    The food is always good and it is a must when visiting San Antonio. The waiter was however terrible. He never asked if we needed refills or how our food was. When he brought the check I asked for a Togo container and he seemed inconvenienced.

    La Fogata was a wonderful choice for our dinner. Food was delicious, service was spot on (server’s timing was not too frequent and not too slow), and atmosphere was quiet.

    Love the atmosphere here, but the mariachi band was too loud. Food was good, server was very nice too.

    Always enjoy the beautiful margaritas and great tasting food from La Fogata. Service tends to be a bit slow, but always kind and respectful. Would recommend some better signage and accommodations for ADA and wheelchair guests in the future.

    Disappointing. Food quality and presentation was not great. Waiter was distracted, someone else brought our food. Both failed to see we had no silverware. We ordered an appetizer. The waiter failed to advise it was intended as a single person appetizer, and he failed to suggest another appetizer. When he brought the appetizer he should have asked if we wanted small plates to share it. Positive--the waiter brought a tres leches cake with a candle. He should have asked if we wanted other desserts besides that one before he brought the cake.

    The un poquito de todo plate was amazing with flavors for all palletes! And the quesadillas surtidas were more than enough for all of us. The ambiance was electric and the food was perfect!
