    La Fogata remains a great San Antonio treasure. No other Mexican restaurant comes close to their salsa.

    We usually go to this place quite often but last night was very disappointing. Food was made service was not that great and the cost for what we spent for eating dinner last night for three people was expensive. Not sure if I plan to bring the family back to this restaurant.

    Returning to a place we used to frequent 10 years ago and more… did not disappoint. Great margs for a reasonable price, food was excellent. A very nice evening. Service was good; however, our waiter dropped the bill off for signing and took off- a “many thanks, I hope you enjoyed it” would have topped off the evening.

    The service was poor. Our waitress did not check on us not even once. The food was burnt or oil drenched. I will not be returning.

    Service not friendly or responsive. Food was mediocre. Was not impressed. Not a very welcoming place, despite having been recommended to us as a great place.

    The atmosphere, eating outside in the courtyard is great and food was very good, but the server took a long time to come back after bringing the food to check if everything was good. Then, after bringing coffee with the desert, she informed us that there was no creamer, cream, or milk available to go with the coffee. My wife doesn't drink black coffee, so she sent the coffee back. If we had known about the lack of creamer, we might not have ordered desert.
