★★★★★ 5.0 Claude Butnaru · Nov 2024

Very good place. I ordered 2 steak tacos and the Chile Verde platter. Steak was great no chunks of fat or tendons. Nice and tender. The pork in Chile verde was tender. Service was great the waitress was very nice. She brought red and green salsa on the side. The free salsa and chips were great, great salsa. The place is very clean. Excellent, all brand new very clean private bathrooms. And above all the prices were great, at least for today's prices. Give this place a shot, I know I'll be back.

We stopped for lunch while driving across the Indiana Toll Road. We knew nothing about Elkhart and picked El Fogon based on reviews; it did not disappoint. The lunch menu ends at 2:30 pm and is an excellent value. The tacos were exactly what a taco should be (asada, onion, cilantro with a corn tortilla); reminded us of being in Southern California. Even the complimentary chips and salsa were exceptional. You might think twice when you see El Fogon from the street but don’t be fooled by the “midwestern worn out commercial district” vibe; the interior is beautifully decorated, clean, and friendly. We especially loved the murals of famous Mexican actors. Service was excellent and felt genuinely hospitable. They have a surcharge for using credit cards so we (happily) paid cash. We loo

We were glad to try this restaurant while traveling to Indiana for a boxing tournament. The were very accommodating to our very large group. (There was about 20 of us). The waitress was very nice, got every single order correct, was very attentive, food was great, very clean). If ever in Indiana again, will definitely be going back!

Our whole family loves El Fagón! The owners are so kind, the food hot and delicious, wait staff is attentive and makes great suggestions. Its the perfect small town authentic Mexican we dream about.

My husband got the Chili Colorado, I got the Chimichanga Dinner. We both really enjoyed it. Salsa was tasty and Margaritas were not too sweet. The service was excellent and friendly!
