El Fuego Mexican Cuisine Reviews

Scrumptious Mexican food in downtown Skokie. They're open for dinner service only and it wasn't busy at all when we came in on a Friday night. The owner, Tom is really friendly and accommodating. The mahi mahi tacos were so fresh and flavorful and the mango salsa served on top was tangy and sweet. My husband really enjoyed his beef burrito. The ambiance is cool, dimly lit with Mexican music playing but not overwhelmingly loudly. Love this neighborhood spot!

Food is amazingly good. Very different than the typical "mexican" restaurants. The chef is the owner and the quality of food is delicious. They do try to accommodate dietary restrictions which is a plus.

This restaurant is awesome! The chips and salsa were so tasty that i didn’t even have time to take a picture. My friend ordered the salmon meal and I ordered the chicken sopes. Both were delicious and the sauces on the side added some nice spice. I loved the red one. MOST of all though, our server (and i think the owner?) was fantastic. She was attentive, communicative, cheerful and funny. We didn’t wait very long for food but she insisted on treating us to homemade tres leches...read full review
