    Arroz con pollo
    Christine C.

    We highly enjoyed our Mexican dinners! The portions were massive! Service was great, friendly and fun. We had a lot of food come quickly to the table! Chips and salsa were plentiful. Considering we were in Maine on a short trip, we were excited to have found Mexican food. We hadn't had it in so long that this was a sight for sore eyes. It did not dissapoint. It also seemed like many locals came here. Loved it, and we will be back since we are moving to the area! Thanks for the great dinner! The fried ice cream was also huge and we enjoyed sharing it.

    Strangely, we couldn't find it because it is housed in a diner. While not expected, there was plenty of room with an outdoor seating area as well. I love a Mexican restaurant that doesn't skimp on free chips and salsa - and this one did not disappoint. The waiter brought out a huge bowl of tasty salsa and a massive basket of chips. All of the entrées that we got, were really good portion sized, and the prices weren't bad. The food was tasty. I had the combo #3 with a chile rellano, enchilada, and taco. All of the items were stuffed with filling. The ground beef was tasty and not greasy at all. Veggies were fresh. I sampled the steak burrito, and guacamole/ both were very flavorful. We would be back if in the area.

    Can you say holy margaritas and portion size! Was hesitant to try Mexican in Maine but was not disappointed we have been back many times. Frequenting both locations. Service is consistent and quick. Love the dinner vibe at a la Mexican.

    Would highly recommend this location if you have not already been. The food is very good, the service was fast and friendly, and the pricing is very reasonable for what you get. Have been here before and have always had a good experience, will be back again for sure hopefully soon!

    Huevos rancheros! Yum!

    Was craving for huevos rancheros at 7 pm and asked the friendly staff if they could still make it for me. Without hesitation, the order went through and I was happily eating my delicious meal a few minutes later! We'll definitely return whenever we visit ME again!

    Complimentary chips and salsa and the BIG house margarita.

The food is amazing and the prices are fantastic. If you are local and have not made Fuego a regular eatery yet, you are missing out on a quality meal!! They do an excellent and very thorough job with take out as well. Drinks are also quite excellent. Great atmosphere, casual and clean. The ceaser side salad was super fresh and I can't say enough about the roasted veggies. They are almost a meal by themselves. We ordered take out this past Sunday and I ordered the taco salad and a side of the veggies. I added them to the salad and it was spectacular!! They are perfectly cooked and garlicky. They went so good right on my salad...which was huge and packaged in a very nice resealable plastic bowl. Crispy and fresh! The food was packaged very well and it was still hot when we got home 20 min away. There are not very many resteraunts available these days that are like this but still completely affordable for local folks.

My friend chose birria enchiladas which she also raved about. Her daughter enjoyed her quesadillas dish and all agreed that the churros were incredible. Service was awesome. Ambiance could be a bit better but the place is clean. They also have some interesting decor which is a nice touch.

A spot that opened back in May of 2025 in Sanford and honestly I have not been in Sanford all that much. If I were a local this would definitely be my spot to become a regular at! It is that good! The inside is on the smaller side with a bar along with some booths as well as tables for other seating options. Without going over the top they put up just enough decorations including some beautiful artwork to bring that Mexican flare. To start off we got chips and salsa brought to our table. Both salsa and chips were good. Drink wise before showing up I spotted a seasonal cocktail that looked phenomenal called Gimmie S'mores and was my choice. My wife chose to have a Blueberry Margarita. The s'mores drink nailed the flavor and truly delivered the s'mores experience in cocktail form with a perfectly toasted marshmallow on top. The Blueberry Margarita was giant and expertly made! The bartender was our server and was extremely friendly and welcoming. Food wise my wife got their Carnitas Plater while I got the Big Fajita Burrito (w/ Carnitas). Food came out quickly and both dishes were packed with so much flavor. Blew away our expectations and has easily turned into a new favorite Mexican restaurant. They had a lot of typical menu options you'd expect but some unique ones too. Outstanding drinks and food with friendly service and great vibes will bring us back!

The food was spectacular! The guac was flavorful, and a perfect consistency. Not too smooth, yet not too chunky. The queso dip was a bit salty, but it was tasty with their chips. I ordered the fajita quesadilla and it was huge!! I had to take most of it home, since I filled up on chips and dips. The service was above expectations. Our server, Nicole, was so attentive and she was amazing with my ridiculous 5 year old. There was a snafu with his quesadilla order, but everyone was immediately on it and comped the meal for us. Above and beyond, truly. So, when in Sanford... go to Azul Agave!

I had a puffy bistek taco, and it was not as flavorful or tender as I expected, and much smaller than I remember. At $6/taco, I would have expected either a more complex flavor profile, or a larger taco. The vibe is fun and funky, but not for me anymore. The service was good, and I really liked our server. No nonsense and prompt, and when you have a hangry 5 year old, it's greatly appreciated. Especially after changing his drink order 6 times in 30 seconds. He thoroughly enjoyed the verdue puffy taco, so it's a win for us, too! Overall, a great vibe for a younger crowd with young kids. Just not for myself as a go-to.
