Worst take out experience ever! From waiting 25 mins for an order of steak nachos to the server passing me a no signature required receipt so i could tip her for a take out order. Got home to find no guac in the nachos how advertised, and the beans were mixed with chorizo. You are in Skokie, where half the population is Kosher or Muslim, which my gf is. I, of course, took it back and was met with defensiveness from who I'm assuming is the owner. He grabbed everything and angrily chucked it at the garbage next to him, and as he walked away said to his server to give me my money back. They shorted me a dollar, which, whatever
it's a dollar, but if a customer is dissatisfied with your food, do your best to remedy the situation. Will not go back, even for my dollar and change.

I literally will not eat the food there. Your better off with bologne sandwiches than thos food. Nothing is as it seems here. Do not go there at all! In my opinion it's dumpster diving food!

What a great experience! We were looking to try a new place for my birthday and came upon El Fuego... and are so happy we did! Yummy food, really attentive service (without being pushy), and a fun vibe. Felt treated like we were family or special guests. We'll be back!

This place needs to close down. This stuff is horrible. Where’s the meat it took 40 minutes for a quesadilla

Ordered on grub hub. Showed up to pick up my order and the restaurant was closed. Like permanently closed. No hours on the door. Looks shut down.

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.

Unique flavors in this traditional Mexican restaurant.Purple cabbage cole slaw give the tacos a special flavor blend.

Amazing food and service. It is worth going out of your way to eat here. Food was fresh and delicious. Drinks were well-balanced and cold. Service was impeccable.

Everything was great, I’m a burrito guy not a taco guy but the tacos were good and the Suezo Burrito was great with the beans and rice. Great people, good atmosphere.

Such amazing staff so nice! Food and margaritas are also 10/10. Love it here.

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 cake. it was fluffy and perfectly milky! I’m excited to return :)
