La Fogata II

Worst customer serve I have ever experienced in my entire life! No joke. Waitress /​Bartender Silvana had the nerve to be upset with me for sending back my cheese enchilada plate. So much for the customer is always right?
We just moved from Texas and we’ve checked out a few Mexican restaurants in the area and this place is by far the least authentic. It’s bar food.
The salsa wasn’t spicy it tasted like straight tomato paste, we asked for a glass of water easy on the ice; she brought it with 2 cubes.
I felt bad about sending my plate back and offered to pay at least half of it despite only taking a few bites. Most restaurants are courteous and offer to void it and offer something else. Not here… Instead she rudely said of course you’re paying there wasn’t anything wrong with the plate it’s just tortilla and cheese.
Nonetheless, I paid for half the plate despite them returning the plate to the kitchen full. We didn’t feel the least bit accommodated.
Never again!

My family and I were pleasantly surprised at the quantity and quality of food served at this establishment. The staff is friendly and though the food took a bit of time to arrive it was worth the wait. So far this is my go to mexican restaurant in the area since Migelitos closed down. I don’t often write reviews unless I’m either extremely impressed or highly disappointed. Thank you for being such a rare find in Wellington. Good food, good price, good experience.

Nothing like chomping on great chips and salsa. Great drink specials. Ask for green salsa if you like spicy.

Best mexican restaurant in Wellington by far. Staff is friendly & service was great. Food was amazing and the price was even better!!! Our me go to place for great Mexican food.

The food at the Wellington location is every bit the same superior quality as the North Palm restaurant. Their forte seems to be burritos. They serve many different ones, and they’re all oversized and excellent. The tacos aren’t authentic (you have to go to Lake Worth for that), are overpriced, small and chewy. Chili relleno is good enough. I’m picky about Mexican food, but make no mistake: I believe Fogata is the best in town.
The in-​house service has always been excellent, as long as you can get a seat. It seems Fogata de Wellington isn’t a secret anymore, and it’s always crowded now. Fogata de Wellington hasn’t adapted to the traffic well.
The food and in-​house service have remained good, yes, but completing a takeout order has become a weird exercise in futility. See, I am in possession of toddlers that cannot be taken in public. They are the type of children that you see in a restaurant and lose your monocle at their behavior. We’ve tried beatings, drugs and hypnotherapy. Nothing works. The only restaurant dining we can do now is takeout. This is a public service. This is a favor to Fogata de Wellington.
On a good day (let’s say a «good day» is «Tuesday»), the phone gets answered after the 5^th redial, and we’re put on eternal hold, hearing happy patrons drinking at the bar, as though the phone receiver was put there as a sort of torturous hold muzak.
That’s it. That’s the end of the story. They don’t answer the phone, and when they do, I get a seat at the bar, which does me no good because I am not there.
I’ve stopped calling Fogata de Wellington because, frankly, we can no longer stomach the disappointment. Everyone gets in a frenzy for supreme burritos, then an hour later, we’re eating peanut butter sandwiches, still on hold listening to fellow Wellingtonians get drunk.
I don’t like greasy Tijuana Flats, I was disappointed in Café Tequila and Taco Bell is just too far.
Now we order a lot of Dominos Pizza.
Thanks a lot, Fogata de Wellington.

Great Mexican food. We loved the warm crisp tortilla chips and the flavorful salsa. The cheese dip was addictive. We could have licked the bowl. The chicken roja with cheese was very flavorful and filling. The chicken was pounded thin and grilled. My daughter enjoyed her taco salad with chicken. The server was friendly and attentive.

3 stars just for the great, friendly service they gave us.
Food won’t take half star.
1. Chips: great quality, they should keep it in a warmer instead reheat then before serving them.
2. Nachos: Meat was enough for the amount of chips in the plate, melted cheese does not Help the flavor, I would reduce the amount of chips in the plate and top the nachos with their white queso dip.
3. Queso Dip: Good.
4. Steak quesadillas: you really can’t mess up Tortilla and cheese.
4. Beef Fajita: meat quality wasn’t good at all, chewy, not grill at all, fajita depending on the restaurant should be made out of marinated grilled skirt chopped in fine slides served in sizzling plate.
I would probably visit this place for their bar and desserts.

My favorite place for Mexican food. Fantastic Chimichangas, my favorite and the service is always good whether it is lunch or dinner.

Great service and authentic Mexican food. Carne Asada and the Chimi’s are amazing. Best Mexican in Wellington by far.

The staff was very nice and accommodating. The food was ok nothing special. It was pricey for the quality of the food. I doubt we will be going back any time soon. I had chicken fajitas and would not recommend them.

I came here for lunch once, was very good. But today i came in, place was happening, there was no one waiting for a table and i asked the hostess if we can take a booth at the bar. She said she would have to ask the manager. she left came back a while and said the manager said no??? its not the fact that we waited five minutes before she even came to ask to sit us but I’m giving you my money, i want to sit in an open booth and you say no really? this is the worst i have ever been treated in a restaurant hands down. It totally ruined the mood because i left and this is the worst Unilocal i have ever reviewed. My question is how does she know how much more than four people i was going to spend in that bar booth? dumb decision and poor business management. But yet people apparently accept this? wow suckers!!!

Actual address is 11 924 Forest Hill Blvd. NOT 1924.
Went there Friday night and with reservations was seated promptly. Waitress took drink orders during Happy Hour and brought chips and salsa. Chips were hot and salsa mild — which I prefer. Service was exceptional and food was excellent. Dining room and rest rooms were clean. Will definitely return.

Pretty good mexican food. I felt like the food was lacking flavor but the food is also not greasy at all, which I really like. So it’s a catch 22. They do put a ton of meat in the entrees which is much appreciated.
Service was good, atmosphere is nice.
It’s pretty close to my house so I’m sure we’ll go back, but we aren’t in a rush to go back.
It’s also on the pricey side…

I love this place! The food is great, service is always fast and with a smile, and the prices are reasonable. This is a great place for authentic Mexican cuisine and the salsa is to die for, I will go there just for that. Don’t worry about anything being too spicy unless you actually want it that way. I recommend the burrito supreme with ground beef!

Love this family run Mexican restaurant. Quality food from homemade salsa and a very hot green sauce to classic enchiladas. Mole is nice and fish tacos are flavorful. A must if you are in Wellington. Silvana at the bar keeps the drinks flowing and makes you feel at home.

Went to dinner with my family the Taco Salad was hideous we complained about it and was refused service at the bar stating that the bar was closed even though we had an open check 45mins prior to closing! The service is poor and no manager on duty to complain to!!! Don’t waste your time and go there!

Great lunch menu and seriously the best queso around! Haven’t gone for dinner, but lunch is a great value, really good quality food and great service. Will keep going back for sure

I work at the CVS right next door and I placed a take out order and they refused me, cause it was a hassle… NEVER will I eat there again… their food is good but their customer service is the worst I’ve ever seen in my lifetime…

Love all the Mexican décor, great salsa, great drinks, but that’s about it. I ordered
The Chili Relleno and the pepper was raw. They also charge $ 1 for extra chips and salsa orders. Asked for a little rice pudding for my infant, the waitress said I could only have the full order of the dessert. I would have paid for even a couple tablespoons of it, but they weren’t willing to accommodate their littlest guest.

Nice atmosphere, good food. The chips and salsa are tasty, but you only get the first basket free. House margaritas are great, but served in one of those glasses with the thick bottom so it looks like a bigger drink than it really is … :-(All in all, it’s good mexican food close to home.
Servers are friendly and attentive, and food comes out fast — hence, the four stars.
