Delicious, savory, satisfying traditional excellence. Props to this unassuming place for serving some of the best Mexican... traditional style food I have had in all of the Chicagoland area. This is as homestyle as it gets, with warm friendly service toboot. Prices are not the same as some old photos posted up from the past- but they make up for it in quantity AND quality!!!There are several tables outside for dining in the sun facing the busy street (Montrose Ave), but you will be enjoying your foodso much you won't even care. Steak tacos were perfect as well as the chicken torta. The bread on the torta was perfectlytoasted, soft and fresh, and the proportions of everything were more than I expected. The traditional refried beans and riceserved on the side were piping hot, tasty, and good proportions as well. My Horchata tasted creamy and sweet, not watered downor overly sugary either. Meat lovers out there, if you are in the mood for an extra big torta, try the signature Fogata Torta-which boasts egg ham AND breaded chicken- dannnng, good luck with that! ???? Read more

La Fogata is near our office and we've been coming here since the Montrose location opened in 2015 and have been loyal ever... since. Amazing food and great staff. The 'Taco La Fogata' with three meats and a unique spicy sauce is incredible! You also musttry their ''Torta La Fogata' - it sounds rather 'busy' with refried beans, breaded steak, cheese, tomato, avocado, ham, slicedhot dog and one scrambled egg, but that has to be one of the best sandwiches ever!

Food was average only good thing was the rice.. and it’s a taqueria. Customer service was a total let down! didn’t even get... a hello or a friendly face. Just stared at me in till I decided to order which was very awkward. I would not recommend, Betterif you make your tacos at home then come here. Read more

The tacos are amazing. I've been living close by to this place for 2 years and I just recently went there and I've bought tacos... 3 times from them in a month. Yes, they got me hooked. Please don't ever change. Gracias. Read more

If you enjoy a real home cooked meal like you get when you arrive to your home town in Mexico tortillas made from scratch... flavors that melt within the first bite and services like family made that meal with love & tenderness this is the place! I wentto visit my aunt at the Montrose cemetery not to far from here 1st time coming & I will definitely be back! I had 5 Tacos DeCarnitas & my boyfriend the Gorditas De Asada amazing!!! Thank you!

First and only visit. I stopped and checked the menu on the wall and ordered accordingly. Once, I ordered I noticed my order was... about $3.49 higher than it should be based on the prices stated on the wall. The cashier then forwarded me a small menu with the"new prices" and I asked her WHY they are displaying the old prices then. She told me they will be update it. Noneless, shedidn't apologize for the inconvenience and expect the full price. I paid and I will never go back. Food wise, nothing out of theordinary. Not recommended ???????? Read more
