La Fogata

I've been here several times, ordered catering from here, and I always enjoy the atmosphere. It's easily the best restaurant in Shelbyville. You may have to poke around on the menu a bit to find your perfect dish, but I'm confident you'll find it.Service is great, too.

To go orders are always ready and warm with friendly service. The restaurant always has a clean and friendly feeling. The food is next level and I have yet to be disappointed. The Birria tacos and consumé are must try. Awesome across the board!

We had the most authentic chicken mole and pozole. The tortillas are hand made and excellent tasting thick tortillas. The carne asada is tasty and the salsa is really good. Great place to eat. Friendly atmosphere and great service!! We are from California and my wife is Mexican and we love this place!

Awesome food and terrific service. I've been several times now and food and service is consistent.

Had a quick lunch here today, ordered the chicken gordita. It was served very hot with two sauces on the side, one spicy chipotle and the other a green chile. It was great and the service was fast and friendly. I enjoyed the Mexican music they were playing. My only complaint is that I ordered some queso dip and it was a bit too thin for my taste, but I'll definitely eat here again next time I'm in town.

When looking for this location just look for the church next to it. The sign doesn't stand out and you might just miss this hot spot. I am a huge fan of my mothers cooking. Growing up I had, Mole, barbacoa and menudo. I've tried them all at so many places, but they just don't seem to get it right. I'm guessing because they make them in a hurry or cut corners abs just all in all don't care. But when I sunk my teeth into the barbacoa tacos I was taken back in time to when my mom would cook them for me when I was a child and what trip it was! It's like I was back home eating freshly made tortillas with barbacoa. It's the kind of feeling that make your whole body do a happy shake. You know the kind. When you have just hit that spot in your belly , mouth and mind. The mole was soo on point that I ate it all! I licked the plate clean. Yes I licked it clean. That's how good it was! If you have never had mole then you are missing out. Then again it is an acquired taste. If you want to make the drive out to this little divine place where the food taste like it was made with a little love, the. This is your place. Now if your wanting to visit on a Sunday be prepared to wait over an hour. It's small little destination restaurant. But it's so well worth the wait. You could always go during the week where it's not so busy and you can be in and out. This place may be small but the taste of the food packs a punch in your mouth so good it will leave you wanting more. I mean I did. I've been back 3 times already and having it for dinner tonight. If your looking for authentic food, then this is your place! If your still not sure based on Thai review then just go and try it out for yourself. Your mouth will thank me! Also take care of the servers as they work so hard to take care of you.

This place is the best Mexican restaurant I've been to. Everything is made in house and tastes delicious.

Delicious! Fresh ingredients, made from scratch tortillas, salsa, and watched them squeeze limes for margaritas! So good. The staff is great. The place is cute and clean. We will definitely be back. Yum!

We live in Arizona and eat Mexican food frequently. While on a trip to KY recently we were surprised by how many Mexican food restaurants there were and decided to give La Fogata a try. WOW! It was delicious! I had the Birra tacos, my husband had (2) Gorditas, my oldest daughter had chicken enchiladas with red sauce and my youngest daughter had a cheese quesadilla. No yellow cheese here and fresh made tortillas. Super good and rated one of our favorites...and like I said: we know and eat authentic Mexican food frequently! Yummy!
