Yes you guessed it right, it is Mexican Food! The most highlighting feature, Fuego is open 24/7 and serves fresh & good food all throughout the year. I will always choose to go to Fuego late night than going to MacDonalds. Fuego hides behind a row of restaurants on Texas Avenue, very near to the University Dr. intersection.
It is a sit-in local place. The decor is however what you see in chain fast food restaurants like McDonalds or Burger King. You order upfront and take a number. The food is served on your table. On the side is a serving bar with jalapenos, onion-tomatoes, salsa, cilantro, sour cream and drinks, which is all self-serve.
We usually order Pastor & Carnita Tacos on corn tortillas, since they are our favorites. Pastor is pork cooked in ginger, soy, citrus and roasted with pineapple. It is topped with cheese queso and guacamole and served wrapped in either flour /corn tortillas according to your preference. Exclusion of guacamole, enhances the pork flavor for me, rather guacamole masks the lovely original flavor of the tacos. Try ordering it this way. Carnitas is pork slow cooked in citrus, garlic, orange juice with a hint of coco cola. The pulled Rotesserie is not as good as Pork, for me.

The breakfast tacos are worth a try. This is a good break from regular pancake breakfasts. Fuego Deluxe is what I picked and it was a filling sunshine breakfast. Make a note that breakfast tacos are served 24/7, so it doesn’t matter if you have then 8:00 in the morning or 4:00am they are always good and tasty. Do not ever miss Sopa, give a try to a cup of Tortilla soup.
In summary, If I were a first time visitor and that was the only chance I was ever going to visit this place, I would order pastor taco and a cup of tortilla soup for a meal. This should get you full, surely not heavy, and this must tell you a lot about the quality of food. Absolutely Delicioso!
