Relax as you dine amidst La Fogata's lushly planted patios with splashing fountains and cantera stone columns, all of which create the atmosphere of a gracious Mexican hacienda. Read more

A definite must if you are in San Antonio. Best margarita you will ever have, and they keep getting better. Amazing food and atmos.

Darlene Fiske

I don't like Mole anything, but I could drink their Mole sauce . I usually have it doused on enchiladas but it would be amazing with anything. You will not be disappointed! Love sitting on the patio !

Genna Speed

Drinks were pricy , but decently strong. Carne a La Tampiquena and fajitas were delicious. Best Mexican restaurant in SA IMO.

JaLa Hill

Came here to celebrate a friends birthday!! Excellent Mango Margarita 's & Mexican Food !! Everything we had we had was fabulous!!

Candice

Drinks are legit, ambiance is nice. We love it as a brunch spot - it gets rowdy on the weekend nights. The food is tasty & waitstaff friendly

Melissa Stewart

By far my favorite restaurant in SA . Try a Blue Margarita and the Quesadilla Norteña plate! Check out the framed pictures, a bunch of famous people love La Fogata too!!

Kendall Waldie

Never had anything I didn’t like here. If you can't decide, they have a plate with a little bit of everything for you.

Kendall Waldie

Steak Ranchero is great! Not sure what to get? There is a plate with a little bit of everything!

The margarita's are FANTASTIC! No wonder they are the best in San Antonio. Sit back enjoy your flaming queso & the mariachi music .

Great margaritas , salsa and guacamole . Probably the best Tex Mex restaurant in San Antonio.

Big huge tex-mex plates. Rice , Beans, Enchiladas . Prepare to run it off the next day. Ambience is cool here. Drinks are classic.

Very cool atmosphere and good prices!'

Brooklynn Spille

I enjoyed my food, but if you are gluten free , this is not the place for you! Their options are very few and plain, because their sauce has gluten.

TheH2theB

The Green Enchiladas are awesome. Top Shelf Margarita or call your own Margarita are worth it!

Wyatt Zalatoris

Tacos al pastor is a hard item to find. La Fogata did not disappoint.

If you're lookin for somethin a lil different, but tasty - try the chile en nogada - come on give it a shot, don't be skeered

Great drinks... but NO LUNCH SPECIALS EVER and full of more Spanish speaking staff than English. :/

We waited over two hours for our table even though we had reservations . It was a special occasion , so definitely not ok to keep 20 people waiting like that. Will never go back there!!!
