We've eaten there twice now and look forward to our next time. The food is delicious!! Service was very good n quick! The ambiance was ok but what makes this place a 5 in my opinion is the food. Definitely recommend. read more

People there are always friendly. When I went by for my pick up, my diabetes was high, and I had to take a shot on site. The girl was extremely caring and rushed to my order and make sure I was OK. I thought she went out of her way to be kind to a stranger. read more

La-Fogata offers a budget friendly American-Mexican menu with the standard staple options. The food was delivered quickly and efficiently and was well prepared with several fresh ingredients. The server was friendly, enthusiastic and courteous. Much better choice than the KFC, McDs & other fast food options in this small southern town. I will eat there again. read more

It was good food, we ordered take out. They did a good job. Good environment, nice service too. read more

This is our go to restaurant in Elberton. The food is always great. The service is timely and friendly. The prices are very reasonable.

The food was delicious service was fast and the atmosphere was just what you would expect from a Mexican restaurant.

Moving to the area and decided to check this place out because Mexican food is in my top 3 favorite foods. I was NOT disappointed in the mood. Service wasn't bad but I did feel rushed. While I didn't use the restroom the restaurant itself appeared clean. I believe I'll be a regular. read more

AMAZING!!! So so so so good!!! Very authentic Mexican food. Service was wonderful. Ambiance was awesome. I will definitely come back again.

Service:: To be fair, Cinco de Mayo crowds: Joined friends friends already eating. 10 min and 3 requests to get a waiter with an attitude. Food: mexican chilaquiles is my favorite, and it was not bad, but it was barely warm. Zero followup to ask about it nor anything else... Price: too high for the quality of food and service. Even though Cinco de Mayo crowds, and an Elberton visitor, I would not recommend this place... read more

Seems a pretty typical Mexican-American restaurant by its design, interior, and most of all the menu, but they're really a cut above. Not finding anything exactly to our liking from the standard menu and wanting traditional Mexican tacos, we asked the host/server up front if they had traditional tacos and he said, sure, they're not on the menu but they could do them--although they only had al pastor and carne asada at the time. We ordered our tacos and were nicely surprised to see them served with a generous portion of rice and beans plus chips and salsa to go--we'd just ordered tacos, not a meal or combo, but they did them up like a meal! And even chips, to go, at that! Very impressed, and also impressed how well they seemed to manage cleanliness and stewardship of their dine-in area while also doing plenty of to-go orders. Superb customer service all around. As for the food, pretty standard. The al pastor was just fine, as good as most, and everything else was pretty good as well. Good salsa especially. So, even if a pretty typical Mexican-American restaurant, they're doing a good job with it and moving forward in tough times with a smile. In addition, I forget exactly what we paid, but it was a whale of a deal for the sheer amount of food we got. read more

We went for lunch midweek when we were camping nearby and sat on the patio. The place was pretty busy. Not much in this little town for dining. The outdoor patio area was nice, but the vinyl table cloths pretty grimy. Great salsa and chips. Ordered combo plates with spinach enchilada (very good) and chili relleno. The chili relleno was not really very traditional at all...see the photo...a cheese and meat mixture (meat in a chili relleno? ) with a small square of a chili on top of it. Very very odd and not at all a chili relleno that's for sure. We're vegetarians and this was a big disappointment to have meat at all. Delish refried beans. The margarita was okay. Pretty sober service from our server. Could have been more friendly. Would say to go check it out, but ask questions if you have any. It's a pretty extensive menu, so you'll likely find something to suit you. Just ask if you have any food restrictions. read more

We love to eat at La Fogata food is always good and is consistently good . No matter what we order

food didn't taste good but it didn't taste bad either. they give you your food fast but don't expect Mitch personally from the staff.me and my family was waiting to be seated and 5 people walked by us and didn't even smile or say hey. our waitress was nice but he just didn't really care about my family. he checked on us twice but he checked on the other table like 10 times since we got here. you can try this place for yourself. read more

We stopped here on the way to Toccoa Falls and pleasantly surprised. They have chili Colorado that was the bomb Diggity. Their guacamole is fresh and the salsa is also fresh and homemade. I would come back here if I lived here read more

Great place to go for food and drink. The staff is great the food is beyond compare and the atmosphere is charming. Definitely try it.

Wa not impressed with the restaurant tonight. Very crowded and took a long time to get out food. Waiter was overwhelmed.

We stopped in only because other restaurants are closed on Sunday, otherwise this was not a top pick. The parking lot was full so we expected that the food would be good, right?! Wrong! Very wrong. We expected that we were going to have a wait since it was so busy, not a problem. So we looked over the menu to order something different since we're from out of town. We ordered: texas fajitas, fajita quesadilla, and a chicken rancheros dinner. Everything was bland!! Thank goodness for the salt, pepper, and hot sauce on the table to add some flavor to the "grilled" meats we ordered. Meats were tough, everything bland, so just go somewhere else to save yourself the dissatisfaction! read more

We've been going here for years and like all restaurants they are struggling to survive in this economy. The food is usually average to good depending on what you order. On our last visit I was in for a surprise when I ordered a spinach quesadilla for lunch. Usually they're made from fresh spinach and pretty tasty, but now they are making them with cheap CANNED spinach. Nasty. Gross. Yuck. I understand the need to cut corners to economize, but the decision to make spinach quesadillas out of canned spinach was a bad choice. read more

The food was good but just make sure your waiter understands what you're ordering even thou you point to it on the menu. Make sure your bill is correct! read more

They are open for inside dining. Great food as well. They wear masks and maintains the 6ft social distances between diners.

I ordered a to-go meal which only cost me $10. I checked my bank account a few days and noticed that they charged me twice the amount. Notify management and issued me a refund. But still it left a sour taste in my mouth and I haven't been back since. read more

We usually visit a different Mexican restaurant in town but they were closed and decided to try La Fogata again. Nothing has changed. Poor service, bland food and cold stale chips. Go across the street if you want some good Mexican food. I really don't know how this place continues to stay in business. read more

The best cheese dip ever! I no longer live in Elberton but when I'm home I'm always sure to stop and eat at La Fagota! Great and fast service along with amazing food! read more

Passed through this town while shopping for new countertops. (It's in the granite capital of the world.) Starving, we pulled in for a quick bite at 2:30 after the lunch rush and weren't sure if they'd still be serving. Went in and there were several tables of people still eating and everything looked good, so we were encouraged but still unsure what to expect. Got the lunch special #12 with a side of pico. De-li-cious! Fresh, hot, quality ingredients, well-presented and more than I could eat. Fiancé got the lunch steak fajitas and they were well seasoned with all the trimmings. Good value, every bit as large as a dinner portion. read more

Food was old and cold for 13. They seriously need to learn balanced portions. I have always ate in the restaurant due to COVID 19 I couldn't . Do not get food to go it's not what you order read more

Never coming back to this place I ordered a shrimp cocktail to go which costs 10$ only to notice afterwards I got charged 13.3 dollars for some reason I don't know since i didn't get a receipt and that's not even the worse part The worse part of it all my big shrimp cocktail only brought 3 shrimps the rest was just water and vegetables Wouldn't recommend this place to nobody And plus I've been told by co workers since I didn't get a receipt I gotta have an eye to my bank account because they are known to steal money again by charging you after 2 days or so read more

Worst service ever... they don't like black people here and it shows... pretty pretty sad. At least their food is decent

Best place to eat within a 75 mile radius of Elberton. You are always greated by friendly staff and seated within minutes of arrival. Have never been there that we didn't bring enough food home to eat at least one or two more meals. The meals are well prepared from a generous menu. There is a limited but reasonably priced bar selection. We have been there before, and will return several more times to come... read more

Very rude staff who need to speak English clearly and answer customers in a pleasant manner. Tonight I ordered steak fajitas and a number 11. There was approx. 10 percent steak and the remainder onions with a few peppers. My order has been wrong twice lately. Always check your to go order. Poor quality food and poor customer service. I will never go back. My husband ate their for lunch and had small expensive tacos. He said he will never go back either. Stay away from this place. Wish I could give no stars ! read more

My favorite Mexican restaurant anywhere! I never miss an opportunity to eat here, and neither should you.

Still liking this place. Items that we tried this time, the chicken nuggets for kids. It was approved, he cleaned the plate. And the fried ice cream is really yummy, but be sure and share with someone, it's huge. read more

Great mushroom, spinach & steak quesadillas! Very helpful, friendly, clean with great tasting food! Music was a tad loud or else it would've been 4 stars. read more

I ordered ground beef nachos and the ground beef was so raw I could tell through the cheese covering it.

The chili rellano comes minus the chili, just some grnd beef and melted cheese Crappy service. Will not be coming back.

Clean, comfortable, attentive staff. We were camping locally stopped here for a late lunch, basic American Mexican food, but everything was fresh and tasty. read more

I ordered the chorizo-queso dip for an appetizer: the sausage was in huge chunks, I had to cut it with a knife to make it a small enough portion to eat on a chip and very bland. The consistency of the cheese was very thin also. For the entree had the large chicken taco, not bad, but bland also. Did the kitchen run out of spices?? The service was lacking too; the staff was neither professional or polite. You would think a service industry would strive for that. Once the main meal was brought out, I never saw our waiter again. When we were ready to leave I flagged down the bus boy for our ticket because we had been sitting so long and he wandered off and came back in a few minutes with our ticket. Geez. On a positive note the portion sizes are huge and the prices are very reasonable. Buy some spices and teach your staff food service skills and I will be back to give La Fogota another shot. read more
