This has truly become my favorite Mexican spot and I'm upset at myself for not coming here sooner. Let me just sip my delicious margarita and forget about that. Jennifer the manager/server/bartender is truly amazing and made our dinner even better. She is hardworking, executes her jobs well, super friendly, great vibes, extremely fast and efficient. I will come back just to see her and the owner again. They are both amazing hardworking people busting their hump to survive in the restaurant biz during the scamdemic. The owner works as a roofer during the day and comes to work his restaurant at night. I admire and treasure hardworking, good people. Go support El Fuego as much as possible. I know we are. Margaritas come in a great variety of flavors. My favorite so far has to be the jalapeño passionfruit not listed but created by myself and Jennifer on that wonderful Taco Tuesday. Shrimp Ceviche was one of the best I have ever had. Love their salsas and chips. Can't wait to check out the rest of the menu and the nice patio. Loved the music they played which happened to be mostly Puerto Rican salsa. It was a great vibe. We truly enjoyed ourselves. The restaurant itself is large and spacious with a full bar. Love the huge windows overlooking Lincoln Ave. There is a lot and street parking...all free. They do carryout as well. There are fabulous daily specials during the week but definitely do the regular menu as well. Don't listen to the reviewers with complaints. They're most likely just miserable, impatient or just bad vibe people. You can take my review how you wish but it's honest and I recommend you judge for yourself. Buenos nachos amigos and remember, everyday is cinco de drinko.
I'm visiting Chicago from San Antonio, TX and needed to find some decent Mexican food. I came in without any expectations and an open mind. Boy did they ever show me how it's done in Chicago. Sevice was great and the food did not disappoint. Excellent choice for great food for all your family and friends. ?won't go wrong here.
Fantastic margaritas and the food was amazing !
Good food with great drinks at great prices! Tom was very friendly
Service here is absolutely fantastic, so kind and and very fast! As for the food; it’s FANTASTIC! It’s also very easy to find something for everyone including those with allergies 10/10 all around
Such a great experience! Went in looking to try an new local restaurant and were very impressed by the food and drinks. Lots of fun margaritas to choose from, and great food. Everyone was friendly and there to help make suggestions. Try the jolly rancher tequila shots - so good!
Rich food, really excellent service, very nice atmosphere that's why I give it 5 stars??
One of the worst and uncomfortable experience I have had in this place. The server was extremely rude and was making comments that were very inappropriate and offensive. Tacos were not the best. Nothing tasted fresh. From the tacos, to the beans, and even the rice. They tasted a bit old. Not authentic whatsoever. I advise you to avoid this place and go to other great taco places with great customer service, and food. Never consider this place.
Wonderful service and great food!!!!
Great food..great experience
