One of my favorite spots when I'm in the area I've came here a few times, each time is consistent with service and food. I'm also a sucker for a place that has a salsa bar (they also have beans, carrots and etc on the salsa bar) They have up close private parking The inside is very spacious with really big comfortable chairs. You can also see an open kitchen where they are cooking / cutting up the meat Each time I've came here, Lucy has taken care of us. -you walk up to the counter and order -they give you a number -then they call your number and you pick up your food. -Everything is self served. You get your own drink refills (I always get the fountain drink. But they do have other types) -you get your own napkins on the salsa bar -you get your own utensils on the salsa bar -you get your own salsa, beans and etc on the salsa bar -you seat yourself -you clean up after yourself and throw your food away and put your tray away I haven't had anything here that I did not like. I'm not a huge fan of chicken, but the chicken nachos are amazing. The chicken has such a good flavor to it The Birria is not overly salty like at a lot of places Service is friendly Ambiance is nice with really comfortable chairs and a ton of TVs Food portions and quality are great read more

Menudo is WACK, NEVER AGAIN!!! Do not ever in your life think about coming here for some menudo, shit was trash cold tortillas COLD the caldo watered down I'm mad as hell, I should have gone to Tacos Estilo Guadalajara that's real fresh menudo not this BS!!! read more

Living in LA, you're going to eat plenty of tacos and burritos. So when I say these are GOOD, I mean it. Babyyyy, eat these tacos and burritos !!! Their tacos and burritos bring their own flavor, and it really stands out. What makes it even more impressive? They're right across the street from Taco Nazo -- another well-known taco spot. And they still hold their own on that corner. That says everything. If you eat here, you will be pleased. Very tasty, full of flavor, and definitely worth it. read more

Ugh this is one of my family's favorite spots to go to! The tacos are consistently delicious and high quality. We got majority Al pastor tacos, along with quesopastor tacos, and a few lingua tacos as well. Their agua frescas are also so so good. We usually get the watermelon, strawberry, or horchata. I would saw on a hot day the watermelon is perfectly refreshing. They have a lot of seating inside with nice chairs and tables. The cashiers and workers are always very nice too! read more

El Fogón has such a great vibe the second you walk in. The wooden tables, leather chairs, and wide-open seating layout make the place feel both cozy and spacious. I love that every seat has a clear view of a TV - perfect whether you're chatting, watching a game, or just wanting background noise with your meal. The only interaction I had was ordering my food and getting my food One thing I really appreciate is the self-serve sauce bar. If you like customizing your food, this is heaven. You can grab as much salsa as you want without having to ask. (Maybe not ideal if you're a germaphobe -- but for everyone else, it's a huge plus.) The agua fresca de sandía was delicious and tasted super fresh. It actually tasted like real watermelon, not like sugar or syrup. Food-wise, everything was on point. The Fogón Fries with al pastor were a standout: perfectly crispy fries, melty/goopy cheese (the good kind), and guac + sour cream that tied everything together. My boyfriend added grilled onions and played around with the dressings bar sauces, and it made an already great dish even better. I love that this place basically lets you create your own perfect version. The quesa tacos with al pastor were also amazing. The cheese was melted perfectly, and the tortilla had that ideal crispy-but-not-hard texture. And best of all -- the pastor wasn't overly salty in either dish, which is something we run into at a lot of other restaurants. The flavor was balanced and delicious. Overall, the aesthetic, the spacing, the customization options, and the food quality all make El Fogón a must-visit. We'll definitely be back! read more

Just now making a review, I haven't eating physically here but have ordered take out multiple times. I have no issues w the portion, flavor, and prices. I can't really say anything about the service other than how delicious the food is. I've ordered the quesadilla plate; comes with lettuce, sour cream, beans, rice, a good size quesadilla with your choice of meat (I got the chorizo) 10/10. Agua frescas they got are p good to me too (horchata & Jamaica). Chorizo 3 quesa tacos (bomb af comes with Birria sauce) size of the tacos are decent and it's crunchy 10/10. 1 Pastor taco for $3 is a bit pricey but again it was so bomb 10/10. The chocoflan isn't sweet and it was just a slice 6/10 I didn't really like it bc I have a sweet tooth and I wanted it sweeter lol. The asada torta (they have other meat options for their tortas) good size for $14 split for 2 meals 10/10. Their rice (side de aroz) so bomb I be getting an extra on the side too 10/10. I didn't get to take pics it's just too good! read more

Bomb tacos here! I came after a football and wanted to try it! I got tacos of course so two asada and two el pastor tacos and both were delicious. The restaurant is really nice, and they had a live singer friday night. The salsa bar is average. They have free refried beans but didn't have any grilled onions or jalapenos in the pot. The salsa was pretty good on the tacos. Friendly service and smiles. Aqua frescas are on my list next time i come in. I think the pricing is good for what you get and the quality of it. Would i come back, oh yes indeed for those tacos!! Food rating Tacos 8.8/10 very good Flan terrible 4/10 read more

I've only ordered takeout from here because Tacos El Fogón is usually very packed. It's not because it's a small place, but it sure is a popular place! I couldn't decide on one item so I got a few and still wouldn't know which would be a favorite. Each option was so deliciously different that I think they're all worth getting again! Besides the entree options, they have an assortment of meat, aguas frescas, and a good variety of dessert. This is very much a "if you crave it, we probably have it" type of restaurant. The service is quick, even when not mobile ordering. I don't think I'll eat there in person for fear of getting back in line to order another plate! Not pictured bc I was too hungry to take a moment of appreciation for presentation: Buche taco, chicharron taco, tripas taco, and chicken torta read more

I came across Tacos El Fogón when I craving tacos. I ordered a taco plate which comes with 4 tacos, rice and beans. They offer a variety of meats but you can only choose 2 for the plate. I ended up choosing asada and chorizo for my tacos. As somebody who doesn't really like beans, I thought the beans were delicious and flavorful. The rice was dry and is very similar to Northgate's rice. The tortillas were a little cold as well. In terms of seating, there is ample seating. While you're waiting for number to be called out, you can pick out your salsa and various small sides at the salsa bar. My personal favorite was the avocado salsa; it had a small kick to it. The line filled up quick several times but everyone was served quickly. I would come back again for the taco plate. read more

Tacos El Fogón - 4 Tacos Plate with asada and chorizo - Mexican Near Me - Bellflower, California

Tacos El Fogón is the spot! I came in on a Monday night and they have an awesome quesabirria deal for $10 bucks. Gets you 3 tacos and consomé - as well as grilled peppers and pickled onions and a salsa not offered at the salsa bar. They have sodas and great agua frescas that come in a large cup. In addition there's yummy postres like flan and choco flan. Aside from the meal being so good. Service is great, walk up to the counter, order, and wait to receive your order at the counter. As you wait, grab their beans like I did. I'm skeptical of beans, not everyone can make them right but these were so yummy. Salsa, Limes, Onions, Cucumbers with Tajín - these are all available free at their salsa bar. I really liked this and felt everything was fresh and delicious. While I didn't get to try many meats, they offer a lot suadero caught my eye for next time. This spot is calm, parking was simple but small, and everyone was friendly. I think it's a really nice place for families or if you're a young adult like me. This place has something everyone will enjoy. read more

Tacos El Fogón - Birria 3 Quesa Tacos - Mexican Near Me - Bellflower, California

The food and service has always been top notch for us coming here (typically on the weekend and Friday nights since we come from Redondo). We came on a Memorial Day Monday after driving back from vacation. Place was pretty empty. Ambience is always great, but today the vibe was def off. The counter clerk who helped us, mucked the order up, was on the phone for 15 minutes and instead of trying to fix the problem, I was charged additionally, no biggie. Ordered the chile relleno à la carte, came with no sauce....lol! Usually none of this happens when the A team is on deck. Maybe it was all new staff. read more

The food has significantly reduced in quality. Once upon a time it was really good. The flavor is lacking now. The tortillas are incredibly dry. The asada is also very fatty. The lines are incredibly long on weekends so it's a little contradictory. People seem to still like it. I'm sadly disappointed. I don't know that I'd want to come back. So sad. read more

Stopped by last night to grab me some food after feeding all of my dogs first hahaha. Very close to where I live and I've never thought to come here until sometime last month when I surprisingly discovered they have quesatacos on the menu. I've been traveling around LA County for the past several plus months discovering some good birria spots. Both small and big. Popular, unpopular and underrated. So it being "Taco Tuesday", it was only right I pulled up. Located right across from Bellflower high off of Alondra. In between Woodruff Blvd and the 605 Freeway. Big parking lot with additional street parking. I love the design and layout outside especially with the palm trees. Gives it a tropical vibe. I've passed by here many times during different hours of the day. Seems like they're always open and drawing in crowds of people. However, it was a chill last night so not a lot of people during my visit. Still busy though. There were definitely several different parties occupying tables inside the restaurant. Smelling real good as soon as I walked in. The restaurant is very spacious and big inside. Both indoor and outside dining available with plenty of seating. Family friendly fasho . Only service dogs allowed. Clean, neat, organized and well kept. Not loud but it can be. About a handful amount of tvs to watch from. A salsa bar. A beverage fountain. Strictly here for the birria and nothing else lol. Let the cashier know it was my first time visit and he was real cool being patient and understanding as I placed my order. Each quesataco is about $3.89 if I remember seeing it correctly cuz it made more sense to grab the combo which included; 3 quesatacos and a cup of consome. Not bad if you ask me. Took pics while I waited. Wasn't long of a wait. My food came out fresh, hot and most importantly, smelling good lol. Stopped at or the grocery store for some tequila and then the liquor store for some ice. Finding myself bs knob my kitchen soon as I get back at home from these several trips. My food was still hot. Thank God !!! lol. Made me a margarita real quick. Took a sip. Then another. It was Just what I needed. Now I'm ready to eat hahaha. I then grabbed one of them quesatacos out of the box and dipped that thang in that cup of consome and damn near lost my mind. Smh lol. Not only was it delicious but also everything I imagined. Cooked just right. The birria was tender and juicy. Not stingy with the portions. Right amount of beef, onion, cilantro and cheese. Flour shells fried perfectly. And the consome was the icing on the cake. Temperature was hot. The quality was authentic and tasteful. Yump !!! I'm definitely coming back soon lol. read more

I ordered tacos Al pastor and asada. Honestly could not tell which was which. No seasoning or flavor. Meat was dry and hard. 4 hours later and feeling the repercussions. Husband ordered tripa which looked to be days old. Hard and dry . Older lady handing out the food looked bored and unhappy. ZERO customer service skills. $$ would have been better spent across the street at Taco Nazo Definitely will NOT be back to El Fogon read more

Delicious quesa tacos! Came on an afternoon and was only a short line. Ordered a quesa taco and a watermelon aqua fresa which was nice and sweet. They have a decent size menu so there is something for everyone. Plenty of seating inside and outside. Parking is tricky but will definitely be back. read more

We know the price on things are high and we understand but you people take advantage of the situation. How the heck do you charge customers $6/$7 for a cup of agua fresca and still give the customer 80% ice! And still get mad when they ask for no ice claiming you can't do that. The faxxx outta here. read more

This place has had a glow up with a strong Social Media presence , and I am here for it. This place has the best Chile Relleno burrito imo. I ordered mine with Asad and it was delish. Also tried some of their Al Vapor style tacos, cabeza and suadero both were good. Dont skip on their Flavored non-alcoholic drinks Agua-Miches. Sooo good. Service is pretty fast, staff at register have always been welcoming. Place is huge for a taco spot, it gives real mexico Taqueria, with a real salsa bar. I love their Off-Menu items, which they post them around the restaurant or website to know what to order. read more

We were there on 03/25/2026. We were looking for a different Mexican restaurant and passed by this place. The food was very good the girl taking orders a the cash register was helpful. I don't speak much Spanish, luckily she spoke good English. Prices are reasonable and seating was ample. There was a very generous condiment bar. Someone on yelp called it a salad bar. Lol Lots of pickled carrots, radishes, salsa and even backed beans. If I were a proletariat (we all may become one after AI takes our jobs.) I'm sure their jobs are safe for now. I'm sure it is a real treat for the gardeners, roofers and laborers who were there. Lots of protein and calories for them. I'm sure they would give it 5 stars. read more

OMGosh, The food here is super delicious! I'm not much of a beef eater, but the Chile relleno is the chef's kiss here. ....and their rice and bean... complement the dish. Well! My husband and grandsons absolutely love the birria My grandson is there at least twice a week having the birria tacos. The restaurant is clean and the customer service is excellent. read more

I remember when Tacos El Fogon first opened back in 2019. At that time, I didn't think it would last because it was built across the street from the trendy Marisco restaurant called Taco Nazo. It's been nearly four years since I last visited Tacos El Fogon, so I decided to stop by with my wife for a quick bite. We went on a Saturday afternoon, and I was surprised at how busy it was. The private parking lot was full, but we found plenty of street parking. Inside, the ambiance had the typical Mexican restaurant vibe with TVs, and the table and chair style gave me the feeling of being in Ensenada. We ordered two asada vampiros, one vampiro al pastor, and a coke for $21.74, which was a great deal considering the size of the vampiros. This place makes all of its tortillas by hand and has a station. It took about 10 minutes to make, giving us enough time to get some delicious condiments at their bar. I tried my best to capture the size of our vampiros and how much meat they had in my pictures. We also grabbed some salsas and grilled onions, but honestly itnreally didnt need anything else. The vampiro was delicious, and the al pastor was perfectly cooked and had a lot of flavors. The guacamole tasted fresh, and the tortilla was sturdy enough to hold everything together. This place also offers something I have never seen before in any restaurant: free slices of cucumber with lime, salt, and tajin to cleanse your palate. In conclusion, this place is the real deal for vampiros. While their menu has a variety of options to choose from, I highly recommend trying their vampiros. It seems we now have two trendy Mexican spots in this area. I will be coming back. read more

I'm surprised with myself that we returned a lot sooner than I had expected. My wife said she wanted tacos, so I said, "where?", and she said El Fogón. This visit I decided to try the Lengua taco and it did not disappoint. I went with two tripa tacos and as good as it was, there's just something about how they prepare it that just doesn't appeal to me. However, I really like the chicharon the best. We also tried the esquites and I think I prefer it made this way instead of the whole corn on the cob Can't wait to return again. read more

I've noticed when I write a second or third review from a previous one at the same location? yelp for some reason, deletes it?

Everything is fresh and delicious and very unique. Take a look by the photos that I've posted, they don't even give the food justice. You definitely have to come in here and experience this place and enjoy their absolutely amazing food! read more

This place is bomb! I was not expecting to be blown away by the food! You order up at the counter then wait for your number to be called. I got the queso Birria tacos and a side of rice and they are sooo good! I think the pricing is good for what you get and the quality of it. The parking lot is a bit small but there still is street parking. There is plenty of seating too. It's pretty loud and hectic inside though. Overall, 10/10 and I can't wait to be back! read more

Quick service for takeout. Very efficient considering it was a very busy afternoon (Monday but school is out for summer so families and retirees were out for early dinner). Lots of meats to choose from. There is a self serve counter of salsas (green tomatillo, red spicy, green avocado cream style) plus pickled cucumbers spears and the biggest carrots with jalapeno peppers relish; alongside a hot pot of pinto beans. Very old school chunky leather chairs and heavy wooden furniture. You place your order at the counter and everything is served on disposable plates, except the menudo! I laughed at the sign that said please do not discard the bowls. I got a variety to try: chicharron, lengua, pollo, suadero, carnitas, al pastor style carnitas and buche, also carne asada. Everything was delicious, all served with onions and cilantro but you can make it without either. I got a watermelon agua fresca which was so yummy! read more

Food is bomb! The tripa is crispy and just amazing. They got a salsa bar, frijoles, and pepino inside. My favorites are the tripa taco and quesabirria tacos. Their pollo is delicious too! (I guess everything is bomb) but I highly recommend this place. read more

The food is decent. Customer service is very, very poor and bad I bought an agua Fresca de pepino. I want the Peppino, It was so salty. They put so much Chamoy in it. I asked the lady if she could exchange it for another different water she didn't want to very rude and that's that I left $18 tip. I asked to speak to the manager she didn't let me talk to the manager, she was hiding him. It was just an awful experience. I would never go eat there ever again. read more

I ordered macOS Al pastor, tacos de asada, pastor, tripas and birria . Also had a asada burrito . Yes I was with friends l can't eat all that alone. We had an agua de horchata , melon and one tamarindo . All great choices . And of course had the freshest jericalla . The food was all delicious this time around hot and on the spot . Everything was delicious and had some great Mexican food . The salsa bar they had everything we needed and the place was super clean . Great job read more

My go-to for Mexican food. With a big menu this place has a bit of everything. Staff is friendly and helpful. Use to eat the tacos here, meat had a lot of flavor and plenty of toppings. Now I get the vegetarian options, not much has changed. The torta de chile packs with a ton of flavor and cheesy as can be. Aqua Frescas are the move on a hot day. The salsa bar has a variety and the beans are where it is at! Plenty of TVs inside and comfortable chairs for dine in. Outside seating for fresh air.

I can't understand why these are not all five stars. Ordered some tacos for takeout while the kids played soccer. The tortillas alone were amazing. The Carnitas were so juicy that I had to lean over so I didn't get dripped on. Moist and tender! We loved the chicken and Carne Asada tacos as well. Guacamole delicious and chips so good. Just shame I didn't live so close! I'd be here all the time. read more

Really enjoyed the food here! While the tacos were rather average, the queso tacos were fire! Definitely the best buy, especially with consome to dip the rest of our tacos. Delicious and cheesy! The best value for me was the churros. They're only about $7, and you get about 6-7 of hot, thick, sugary treats. They come with caramel syrup and condensed milk for dipping too, but I found it wasn't necessary. They're absolutely amazing, even though they can be a bit doughy. They also don't keep well (when stale, they get as hard as rocks), but then again, they're so good when fresh that I'd imagine that you'd eat them all rather than taking them home anyway. The actual establishment is a bit old, but it's spacious, and there's a condiments bar area for sauces, onions, peppers, and other toppings. Be sure to grab plenty of napkins, as the food can be quite messy! read more
