" A lovely evening spent at La Fogata! The atmosphere was warm and inviting, setting the stage for an enjoyable dinner. Although they experienced a high volume of guests, our server was vigilant, ensuring our needs were met. The food was superb! Flameless cheese was a delightful addition to our appetizers. I’d recommend the tampiqueña for a hearty meal. I’m looking forward to dining here again soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" After a long week, we were excited to try La Fogata. The atmosphere is truly refreshing, mixed with beautiful decorations and live music. The food was delicious too, especially the tableside guacamole! I enjoyed the tacos de pescado, which was fresh and tasty! The only downside was the delay in service; we waited a while for our drinks. I’d still recommend it for a fun night out with friends or family. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had dinner at La Fogata last weekend, and it was nice but not what I expected. We sat inside, and the decor was lovely, but there was an odd smell in the area that was off-putting. The service was very attentive, but my meal—chicken fajitas—were dry. My partner enjoyed their dish though! Overall, I would give it another shot, but I hope for better food next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I've tried La Fogata multiple times, and each visit solidifies it as a must-try in San Antonio. The ambiance is absolutely beautiful; it feels very homey with the vibrant colors and music. I always order the shrimp enchiladas and they never disappoint. The prices are reasonable for the quality of the food served. I've had a few minor service hiccups, but nothing that would deter me from returning to this lovely establishment. " (*Curated Review*)

" Honestly, La Fogata is a mixed bag for me. The margaritas were excellent and perhaps the highlight of the night! Our waiter was nice, but we felt neglected at times. My meal was okay but far from average. I had the shrimp fajitas, and they were unseasoned. The beans tasted off, and I was amazed at how quite a few items were overly salty while others were bland...Very disappointing, especially for the amount we paid. I wouldn’t rush back but might consider it for drinks. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited La Fogata on a busy Saturday evening and was pleasantly surprised by how efficiently they managed the crowd. The atmosphere was lively, and while the wait was a bit long, the food made up for it. I can’t recommend the carnitas enough - they were succulent and flavorful! The pop of spices made it feel truly authentic, something rare to find in most places. The only downside was the service, which was adequate but not outstanding. Overall, a must-try! " (*Curated Review*)

" Simply put, La Fogata is one of the best Mexican restaurants you can find! I celebrated my birthday here and could not have chosen a better place. The atmosphere was perfect for my gathering; warm and welcoming. The food was top-notch—totally authentic! The carne asada was juicy and full of flavor! The service was on point too. I felt spoiled! If you want great food and a lively vibe, this is the place! " (*Curated Review*)
