About this business
Our history begins in the mountains of Mexico, where our founder used to go camping and cook food for his friends around the fire. In 1977, he opened the doors to La Fogata, a name that honors his love for nature, community, and the flame that inspired his passion for cooking. Decades later, that passion still thrives. We're proud to cook some of the best Mexican food in the area, with a focus on fresh ingredients and friendly service. Stop by and enjoy a homestyle meal with the family, and we promise you'll leave with that ... read more

Tasty! This is one of my favorite Mexican restaurants in this area. It's a sit down place but you order and pick up at the front. The enchiladas are really good!
Good Food La Fogata is a tiny restaurant where parking is a problem. But don't let that stop you. The margaritas are wonderful, as is the taco salad. Park near the park and walk.
Mexico simple and good – Great little cafe with Mexican folk art-style design and charm. Lots of windows - sunny. Good sized, inexpensive and was packed at dinner. Faux margaritas for $3.75! I liked that you buy the food at the counter from a very large menu (nice emphasis on steaks) and it's delivered to your table. Without the formal waiter service you can sit and sit and noone gives you the evil eye. (But don't forget to leave a tip - they do serve and clean). I can't wait to go back and try more of their good food!
Give me a break – This place is no better than el polo loco, no, it's worse. Try and ask for a few extra chips with your ugg meal and see what bad service is all about. Do they refill without giving the evil eye here yet? Go Casa Vega if it's at lunch time and spend a few more bucks but get a million more in worth
I'd rather eat an air salad for free – I went to this restaurant based on the reviews written here and I was expecting the best Mexican food ever... but it never came. The burrito I ordered had no taste, the chicken taco had no freshness and the chicken taquitos tasted like they were from a can. The restaurant itself was dirty and I don't know what people are talking about when they say "cheap eats"! Is it cheap ingredients? I found the prices to be very high considering the quality, or lack of quality, of the food. All I ca... read more
Excellent Mexican Food – I really miss this place and I wish they would open up more locations in LA and the OC. I have tried several Mexican restaurants and nothing compares! Great service, reasonable prices, tasty food and fresh salsas.
Amazing – I love this place. They have great burritos, but my favorite is the cheese enchiladas. They have good tasting rice and beans and their salad is great. They also have a little salsa bar to get salsa for the yummy chips. This is my all time favorite mexican restaurant hands down. It is the best tasting for the best price. If you are thinking about dining here, do! The pricing is good. It tends to get busy, partially because it's so good!, but either call ahead and order (which I would reccomend) or just wait in line,... read more
Always a favorite! – This restaurant has never failed to satisfy my craving for good food and always leaves me wanting to come back for more! I used to work in Sherman Oaks and the CPA firm I work for moved to Burbank 4 years ago. Honestly, we have yet to find a restaurant that even comes close to La Fogata. Whenever the girls here in the office & I get that craving, we hop on the freeway and drive out there... traffic and all. NOTHING BEATS THE TAQUITOS AND FRESH SALSA N CHIPS!!!!! They are some of the best I've ever had. T... read more
