Fogón Cocina Mexicana is a Mexican restaurant in Seattle's Capitol Hill neighborhood, in the United States.[1]
Description and history
[edit]The restaurant has a 110-person capacity, The interior features "bamboo tables and benches, and a tortilla-making station that's pretty damn cool".[2] Fogón operated via takeout and delivery during the COVID-19 pandemic.[3]
The Capitol Hill tequila bar La Josie's, established in 2020, has been described as Fogón's "sibling" restaurant.[4][5]
Reception
[edit]The Seattle Post-Intelligencer has called Fogón the neighborhood's most popular Mexican restaurant.[6] Seattle Magazine included Fogón in a 2014 list of the city's best Mexican restaurants and said, "Mexican food lovers who want a little privacy and less of a scene on Capitol Hill will find solace in the unpretentious Fogón, with the bar separated from the restaurant to make drinkers and families equally comfortable."[7]
Seattle Metropolitan's Kathryn Robinson described the food as "not terribly" authentic, "but so cheap and tasty that nobody cares".[8] The magazine's Allecia Vermillion included the restaurant in a 2021 list of "The Best Restaurants on Capitol Hill".[9] Writers for The Infatuation included Fogón in a 2024 overview of the city's "most fun dinner spots".[10]
