The salsa they served me was frozen and came out in icy chunks. I ordered a dish I've had a dozen times at the location in 8th st and it came out super fast. Unfortunately, it was also lukewarm (the cheese on the inside of the enchilada wasn't even melted) and the meat portion was DISGUSTING. It wasn't even made with the same ingredients as the location on 8th st. I want this place to be good, I adore the other location - but it's been bad too many times for me to ever return. Do yourself a favor and go to the location on 8th Street.

I picked up an order and was super disappointed. Their food is great but I ordered $12 dish of guacamole and it’s literally one smashed avocado with veggies in it. It taste great but talk about feeling ripped off.
The best waitress served me.

Happy 8th birthday El Fogon! My husband and I went for a lunch date. The chimichanga appetizer and shrimp tacos were both delicious. Service was friendly and accommodating.

We had a fantastic experience dining here! The food was absolutely delicious — every dish was rich in flavor and tasted truly authentic. You can tell they use quality ingredients and traditional recipes. The service was outstanding as well — warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming from the moment we walked in. On top of that, the prices were very reasonable for the quality and portion sizes. Overall, it’s a great place to enjoy a flavorful, mouth-watering food without breaking the bank. Highly recommended!

Get the Rusa Limonada! It was the most refreshing drink I’ve ever had. The Birria tacos were amazing too. Best ones I’ve tried in the metro so far.
