A San Antonio institution since 1978, La Fogata's humble roots as a simple taco stand have grown into a full-service Mexican restaurant known for its authentic dishes, legendary margaritas, fiesta-like atmosphere, and award-winning homemade salsa. Translated from Spanish, La Fogata means "open flame," and that's how they prepare many of their ingredients, like the fresh vegetables used in their dishes and their famous salsa (pick up a bottle or two to enjoy at home). Their menu offers all of the Mexican favorites, including quesadillas, enchiladas, tacos, and ceviche, as well as house specialties like chile relleno, chicken mole, carnitas, and steak ranchero. The bar has plenty of drink options, including domestic and imported beers, but their margaritas aren't to be missed and come in traditional and fruity flavors, and each month highlights a different tequila. A private party space is available to make your next event unforgettable, and large groups can take advantage of La Fogata's complimentary shuttle service so they won't have to worry about designated drivers. Also available for catering, every day is a fiesta at La Fogata, so gather up your group and come join the party.
