Food: Interesting flavors at a cost
The Quesabirria Tacos, Birria Ramen, and Fish Tacos are a testament to Fuego's ability to serve creative, diverse, and taste-tempting plates. However, the delight these dishes trigger may be bogged down by their lackluster value. The 'flavorful' broth in the Birria Ramen and 'crunchy' quesabirria can't hide the disheartening holy grail of 'expensive' and 'disappointing'.
Okay Taste
Some dishes well-received, while others noted as lacking in flavor and quality.
Bad Value
Tasty but expensive for what's provided, diminishing perceived value.

Surf and Turf Burrito
Generous amount of shrimp and steak, flavors on point.
Vibe: Invasive ambiance disturbs
Fuego's atmosphere seems to be at war with itself, ostensibly trying to create a relaxing or engaging environment, but being overpowered by loud music and visually intrusive flat screens. It's akin to eating flavorful birria ramen while a mariachi band plays at decibel levels made for a stadium. It, unfortunately, obscures the overall vibe.
Bad Ambiance
Loud music and flat screen disrupts dining ambiance.
Perks: Service shines amidst chaos
Fuego offers a well-rounded service experience coupled with an outdoor dining option that proves to be both convenient and versatile, suitable for quarantine and non-quarantine times. But, with only nine tables, it's unlikely to accommodate groups, and parents, be warned - it's not fond of vulgar words or noisy kids, unless it's coming from their flat screens.
Great Service
Exceptional service; staff are friendly, attentive, and provide quick service.
Okay Outdoor
Outdoor dining exists, with both covered and uncovered seating options.
Bad For Kids
High-end area not welcoming to vulgar language or loud kids.
