Nestled between I 10 and 410 on Vance Jackson, La Fogata is one of the premier Mexican Food Restaurants in San Antonio. Upon arrival, you stroll into a bustling courtyard complete with fountains and patio ware not to mention the large warming fire pits and heaters during the winter. Be sure to get there early as there is almost always a long waiting list for a table. Also be sure to grab an award winning margarita at the window bar near the hostess stand, and do not hesitate to upgrade to "Top shelf" status because it is only a dollar more. The atmosphere eats the waiting time as you drink your "Top Shelf" Margaritas with your company. Upon seating, you will soon find a server at your table offering appetizers and taking a drink order. Soon, your chips and salsa will arrive fresh and hot. There are multiple salsas made in house so do not hesitate to ask the server about additional selections. Soon you will be ordering your fresh and traditional mexican meal. Feel free to try the "Um poquito de Todo" for a selection of favorites from the house. Also excellent is the enchilada assortment with which comes rice and beans.

Guayabera-clad waiters, fountains and incredible margaritas make for an authentic south-of-the-border experience.  See the full editorial review.

Insider Tips

What to Drink

The signature frozen margarita, so good it has its own window outside for speedy orders, earned the restaurant the nickname "I Fogata."
