La Fogata Taqueria (Tacos,Burritos & More) – Authentic Mexican Flavors in Loomis, CA

This place is the best food place around. I work nearby so I'm constantly trying to find good lunch spots. Not only does this spot provide excellent lunch, they also provide breakfast! The place itself is next to a tire shop but the outdoor dining area is cute, decorated nicely, and welll shaded. The entrance is easy to find and easy to get into. Their service is quick and their food is fast and delicious. Their tacos (not pictured) come in a deep fried shell for that extra crunch. The burritos are packed full of delicious food. Pictured is the breakfast burrito with chorizo and bacon. The ratio of ingredients was well balanced, the bacon was crispy and delicious, and the salsa is super tasty (even on its own.) The prices here are fantastic for the quality! Love this spot.

Absolutely some of the best tacos I’ve ever had. Friendly staff, amazing food, a roadside taco stand vibe. They use incredibly fresh ingredients, and the pollo asado was amazing We will be back!!

What a hidden jam! The Birria here is off the hook! This is my new Mexican hitter! The portions are mega! The flavor is monster! The service is amazing. This is a must eat. Not a maybe. You should go here and eat the entire menu. DEE-licious! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

At La Fogata, flavor reigns, Where smoky meats and spice remain. Each taco bursts with zest and soul, A bite, and boom—you're fully whole. Behold that birria tacos, slow and neat, Topped with onions, sauce, and heat. Next to it, a verde stream— A carnitas lover’s wildest dream. The squeeze of lime, the jalapeño flash, With radish crisp and tortilla mash. Each element just hits the mark— This taco tray? A foodie spark. And oh! That quesadilla pull— Cheese like lava, rich and full. Grilled to golden, beef inside, With creamy dips all side-by-side. Guac and crema, salsa green, This taquería is a dream. Five stars fly like salsa spray— La Fogata made our day!

We tried the quesabirria tacos and the regular tacos on our first visit. As another review said, I think the meat could have benefitted from a little more salt, and the birria consummé was weak, but service was great, food was good. There is a nice shaded patio there with several shades tables to enjoy our lunch. I'll come back and try a burrito next time.

When you mix friendly staff and fantastic roadside food you are encouraged to tell the world! GET YOUR FOOD HERE!...so good, my words won't do it justice! From my wife's choice of a "simple" crunchy taco to my 3 pack Quesabirria....Let's support this local gem!

We ordered the carne asada street tacos and a quesabirria taco. Everything was delicious and I would have to rate these as the best I've had it Placer County. A bit on the expensive side, but very tasty and definitely worth it.

There are two La Fogatas. One is a brick and mortar restaurant and one more is more of a taco truck side of the road kind of deal. Both have great street tacos & homemade Mexican food. The brick and mortar location has molcajete, which my husband and I had for the first time on our honeymoon MANY years ago . If you know you know. We go back here for this yummy dish, the street tacos, the burritos and the Mexican breakfast items anytime we are craving that south of the border flavor profile.
