“ HIDDEN GEM IN THE SUBURBS! This was my first time here and I had such an amazing experience! My servers were Olga and Garcia and let me tell you, they had some of the most beautiful personalities ever! They were so kind to me a moment I walked in the door. There was this huge family party going on and Garcia somehow managed to notice me immediately and treated me like I was the only one in the room. He recommended some specials of the day and I ended up getting the leg of lamb. It was so good I think I cried a little bit! Ask for extra sauce. I also had a.steak taco and it was so refreshing to have a piece of meat that was actually very tender! Usually steak tacos can be very chewy. I will be back. Everything overall tastes very fresh here.Thank you Olga for being so kind! ”
“ Hubby and I were having our vehicle serviced and decided to try this new restaurant while we waited. We are so glad we did! We were welcomed in with a warm welcome and quickly seated. Our waitress told us about the specials and explained the menu in detail. The restaurant was very clean and welcoming and had a good ambiance. We chose the guacamole for an appetizer and it was fresh and delicious. The salsas were delicious, but spicy, so perfect for the spicy lovers! We also tried the salmon, one of the fan favorites and it was fresh and delicious as well! Thursday’s they have half off drinks so our beer and margaritas was perfectly priced! We definitely recommend this gem to all who love Mexican cuisine with a nice twist! Great job Fogon! ”
“ New place for us. Loved that it wasn't packed, especially for being Valentine's day. I tried the hibiscus and tamarind margaritas. Both very good and was great to try new flavors. My husband had the michelada and moscow mule. He liked the moscow mules best. One tostada de ceviche was enough for both of us as it was loaded and very good as an appetizer. My husband had the chapuson and loved and finished it all. I had the camarones ala diabla...was not expecting the bacon, and the toasted peppers which allowed me to make it as spicy as I wanted. Different but very good! We're hoping to go back soon with our boys. ”
“ Friendly staff, awesome atmosphere Delicious food Def worth it. To elaborate Me and my partner came her for the first time and sat at the bar seats. We used the electronic qr square menu that was already on the bar. (We later discovered that they have physical menus which we will return another day to see if it's different than the qr menu) I had alot of firsts here The mussel appetizer and Pina colada/mango Pina colada have revolutionized my tastebuds. My partner had the Paloma which was strong but good. More to my taste I had the berry mezcalito, it was tart but delicious to drink. And was a great starter drinks with our appetizer. Our main entrees were the caminos de la Diablo, (I hope I remember the names correctly) which was the spicy shrimp and rice dish. Muy cilente. I ate the pepper my partner gave me and "died" for at least to minutes why the spice lingered on my tongue. My main dish was the Chicken and Eggplant Pasta. Never has an eggplant dish tasted so amazing. I was left speechless . Now the reason I say the Pina colada was revolutionary is because good Pina colada are very hard to come by. Not only was this Pina colada smooth silky and you can taste the alcohol. The alcohol wasn't strong to the point it watered down the drink. This place has literally the perfect Pina colada. For desert we had the bread pudding By God the ice cream on the bread pudding DELICIOUS And we had the Mexican flan which I felt like made my ancestors proud. I could never understand they loved flan but if it was this flan. It made perfect sense. I would never feel the need to go into detail as to why a restaurant is so good. But you can tell this is a passion and not just another restaurant. The chefs did their Thang and the waitresses were amazing. ”
“ Sadly, I don’t have any photos of my food because I just devoured it. It was absolutely delicious though. Just trust me! I had a chicken tamale added some green sauce, a beef tostada and queso fundido con camaron. It’s a weekday but I’m so surprised that others are not aware of this spot. My food was delicious and the service was amazing. Yorlenny was so accommodating for making a custom spicy jalapeno Cadillac margarita for me at my request. I definitely plan to return. ”
