Our Story

Rooted in tradition,
served with soul

At Taqueria el Fogon y mas, every dish tells a story that stretches back through generations of our family. The name itself — el Fogon, the traditional cooking hearth — speaks to the heart of what we do: prepare food over real fire, using techniques handed down from those who came before us.

Located on South Monterrey Street in Hidalgo, we have become a gathering place for neighbors who value food made with care, honesty, and the kind of flavor that cannot be rushed. From our hand-pulled tortillas to our slow-braised meats, nothing here is an accident.
