Poor food experience
Provided by Citysearch
We had guests from out of state in town and they had heard about La Fogata, We really wanted to go Rosario's but decided to go here instead. Big mistake. The food was mediocre at best, which is not good in a town like SA. The shrimp nachos were completely soggy when they came to the table...You had to eat them with a spoon. My guests had enchiladas and they didn't even hardly touch them because they were so bland. Perhaps at one time La Fogata was a great food establishment, but obviously not now.

IT IS NOT GREAT AS I HAVE EXPECTED
Provided by Citysearch
We were searching the best Margarita in San Antonio so we decide to give La Fogata a try. We asked for an outdoor seating and ended up seated in a place covered with a big tent which I do not consider outdoor. We had a very attentive waiter, the salsa was good and the food came out piping hot. We ordered the Top Shelf Margarita which was good but I have better elsewhere. For meal we had the Picadillo Enchiladas and Chile Relleno with Beef Picadillo. The Rice, Borracho Bean and Chile Relleno are all very bland. The enchiladas are average. The food is kind of pricy. We will continue our search elsewhere. By the way we prefer Rosario’s on S Alamo Street than La Fogata. \r \r

Took forever to be seated and waited on.
Took forever to be seated and waited on. The food is horrible, tasted like it came out of a can. You have to drink a few margaritas so that you can't tell how bad the food really is. Way over priced.

I really expected more from this restaurant.
Provided by Citysearch
My actual rating would really be about 2.5 stars--mainly for atmosphere and service. We had a group event (about 18-20 people) at this place so I got the opportunity to eat at this place for the first time. When you enter this place--you really feel like you're at one of those seaside resorts with a restaurant. Very festive like another reviewer said. The place is very clean and there's a lot of space to talk with friends/family if you're waiting to be seated. I'm sure the outdoor seating is nice during cooler weather. We lucked out, because got their around 5:30p--before the weekend real dinner rush. Once seated--the waiters took our orders for drinks and food. Both came relatively quick--probably because the place was not yet crowded with people. I ordered a Chicken Quesadilla Plate, but it was far from what I expected. It was more like a chicken fajita plate with rice, beans lettuce and guacamole (like what you would get at Taco Cabana) and ice tea for $18.25 (with 20% gratuity 6+ people). This plate included one small tortilla with some chicken in it, a little bit of rice and beans and just enough lettuce/guacamole to fill a taco. That was it. Too much $$ for too little. There are other better places to get Mexican food. Don't let this place make you form an negative opinion about the quality of Mexican food served in San Antonio. If you don't care about the food (or want to save money)--you're better off going to a Taco Cabana and ordering a Chicken/Beef Fajita Plate. At least you get two soft tacos with chicken/beef, a good helping of beans, rice and condiments at two extra soft tortillas and a large tea for half the price and you don't even have to leave a tip. I probably won't be going out of my way to revisit this restaurant.

Good Mexican Resturant
Provided by Citysearch
My family went to San Antonio on vacation and while there we ate at La Forgata Mexican Resturant. The resturant was decorated beautifuly. The waitstaff was nice. The margaritas were great!. I had the Polo Loco and the chicken was grilled to perfection. Will go back when in town.

never again
Provided by Citysearch
The only thing this place has to offer is the setting/atmosphere...well, and the service was somewhat okay.\r \r The food and drinks are EXTREMELY OVERPRICED for the quantity and the quality. Seventeen bucks for two tacos? three dollars for a tiny side of cheese? puhleeze.\r \r I'm pretty sure San Antonio has better Mexican food to offer.

Wonderful atmosphere -- worth the wait!
Provided by Citysearch
Took my family and niece for a taste of good mexican food. The wait was long but we were seated long before what we were told. We ate outside and enjoyed awesome margaritas -- the mango margarita is outstanding! I thought the fajitas needed some seasoning and my daughter's appetizer had to be sent back. The kitchen never did get it right but they happily adjusted our bill.\r \r The atmosphere makes it all worth it. Next time we'll try chicken mole that other reviewers have said is the best.

Great Atmosphere
You can sit either inside or outside of this restaurant. Pretty good food and great margaritas. I enjoy sittig outside and people watch. If you haven't visited this place yet, you must go and find out what the buzz is all about!

The Best
Provided by Citysearch
The best atmosphere, the best (and largest) traditional margaritas and the best chicken mole, what more could you ask for?

Mostly very good... only a few things not so good
Provided by Citysearch
This is a pretty place to visit and to bring friends from out of town even if it's too hot in the summer to dine outdoors during the day. It's like visiting a little village! The food is always at least decent and even pretty terrific depending on what you order. Yes, the margaritas are good and I mean the regular ones that aren't full of the extra this and that, are good! Service is good. Its sad to read that some people have experienced otherwise. So, other than the hot summer afternoons, I think the chips are stale and this should be very easy to fix.

A San Antonio Classic
Provided by Citysearch
This is where I bring people from out of town when they want authentic Mexican food. The atmosphere and staff are very welcoming and the food never dissappoints. (OK, once I had the mole and I didn't like it, but that's when I learned I don't like mole) Viva La Fogata

Very Upset Long Time Customer
Provided by Citysearch
I have been coming to La Fogata since I was a little girl, I'm in my thirties now. My father, who the staff knows by name brings clients here. This past weekend while waiting, we had a cocktail waitress pad our bill so much that it was over $100 for 7 margaritas. She didn't bring the itemized receipt and looked nervous when she brought the bill. We overhead the table next to us and this happened to them also. When did the staff become so dishonest?! I am extremely disappointed.

Super!
I went with a group from work and we had a great time. From the margaritas to appetizers to the entrees, everything was superb. Service was also excellent and the mariachis played fantastic, like we were in Mexico.

Decent Food

Nothing really stood out. The service was a bit slow, and our waiter seemed to be forgetful. The food was pretty good, but the chips were a bit stale.

Awesome patio and great food
Provided by Citysearch
One of the best if not the best patios in town. Love the tacos nortenos. Also the mole enchiladas rock the house.

Excellent Experience!
Provided by Citysearch
Wow, it was REALLY good! Had the ceviche, rajas chile pablano, enchiladas mixtas, and the margarita. Excellent across the board. Service was top notch Very friendly. Prompt. Plenty of parking. I went ""off-peak"" hours...so lunch / dinner must be busy (longer wait). But either way, wait or no wait...definitely worth it! Highly recommend La Fogata...and will be back.

The best place in town
Anything you eat from Guacamole a mano to the shrimp alambre you can't go wrong. The drinks, the food and the ambiance are difficult to beat.

Great Food, Atmosphere and Margaritas
Provided by Citysearch
Nestled between I 10 and 410 on Vance Jackson, La Fogata is one of the premier Mexican Food Restaurants in San Antonio. Upon arrival, you stroll into a bustling courtyard complete with fountains and patio ware not to mention the large warming fire pits and heaters during the winter. Be sure to get there early as there is almost always a long waiting list for a table. Also be sure to grab an award winning margarita at the window bar near the hostess stand, and do not hesitate to upgrade to ""Top shelf"" status because it is only a dollar more. The atmosphere eats the waiting time as you drink your ""Top Shelf"" Margaritas with your company. Upon seating, you will soon find a server at your table offering appetizers and taking a drink order. Soon, your chips and salsa will arrive fresh and hot. There are multiple salsas made in house so do not hesitate to ask the server about additional selections. Soon you will be ordering your fresh and traditional mexican meal. Feel free to try the ""Um poquito de Todo"" for a selection of favorites from the house. Also excellent is the enchilada assortment with which comes rice and beans.
