A very nice restaurant with pleasant atmosphere, the booths have tall backs to them so they feel very private.
My Husband and I came in between the lunch and dinner hours because we prefer a quieter experience. Our server was very attentive, kept our drinks topped up, and asked if we wanted any additional dips for our table chips aside from the complimentary salsa.
We got queso and also kept the salsa, it wasnt too spicy but was very nice with the chips.
Husband got the tilapia which came with shrimp, rice, corn, beans, and I believe a cabbage. I got a burrito platter that had beef and chicken burritos smothered in salsa, lettuce, and sour cream. both super delicious hot and filling. Portions were perfect for the price, we both took home leftovers which reheated beautifully!
Will return for future date nights!

Was staying at the hotel next door and came in for some food to take back. Had birria taco’s which were amazing! Also had some good rice and they throw in chips and salsa. Chips were nice and fresh and that might be one of the better salsa’s I’ve ever had to be honest. Following day came back for a quesadilla and that was really great too.

El Fagon delivers bold flavors, generous portions, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with friendly service and the comforting aroma of authentic Mexican cooking. The menu offers a great variety of classic dishes, from sizzling fajitas to tacos packed with fresh ingredients and perfectly seasoned meats. Everything tastes made to order, and the flavors are rich without being overwhelming.
One of the standout features of El Fagon is the consistency. Whether you’re stopping in for a quick lunch or a relaxed dinner, the food comes out hot, fresh, and beautifully presented. The salsa has just the right kick, and the chips are crisp and addictive. Portions are generous, making it an excellent value for the price

With excellent food and friendly service, this is a good lunch option. Portions are generous and the lunch specials ended up being $10 to $12 per entree. The atmosphere is good as well with music volume low enough for conversation.

Very good! Bright cheery decor, mixture of seating, plenty of parking, accessible, great menu choices without going overboard. Fresh tortillas for sale to go.
I did the California burrito. It was humongous. Truly. Ate about a 1/3 and have a nice lunch and dinner for today.
Chips were warm and fresh. Salsa had a little fire – yay! Not too much, just enough to spice it up.
Server was so nice. Best smile! Made me a pop to go at no extra charge.
Bill was $20. Completely reasonable.

El Fogon has delicious food! We ordered Mole Poblano (a must try), el Molcajete, and the Fajita Nachos. Two of the dishes came with freshly made corn tortillas! The agua de jamaica is so good! They have friendly attentive service and a nice atmosphere! I always enjoy the music. Go try it!

The authentic options are so good especially the delicious enchiladas. This is a place that will keep you coming back because of the reasonable prices, fresh ingredients, creative authentic menu options, friendly atmosphere and the great customer service.

God I love mangonadas, and this one definitely did not disappoint . At first I was a bit hesitant about $15.50 for the drink, but the size made up for the price! We had the tacos tropicales and the carnitas and every single bite was full of fresh produce and inarguably delicious. The service and turnaround time after ordering was incredibly fast; I don’t think that we waited more than six minutes before our food was delivered. Loved the cozy booth we sat in by the bar. Will definitely be returning and trying out the other location!

I was charged for someone else meal and had to wait 20 plus mins for a refund I never received. I don’t have time to deal with it and go back and forth with them. It should had been very simple but it seems like they don’t know what they are doing. I just won’t ever go again. If you do go do not pay with a card.
