La Fogata Restaurant - Evans

The place is fine the food is fine but the margaritas were horrible. And we made the mistake of going right in for an entire pitcher. All we got was the regular standard margarita flavor which is what I usually do. I like to get a good baseline and like regular margs without all the frills. This was by far the absolute SWEETEST least booze flavored margarita I've had anywhere. It was like watered down sugar water. Priced heavily as what a boozy house lime marg pitcher would be.It's hard to go back just because of how bad the margaritas were. Again food was fine. Big space. Remove the sugar, add some tequila is my advice to this restaurant. It's highway robbery the marg pitchers they're currently selling. I tasted like sweet juice. I couldn't even drink anymore.

Still my favorite Mexican restaurant!! We come every time we're in town visiting family. I tried the Pacifico beer tonight, delicious! I had my favorite bean tostada without cheese. My husband had one bean and one guacamole tostada. Both my kids got the tacos and my daughter also got a margarita. Service was amazing as always!! Such a fun place. Pretty sure we've eaten here practically every time we've visited Denver for the past 19 years!!

Very nice and spacious space to enjoy their specialties. I really like the smothered burrito with beef and bean. Great service from the staff.

We're from Texas so VERY skeptical on the Mexican did here in Colorado and I have to say that this place was indeed enjoyable. Though they aren't busy, It did take some time to get our food but you can tell they make everything from scratch. Their margaritas are not weak lolFair prices for the portion sizes. We will definitely be backCheck out my before and after plate lol

I really enjoyed this place! We ordered house margarita pitchers and they were delicious! A little light on the tequila, but they were still good! Because it was cinco de Mayo, we also received two rounds of free tequila! Chips and salsa are always a hit! The salsa had the right amount of spice. I ordered the flauta plate with chicken flautas. I enjoyed them, but I anticipated them being a little more crunchy which is what I typically think of when I think flautas, but they were still good! Our server was so fun, joking around with us all night making it an enjoyable experience! The prices were very fair! Seemed cheap compared to other Mexican restaurants but the food was just as good if not better!

I'm lucky to have my northeast DTC house sandwiched between the two locations of La Fogata (I can walk to the DTC location if I try; it's a bit too far to walk to the Evans location but it only takes about 10 minutes to drive there.) The reason for the Evans location was because I had $20 eGift car to this specific location, so I decided to use it today for my late lunch/early dinner meal. I've been to the Evans location but that was years ago (10+ to be frank.) I remember it being decent, but it wasn't super impressive was the impression/image I had towards it back then. It sure was nice to revisit this place after so many years. And I fortunately have only good things to say about today's to-go experience. Inside the restaurant: Very clean and fairly modern interior. They must have renovated at some point while I had not been dining there. To the right is a spacious/clean bar with some tables and to the left is (again) spacious/clean main dining area with ample number of tables to serve people even during the peak lunch or dinner time. I enjoyed the wall art decors that match the cuisine they serve. Service: This young man in his early 20's was so kind/courteous/easygoing towards me. Upon telling him I wanted to use the eGift card, he asked me my name and told me he was able to look it up, so he needn't see the actual eCard. He then patiently wanted until I told him what I wanted. Once I had set my eyes on the Carne Asada ($21), he immediately placed my order and told me it'd be at least 10 minutes. Oh, by the way, since he asked me how the meat should be cooked, I said medium rare. While I was waiting, I walked around the restaurant to take some great looking photos. Once again, all I saw was a very clean restaurant throughout. I saw no dirtiness. And they still have some amount of COVID protocol which is a good indication that they care about the customers' health. When the young man handed me my food, it was definitely less than 10 minutes. "Wow, that was quick!" is what I had to say to him. He smiled and thanked me again for my business in a very polite way. Food: My Carne Asada was really good. I mean it. The meat was exactly "medium rare"; I call this a perfection. Overall: I have to give this place 5-star review based on today's experience as I absolutely have nothing bad or negative to say about it. We tend to forget about businesses that are located in our direct neighborhood (don't we all have "I can go there anytime as it's close" mentality towards them?) I need to pay more attention to this neighborhood Mexican restaurant going forward.

-first i started with margarita from a mix. I mean i think of 711 served margaritas this is what you would getThen we have some stale chips, with decent salsaMy soup and fish and shrimp fish .... was inedible. shrimp and fish with really over cooked bland shrimp that just didn't taste right. Like one step from bad.They tried to accuse me of not liking it to to Spice ( I've had spicier drinks and cocktails)Just mediocre and bland food overallDefinitely on my avoid list - and should be on yours

The server was so rude. We had just finished a 6 hour hike and during our meal I put my head on my hand while my bf was eating. He came up to me and started quizzing me if I was sick even though it's none of his business!!! I felt like the service was poor and the staff was just super rude. I will never go back there again. no I'm not sick jerk just tired from a hike. Maybe do your job instead of butting into other peoples lives

Good place. We've been to both locations and find it a pleasant atmosphere with tasty food.

They charge $18 for the pozole which is honestly perfectly fine but it barely had any hominy at all :/ literally nothing. Sadly that's my favorite part of the soup and I was disappointed. They also charged me $2 for the cabbage and onions which I thought would come with it. Broth and meat were good overall but I won't be coming back for $18 soup with no hominy.
