| - Fuego Bistro is one of my favorite restaurants in Phoenix, if not my #1 favorite. I was asked to attend a surprise anniversary dinner there a couple years ago, and since then I have returned many times for lunch and dinner.
Everyone has mentioned the food and how wonderful it is, and I am in complete agreement. The Chipotle Cheddar Mashed Potatoes and Jalapeo Creamed Corn are amazing; I would go for those sides alone! The appetizers are generous and the drinks are delicious. Great all-around.
I will assume the generous portions have left the other reviewers too full to even consider ordering dessert; that's the only reason I can imagine not mentioning them here. On my first visit, I ordered the Pastel de Tres Leches and fell in love. The huge slice of cake wasn't your run-of-the mill Tres Leches. It had an amazing mango or guava filling between each slice of cake and was pure heaven. Also wonderful is the fried ice cream, banana empanada (I'm not certain that's what it's called), and the key lime pie. So good!
My one and only complaint about this wonderful place is that they will not under any circumstances split the bill. They will allow you to use multiple credit cards and cash, but you have to do the math on your own. This is only tricky when you're with a large group, but even then, it's well worth it when you've enjoyed an amazing meal, tasty drinks, and were given top-notch, friendly service.
