| - Second time at Fuegos last night and it blew us away just like the first time! I will echo a few other reviewers and ask why isn't this place totally packed?! We went in at 8 on a Thursday night and there was only one other table. Oh well, more flawless fresh guacamole and in-house made chips for us. ;)
Between my boyfriend and I we've tried multiple apps and entrees here. All have been standout. Beautifully prepared, good portions, and superb flavor profiles. The boyfriend tends towards seafood, which is a clear specialty here; his deconstructed paella our first visit showed just enough innovation alongside its authenticity, and his conchas entree this time around was a complex balance of heat and flavor, richly studded with a generous portion of mussels, clams, shrimp, and prawns. I am a consummate carnivore, and last night's tenderloin was cooked to precision and seasoned with smoky salsa and chimichurri. SO. GOOD.
This is phenomenal food, authentically made with love and served with poise- we loved our server, she was perfectly attentive and gave us good input on my wine selection. Both times we were too full for dessert but excited to try it. Last night the owner came out and chatted with us after we finished. He makes a gracious host. It's clear not only that he cares about the experience there, but the food quality. We will be back, if we have to keep this place in business ourselves it'd probably be worth it!
