culture & Comfort From the moment you walk into La Fogata Grill, you're greeted with the inviting scent of sizzling fajitas, fresh cilantro, and slow-roasted meats. The colorful décor, traditional art, and festive vibe set the tone for a fun and flavorful experience. Whether you're coming for Taco Tuesday, date night, or a family dinner, the atmosphere is upbeat and welcoming. The Menu: A Tour of Mexico on a Plate Let's talk food -- because at La Fogata, the menu is a love letter to Mexican cuisine. I started with the fresh guacamole, made tableside and customized to your spice level (pro tip: ask for extra lime and jalapeño if you like a kick). The street tacos are the real deal -- I had the carnitas and barbacoa, each packed with tender meat and wrapped in warm, house-made corn tortillas. Their mole poblano is rich and deeply flavorful, a nod to authentic Mexican culinary traditions, and the chile relleno came out golden-crisp with a creamy cheese filling and perfectly spiced tomato sauce. My wife went for the enchiladas verdes, and let's just say there wasn't a crumb left on her plate. Don't Skip the Sips No trip to La Fogata Grill is complete without a drink in hand. Their margarita game is strong -- from classic lime on the rocks to frozen mango chili and even jalapeño-infused for those feeling adventurous. There's also a wide selection of tequilas and Mexican beers if you're in the mood to sample more. Save Room for Dessert If you've got a sweet tooth like me, the churros with chocolate sauce or the decadent flan will seal the deal. And yes, I ordered both -- for research purposes, of course. Final Thoughts: Worth the Trip La Fogata Grill isn't just a restaurant -- it's a destination for anyone who craves bold flavors and good vibes. The portions are generous, the prices are reasonable, and the service is always delivered with a smile. Whether you're a local or passing through, it's a stop worth making. Take the trip. Order the tacos. Live a little.

I ordered a Acapulco which had flavors of apricot, coconut and pineapple combined. Very well mixed and not overly artificial tasting. I would come back to try different margaritas for sure!

The restaurant was very casual with plenty of TVs to watch sporting events and news. Our waitress was friendly and helpful. To start, we ordered the chips, salsa, and queso to share.

Cheese Curds aren't very common in California, so I try to get them when I come back to visit. I was surprised by the cubed shaped but they tasted okay. I'll probably stick to Culver's for those. Overall, I thought this restaurant was alright and would be open to stop by if I'm in the area. Parking: Free street parking available nearby

The young gal manning the window was polite and friendly. I went with a Chicken Torta, and took it back home to eat, because there are no tables to eat in this parking lot; it's basically a to-go operation. The Mexican sandwich was made fresh to order. Like how they chop the chicken up into smaller pieces. Could have used a tiny bit more filling, but not gonna complain. I liked the sandwich, and double-points for the foil wrapping inside the styrofoam container - held nicely for the ride home and was easy to eat.
