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

Great Mexican Food!!! – A regular jaunt at worktime when there's a craving for great and yummy mexican food! Great taquitos, B&C burritos and good guacamole (they actually use REAL avocado chunks!). Pretty busy during the lunch hour so it's best to call ahead for orders.

Good food La Fogata has pretty good food. The prices are ok, and they have a variety of choices. The atmosphere is casual, and kid friendly. They even have choices for those not into Mexican Food.

Great Food,low price – I really enjoy going to eat to La Fogata this food is delicious and cheap, I love getting their macho nachos they more of an appetizer but are great, I also love getting their carne asada plate, the rice and beans are authentic really good place to eat. Best time to go is from 3-4pm if you want to find a good seat. Sundays are always busy so plan ahead.

Never disappoints! – Nothing fancy about this place, but great Mexican food. I particularly love their chicken burritos, but the beans are great too. And very reasonable prices!

Awesome home-style mexican restaurant on Van Nuys by the intersection of 101 & 405. Great food, no table service (but still a classy place), great salsa bar and beer and wine to buy in bottles. Their food is also healthy! (some of it, anyway).

Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner - Fantastico – Have been going regularly for years - best bean and cheese burrito in town (ok, it's really like a big fat quesadilla with beans, there's so much cheese). Recommend placing a phone order before going in, as it's always busy -- especially on Sunday.
