El Fogoncito (AME-T2 - Salidas Internacionales) — Restaurant in Mexico City

Stopped by this small sit-down restaurant at the airport and had a mixed experience. The place seats around 15–20 people, so it’s relatively cozy and not overly crowded.

Service was okay—not terrible, but definitely slow. It took a while for anyone to take our order, and later we had to wait again just to get the bill (and they only allowed one payment for the whole table). English isn’t widely spoken here, so just be ready to gesture or use a translation app if needed.

Food-wise, we were disappointed with the portion sizes. Most of my friends ordered the 3-taco plates, which looked more like a snack than a meal—especially considering they cost around $150 MXN. Everyone was still hungry afterward. I ordered the 5-taco option, which is the chef’s recommendation, and that felt much more worthwhile. The tacos were actually tasty, and the refillable salsas helped boost the flavor.

Overall, the quality of the food is decent, but the value isn’t there—our group of six ended up spending about $100 USD and still left a bit hungry. Probably not a place I’d return to unless I was craving tacos and had no...

Do NOT go to this place!! OVERCHARGING AND A SCAM.

They overcharged and scammed my boyfriend. We stopped by on 01/07/25 to get TWO margaritas. We were charged $295 DOLLARS. The waitress gave us the bill, with the CORRECT charge for the two drinks. My boyfriend proceeded to give her his card to pay for the bill. Trustingly, once she handed back the receipt for him to sign, we didn’t think to double check the charge. She ADDED an extra zero on the charge. We went back the next morning, before our flight to talk to the “manager” who gave us a whole lot of nothing. He said the refund would have to take place IN PERSON and on a weekday??!! We had to come back to the states that Saturday morning, so that was not possible. He said he would stay in contact with us. He has not followed through. And we have yet to receive any updates on whether or not we’re getting our refund. I’m pretty sure we will not be getting refunded. I wish I would’ve read the reviews before coming here. Believe the reviews please. DO NOT COME...

Don’t go! Raw shrimp!

Waaayyyyy overpriced for terrible food. I should have stood up when I saw the prices. Wish I’d checked these reviews first.

My shrimp taco in awful cheese came out RAW. I pointed it out and the waitress was like, “no, it’s okay” - so I cut into one, to show her there was actually blue inside. Of course they’re using frozen shrimp, that makes sense. But when she saw that she took it back and I said please give me some chicken taco instead. Instead, they fried up the shrimp more, they came out looking disgusting. I ate them just because I was in a hurry and didn’t want to try and argue in Spanish. But I should’ve just left. For all this I paid US$20 What a scam don’t go don’t go.

There is a perfectly reasonable Maison Kayser across from this place. Might as...
