Fantastic taqueria, super-fresh, great menu and service. And a great value.

We always eat at El Fogon when we visit Playa, and this time was no exception! We visited the location on Constiuyentes (across from Mega) this time and had a great meal! We were a group of four who arrived late evening and barely found a seat because the place was packed! Our server was great, and the food even... More

A place like El Fogon is the reason why people love reading TripAdvisor. A little out of the way, but not that far from 5th Avenue. And it lives up to the hype. A locals restaurant, but still very welcoming to tourists, the tacos el pastor and quesadillas here were amazing. We were a group of 8, ranging from 14... More

We enjoyed our meal and I can still distinctly remember the savory smell of the grill! It was "warm" during the day, definitely a favorite of the locals, and prices were very reasonable.

Had the pleasure of dining at El Fogon - we were staying at an all inclusive resort and I found them on Tripadvisor. So after asking our bartender, he said you must try it! It turns out the staff at our resort and many others in the area frequent this little gem almost every night after their shift! Great food... More

It was so tasty and sooo much better than resort food. AND there was so much of it!

Burrito loco - was the suggestion by my local dive buddy after a two tank dive. It was "loco" :-) a big tortilla with a filling of three different meats and chees. It was amazing. Steamed cactus up front with chips and salsa + Icy cold pacifico - amazing. And the amazingness got even better when the bill came, including... More
