the restaurant was very typically Mexican streetside. The pasteur tacos were great. Service was excellent. more

Just got back from Playa, had to go to El Fogon because of the TA reviews of this restaurant. Very authentic and really affordable food, many many choices on the menu. BUT have to say, pretty dirty place to eat. My husband and I were seated upstairs in a corner and I was right next to a disgustingly dirty mop... more

We stayed in an AI in PDC Nov 25-29. After 2 days of the mass-produced hotel food, we were ready for something more authentic. About four blocks west of the touristic district (up Calle 6 or 8), we found it. We ate at El Fogon two nights, and both times the service was friendly and fast. The patrons were mostly... more

I have to tell you that this was one of the best places that we have found in Playa. The food is priced very... more

I don't know what some people expect. If you want taco bell then go to taco bell. This place serves excellent local food at a very reasonable price. The quantity and quality of food is well above the price paid. The service is friendly. The waiter only had one thing to say in english. That was he pointed at a... more

We got to El fogon after a recommendation when we were looking for 'real' mexican food. El fogon is a taco place located on 30th just a bit outside of the centre, walking towards the highway. The food's much cheaper then at other places and its really clean. The waiters didn't speak (much) english but were very service minded and... more
