Great taste, great value. Portions so large, we had to carry home the extra. Fast friendly service. Try the Taco Loco (for meat lovers)

The El Pastor tacos here are some of the best I’ve ever had. So flavourful and fresh. Tried the Papa el Carbon and it was also fantastic. Basically a baked potato, with a bunch of cheese on top that you put onto tortillas. Service is quick, friendly and helpful. Also great bathrooms.

We always loved El Fogon, but I really liked this location! The staff are so friendly and a bit easier to get into. This is top quality food for such a good price. We really like the pastor gringa, papas (baked potatoe) with bistec and queso, and a half order of cebolitas. Pineapple agua is so good as well!

Amazing! The tacos were out of this world. We had the pastor, steak and chorizo. Order the 1/2 order of onions and the beans. Soo good!

There are multiple El Fogon locations and this is my favorite. Everything is just a little bit better. Part of the magic is the traffic. The pastor is constantly moving and being cut into. My standby is the taco loco and the pastor. This is the best tacos al pastor in Playa. Yum!!!! Go early or prepare to queue. And if you do need to wait... it’s worth it. Also note that the del May location is dinner only but the location has lunch too. Check hours.

Legendary food. You must come here. They cook rotisserie on charcoal. You cannot beat it. Prices are good and servings are large. The meat you get is unbeatable. Honestly gotta be a top restaurant for the entire city of PDC. English menus available for you whiteys out there.

It is cheap for sure. Al Pastor is legit, service fast there is tons of locals that come here for the price and the convenience after their days of work. It's a classic for a quick bite!
