History

Established in 1978.

We have been fire-roasting our famous salsa and mixing our legendary margaritas for 35 years, serving an average of 450 guests daily--that's right, 6k+ happy diners enjoy the restaurant each week. That's an amazing feat for a San Antonio Mexican restaurant that started as little more than a taco stand in a former neighborhood Dairy Queen. Dwight Lieb and his wife Marilyn have owned La Fogata since 1997. Quick to point out that he's a commercial real estate developer and not a restaurateur, Dwight attributes his success in the restaurant business to hiring the right team and letting them do what they know best. The La Fogata team includes staff members who have been on the serving line since 1978. The same cook has been creating the restaurant's award-winning salsa for 24 yrs. In an industry known for its high turnover, even the wait staff includes long-time La Fogata veterans, so Dwight is surrounded by a dedicated team who knows the business and shares his passion for the restaurant
