The food is outstanding. The service is always great. The restaurant could use an update but it's always friendly and cozy when we dine in. Take out orders are usually accurate and placing an order is always easy. The salsa has a bit too much cilantro in it for my taste but it isn't spicy so that is always a good thing.

I'm glad my friends told me about this place! Now we go every Tuesday for our weekly taco night. (Sometimes it's actually Thursday but don't judge us. It's always taco Tuesday at La Fogata! ???????? ) They usually aren't very busy and the staff is so nice and helpful. They get your food out in a hurry and it's nice and hot The salsa is good. Oh, and definitely try the loco dip. You won't be disappointed . I like the carné asada. You get plenty of food for the money. The tacos are great as well. (Try the al pastor tacos... it's grilled Pineapple and Pork, it's the best thing since bacon). Give them a try! Come on a Tuesday and you might see us there. We will be the loud table in the corner. ????????

Our family drove through on our road trip. Our waitress was very attentive and the cost was low and reasonable. I will say the food needed better preparation but still good.

My wife and I went for the first time on a Sunday just after Church. I ordered the house enchiladas (ground beef) and my wife had the Chile relleno and we shared a mango jarrito (mexican soda). It was Busy, which is a good sign for a restaurant. We were seated promptly and immediately served chips and salsa, the chips were fresh and just the right thickness and the salsa was spiced just right with a bit of bite. Our food was served nice and hot, but the plates weren't scorching hot (most mexican restaurants microwave your food right before serving). At first I was skeptical of a white sauce over my enchiladas, but it was delicious, my plate was served with grated mexican cheese, 3 slices of fresh avocados, rice and a mexican salad. The enchiladas were a bit small, but the price point and flavor more than made up for that. My wife commented how good the Chile relleno tasted. We are from Texas and we know good Mexican food and we found our new GO TO PLACE for Mexican food. Enjoy!! Remember to tip your waitstaff!

Small town family buisness… Food is off the charts excellent!!!! Service is excellent, nice comfortable cozy little restaurant to sit down especially in the evening for a family to enjoy good Mexican food. I was only checking their hours out today to see if they were open being a holiday and it don’t look like it but there’s always tomorrow. Their burritos and fajitas are unreal like they’re to die for. Almost just melts in your mouth. There are many places good to go, La Fogata in Collins tops them all. Hot and fresh plates served, nothing sitting around like other places…
