Was next door having 4 margaritas, and 2 food items for $64 and decided to stop by to see how good the margaritas were with my dad. I was surprised that the bill cost $39 for two margaritas. But the part that made it so we don’t return was all the TV’s were on some reality TV show full blast, even with dodger fans who came in to watch the game. Our waitress told us this is “the final season of Love Island” so for whatever reason they had the TV’s blasting throughout the entire establishment on a Friday night at 8pm. We won’t be returning to this place. It was a very uncomfortable environment from the Mexican restaurant we just came from next door.

Really liked this place. Whoever is in charge of the food cares and takes it seriously.
Everything was really fresh. Tortilla chips for the nachos were fried to order so they were hot and crispy. Pico de Gallo was not sitting in a container all day, it was fresh and crunchy. French fries were made from fresh potatoes. Similar to In N Out, but better.
They have $9 happy hour food, reduced portions vs the regular menu but a fantastic deal. Macho Nachos are $18 on the regular menu, +$5 to add streak. Happy hour menu is $9, +$1 to add streak. So $10 at happy hour vs $23 regular menu. 2 of us shared 3 apps and left stuffed.
Or server was great. Super friendly and attentive, took good care of us. Busser was all over it and also really friendly.
We were there watching game 6 of the NBA finals, plenty of TVs. Dodgers were on as well.
There we families there with kids, office party after work, good bar scene, couples.
We'll be back.

This Saturday turned into a very interesting experience. I have been to Fuego bar and grill many times brought my friends and family and have always had a positive experience. I show up and enter to a completely empty restaurant which doesn’t bother me because I know that iv always had a good experience here. I wanted to watch the boxing match and the UFC match. The ufc match was already playing and they said they were not playing the boxing match which is PPV which is 100% ok. The Manager/Owner(im assuming) is kind enough to put the fight on right in front of where I sat down. Carla comes up and is very nice and takes my order which was a Diet Coke that ended up being very watered down so I swapped it for a beer and some nachos. While I’m waiting for my food I ask is it possible to turn the audio from the UFC fights through the speakers because very loud music was playing at the time and I was the only person there. Carla hunts down the Manager/Owner and the answer is they only put the fight audio on during PPvs I said ok no problem. Carla brings me my food and I ask if it’s possible to turn the music down a bit because it’s very loud and again I’m the only one there. She said let me go find out. This is where the trouble starts. The Manager/owner comes up to me and says “you are making to many requests” but I will turn down the music a bit . Which was shocking response in my opinion. First of all my first request wasn’t accommodated and that’s ok and if he just came back and said to me sorry we can’t turn down the music would have also been find. I can’t illustrate past words the energy and confrontational attitude displayed but the least I can is it was borderline rude and not accommodating and confrontational. I made two requests and one was denied while the other might have been accommodated but not before I received a scolding. I told the owner/manager this is not good customer service and this is not how you talk to customers.he defended himself saying that he put the fights on for me which were already on and all he did was put it in front of me. How is this a valid point when this is somewhat of a sports bar what favor was I done by putting on the fights for me. I repeat the restaurant was empty and I wouldn’t have even asked for the music to be turned down a bit if there was another soul in this place. The correct and simple answer is no sorry we can’t turn down the music which would have been no issue for me. I received a scolding and when I voiced my displeasure and told him that he’s being borderline confrontational and rude and all he did was laugh in my face. It is hard to put in words the energy around the interaction he said close your bill and I’m refusing you service. I refused to close my bill as I had taken one small bit of a nacho and drank no beer he said that’s fine and I left. I have been here a dozen times and brought just as many people. I am sad that this is the treatment I received and don’t see myself returning and I will suggest for anyone I know not to return.
This establishment and staff needs to remember they are doing absolutely zero favors to customers who are showing up to spend their hard earned money on and in their business. They should be gracious and happy that they can accommodate because that is what customer service is all about.
I’m not sure if the owner/manager was having a bad day which is understandable we are all human but I am at least due an apology for the terrible customer service experience I received.

Came across this restaurant when seaching "places to eat near me". We are not familiar with the area. Came down for a football game. The waitress was pleasant. TV's are all around playing games or MMA. Although music was playing, it was still quiet. Burger was huge, I needed a knife to cut in half. Their guacamole is the best I've had without onions. The Chic-carones (Chicken) were good. Nice place. No issue with parking when we went.

Great customer service, drinks are good, and the food is amazing.
I've been here a few times. The tacos are great but the nachos are overpriced. It looks huge but it's mostly chips. They were pretty cheap on the toppings. I added steak to mine and I barely found a few pieces.
Stick to happy hour and tacos.

They have the best KJ in town!
Watched the opening Eurocup match with my friend. Bartender was awesome, beer was cold and street tacos for $2.50 were perfect!
