La Fogata Restaurant: Reviews & Ratings
I would definitely consider this a hidden little gem. I passed by it all the time. It's conveniently located right off of the 10 freeway, you exit, you go straight from the light and boom it's right there! Couldn't be more convenient than that. There's a liquor store across from it, the In-N-Out is across the street, it's a good size parking lot. I loved how the restaurant was decorated, a lot of thought and detail was put into making this place beautiful. I'm a sucker for pictures so having the old Hollywood style photos on the wall were a nice touch. I didn't even realize they had a bar like that in here, I will most definitely come back with some friends. The food was delicious I ordered to go Chilaquiles's and asked if I can have chicken added which they were nice enough to do so for me. The food is great the girl in the front was friendly, the place was clean I love the decor. It's a beautiful family restaurant.
One of my favorite parts of living in La is having real authentic Mexican restaurants. If you want something that feels like you're getting home cooking in Mexico La fogata is a can't miss gem. With movie posters from Old Time Mexican movies decorating the walls, and a darn near shrine to Maria Felix and Vicente Fernandez, everything on the menu is exquisitely Mexican. With a full bar and a dark ambience place is sure put you in the mood.
I am struggling to find the words to accurately describe how incredible the food was at La Fogata. We are from San Diego, which arguably has some of the best Mexican food in the US, but it took us visiting Baldwin Park for our daughters cheer competition to have the absolute best chile relleno I have ever had (and I have had them in Mexico). The beans were also insanely flavorful. The service was fantastic. Our waitress was lovely. I am praying we have a reason to return soon!
Everything, food is delicious, the Beans, the Beans are Fire!! The Carne Asada, the Carnitas are all delicious!
Food is good, servers are nice, margarita on the rocks was great. Will come back again
Same good ol food. But with inflation and wage hikes, the portion got smaller and cost a little bit more. But I'm always happy to support. Service is not too busy for Friday lunch. And the restaurant has nice decor and quiet.
