El Fogón is a fictional character. Our family created Colombian food to demonstrate our gastronomy in Saint Louis. We were compelled to create a basic but delicious cuisine that would appeal to a wide…
The Pabellon criollo was delicious, like everything I've ever ordered from this restaurant. The portions were generous enough that I could have saved some for lunch tomorrow, but the beef was so tender and flavorful, the beans so saucy and the rice cooked to perfection that I had to finish it in one sitting. The sweet plantains were the perfect accent to the savory rice, beans and shredded beef.

it's so difficult to find good Latin food in STL, and this is some of the best authentic Colombian food I've had anywhere. the beef Beef Empanada was so good that I finished it before I could take my order photo. I also ordered the Grilled beef arepa - Carne asada , Coconut Lemonade , 8 Oz rice soup with shredded chicken and Yuca, each absolutely perfect.

The food wasnt hot and it was tasteless today. Cilantro wasnt in my soup. And thats one thing that gives it flavor and helps when im not feeling well. There was a small piece of beef short rib in the soup. Not worth the $20. Normally it's free hot and worth it. Not happy at all and I ordered my food when they first opened up.

I wont get empanadas anywhere else, anymore. This place is too good.
The Caldo de costilla - beef ribs broth soup is phenomenal when you're ill, and my personal favorite is the Berraca empanada.
Also, the juices? Fire.
