| - The reviews go to show that trendy new spots get rave reviews no matter how good the food is. I can say that the service was very good. To start the waitress said that Fuego makes the best mojito in town and I was so intrigued because in my mind Havana Cafe makes the best Mojito I have ever had. The mojito at Fuego doesn't stand a chance, all you could taste was the booze, no lime or mint, or sweet, just booze. We ordered the coconut shrimp to start, for -----'s sake I wouldn't be surprised if they went to Trader Joe's frozen section brought them back to the restaurant to deep fry them and there you have it the most over prices effortless appetizer you have ever sunk your teeth into. I ordered the scallops which didn't melt in my mouth, as a matter of fact they were chewy and under cooked, I was pretty disappointed, not only because of the price but because I can do much better at home in my own kitchen. My friends ordered the chicken dish and the pork. The chicken was cooked well I just didn't like the flavor combinations together. The pork was great, it had great flavor and was nice and moist. We ordered dessert and the tres leches cake was very good and the cream cheese flan is really creme brulee so if you are looking for flan drive down the street to Richardson's. Actually it will cost you about the same and the food will be 100% better the only difference would be the wait, at Richarson's on a Saturday night you might wait an hour but at fuego you will sit right down, hum? Need i say more, O 1 last thing, the presentation was sub-par. For the delicacies on the menu I was expecting presentation not piles of food plopped randomly on a plate.
