Great food, Great service, Great price. Large, clean bathrooms with all amenities, and a bar with excellent margaritas. You just can't beat it; it's a diamond in the rough!

La Fogata has been our family favorite since we moved into the neighborhood ten years ago. Aside from the delicious and consistent food and drinks, the staff is among the kindest you'll find and the restaurant space is welcoming. We've tried most everything on the menu and it's all terrific - love the fresh salsa so much! We've celebrated a lot of special occasions (and it's a great Friday night after a long week destination), and I know we will for years to come. I love the depth of their menu, and there are many choices for people with a variety of dietary restrictions. Such a gem, it's places like these that really help a neighborhood feel like home (and are delicious too ).

I discovered La Fogata over 20 years ago and it has become my favorite Mexican restaurant in Denver. Service is always excellent (kudos to Hector, Maria, Rene and Danny!) and so many good options to choose from. My favorites are the Carnitas Platter and Chicken Enchiladas... both exceptional! End with the tastiest Flan in the region and you have the makings of a great meal. Highly recommended.

Seated right away and immediately had waters, chips and salsa brought. Food was delicious, and it's great to know they have some breakfast items on the dinner menu! Will definitely return to take tummy advantage of those options. Their sopapillas for dessert were heavenly. I already want more! Attentive service, so we will be returning.

It’s Christmas Eve and our first time at La Fogatas! We couldn’t be happier. I got the chicken fajitas that came out sizzling (my favorite)! The flavors meld together perfectly and it’s not too greasy. Yum! Reasonably priced for a fantastic dish! I have to mention the freshness of everything. We are impressed! My partner was happy with his shredded crispy beef tacos. We will certainly be back soon. Thank you for a perfect Christmas Eve meal, La Fogata family!

Great place that with excellent Mexican food. The wait staff were very friendly, and we got our food piping hot and quickly. It was very easy to park and it was very easy to find this location thanks to their sign that is right out on the street.
