I really enjoyed the space. The decorations were vibrant and colorful, the staff was very helpful and accommodating. I fell in love with the Horchata!! The birria was ok. I Think I should’ve tried different protein so I can give an adequate review. For the most part, I enjoyed my visit.

I highly recommend this spot! The food is delicious — we tried several items and loved everything. The quesabirria was cheesy and full of flavor, and the shakes are a must-try, especially the Cinnamon Toast Crunch. The staff members were respectful and attentive, and they definitely made us feel comfortable. The spot itself is very cute, colorful, and clean, which I noticed right away. I would absolutely recommend this place, and it’s now a must-go for us.

Was very excited to try out the place with my family. First arrived and there wasn’t a line, we placed our order to go and as we were waiting a long line did appear. I thought that we got lucky we ordered our food before a rush. But we ended up as the last people to receive our food after the rush. My partner noticed it was just left on the table while other orders were being ran out to people who got to the restaurant after us.
The restaurant it self was very well decorated, but when we arrived there were dirty tables, the salsa bar was a mess, and the employees were very flustered. We can see employees frantically looking for customers to deliver their food and overhearing them aggressively telling dinning in customers to pay attention to their order number being called, when a table marker system would fix that issues.
After we got home to eat our food, 1) we asked for tomatoes on a taco dinner and the lady said ok, they didn’t add it. 2) asked if mayo came on the elote and the lady said yes, we were sad to see that there wasn’t mayo on the elote. 3) we got 3 taco dinner, the rice on all dinners smelled and tasted off. My partner noticed a bad smell to it so it was most likely old rice. Overall it was just very disappointing experience after hearing good things about the store.
Some pluses though were the taste of the tacos, our family enjoyed the tacos and the horchata was very good as well. But definitely not worth the negative we experienced today

Came across this place on tik tok Food is amazing as it seems fresh hot and Delicious rice and very soft and fresh and full of flavor. Definitely recommend this place. Tables a salsa bar are clean and employees work fast an efficient huge line out the door and orders are going out fast and smooth. I love the salsa bar how organised and neat it is the food is amazing.

HONEST REVIEW
A lot of the reviews here should be taken with a grain of salt since customers are incentivized with 20% off for leaving one, which makes many of them unreliable.
I got the steak burrito. I ate about half and threw the rest away. The steak was overly greasy/salty like it had been sitting in oil/grease all day to stay warm. There was no sear and no tenderness at all. The salsa was also very watered down. They advertise a “self-serve salsa bar,” but it looks neglected throughout the day and was honestly unappetizing.
The rice and beans were cold and bland. No flavor, and it didn’t seem like any butter or seasoning was used. We ordered the horchata and it was very disappointing—extremely watered down and almost artificial tasting. They do a good job with social media and that’s what drove us in but honestly, this place is not good.
The one positive was the lady at the front—she was kind and helpful. That said, she was clearly overwhelmed with orders, so service overall was slow.

i never leave bad reviews, but if i could give this a zero star i would. to start off, walking in the place was dirty stuff all on the floor. second waited for my food over an hour. i said okay maybe the wait means it’ll be good. food was TERRIBLE. such of a disrespect to the mexican culture!!! no flavor, worst birria tacos. I could taste nothing but onions. I also got a bowl. The bowl was terrible. the rice extremely hard dry bad!! the worst $44 spent! overly hyped! also tasted nothing but onions couldn’t even taste the birria meat. The birria meat is very dry. They give you very little. i’m no one to leave bad reviews, but this restaurant is such a disappointment to the Mexican culture! they tell you to leave a 5 star review for 20% off which is one there’s so many five star reviews! i wouldn’t even waste my time ever again! this restaurant needs a LOT OF IMPROVEMENT!

TikTok is lying and this place is not worth the hype or price. Long review short, their online ordering food description are in accurate and your paying for an onion taco.
We placed an online order (from their site directly, not a third party Uber Eats or anything). It started off bad because as we were double checking our order we realized they forgot 6 tacos. Which alone is crazy because it’s wasn’t something small or a side order. Then we saw the shrimp tacos we ordered and were very disappointed. It was 3 small shrimps per taco on a corn tortilla with a mountain of white onion. They had no cabbage or chipotle ranch that was mentioned on THEIR ordering site and the picture on the site look nothing like they did (attaching picture of tacos). We went back in to try to get a refund and the cashier told us if we wanted a refund we would have to wait for the manger to call us back, which is VERY SHADY. We had agreed to just switch them out for asada and wait on our missing tacos. Tell me why we waited a whole hour just to get the same sad and nasty shrimp tacos we had originally with a mountain of cabbage added to the already existing mountain of onion.
Stay away from this place if you actually want good Mexican food.

El Fuego is amazing! The birria tacos are hands down my favorite—so flavorful, tender, and perfectly cooked. You can really taste the love in the food. The horchata was also delicious, creamy, and super refreshing. Great food, great vibes, and definitely a place I’ll keep coming back to. Highly recommend!

I hate doing this but this was utter disappointment. Got 3 tacos, 2 steak and 1 honey chipotle chicken.
The steak is soaked in some kind of marinade and then they add more on the grill, its almost mush by the time you get it. The honey chipotle chicken tastes good but i had more onion than chicken on the taco (pic). The sauces are pretty bland, the hot (rojo) isnt hot at all.
I called after as it was a to go order and the guy on the phone was apologetic about it. The room is nice, the staff is friendly, but Speedy is across the street and its legit.

If you’re looking for authentic Mexican food, this is the place to go. Although the interior aesthetics is clean, it’s super modern and doesn’t give it that authentic Mexican look. But such an amazing place for some clean Mexican food. This restaurant was well needed in the area. It definitely exceeded my expectations. The food was served fresh on a tray. I tried the chicken Tinga plate. And my wife tried the Birria plate. Both were delicious. I wasn’t too impressed with the rice. But I can’t wait to come back to try the rest of the items on the menus. I wish the bathrooms were clean. That’s what made me feel negative. But other than that, Elena was great. And there were plenty of parking spaces available. And it is wheelchair accessible. The prices are exceptionally fair.
