" Our visit to La Fogata Taqueria took a downturn due to lackluster service. The food was great, but it just felt like we were forgotten by our server. We'd wait ages for drink refills and checks. I had the shrimp enchiladas, which were flavorful and satisfying, so that saved the experience somewhat. I do think the place has potential, but improvement in service could make a big difference in my future visits. " (*Curated Review*)

" Fantastic experience from start to finish! I dined here last week with my family and we were blown away! The menu offers a wide array of choices, and everything sounded so tasty, it was hard to pick what to order. My husband chose the enchilada trio, while I went with the duck tacos; both dishes were excellent! We were regularly checked on by our friendly server, who provided recommendations based on our preferences. If you’re in Sioux City, I’d say don’t miss out on La Fogata. " (*Curated Review*)

" As a frequent traveler to Mexico, I have high expectations for Mexican cuisine, and La Fogata did not disappoint! The ambiance was comfortable, and upon entering, we were greeted warmly. I opted for the sopes, and they were delightful! The handmade tortillas could be tasted right away, filled with fresh ingredients. The service was also commendable; our waitress was attentive yet not intrusive. A true hidden gem that I would highly recommend if you're in Sioux City. Just writing this review is making me crave their food again! " (*Curated Review*)

" Delightful little gem! If you love Mexican food, you shouldn’t miss it. I had the tacos al pastor and they were cooked to perfection! The pork was juicy and flavorful, and the herbs they used blended wonderfully. The service was prompt, even though it was busy, and the server was cheerful. I think this will be my regular spot from now on! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was super excited to try La Fogata but came away feeling mixed. The ambiance was nice, and the place had a cozy feel to it. However, the dish I ordered, the mole, was surprisingly bland and did not meet my expectations. The service felt rushed, and I would have appreciated more attention while dining. I might visit again for a different dish, but I wasn't blown away this time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Love this place! La Fogata Taqueria is our go-to spot for family dinners. Not only do they deliver large portions, but every bite is full of authentic flavor that takes me back to Mexico. The kids enjoy their meals just as much as the adults, which is hard to find. The staff is consistently friendly, and we always feel very welcomed. The atmosphere is casual yet lively. I suggest the tacos al pastor—they're out of this world! We practically eat here every week; it’s that good! " (*Curated Review*)

" La Fogata Taqueria is a must-visit if you want genuine Mexican cuisine. The menu is crafted with love, presenting everything from flavorful tacos to rich, savory enchiladas. On my last trip, I ordered the enchiladas suizas which were creamy and comforting, served with rice and beans on the side. The service was impeccable—our server was attentive without being overbearing, offering suggestions based on our preferences. The ambiance was cozy, though a bit lively given the crowd. However, this only added to the vibrant Mexican experience. It is worth every penny, as the prices are more than reasonable for the quality of food provided. A definite recommendation for anyone looking for a hearty meal! " (*Curated Review*)
