Tacos el Fogon

Lively Mexican seafood restaurant at 3387 Middlefield Road with carne asada tacos, mariscos, shrimp in green sauce, ceviche, and a vibrant atmosphere complete with music and late-night hours on weekends.

Tacos el Fogon on Middlefield Road in Menlo Park has a Mexican menu that reaches well beyond its name. Tacos share space with soups, fajitas, molcajetes, and a substantial seafood selection. We like the opportunity to start with a familiar craving and discover a more elaborate meal on the same menu. Tilapia al Fogon, Camarones Milagros, and a cold seafood platter offer several directions for mariscos fans. Aguachiles, tostadas, and oysters broaden that selection, while the molcajete ranchero provides another distinctive centerpiece. The variety works especially well when a group wants different dishes rather than matching taco orders. For a casual Menlo Park lunch or dinner, El Fogon's appeal is the combination of taqueria staples and seafood-focused Mexican cooking.
