Taqueria La Fogata

I don’t recommend this place when the women are there cooking. She burnt my tacos and they are 3.45 per taco. She said her stove is up high so they’re crispy. I gave her the food back and she returned with another taco. Then the second had some grey hair or plastic in it!!! I’m showing a picture of how it looked. Then she said oh that was the leftover meat from the other tacos.

Order from here TWICE based on reviews. The 1st time was steak tacos... the meat seemed days old, dry and a little crunchy; but recent reviews seem to portray a better experience. Today we ordered the chicken enchiladas and the chicken is diced very tiny, dry and bland. The red sauce was almost pure tomato sauce and salty. The rice has many under cooked grains. . I'm sad to have given them my money twice. Each plate was $15

Carryout order. The steak torta was spot on, and their salsa had great flavor. Will order from them again.

One thing about this place, you’ll always leave full and wanting to come back again for good food and good service. Love the fact that they came through with the heart shape taco tray WITH a heart shaped cheesecake. My wife LOVED it, specially it’s for the duration of February. Definitely coming back for many years to come!

Me and hubby went here and HELLO? this place has AMAZING food here. The service is AMAZING, and everyone here is friendly and sociable. I definitely recommend coming here, especially during the love season 🌹 valentine special with my hubby is the way to go!

absolutely love this place! The Valentines specials are amazing💕 this the food is amazing, and so are the staff!

Delicious, savory, satisfying traditional excellence. Props to this unassuming place for serving some of the best Mexican traditional style food I have had in all of the Chicagoland area. This is as homestyle as it gets, with warm friendly service to boot. Prices are not the same as some old photos posted up from the past- but they make up for it in quantity AND quality!!! There are several tables outside for dining in the sun facing the busy street (Montrose Ave), but you will be enjoying your food so much you won't even care. Steak tacos were perfect as well as the chicken torta. The bread on the torta was perfectly toasted, soft and fresh, and the proportions of everything were more than I expected. The traditional refried beans and rice served on the side were piping hot, tasty, and good proportions as well. My Horchata tasted creamy and sweet, not watered down or overly sugary either. Meat lovers out there, if you are in the mood for an extra big torta, try the signature Fogata Torta -which boasts egg ham AND breaded chicken- dannnng, good luck with that! 😋

If you enjoy a real home cooked meal like you get when you arrive to your home town in Mexico tortillas made from scratch flavors that melt within the first bite and services like family made that meal with love & tenderness this is the place! I went to visit my aunt at the Montrose cemetery not to far from here 1st time coming & I will definitely be back! I had 5 Tacos De Carnitas & my boyfriend the Gorditas De Asada amazing!!! Thank you!
