Excellent food as always. Terrific service as well. If you have not been to Fuego yet, make it a point to go. I did have the up in smoke cocktail, which was absolutely epic

Fuego Comida & Tequila Lounge is a great little spot if you’re looking for bold flavor without the fuss.
It’s small and intimate, with sidewalk seating that gives it a relaxed, modern vibe. Don’t let the size fool you—the food brings serious flavor. The menu is tight but well thought out, and everything feels intentional rather than overdone. You can tell they care about quality and execution.
The drinks are a standout. Well-crafted cocktails, especially if you like tequila, and everything comes out balanced and fresh—not sugary or rushed. It’s an easy place to linger, talk, and enjoy the atmosphere without feeling crowded.
Overall, it’s a solid choice for a casual night out, date night, or meeting friends for drinks and good food. Unique, flavorful, and laid-back—Fuego punches above its weight.

This is the place if
a) you want to brag about pricey tequilas or want to hear the bartender brag about those.
b) you want a draft beer for a price that makes you feel you are at an airport. (Charged $9+ for a modelo draft!!!)
Service also seem to depend on what you drink ;)
Did not try any food, so can't comment on that.

We love this place! Great, modern vibe. The menu is a modern take on Mexican food which we love. There are so many interesting dishes.
We've had the al pastor sea bass tacos, mushroom and soyrizo taco, the steak sandwich, barbacoa torta, fuego rice bowl, and carne asada tacos.
All of the tacos are amazing and come on homemade blue corn tortillas.
The steak sandwich is phenomenal. Very tender meat and a delicious sauce.
The torta was good but not as good as the rest of the dishes we've had. It was a little less dynamic flavor-wise than their other stuff. I tasted the meat (which was very good) but not much of else.
They also have fantastic cocktails. I love the smoked bourbon old fashioned which gets smoked table-side. My wife loves The End is Clear cocktail. It's a very subtle flavor but it's phenomenal.

Went for my Dads birthday. I’m a restaurant and hospitality consultant. It’s a Nice addition to the area, decor is inviting, the drinks were amazing, get a Mexican candy shot! So good $5 for hh too! Yum! My Mom said The garlic noodles were fantastic! Try with the crab. homemade blue corn tortillas were legit!. Gluten free options as well! Innovative concept. Crab cakes were different and fun!
Also ask for Abigail, she’s a true pro at what she does. Courteous, very friendly, organized, transparent and attentive. We’ll be back! 🌮 thank you Fuego!
