Nice experience with Mexican food. We ate the Taco Loco, the most famous plate. We loved! Best in Playa.
There a good pepper taste in your food, and a real local food.
The chorizo quesadillas are a must try!!! My husband and I loved El Fogon so much that we came back for more. It's clearly a popular place as it was bustling! I highly recommend the chorizo quesadilla and pastor tacos. Sooo good! They come fresh...and super hot.More
We were in Playa del Carmen for a week and hit many places that sold tacos but our group of six decided this was our favorite. We went 3 different times and our favorite was the pastor and flank steak tacos. They were busy but...efficient, very friendly. Go try it for yourself!More
The service was amazing and the waiters were all so friendly.
We ended up going a couple of times while in Playa Del Carmen ... The El Pastor Tacos were unbelievable
This place is the best in Playa del Carmen!! Everything is so good!! tacos, fajitas,the fruit juices made with fresh fruit etc etc.. be ready to wait to get seated everybody knows how good is this place. the service is great very attentive staff!! enjoy!...Provecho!More
My boyfriend and I were determined to find some great local food off the tourist side of 5th Ave especially after being disappointed a couple nights in a row. El Fogon was about a 10 min walk from our BNB. The food was delicious and...sooo cheap. The drinks were great as well. I highly recommend El Fogon if you’re looking for authentic great food with great prices. We enjoyed it so much we went 2 days back to back.More
The best food we had in Playa del Carmen. This is real Mexican food. After this wonderful discovery, we ate there everyday.
For me, the best were fajitas with chicken, all kind of quesedillas and taco loco.
Prices are surprisingly low for such delicious food....The staff is also amazing and very helpfull!More
Heard a lot of great things about this restaurant. No wonder it's packed all the time. Lots of locals and tourists. Can't go wrong with anything you order. Tacos were wonderful. Will go back before we leave home.
Best tacos we had on our trip! Tried a lot of the ‘best tacos’ reviewed on trip advisor and these were our favourites by a long shot. It’s more of a lunch or casual dinner place, super chilled/ laid back. Authentic, super fast, EXCEPTIONAL tacos,...in what feels like a locals hotspot.More
Food is mediocre, cheap. Don’t expect seafood, cause there is none. Beer is warm, the place is not very clean. Nothing special about the service. Bathrooms are disgusting
Great food; reasonable prices. Very clean place. The chicken quesadilla is outstanding. And try the marinated and grilled cebollita small onions! Mostly locals here.
I rate this review with 5/5 because my family liked it a lot!! Love the place and the service from the staff, excellent food for them, for everyone the drinks was on fleck… for me the food has a lot of FAT, OIL, I do...not eat such stuff… but for my family love it, 100 percent recommended!!More
We loved El Fogon so much that we actually ate there three times during the one month that we stayed in Playa del Carmen! It's relatively affordable, insanely delicious and there is so much to choose from! Be sure to order the Taco Loco (you...will not regret it)! The chicken quesadillas and the combos are also brilliant! There's always a queue to get in and it's loved by both locals and tourists.More
We had been looking for a taqueria with tacos Al pastor a this was it. We got the recommendation from the lady who braided my hair.
The tacos were amazing!!! Very flavorful and good servings. Delicious, yummy and all that jazz! If you are in...PDC you should give them a try!More
