  Maybe the strip mall restaurant just isn't for me. The food was good but not great. The tequila selection is unparalleled the food is good but I wouldn't call it a Mexican or tex-Mex. It is a good place that wants to be exceptional but is falling a bit short

  Fuego is such a great spot in Lakewood Ranch if you love bold flavors and beautifully presented dishes. They bring a fresh, modern take on Latin cuisine that really shows in both the ingredients and the plating. The beef empanadas were a great start, crisp on the outside with a well-seasoned filling and balanced by bright toppings. The octopus was another highlight, tender with a good char, paired with smashed potatoes, peppers, cherry tomatoes, and pepita seeds. And you truly can’t leave without getting the churro board!! The churros are crisp on the outside, soft in the center, and the four dipping sides make it fun to share.

  One of the best restaurants in Lakewood Ranch! This is not your typical Mexican restaurant. It’s an elevated place and they serve fantastic food, like my favorite, the Waygu fajita. It’s a bit on the pricey side but worth it. My other favorite is the Barbacoa taco. And Fuego has probably the best daily happy hour specials in LWR. Tons of $8 bites and nearly half off drinks.

  We had an amazing experience at Fuego tonight! Our waitress, Abby, was absolutely outstanding. Her recommendations were spot-on, and her warm personality and genuine hospitality really made our night. The food was delicious and yummy drinks - Mexican low mein was my favorite! Highly recommend both the restaurant and asking for Abby if you can — she’s fantastic! 🌮🍹✨

  If I could give Fuego 10 stars I would!! We had the pleasure of dining there for the first time last night and we can’t wait to come back!! We were lucky to have Abigail as our server and her knowledge of the menu and recommendations were spot on. We started with the margarita flight- incredible. The flight consisted of Strawberry Fields which is delightfully and whimsically presented, along with Day of the Dead (with Cabernet floater that absolutely MAKES the cocktail, and something like “clear” margarita which is unlike anything I’ve ever had anywhere- a 48 hour clarified margarita. It’s unbelievably smooth and will go down as one of the best cocktails I’ve ever had. Now on to the food! We started with guacamole that is served creatively with plantain chips. Abigail recommended the garlic noodles with Dungeness crab. This dish is beyond words delicious and a very generous portion! Highly recommend this dish- the flavor is incredible! My boyfriend got the Sea Bass entree which was also 10 stars- delicate, tender, and expertly prepared. It’s super rare that a restaurant nails every aspect of a dining experience but this one certainly did. I hope they don’t change a thing because what they have is a superstar!! Lakewood Ranch is so lucky to have a place like this!! I can only hope they come to Nashville next!!
