    A family favorite! $5 house margaritas (delicious I will say) 3 salsas to enjoy, suitable for all spice levels, unending baskets or chips! They’ve added a few new items 2 of which I tried and will again, the Mixote and a chicken or pork filled tamale plate, both generous enough to share. Shout out to George, our great server!

    The food at La Fogata Alamo Heights is consistently one of the best in the country. Everything on the menu is outstanding. Gina and her team are always amazing. And you can't beat their $5 margaritas. La Fogata definitely deserves a Michellin star!

    We went on a Tuesday early because it was special pricing on an entree and margaritas. The entree was called un poco de todo meaning a little of everything. It was a perfect introduction to the food served in general. The food and margaritas were both delicious and the bill was less than breakfast!!!

    Not impressed. We have been there multiple times and it seems to be getting worse. The bartender spends more time talking with the employees. Can't seem to be able to fix a full drink. Half a glass for 17.00. Food was not that great. Mentioned the half glass to the manager and her excuse was they didn't have the right glass. Others at the bar had the same problem with their Margaritas and they just added more ice. The new server did a good job. They definitely need new management. Will not go back

    Went there because there was no wait. Margaritas are strong, and the salsa is great. I had the carnitas, and they were flavorful.

    Made a reservation for party of 4 for 7 pm. Met our other couple perhaps an hour in advance for pre-dinner drinks in the bar. Other couple arrived first and was told they could not sit at a high top table that appeared to be part of the bar area. Manager was very hostile about this. They explained that we had a reservation and were allowed to be seated. We joined them for the pre-dinner drinks. As 7 pm approached I approached the hostess and said we were ready to be seated for dinner. Was told our reservation was not on the books. Finally found out that because we had been “seated” in the bar area that our reservation was fulfilled. Asked to move to a low top table for dinner. Was denied, and said that could not be done, but would have to eat at the hightop bar table because all tables were taken. Asked to speak with manager, who never came. Throughout our entire meal until our departure, 3-4 low top tables for a party of 4 remained empty and unoccupied. The only thing that saved the evening was the bartender “Lynn”, who ended up doing bar duty and being our waitress. Lynn was very good and cordial, but had to do double duty as bartender and server. Management needs to get their act together and really tone down the hostility, particularly when a customer goes to the trouble of making a reservation in the first place. Not what we expect from La Fogata. Will be a while before we return to this location.

    Our waitress was not friendly nor did she offer menus for drinks, pointed us in the direction of a QR code then when we ordered the drinks she said "those are for the other location, we can't make those here". The food wasn't great, been many times before and food was always good...not Saturday.
