We are still La Fogata regulars when we are in town. It is usually once per week, because we are going to eat Mexican at least twice and split our dining between here, 3 Tequilas and Los Antojitos. AAdvantage Dining is one of the reasons we continue to patronize La Fogata but we also like the food.I almost always order huevos rancheros. La Fogata makes a very good version and it is an order of three eggs. The huevos rancheros are served with red ranchero sauce, rice, refried beans and tortillas of your choice. I take half the order home. They also have great carnitas and this is one of my guilty pleasure orders. I also like to have an order of chiles torreados with my eggs or carnitas. They have a good, tart spicy salsa verde that tops off the pork well. Ms T will always order ground beef tacos, no matter where we are. That is what she likes and these are just fine. In ranking the three Mexican places we go routinely in the area, I would put Los Antojitos as the most authentic, since they are more of a taqueria with lengua, birria and other meats for their street style tacos. 3 Tequilas is a little more sophisticated and makes the best fish tacos and great black beans. La Fogata is the only place with huevos on their daily menu although the other places will normally make them if you ask. We like all three places and are comfortable with what we order on a regular basis. I will say that La Fogata does not make good enchilada sauce, so I steer clear of that. It looks and tastes like chick broth thickened with cornstarch and enough chile to make it orange. It is essentially flavorless. We are used to a pure red chile sauce so this is not something we could recommend.Regardless, we keep going back. As with many places, you have to find what you loke and fortunately, we are here often enough to experiment. A poorer experience will not keep us away.
