I was looking forward to returning to Fuegos after a fun Yelp event that gave me a preview. I came here with coworkers for a Restaurant Week lunch in the later afternoon. As before, I loved the decor. The service was fine, albeit a bit slow, especially for not being crowded at all -- I was glad we were not in a rush. Overall, it was an OK experience, but nothing special.
I ordered the chips and salsa for an appetizer, which ended up being surprisingly good. I was thinking the regular old chips and salsa combo, but the presentation was attractive with a spicy red salsa and a mild creamy green salsa with some tasty guac in the middle, and housemade chips sprinkled with chili pepper.
For my main, I ordered the 3 tacos. For Restaurant Week, you are limited to choosing one kind of taco for all three, so I chose barbacoa and my coworker got al pastor, and we swapped one each. The barbacoa was tender but the beef seemed unseasoned and pretty bland. I was glad the pico de gallo was there to save it a bit. The al pastor tacos' pork was amazingly seasoned and had a super flavorful fruity salsa on top.
Dessert time! Two of us ordered the buñuelos, which were deep fried tortillas topped with cinnamon sugar and ice cream... It was a dream. My other coworker got a little coconut cake that he enjoyed as well.
This experience was a little disappointing. I'd consider returning during a more happening time to experience the ambiance and maybe just order the couple of things that I did really like.
