La Fogata

Many people on Unilocal quest for «authentic» Mexican; it means something different to everyone. I am looking for one of two varieties: The Legendary-​Southwest-​US-​Mexican and/​or the guisado plates and fresh corn tortillas you can find at every home-​kitchen-​restaurant in Mexico. I don’t think La Fogata had either. The horchata was good, plentiful and not too sweet, but my chile relleno was actually a salty pile of ground meat. The enchilada was similarly bland and encased in a stiff tortilla. Finally, I know nobody goes crazy over the rice and refried beans, but my $ 8 combo plate didn’t include either! I left feeling full, but also disappointed.
No thanks, La Fogata, I’m going to continue questing.

I came here with the fam, who like this place a lot. Having been to Arizona I know what good Mexican food taste like, and this place had it. The staff was extremely friendly. We were seated right away, and had chips and salsa a few minutes after. Everyone ordered something different so we could taste off one another’s plates. Best way to eat if you ask me. The portions were generous, especially for the price. Everything was cooked very well. I’m not a fan of refried beans, but from what I was told, they are very good as well. I ordered the fajitas (I always do, but I think it’s the best thing ever!) and I could barely finish my plate.
When I’m in town again, I will definitely try to stop by!
