What Mory Larson likes about El Fogon:
As good as it gets for Mexican Cuisine. Delicious only begin to describe the menu. Outside seating available in season. Even the drinks are above average. If you like Mexican food, put it on your list! View all feedback. What Yanet Creagh doesn't like about El Fogon:
The food was reheated and overpriced for the quality. Not very kid-friendly. The service was decent and the atmosphere was nice. Plenty of parking available in a free parking lot. Overall, the meal was average. View all feedback.
