Now Hiring!! • Estamos Contratando!!

09/02/2020

On March 16, 2020, our world changed. Everyone’s world changed. What now seems like ages ago, the City of Houston made its decision to shut down dining rooms across Harris County due to COVID-19 and its continuing, powerful grasp on our community. Restaurants were only allowed to utilize to-go service and online ordering moving forward. Many stressful decisions had to be forcefully made and their lingering effects are still being felt today. While a difficult blow to adapt to, we, with the tremendous help of our hard-working staff and our incredibly supporting supreme clientele, managed to adapt and put into play a new form of service, which at the time was foreign to all of us.

After almost 6 months later, we are beyond proud to announce that our dining room will finally re-open this upcoming Monday, which happens to be Labor Day, September 7, 2020. That day we will be opening from 11am-3:45pm. We will be closing early to give our staff the opportunity to be with their families in honor and recognition of their hard work and contributions to our restaurant and to this beautiful country. We will be introducing our new forms of protocol and procedures going forward. We are asking for patience and understanding as we attempt to navigate this new “normal” presented in our path. Masks will be required for entry, and must be worn when not seated at the dining tables.

One thing is for sure; our quality and service will be even better than ever before. Being the best means constant improvement in all facets of service. We have reaffirmed with our staff the importance of providing a safe, comfortable, and sanitized environment for our guests and their families.

Bring your appetite. We’ll take care of the rest.

________________

El 16 de Marzo de 2020, nuestro mundo cambió. El mundo de todos cambió. Lo que ahora parece que fue hace mucho tiempo, la ciudad de Houston tomó la decisión de cerrar los comedores en todo el condado de Harris debido al COVID-19 y su poderoso control sobre nuestra comunidad. A los restaurantes solo se les permitió utilizar el servicio para llevar y los pedidos en línea.. Muchas decisiones estresantes se tuvieron que tomar con fuerza y sus efectos persistentes todavía se sienten hoy. Aunque fue un golpe muy difícil de adaptar, nosotros, con la tremenda ayuda de nuestro equipo y nuestra clientela suprema con su apoyo increíble, logramos adaptarnos y poner en juego una nueva forma de servicio, que en ese momento era ajena a todos nosotros.

Después de casi 6 meses, estamos muy orgullosos de anunciar que nuestro comedor finalmente volverá a abrir este próximo lunes, 7 de Septiembre de 2020, también conocido como “Labor Day”. Ese día abriremos de 11 am a 3:45 pm. Vamos a cerrar temprano para darle a nuestro personal la oportunidad de estar con sus familias en honor y reconocimiento por su trabajo y contribuciones a nuestro restaurante y a este hermoso país. En el futuro presentaremos nuestras nuevas formas de protocolo y procedimientos. Estamos pidiendo paciencia y comprensión mientras intentamos navegar por esta nueva "normalidad" presentada en nuestro camino. Si se van a requerir máscaras para ingresar y se deben usar cuando no estén sentados en las mesas del comedor.

Una cosa es segura; nuestra calidad y servicio será incluso mejor que nunca. Ser el mejor significa una mejora constante en todas las facetas del servicio. Hemos reafirmado con nuestro equipo la importancia de brindar un ambiente seguro, cómodo y desinfectado para nuestros clientes y sus familias.

Trae tu apetito. Nosotros nos ocuparemos del resto.

To say that yesterday’s Food Drive was a complete success would be an understatement. We were able to provide roughly 300 grocery packs to OUR community. So many people helped out, with the purpose and intent of only one thing: TO HELP OTHERS.

🇨🇴🇺🇸, a union of Colombian and American restaurants and businesses, started roughly three weeks ago, initiated by our dear friend Christian Cortes of Christian Entertainment. Christian has truly helped lead the charge in helping our community with this endeavor. His team, which included the world famous Toño Munera aka Toño Parilla, were on the front lines, putting the groceries inside the cars along side our team. It was a beautiful sight to behold. The sole purpose was to be able provide groceries and hot, freshly cooked meals for so many families going through tough times during this pandemic.

So many preach positivity, but it’s another thing to actually take action and contribute to it. It’s actually what the world needs more of.

We would like to thank so many people for helping orchestrate this event...

We want to start with Fil Watts, whose contributions, truly elevated this event to the level it reached. He has been our company’s consigiliere and guiding light since this pandemic began.

Secondly, we want to thank our partners, urgencias.abc, Carlos Bernal: Allstate Insurance, Jonny Black Productions. It was an amazing honor to be able to team up with these businesses, spearheaded by true, ALIEF gentlemen: Luis Carmona, Carlos Bernal, and Jonny Black. This is our city and we vowed to help take care of the Alief community in multiple aspects.

A HUGE shout out must go to Aldo Santely,(who almost got ran over about 5-6 times!) Luisa M. Castillo, and Don Luis Eduardo aka Pápá Black! Also, our beloved cousin, David Carmona came through and played a huge roll!

Third, we have to shout out De Mi Fogón, and their proprietors, Dalia Gomez and Nini Diana Gutierrez Gomez. They’re an amazing company, that’s beginning to leave their mark on the Houston food scene, and we personally feel they will be around for a looooooonnnnggg time. They’re just getting started. If you haven’t checked out their products, you are missing out! They make GREAT arepas of all kinds!

A BIG thank you to CORDIALSA USA also for donating 100 goodie bags of Colombian products that we put inside our grocery packs.

Also, to all the Colombian businesses that helped promote this event, as well as the Colombian Consulate of Houston. Never before has this been seen where restaurants promote other restaurants on their social media page. For those that did, we appreciate the gesture, BIG TIME. Teamwork does in fact make the dream work.

And last, we have our La Fogata team: one of our owners, Doña Carolina Carmona, our kitchen manager Sara Rosales, Conchy Salinas, Diego Cardona, Gabby Moreno, Luisa Camargo, Selidey Zeledon aka Chelita, our young’n Anthony Molina, and of course our future Boss, Andrea Filomena Carmona, who at 6 years old, helped packed the hand sanitizer, apples, and bananas into all the grocery packs. Also, our ENTIRE staff for making sure our business was running while we coordinated this event! Without you, none of this is possible. This was done in memory of our beloved , , and .

We are truly a family owned and operated small business. Only one location. No investors or corporate backing of any kind. To be able to help out in this manner is truly a testament to our supreme clientele. It’s BECAUSE of YOU, this was possible. The support you have given us every day since this pandemic began has honestly elevated us to a whole other level. We appreciate the amount of love you have shown, not only having patience with our new “curbside pick up” system we have assembled on the fly, but showing so much love across our Facebook and Instagram pages.

We have been working on multiple projects that we are anxiously awaiting to unveil for you all once this passes. Currently in development we have a YouTube cooking series channel, where we will team up with various chefs and small business owners across Houston and the world for some fun recipes and times, a food Podcast, where we will tell our story from the beginning and also interview a variety of guests on topics related to, of course, food and Colombian culture. And finally, we are working hard on developing our new breakfast menu, our bar menu, our catering menu, and have begun scouting for our new location.

A thousand Thank You’s! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

- Andres Carmona, GM & Co-Owner

Decir que nuestra entrega de mercados de Mayo 2 fue un éxito total seria una atenuación. Pudimos proporcionar aproximadamente 300 paquetes de mercados a NUESTRA comunidad. Muchas personas ayudaron, con el propósito y la intención de una sola cosa: AYUDAR A OTROS.

🇨🇴🇺🇸, una unión de restaurantes y negocios Colombianos y Americanos, comenzó hace tres semanas, iniciada por nuestro querido amigo Christian Cortes de Christian Entertainment. Christian realmente ha ayudado a liderar la tarea de darle vida a nuestra comunidad. Su equipo, que incluía al mundialmente famoso Toño Parilla, estaban en la primera línea, colocando los mercados dentro de los autos junto a nuestro equipo. Era un espectáculo hermoso para la vista. El único propósito era proporcionar alimentos y comidas calientes recién preparadas para tantas familias que están pasando tiempos difíciles durante esta pandemia.

Mucha gente predica positividad, pero otra cosa es tomar medidas y realmente contribuir ala causa. En realidad, es lo que el mundo necesita más.

Nos gustaría agradecer a tanta gente por ayudarnos a organizar este evento ...

Queremos comenzar con Fil Watts, que sus contribuciones realmente elevaron este evento al nivel que alcanzó. Ha sido el consigiliere y la guía de nuestra compañía desde que comenzó esta pandemia.

En segundo lugar, queremos agradecer a nuestros socios, urgencias.abc, Carlos Bernal: Allstate Insurance, Jonny Black Productions. Fue un gran honor poder asociarnos con estos negocios, encabezados por verdaderos caballeros de ALIEF: Luis, Carlos y Jonny. Esta es nuestra ciudad y prometimos ayudar a cuidar a la comunidad de Alief en varios aspectos.

Un GRAN grito debe ser para Aldo Santely(quien casi fue atropellado unas 5-6 veces!), Luisa M. Castillo y Don Luis Eduardo, también conocido como Pápá Black! También a nuestro querido primo David Carmona.

Tercero, tenemos que agradecer ala compañía De Mi Fogón y a sus propietarios, Dalia Gómez y Nini Diana Gutiérrez Gómez. Una compañía increíble, que está comenzando a dejar su huella en la escena gastronómica de Houston, y personalmente sentimos que estarán en acción por muuuuuuuuuchos años... apenas están comenzando. Si no ha revisado sus productos, se está perdiendo una delicia! Hacen arepas increibles de todas clases.

Muchas gracias a Cordialsa USA, que donó 100 paquetes de productos Colombianos!

Además, a todas las empresas Colombianas y también al Consulado Colombiano de Houston que ayudaron a promover este evento. Nunca antes se a visto una situación en la que los restaurantes promocionan otros restaurantes en sus redes sociales. Para los q publicaron nuestro evento, sinceramente apreciamos el gesto, GRANDEMENTE. El trabajo en equipo hace que el sueño funcione.

Y por último, tenemos nuestra gran familia de La Fogata: una de nuestras gran propietarias, Doña Carolina Carmona, nuestra gerente de cocina Sara Rosales, Conchy Salinas, Diego Cardona, Gabby Moreno, Luisa Camargo, Selidey Zeledon aka Chelita, Anthony Molina y, por supuesto, nuestra futura jefa, Andrea Filomena Carmona, que con solo 6 años, ayudó a empacar el desinfectante de manos, manzanas y bananos en todos los paquetes de mercados. Además, todo nuestro personal que se aseguró de que nuestro negocio funcionara mientras coordinamos este evento! Sin ti, nada de esto es posible. Esto se hizo en memoria de nuestra amada , y .

Somos verdaderamente una pequeña empresa familiar. Solo un local. Sin inversionistas, ni respaldo corporativo de ningún tipo. Llevamos sirviendo la comunidad por 34 años con un gran amor. Poder ayudar de esta manera es realmente un testimonio de nuestra clientela suprema. Es POR USTEDES, que esto fue posible. El apoyo que nos ha brindado todos los días desde que comenzó esta pandemia nos ha elevado honestamente a otro nivel. Apreciamos la cantidad de amor que han demostrado, de no solo tener paciencia con nuestro nuevo sistema de "curbside pick up" que hemos formado, sino también mostrar tanto amor en nuestras redes sociales de Facebook y Instagram.

Hemos estado trabajando en múltiples proyectos que esperamos ansiosamente presentarles a todos una vez que esto pase. Actualmente en desarrollo tenemos un canal de una serie de cocina de YouTube, donde nos uniremos con varios chefs y propietarios de pequeñas empresas en todo Houston y el mundo para obtener algunas recetas y momentos divertidos. También estamos trabajando en un Podcast de comida, donde contaremos nuestra historia desde el principio y también entrevistar a una variedad de invitados sobre temas relacionados, por supuesto, de la comida y la cultura Colombiana y Americana. Y finalmente, estamos trabajando intensamente para desarrollar nuestro nuevo menú de desayuno, menú de bar, menú de opciones de catering y hemos comenzado a iniciar la idea de nuestra nueva ubicación.

Muchísimas Gracias! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
