El Fogon Restaurant

Great little Mom and Pop restaurant. It is more wallet friendly than the neighboring Merengue (which I love for a sit down meal).
About the restaurant:
If you want a quick fix of Dominican food to eat in or take out, this is the place. I am all for the Arroz con Habichuelas and Red Snapper. My kids love the pastelitos and juices– West Indian cherry, passion fruit, tamarind to name a few.
This is not a place for date night, as there is no ambience. The small seating area is reminiscent of a 80s college cafeteria. With that said, this is not the place to go with 10 of your closest friends unless you’re doing take out. Definitely a great place to grab lunch when you’re on a time constraint.
Parking and Neighborhood:
There is limited parking in front of the restaurant. If you’re parking on the side streets be smart about it, don’t leave valuables in view. Yes, your windows could get busted open for $ 2 in your console or a GPS on the dashboard. There are many in this neighborhood who are seeing hard times; some are clearly visible from the restaurant.
