Taqueria La Fogata

Wow I was very pleasantly surprised. They had a polite young man running the register. It gave off a family business atmosphere. We ate our food there. The food tasted like it was cooked with passion. I had the Carne Asada street tacos and a side of rice and beans and I sampled everything in their salsa bar. While my parents got burritos. The food was delicious, hot, and fresh and the meat was not chewy at all. We enjoyed every bite. The portion sizes were very good and the burritos were gigantic. Most importantly, the beans were not bland and soggy like I've experienced at other Taquerias. I'll definitely be back to frequent this location.

Excellent customer Service, family friendly atmosphere and of course the food is great. Have tried different Dishes every time I visit and no disappointment, highly recommend no regrets.

Still a great place to eat! My sweetheart and I wanted to go somewhere for lunch yesterday, and were going down our choices. We both agreed on Mexican food, and that only means to us...Taqueria La Fogata. It seems that in Folsom, there is a Mexican restaurant on every other corner. We have tried many of them over the years, and this is the only one that we consider spending money at. On the way over we both were thinking about their Chile Rellanos. Yum. They do a good job on them. We walk in the door, and upon being greeted we noticed that Wednesdays, they have a special on-you guessed it-a Chile Rellano plate. It was wonderful. The house-made chips are good, their salsa is good, the tortillas are good, the meal was fantastic. The waitstaff is friendly and very attentive, This is a very good place to eat, in kind of a odd location. Give them a try!

We visited this location this past weekend after hiking around Folsom Lake. Sadly I think their AC was out but it wasn't too uncomfortable. They had plenty of fans running so things were ok and the fans did not disrupt our meal. It was midday and wasn't super busy with a couple folks at their seated counter and a few booths were taken. The 3 of us took a large corner booth - to be honest the seat cushions felt a bit well loved but it did not matter. The service was GREAT and our server was very attentive and friendly. I ordered a carnitas torta and it was good. The bread was grilled just to the right crispiness and the carnitas were nice and crunchy but not dried out. My chiquito ordered his usual tacos with just meat and a side of rice + beans. I judge a lot of Mexican food by rice and beans. Keep in mind everyone's family makes them different. The rice was a bit on the dry side for me. However, I liked the flavor and creaminess of the beans... and then my son swatted my spoon away. He wanted to eat his beans with the complimentary chips. When we left all that remained on his plate was about half of the rice. My torta was HUGE so I took half of it home and it reheated nicely. Note: There was a tv over the seated bar area which was playing the cartoon Puss in Boots - not sure what is usually on the tv but if you have little ones maybe they keep the cartoons or something on there? It was a positive feature for our chiquito.

Slightly upset with ourselves that we've just recently found this spot! we've been searching for a solid Mexican taqueria since we moved to Folsom (2 years ago). We love the simple but robust menu. Everything you'd want from a taqueria is here. We came back twice in 2 weeks! I love that our food comes out piping hot off the grill and fills the belly just right. We'll be regulars for sure.
