| - I was in town visiting my sister and she gave me free reigns to decide on dinner and, after browsing Yelp for some good eats, I chose Fuegos. I was very intrigued by their vegan menu and the thought of Mexican food sound good. I was able to book a reservation through Yelp (though didn't really need to as it wasn't that busy).
I like the set up at Fuegos. Their dining area is open with some seating near the window or large and nice booth options. I didn't check out the bar but apparently they had happy hour specials going on that are only available at the bar. Luckily, they were offering a BOGO 1/2 price tapas specials for dinner. We certainly wanted to take them up on that offer!
Between my sister, her boyfriend and I we all ordered six different tapas plates and one main entree. We started with their guacamole and salsa with chips and their queso dip. The queso dip is unique as it is actually baked goat cheese with a chile sauce on top served with toasted baguette slices. Although it isn't the typical queso dip you'd think of at a Mexican restaurant, it was pretty good! I really liked the flavor of the goat cheese with the chile sauce. The guacamole and salsa with chips were pretty standard. Next, we ordered the crab cake and fried plantains dish. I didn't try the crab cake but was told it was good. I'm not usually a fan of fried plantains but they were delicious at Fuegos! The sauce paired well with it and they were nicely cooked. Next, I ordered off the vegan menu to try something new. I ordered the vegan empanadas and the potato salad on romaine "spoons" dish (Cucharas). I wasn't a huge fan of the empanadas because they were really dry. The cucharas dish was delicious! It was an interested concept to have a potato salad with quinoa on romaine lettuce but I actually really enjoyed it. I would have liked it to have fresh jalapeños for a kick but adding some hot sauce also did the trick. My sister also ordered the La Borracha, which she really loved.
Overall, the food was great! Fuegos definitely has enough of a variety to please everyone--even vegans! I wish the customer service was a bit better though. Unfortunately, when we asked our server about things she couldn't answer or explain things so it turned into her having to check in with her manager several times. At one point he had to come out to our table to further explain something. I'm chalking it up to her being new, but I appreciated that she always had a smile on her face and readily tried to meet our needs when she did come by our table. Maybe they still have some growing pains? I'm not sure, but this place is definitely a must try if you're in the area and wanting to try something different!
