| - I was expecting good things from Fuego and was not disappointed. I was lucky to get in at all, since I went on NYE, but my excitement was dampened by waiting at the bar over ten minutes before anyone took a drink order. (Hence the missing star.) When the bartender realized that, though, he promptly apologized and took both drink and food orders ASAP. The prickly pear mojito was amazing, and the bartender was personable and helpful to everyone. The dinner menu was kind of pricy, but the food was very good. I had the tilapia and the chipotle mashed potatoes, and I thought they were both amazing. The portion size was big enough to make for a comfortable dinner and leftover lunch the next day (except the potatoes, which predictably never left the restaurant!). I also had the jalapeno cornbread casserole -- to me, it was okay but less impressive than the mashed potatoes. The wait staff and hostess were all very attentive (other than the minor glitch at the beginning), which made up for sitting right next to the credit card machine. I'll definitely be going back (albeit either for the happy hour menu or a coupon!). Good food, pleasant people and great drinks!
