What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
La Fogata offers a delightful experience with incredibly tasty Mexican food, particularly their tacos made with homemade tortillas and delicious meats. Diners love the friendly service and the stunning harbor views, making it a worthwhile stop.

"Amazing taco truck by the farmers market!
The barbacoa and fish tacos are so delicious. However the carnitas is total worth trying as well. This is a separate restaurant from the other la fogata restaurants that are a chain in South Carolina.
Homemade tortillas!
Delicious meats!
Great Aqua of the day!
Eat here!!!!!"

"This place is our favorite along taco truck row here on Maybank! The folks are friendly. The place is CLEAN. Their veggie tacos are so good! So many taco places make you feel weird or unworthy of a good taco if you're not eating meat, but not LaFogata! They actually put love and care into all of it, even the veggies! Thank you!"

"Really good food, good price, really sweet lady taking orders and food is ready quickly. Place to eat is tent with several brand new large picnic tables. Sits back off well traveled road so no cars on top of you while you eat. Will definitely go back again"
