LA FOGATA SHELBYVILLE KENTUCKY — Restaurant in Shelbyville

Enjoyed my first visit: great food with large portions and friendly staff. A large selection of Mexican drinks: Bottled Sodas, Fresh Juices, and Beer. Offering an expansive selection of home cooked dishes. Dozens of authentic Mexican and regional dishes: from mole & menudo, to chimichanga, tacos, and burritos. Something here for everyone to enjoy.

I am a native Kentuckian who has lived for years in Baja Mexico (4), Texas (4), and Southern California (10). I asked the waitress for help with the menu (inquiring rather than searching for favorite dishes) and the owner came to the table and answered my questions and several more for our party. We all left full and happy.

The best people to make it are the ones who were born and raised in their home country. They are hard-working, humble men and women in this restaurant from Guatemala and Mexico. Besides them trying to earn money for their family, they just want to go home. They provide you happiness when they put the plate on your table. Respect them. I’m still praying for a miracle that the Trump administration will provide another path to citizenship because these people do deserve it. We owe...

The five stars are for the quality of the ingredients, the finish and beautiful presentation of menu items. The broad menu didn't hurt either. Although this is an order at the counter and deliver to the table operation, the service and care with selections, and the follow up satisfaction checks at the table easily earn ratings suitable for a full table service restaurant.

These people care deeply about and love what they're doing. They are pleasant and smile with their welcome of both visitors to the area and the regular latinx clientele.

My torta lengua (beef tongue sandwich) was served on a nice fresh sandwich loaf. This place is so clean your mother-in-law would eat here. My wife had possibly the most beautifully prepared street style tacos...
