They have a very polite staff. All of us enjoyed the food. Everything I had tasted good. My 4-year-old son first sat down and exclaimed that he wanted a burger. We convinced him that Mexican food is what we came to eat here, and later he said that we need to eat at this restaurant again when we are back in this area. So, they won him over. When we were getting up to leave, my 2-year-old daughter was still in the booth eating. We told her, "Come on! Let's go!" She replied, "I'm not full yet." I guess she liked it, too!

La Fogata serves up some mighty fine Mexican food and drinks right in the heart of Dixie! [Oh, is…read moreit still okay for me to say "Dixie?"] I digress. But, to return to my initial point, the team at La Fogata certainly have perfected what it takes to assemble an authentic Mexican Restaurant. My mom and good friend Heather live near La Fogata and visit often. They are huge fans of the lunch portion of Shrimp Fajitas (oh, and I saw the shrimp; they are HUGE). I did manage to sneak a taste, and I concur that this is a super tasty dish. Other dishes I tried included: (1) the Queso Dip (was more Tex-Mex style), which was creamy and tasty; (2) the Chili Relleno, which was lightly battered, pan fried, and yummy; and, (3) the Chicken Soup, which was light yet super, duper flavorful. And, of course, there were the rice and beans, which were equally tasty! As for the staff, they are super friendly. I saw one other review from someone who complained about problems with the waitstaff, but I suspect they have sorted this problem out, as this was not my experience at all. Note that, besides an inside dining room, La Fogata has an outside deck that overlooks a lake. On our visit, we ate on the deck (I'm mean, come on, it's covid... I am not taking chances yet)... but I would recommend eating outside even during normal times, as it's quite peaceful and inviting. Bottom Line: You should check out La Fogata if you're in the area and are jonesing for some tasty Mexican

They didn't have cornbread (a little disappointing), but the hush puppies made a great substitute and soaked everything up perfectly. I also tried the boudin balls, which were flavorful and tasty, though I felt they leaned a little too heavy on the rice and could've used more meat. Still, very enjoyable overall. The staff was friendly and kind. Service was straightforward--no extra chatter or banter, which I do think is something missing from today's dining experience, especially with younger staff. If you leave here hungry, that's on you! I'd definitely come back the next time we're on this side of town.
