I ordered the salsa mango salmon, which I should've known better to order salmon at a Mexican restaurant.

Not sure what's happened to this place. They used to be good…read more Waiter was clueless beyond. Simple lunch tacos took 40 minutes and they weren't crowded. Chorizo tasted like hamburger meat, no flavor. Cheese inside enchilada wasn't hot and melted it was cold and hard. They brought one taco instead of 3 to someone at our table. Won't return. Too many other good Mexican options in Lynchburg.

Great find through yelp!…read more We came in for an early dinner and everything was great. It's a small casual restaurant with friendly staff. We ordered chips & queso, a torta, gorditas and talavera texana. Everything tasted really good, lots of flavor. The portions were very generous and we had leftovers. We will definitely be back the next time we are in town.

Yikes! We had high expectations due to the high rating and delicious looking pictures online…read more Unfortunately, the food we received (which was VERY expensive, by the way, and prices for most items were not on the menu) was subpar. We ordered the al pastor tacos with rice and beans, chicken tacos, asada tacos, and asada torta. The good stuff: service was friendly, the wait wasn't too long, and the portions were good (the torta was GIANT). The atmosphere outside would probably be nice at night (they have outdoor seating, tables, lights). The torta was the best thing we ordered, it was good! Unfortunately, all the meat we got was dry and unseasoned. In the torta it was masked by all the other ingredients, but all of the tacos are more simple, so the unseasoned meat couldn't be covered up. The pork on the al pastor was so dry and flavorless I couldn't force myself to take more than a couple bites. The rice and beans also tasted unseasoned and flavorless which was very disappointing. All of this wouldn't have been so disappointing if it wasn't extremely expensive (we are visiting from DC and even street tacos there are cheaper!). We were expecting high quality for a meal that was almost $70 total (9 tacos with one side of rice and beans, one torta, and a soda).

Scammers! Be careful when dining at La Fogata and always…read moredouble-check your bill. I stopped in for lunch and ordered a meal that was listed on the lunch menu for $10, but I was charged $17.61almost double the advertised price. I have no problem paying the price that's clearly listed on the menu, but I won't support a restaurant that charges significantly more than the posted price without a clear explanation. What makes this even more confusing is that I ate here just last week for dinner, and the regular menu items I ordered were only around $12 each. How does a lunch special that's advertised as $10 end up costing $17.61? I left feeling frustrated and disappointed. I'm all for supporting small businesses, but I also expect transparent pricing and to be charged what the menu says. Because of this experience, I won't be dining here again.

I'm going to try to make this short. My boyfriend and I met in college. When I first came to…read moreLynchburg he took me to "the best restaurant in town," La Carreta. Being Mexican myself and being raised in Northern Virginia (cultural hub) I was heavily disappointed. No shame in Mexican food chains but he said "the best." I was expecting authentic. In our almost three years of dating every time I visit I try to find an authentic Hispanic food restaurant in Lynchburg. Because we don't have many in our college town and it's nice to discover what all the small city of Lynchburg holds. This story is already getting long... I stumbled upon this gem on yelp while visiting him. He was at work and I asked his roommate if he ever had pupusas (Salvadorian dish) and the roommate said no but he was down to try it. Later that afternoon we made a point to go to this restaurant and pick up some pupusas. This is authentic Salvadorian food. I guarantee it will satisfy your South American food needs. If you've never tried Salvadorian food I encourage you to expand your palate. It is a little hole in the wall, but definitely worth it. I was surprised at how many country folks were there! They know what's good. P.S Try the rice. It's one of my favorites, I personally like it just as much as Mexican red rice. Also, there are three kinds of pupusas. I recommend the mixed pupusa (mesclada).

Between the people hacking away weeds with machetes outside in the crowded parking lot and the indoor space that had no AC and industrial strength fans blowing just to keep people from melting in the summer, and the takeout container they seemed to have burned some holes in, it was on the sketchy side. The food I took was a vegetarian platter. A corn tamale was tasty, but I kind of wished I'd just gotten pupusas and hopefully been able to get some variety. It's a cuisine worth trying, and there is another similarly named outlet in the area so perhaps I might see if that one is in better shape.

Located in the downtown area of Lynchburg, close to the glass house…read more I started with their house margarita. It was strong but not very enjoyable to drink. If you look at the picture it is clear, I would have liked it in an actual margarita glass at the least or get salt on the rim. I got the texana fajitas to share. This came with shrimp, steak, and chicken. It was good but I have never had a fajita that I did not like. We barely saw our waiter. We asked for water multiple times and finally got it probably 45 minutes after we had arrived and once we received our food. Prices are fair. Note: you seat yourself

BUT first impressions are everything especially on a holiday when you should be prepared for high volume foot traffic. We came in and there was no one at the stand. So we patiently waited and then a woman comes forward but only to ring guests out. Totally understandable and then shortly after a gentleman seats us without menus, water, and chips/salsa. We sit for nearly 15 minutes when we lost our patience as NO ONE came to our table. We waved down a waitress to ask and she told us that she had no idea who was supposed to be waiting on our table. Coming from the restaurant industry, tables are in sections and everyone is designated to a section. It was a lame response. After another nearly 10 minutes a young man finally approaches to get our drink order. Once he came back with our drinks we were able to order our food. Food was delivered by a food runner which was fine and the food was delicious. However we did not see the waiter ever during our meal; we never got water, we didn't have a chance to order another drink and didn't have a chance to order dessert. We had to flag someone down just to get our check which would've been a lot higher had we actually had better service. The man would've also received a better tip as well. Food: 4/5 Service: 1/5 Do better and plan accordingly ESPECIALLY on holidays.

Absolutely amazing!…read more Recommended by a local and we loved it! Upon arriving we noticed the beautifully designed exterior and interior as well. This place is full of details. After being seated we began to look over the menu and immediately noticed that prices. Being from out of town we were surprised to see the food reasonably priced. We even made the joke that back at home the prices would be double. Waiter was kind and attentive to our table. We ordered and food didn't take long to arrive. Another surprising thing were the food portions! They definitely know how to serve a meal. Everything was delicious! We left satisfied and wish we lived closer to come more often, but we definitely will be back when in town again. If you're in the area I highly recommend you give this place a try!
