Fantastic, reasonably priced Mexican food & friendly staff. I've been ordering food for pick-up for a while now and it's always consistent and not over salted. La Fogata has a good assortment of dishes and vegetarian options too!

Great experience at this place. The food was delightful and the environment was easy going. I got the mole and I have to admit, reminded me of home. I recommend this place for sure.

La Fogata quickly became my favorite place of all time whenever I'm in the mood for some yummy Mexican food. Whether the shrimp, fish, carnitas, or chicken tacos, or a breakfast dish, you will get your monies worth. It is all delicious! The service is wonderful too - Giovanna, Julian, and pretty much the entire staff are friendly, attentive and kind. The ambiance is nicely decorated in traditional Mexican style, kept clean and very inviting. The outside is cute and also nice to sit at especially if you want to enjoy watching some sports. Overall, if you've not tried them yet - YOU MUST!!

I’ve lived in the valley on Magnolia for 10+ years and we have been going here for the entirety of our time. The restaurant is gas. Red sauce - gas💃🏽 Tacos - gas💃🏽 Churros - gas 💃🏽 Salsa - gas 💃🏽 Refried beans - also gas Toda la comida es GAS! so it’s a 10/10 recommendation for me. **gas= bomb/fire/delicious!

Best crunchy taco in LA. Salsa bar is on point and the service is fast and friendly. Yum!

I had a surprising excellent meal at La Fogata. In the valley overnight again, and I didn’t want a Mexican place “on Ventura”. Sherman Oaks and Van Nuys are not far away so I took a chance. My luck so far has been great. This is old school Mexican with two important features I appreciate. No waiters and fountain drinks. Order any combination you can think of and there’s a number. Real salsa and outside seating. I had the 7 with beef taco Marshall and chicken enchilada. Yummy, especially the beans. Not sure what they did but dare I say “homemade”? Reasonably priced and delish.

8$ MARGARITAS (poured in a big glass that will make your smile last) Great Mexican place in Sherman oaks. Every other Mexican restaurant in Sherman oaks is overpriced and too fancy. I like my Mexican food because it's plentiful and tasty and well priced. Daisy just opened up on Ventura blvd.... Way too expensive when you're trying to enjoy Mexican food and get margaritas. Come to La Fogata THREE MINUTES DOWN THE STREET instead and enjoy your big plate meals without emptying your wallet. Outdoor and indoor seating! YOUR CHOICE. Great service from staff. Food service was fast! Parking is small but you can park across the street at the park super close (unlike like any restaurant on Ventura bld where you struggle to park and people yell at each other. Music isn't too loud. Heat lamps outside for when it's cold. Inside has AC lots of food options and all kinds of salsa and good margarita and beer options

We love La Fogata! Best hard shell chicken taco in California. Listen to that crunch:) We love the salsa bar- mix the mild and hot to your liking. The guacamole is fire. And the tortilla soup is perfect on a cold day- good for vegetarians too!

A fine Mexican restaurant. I ordered the Chile Verde burrito plate and was not disappointed. The restaurant well maintained with an excellent salsa bar and plenty of parking. I would definitely visit again.

Our boss decided to buy lunch today and my coworker and I were trying to figure out where to pick up lunch from and so we found this place. He placed the order an said the lady on the phone was really nice, so we were off to a good start! It was ready in 15 minutes and they checked the order w me and made sure we had everything we needed. The food looked so good and FRESH! Coworker started eating before I got a full pic, but he got a Carne Asada Burrito and I got the Fogata Burrito with the salsas on the outside and each got a jr. plate 1 taco (beef hard shell) with beans and rice. My coworker said " I just keep eating and I'm not even hungry" Lol! His wife and kids came by and saw the food and now is gonna order some!

I got the Supreme Nachos with AL Pastor which was okay. My girlfriend got the Cajun shrimp quesadilla and said it was delicious. I'll have to try that next time. The salsa Verde is mild and the Hot Salsa was medium to me.

Great menu-tons of options, reasonable prices, fantastic tasting. They have Taco Tuesday. Would be a great place for groups. Outside eating area is spacious and comfy. Bathrooms are clean! Recommend the carnitas burrito. Good price, super tasty, nice size. Love that sodas are only $2.50.

Been here a couple of times for years and the food is good , love there hard shell tacos. There Chile verde is yummy also. My mom decided to try the sopes for the first time , while the toppings and meat was delicious the tortilla was not what she expected. From our experience from other places and at home the tortilla are fried which gives it a nice crunch but this one here was just warmed up, so not our favorite style?. We usually go during the day on a weekday, so parking isn't bad, but pretty sure is gets full during the weekend.

I been here twice and the experience wasn’t pleasant the fist time the person at the front was rudeand always think the fist impression matters. I give it a try sor the second time and I found a hair on my meal. I’m not picky but i wouldn’t comeback.

There's good music . The flavor of the rice is good, but it is hard chicken tacos with a side of beans tasty. Service, they should be friendly and they give us actitud when they take your order, and the cooks mess on my order, and I have to wait. I like this place, and this happens every time. It is just feedback .

When we went in person the food was good and the service and atmosphere were also decent but when we ordered online it was a major let down. The breakfast burrito we ordered had avocado in it which wasn't even a listed item in the menu and being that were allergic we couldn't eat the item or get refunded for it. All the food was cold even though it arrived pretty quickly. It was very disappointing and we will not be ordering from here again.

food is decent service is bad. Servers make you wait 5 minutes after making you pay on a pick up order that is already sitting there in sight.
