El Fogon Tapatio — Restaurant in Jefferson Township

We moved back to the area… have been wanting to try diff restaurants in our neighborhood… we finally remembered this place we always pass on the way home! Sooo glad we did!! OMG the food was SOOOO good… from the homemade chips and salsa to the dinners… I ordered the three carne asada tacos dinner… meat was FIRE!!! Tacos tasted just like food vendors in Mexico!! My bf got the torta de milanesa dinner and HOLY MOLY that torta was HUGE.. FILLED AND HEAVY!! We actually took the rest to go… he couldn’t finish the whole torta as he usually would and the tacos were filled sooo good no skimping on the filling they couldn’t close! The chips my son LOVEDDDD he asked for more but he ended up eating some of our plate and said he rated them 39/10! lol and the food was delish! The horchata tooo everything the taste the music the atmosphere reminded me of visiting Mexico… our server was so sweet and soft spoken! She didn’t bother us much and got everything down the correct way! It was very lonely in there… no people sitting to eat just looked like a lot of to go orders:) def rec sitting and eating there!! This is our New Mexican food spot, going to try diff plates next time!! But we will be ordering so often and going to eat they will...

I'm not usually a fan of having soups at restaurants, but this one was packed with flavor and brought back nostalgic memories of the homemade soups I...

The service was friendly and attentive, and they served us a cup of soup for free when we dined in, which was a nice touch. Can't wait to come back to try the chilaquiles and...
