What do you get when you cross a Chipotle-style, Mexican Restaurant and great customer service? Fuego, which by way is a Spanish word that translates into passion. That is exactly what they have passion not only for food but for their customers. When you get sincerely asked "How was everything?" and they are hanging on your every word for a response you know you are in the right place.

Originally went to the location in Mt repose and the line was super long and there looked to be only 2 employees working at the time. We waited for about 10 minutes and the line hadn't even moved, so we decided to see if this location was any better.
There was a line, but it went fast. We waited maybe 5 minutes. There were 6 employees that I could see.
I feel sorry for the employees at the other location.
I recommend taco Tuesdays!

My coworker and I are one week 3 of going here for Taco Tuesday - any place that will offer a discount because of a day of the week is my kind of place.
I’ve had both soft and hard shell tacos and I’m working my way through the protein options, but if it’s your first time try the chicken or steak. Then walk the line and dress it with whatever you please. Some things like queso or guacamole are extra, but that’s kinda standard.
Finish off your order with a Mexican Coke or one of their refreshing juices.

I was really excited to try Fuego because who isn't excited about a new Mexican restaurant? I had read that it was similar to a chain restaurant where guac is extra (haha) and I wanted to see if it was a better option.
I was not disappointed!
The menu has a lot of variety when it comes to meats that can be used for your meal, salsas, and other toppings. They also offer classics like elotes, churros, and agua frescas.
I decided to try something similar to what I get at the other place so I could properly compare. I ordered a bol with barbacoa, rice, black beans, corn, green salsa, guac, and cheese. I was more pleased with it than I have been at the chain burrito place. Their barbacoa wasn't super fatty, which I've encountered more than a few times elsewhere, it was nicely seasoned and tender. I loved their guac because there weren't giant chunks of raw onion in it. Some are ok, but too many is kind of a turn off for me! Haha
I overheard someone ordering shrimp for their meal and the server explained that it takes about 5 minutes to prepare the shrimp. I was impressed! Having shrimp prepared fresh for your meal is way better than having it scooped out of a container that's been hanging out. I'm usually not a big seafood person, but I think I'll be trying the shrimp next time because of this!
My mom got the chicken tacos and really enjoyed them!
They offer agua frescas, which I love, but the flavors were melón (cantaloupe) and watermelon. I'm more of a limón girl, so I passed this time. My mom got the watermelon agua fresca and couldn't stop talking about it!
Everything was super fresh and the restaurant was clean.
I'm looking forward to visiting again! I'll definitely be trying the shrimp and maybe even an elote!
My only suggestion would be to offer corn tortillas for the tacos!

Great mom and pop restaurant. Food is fresh and you can beat Taco Tuesday!

Super quick, food is always cooked right, and they even take the time to call if they are out of something on your order, and make suggestions. I found this to be very impressive. Great service great food!

This place is a hidden jewel. We tried this cute little place for the first time on 1/2 price taco Tuesday. At first I was concerned because it was packed. Their crew is VERY efficient and got us through the line very quickly. For a group of young people, I was very impressed with their hustle and they were all so polite and helpful to boot. Aside from the fantastic service, the food is absolutely amazing!! Best tacos I’ve had! I can’t wait to rerun and try out some more of the menu!

This place is beyond is amazing! Fresh and tasty! I’ll never go to chipotle again!!! Everyone needs to go straight out and eat here!! You will not regret it!! Thank you for the amazing service.

I drove over 35 minutes one way, to try 'the place that's beats the others' I was delighted in the size of the burritos, had both a chicken and steak both were filled out nicely. The hottest of the sauces was thick and hot, full of flavor to make your nose water. The queso is tastey as a side with my only complaint being I didn't ask for more sour cream and cheese.
Christina Varnum
Friendly service. We had the 3 tacos and it was great to be able to have them made to order in front of you. There is a really nice selection of toppings. Looking forward to coming back for the Taco Tuesday special.
Johnnie Lindsey
Pass up Chipotle and go to fuego if you're in the area. The staff was helpful and the food is great.
Sean Coyne
Amazing food, forget about the other places. This should be your new go to Mexican restaurant!

Great burritos and tacos, much fresher ingredients then going to a chain. all done by hand.
matt risley
First time visiting, and I went with the build-your-own burrito, and it was mucho delicioso. They have Spanish rice as well as refried beans, which were some of the best I've had. In addition, "Spice it Up" with one of their many salsas, and enjoy the grilled tortilla. All in all, hands down a better burrito than a certain well-known competitor, whose name I'll avoid for fear of immediate bloating. They also have other dishes, which makes this more than a burrito joint. Will be returning many times over.

Refreshing atmosphere. Great flavor, reasonably priced meals.
Alex Rozoff
I used to go to chipotle all the time and checked this place out when it opened to see how it compared. Slowly I found myself craving Chipotle less and less and craving Fuego's instead. More variety and more flavor. Literally probably my favorite place to eat now.
Alex Loki Sweet
Awesome service, very friendly staff members ready to accommodate. The food is spectacular, their chorizo is to die for, and their fresh fruit juice is par none!
Amanda Cole
Incredible food- way better than Chipotle! You can tell everything is made fresh. Staff and owners are incredibly friendly and welcoming; I felt like family from the minute I walked in the door! Try the steak nachos- they're to die for!
Meagan Martin-Ioannou
We LOVE this place! Not only is the food amazing, the staff is so friendly and helpful! SO much better than chipotle!
Nicole Baughman
They have a very friendly staff and the food is excellent! We will definitely be going back!
Alex Cohen
Had a steak fajita bowl for lunch today and was delicious as always. You have to try their Fuego Salsa if you like it spicy.

The first time I went there, I was somewhat skeptical about eating there. When you look at the building, you might not get the impression that the food could be any good. But I soon learned that you can't judge that book by its cover.
I ordered a steak bowl and the first thing I noticed is how nice and friendly the staff was that were preparing it. Then the ingredients. They appeared to be really fresh and after sitting down to eat it, it was confirmed that it was all fresh and very tasty! They are liberal with the ingredients as well so if you want a little more of something, just ask. You can immediately tell that they really care about not only the freshness but also about the flavors. It has a more down to earth home cooked taste. Something you'll likely never get at one of the chain restaurants.
The sauces they have are amazing as well and I've tried most, if not all of them. They will let you sample any of them so that you can find one, or more, that is to your liking. But beware the fuego sauce. As I was told, it is made with ghost chili peppers. It is HOT! hence the name fuego. Some days it's hotter than others but it has great flavor to go along with the heat. I personally love it. But occasionally it doesn't love me back. So again beware. If you like hot then go for it. You won't be disappointed. If not then stick with one of the more mild sauces that are available. They are all good.
I have suggested this place to many of my friends. And most of them have tried it. Not one of them has said anything negative about it. I frequent this restaurant at least once per week. I have to because my body, mind and soul crave it.
So please if you haven't tried it yet, give it a go. You'll be glad that you did!
Please Fuego, keep up the good work and stay with what people love and don't ever forget why your getting such good reviews. It's really refreshing to have a restaurant like this in Milford.
P.S. Chipotle... watch out! You have some real competition! Hot head burrito... You are not even close to being in the same league as Fuego! So just go ahead and close your door now and save yourself the embarrassment.
Jayson Royal Sweeney
Amazing! Way better than chipotle and hot heads. Very fresh and the staff is awesome. Recommend this place all the time. I’ve heard complete strangers talking about chipotle and tell them to go here instead

SO GOOD! Way better food than Chipotle, with great customer service. Plus, they deliver, which is awesome for someone lazy like me!
Becki Stahl Johnson
So many options. Very tasty. Steak was not chewy and grisly( like another Mexican restaurant) but was very good! I will be back.
