yes they have your classic tortas, tacos, burritos, and tostadas... but these are listed under the 'snacks' section of the lengthy 5 page menu. ...snacks. haha. la fogata exposes you to mexican food lightyears before the emergence of doritos locos tacos and baja blasts (both of which i do love too). they have an overwhelmingly large menu, mostly things i've never heard of (probably because it was all in spanish). it took us about 5 minutes to find the burrito section. the bf was set on a steak burrito suizo - which he did devour, but said it wasn't anything special.
i ended up with the shrimp burrito. the massive amount of choices was too much for me to handle. buuut, it was bomb. so amazing. perfectly cooked shrimp, guac inside, all sorts of flavors with every bite. ugh so good. normal burritos run for $4.75 (steal), shrimp was a little more pricey (~$9). the guac was different, the bf wasn't a fan, but i loved it. instead of the usual 90/10 ratio of avacado to tomatoes, it was more like 70/30. neither bland nor too salty, just right. they make it tableside too if you dine in!
if they can make a shrimp burrito THAT delicious, i can't wait to try everything else!
I have been wanting to try this place since I moved back to the area and now I am kicking myself for waiting so long. I worked on the south side and was lucky enough to be able to try some amazing authentic Mexican food. I thought I would be hard presses to find the same quality of food in the burbs. La fogata is really excellent food.
I brought my son here for a quick lunch not knowing how he would respond to real Mexican food and to my surprise he loved it. He devoured his taco and rice and really enjoyed the chips and salsa as well.
Quick table service. Waitress was quick to take our order and checked in on us often.  Complementary chips with  two types of salsa and pickled vegetables.
Really great place and I will be back!
I cannot believe I have not review La Fogata until now! Â This is our regular place to call ahead when we want some good Mexican take-out. Â Some of their prices might seem higher than average but their portions are HUGE! Â We usually get 2 - 3 meals out of just one dish from there, depending on what we get. Â I have yet to try something there I didn't like. Â If you don't call ahead you'll most likely just wait 10 minutes for your food.
Review Source:I have worked in the Tri-Village area for 12 years now, and have eaten in just about every Mexican restaurant - and "Mexican restaurant" (there is a difference) in the area. I am a gringo, but my wife of over 5 years hails from the heart of Mexico, and she and her family have taught me much about REAL Mexican cooking. Â So much for my qualifications.....
When it first opened, La Fogata immediately separated itself from the myriad burrito stands in the area by offering a wide variety of menu selections from the basics (tacos, etc.) to food which I had never heard of (huitlacoche quesadillas, hauraches, etc). Â
The multitude of menu selections ensures that whether you are looking for just a quick snack or want to sit down with the family and enjoy a full dinner, you will not be disappointed. While the prices may be a bit higher on some items as compared to some of the "$4.00 burrito special!" joints, the superior quality of food at La Fogata is well worth it.
The quality of the meals served on every visit is consistently delicious, and I can honestly say that there has never been a meal in my many, many visits that has disappointed me (though there have been some that made my eyes water!)
Standout selections include the huitlacoche (corn mushroom) quesadilla, the pechuga Fogata (seared chicken breast & poblano peppers in cream sauce), and chilequiles (tortilla chips simmered in salsa).
While the restaurant is not very big, the space is well used so it is cozy by not cramped. The dining area and bathrooms are always clean. Waitstaff have always been pleasant and attentive.
If you are looking for authentic Mexican recipes which are well-prepared with quality ingredients, then La Fogata is definitely the place to go. Â If your definition of "Mexican food" equals "cheap burrito", then I encourage you to broaden your horizons and learn what real Mexican cooking is all about - and if you still only want a burrito, the Burrito Fogata will be the best you have ever eaten!!
One of the best in the area, amazing menu many many regional specialty's that you don't see anywhere else. Can be a bit overwhelming to the taco bell crowd. Amazing selection of Totas. Dont let this small strip mall place fool you its not your run of the mill taco/ burrito joint. Great Breakfast also.
Review Source:So I went back the other to try this place again. I think it's under new management or something. The staff all speak english now which makes ordering and asking for extras a lot easier.
The food is much better. I'm hooked on their beef res (beef soup). It's a great deal. For only $9 you get a huge server of beef soup with large chunks of meat, vegetables with a side of rice and tortillas!
If you're in the area give it a try! It's a clean place, easy parking and waitstaff are nice.
