La Fogata Mexican Restaurant in Corona Del Mar is one of those neighborhood gems that feels welcoming the second you walk in. The owner, Lida, is genuinely super sweet and makes you feel like a regular even if it’s your first visit.
I ordered the taco plate with carnitas and chicken, and it was seriously delicious. The carnitas were flavorful and satisfying, and the chicken was tender and well-seasoned — simple, classic Mexican comfort food done right. Everything tasted fresh, and the portion was just the right size.
And a fun extra detail: I’ve heard Kobe Bryant used to eat here and that it was a favorite of his — which makes it a favorite of mine too. If you’re in the area and want great tacos with warm hospitality, La Fogata is absolutely worth a stop.

This place is not a authentic Mexican food.But I do admire other cultures.Making mexican cuisine. There’s 2.
Sides of the coin one you could be upset if you’re native to this culture and say how dare they make mexican food and they’re not mexican. Or you could say wow what an honor they love our food so much.Another culture is willing to make dishes that are.Very similar and close to our cuisine. So instead of criticizing
I say I enjoyed a dish..

Local Mexican restaurant located near the beach. Their grilled chicken is pretty good. We ordered the grilled Tiger shrimp, California burrito, shrimp and salmon tacos, grilled chicken salad.
Service is very friendly. Each plate is around $15 pretty affordable.

Are you an LA Laker fan? Well, come check out this cool little place that Kobe Bryant and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar used to frequent.
Located in the city of Newport/Corona Del Mar, in the same parking area as Mother’s and CVS, is this little cozy healthy Mexican Restaurant.
The restaurant is beautifully decorated, and there’s a tribute to Kobe.
Onto the food!
Kobe Bowl – this was a dish that Kobe Bryant worked with the chefs to create. It has their rotisserie Chicken, steak, rice, beans, lettuce, and a little bit of pico. This dish is satisfying, filling, and bursting with flavor. We mixed it up so that it’s easier to get a forkful of everything. Definitely amazing if you’re wanting to sit down and eat or take it to go!
The Mahi Mahi plate was amazing! The fish was seasoned beautifully and was flaky. Got it with Corn tortillas and black beans. It’s definitely a worthwhile dish!
The Chile Relleno with Steak – I’m used to the typical fried versions. This one hits different, but in a good way. Stuffed with vegetables cheese, and steak if you choose. There was some spice that hit so well when I bit into it. Then there was some zucchini and squash and fajita veggies it was seasoned beautifully and went so well. It was amazing!
Rotisserie Chicken – This….this is where the money maker is. Sorry Costco, I love you, but this is now my favorite rotisserie chicken. As soon as that chicken hits your tongue, it’s just a burst of flavor. I almost had a Shokigei no Soma moment (if you know, you know). You may think it’s burnt, but nah, it’s perfectly juicy inside, the flavors of the seasoning/marinade goes all the way down the chicken. I had to buy a whole one to go after devouring the half chicken.
All of the salsas and guac you can tell it was made in house. They’re a perfect complement to any dish here.
So if you’re visiting Newport, please check this place out. If anything at least for the rotisserie chicken!

We had lunch here on Saturday. There is parking available, but it can be packed. The restaurant is clean, bright, and welcoming.
The legendary Kobe Bryant ate here quite often and worked with the chefs to create the Kobe Ball bowl. It is a combination of shredded rotisserie chicken, carne asada, rice, and fresh mixed vegetables. A delicious and healthy must-have item.
We also got the Mahi Mahi fajitas. Grilled to perfection fish with black beans, rice, grilled vegetables, and tortillas. Another great healthy option.
The chili rellano with steak was massive. It was delicious and a little spicy.
Finally, we got half a rotisserie chicken. The most tender and flavorful chicken ever. We each got a whole chicken to take home. An easy must-have item.
Great food, wonderful ambiance and friendly service will make this your go-to Mexican restaurant.

Great food, I highly recommend the California Grande of you’ve never been there because it has both the rotisserie chicken and the steak. It’s higher priced, but very filling so it can make two meals. The restaurant was a little hard to find though because there’s no visible sign from the road or above the front doors, so be aware of that.
