Just a quick update on something I tried on my most recent visit:
The sauce served with the sweet potato fries is the best s.p.f. sauce I've ever tasted. I'd go back JUST for that side dish, except everything else is good also.

Have to give this place some serious love. Went with my 15-yr-old son and enjoyed the place a lot.

I was really looking forward to giving Fuego Taco a try, so perhaps my expectations were too high, but my experience was lacking somehow.... The Hubs, a friend, and I headed down to the esplanade to give Fuego Taco a whirl - we've been to Fuego Bistro a couple time and love it, so we figured we would also love the Taco version. First off, loved the inside of the restaurant. It's very cosy feeling and almost log cabin like, but not really... just made me feel that way. We sat upstairs, which was a little odd feeling so close to the ceiling, but overall I liked the vibe.
As far as the food goes, it was OK. We liked the chips and salsa. I wasn't a fan of my moscow mule adult beverage, but that could have been bad choosing on my behalf. I had one pork taco and one beef. Both were ok, but didn't WOW me. Overall, I'd say I might go back if I'm in the area, but I won't be craving a return visit.
My wife and I have been waiting to try out Fuego Tacos. We finally did on a Wednesday afternoon, and bonus - Happy Hour was going on when we arrived (starts at 2pm). We were not disappointed and Matt, our bartender, gave excellent service as well as taco recommendations.
We had the Pernil, Carne, Chicken Street, Fish, and Barbacoa (don't judge us, it boasts tacos and we wanted to sample them). My favorite was the Carne Asada. If your a fan of America's Carne, Fuego is giving them a run for the money. The chips and salsa were great, home made chips mind you. The runner up for our favorite taco was the Pernil.
Needless to say, we'll be back. Thank you Matt and thank you Fuego, a gem in the now dismal Esplanade.
P.S. Make sure to validate your parking before leaving Fuego.
I really wanted to love this place. I've heard great things about Fuego Bistro and always wanted to try both restaurants. This was the biggest disappointment I have had at a restaurant in a long time. The service was horrible. The hostess was more interested in chatting with the bartender than seating us. Once the hostess finally acknowledged us and came to seat us she informed us that they were closing in 30 minutes and we needed to order right away. This was at 8:20pm on a Saturday night! She turned away another party later at 8:50pm by saying the kitchen was closed for the evening. As of writing this the website still says they are open til 10pm. If I were the owner or manager I would have fired this hostess/waitress on the spot.
As this was our first time here we wanted to try several different tacos. We ordered short rib, carne asada, and shrimp tacos. The shrimp used were small tasteless. The short rib tacos were awkwardly sweet. I'm not sure they always taste like that or if it was just a bad batch. I would definitely not order them again. The carne asada was good. The rice was obviously the last of the pot. It was dry and crusty like it had been stuck on the bottom of the pot all day. I would have been even more disappointed if I had paid full price. We used a http://restaurant.com certificate. Regardless, it was not worth the visit.
I would have never known this place existed- but I found out about the greatness that is Fuego Tacos through a HomeRun offer. The chips and salsa were stellar, and I tried the pernil taco and the carne asada. I preferred the carne asada. I can't wait to go back and try some of the other tantalizing tacos! I also had a great drink with Jack Daniels! I will definitely be coming back.
NOTE: You must remember to have Fuego validate your parking, or you will be charged.
