Clear night, light breeze, people watching on the square. And octopus. Yes, octopus. Fuego has a fantastic octopus toast appetizer that's just savory and scrumptious. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It matched well with a glass of the wine outside on the sidewalk patio, the sun setting and the sounds of the square at night.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] You don't have to have a meal - but if you're hungry you should. If instead you want something light and a glass of wine outside, that happens here too. read more

Updating my review after a few years to say that this is still a really great Sunday brunch experience, and I feel like people are sleeping on it. The price is now $25 per person and half price for kids. The buffet includes so many delicious fresh salads, fruits, plantains, and pastries, and the entrees from the kitchen (you get to order two with an adult brunch and one for kids) are always great -- salmon tacos, chilaquiles, waffles and pancakes with fancy toppings like mocha whipped cream and fresh berries. Reserve your table on Google and they will have it waiting for you with your name on a sign, which is a nice touch. Really great people here! read more

Gastropub it is! Situated on the square in Georgetown, Nice bar and small restaurant serving Latin food. We started off with a Mexican martini whick was slightly spicy due to the serano pepper rings. We ordered the Crispy Cuban sandwhich which is pulled pork, Swiss cheese, smoked ham, creamy mustard sauce, served with plantain chips. I had the the Lamb barbacoa which is Mexican style braised leg of lamb and five tortillas and guacamole. Both lunch entrees were delicious and well presented! The menu includes many great sounding lunch options. Give it a try! read more

Delicious flavorful and well presented Latin dishes. We had the Cheese & Lamb Smoked Gouda fondue and Pipian Duck enchiladas. The fondue was topped with Pickle Jalapeño, Poblano Peppers, and shredded adobo style lamb Barbacoa. This was so rich and flavorful and came with warm tortillas. We also had Pipian Duck Mushroom & Com Enchiladas - filled with braised duck cooked with ancho chiles, sautéed com & mushrooms, coated with pumpkin Hispanic Pipian sauce. The service was warm and friendly. Will be back and will bring our friends and family. read more

We had been wanting to hit this place up for a while, and decided that our last day of work/start of summer vacation would be the perfect time to try it. The ambiance was vibrant but modern, with oversized comfy booths, high tables, and two stories for extra seating. We were so excited to get drinks, since they sounded so delicious. We got a pisco punch, as well as the tropical margarita. Both were well balanced, boozy, and refreshing, which was exactly what we wanted. We also ordered a the ceviche sampler, corn sampler, yuca frita, and duck enchiladas. The ceviches were fresh and tasty, with a great balance of tortilla and plantain chips to accompany them. We also enjoyed the corn cobs, and liked that each one had two pieces for us to each have our own. Our entree came with 4 enchiladas, which was big enough to share. It was a bit spicy and very flavorful. The yuca fries were also so tasty and served with two dipping sauces. The service was good overall. There were a few moments here and there that I was looking for our waitress and she wasn't there, but it was also busy and since we weren't in any hurry, it didn't bother me. Overall, we will definitely be back! read more

Stopped by this restaurant while in Georgetown square. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a small but vibrant spot. There's a bar, plenty of booths and table seating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]They even had a little girl playing the violin out front for the holidays.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We arrived and our orders were promptly taken. I had the tropical margarita. It was strong but tasty. We had the Argentinian beef empanadas as an appetizer. They were savory and the sauces that came with them were delicious. I would've preferred the empanadas without the raisins but they were still good. I had the Jamaican jerk ribs for my main entree. The ribs were very tender. I enjoyed the mango slaw that they came with and the potatoes as well. Our food took a bit long to come out but it seemed like the restaurant was pretty busy so that's understandable. Overall, I had a good experience and I would return. read more

The food was great! The service was great! We were able to call and get a reservation for a party of 5 for 7:30pm on a Friday night easily. The menu is small, but we had 5 different meals and 2 appetizers and safe to say everything was tasty. They serve Coke products here and have plenty of spirits and sweet tea available. The Latin cuisine may be more derived from Cuba, but if you like flavorful food you'll love it here. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The decorations offers a Latin flair and the restaurant is nice and clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] This location is in the Georgetown square and there's plenty of parking all around and you can walk around after. read more

I absolutely love this small town gem. The fusion of Latin American flavors is always on point and the chef-owner and his wife often have dropped by our table to say a quick hello or share information about the food, drink, or restaurant. Located on the square in Georgetown, they are equally great for a fancy schmancy night out or a casual dinner with quite a bit of variety to suit many preferences. Our all time favorite appetizer is the Grilled sautéd Octopus a la Gallega - perfectly prepared every time we've had it. Served like a bruschetta with a ramesco sauce. Most recently, we tried their Cheese and Lamb appetizer- a smoked Gouda fondue with lamb barbacoa and it too was delicious. For a main course, depending on the size of your party, the Argentinian Parrillada is a real treat with a variety of meats to enjoy. Steak, pork, ribs, chorizo... wear your thanksgiving pants. You're welcome. Not in the right mindset for something that robust? No worries because there are plenty of other options. They ALSO have a steady supply of Pisco in their well-stocked bar for those who like to partake. We haven't yet enjoyed the Sunday Brunch but if it's anything like every other meal we've shared, it's definitely going to make an appearance in the very near future. read more

Visited this restaurant for my birthday with my husband and toddler. We had a reservation but were still waiting and the desk for more than 5 mins because everyone was occupied and no one was paying attention to the front desk. After we got our table and menu, it was a long wait before someone came to take our order. Multiple times, my husband went to the servers to request for something. Food was ok, nothing too great. We have the ceviche taster and ribs. The drink that I ordered was a complete waste of money. Not good at all. read more

This place is really amazing and especially for Georgetown. They have some really great craft cocktails and the ceviche sampler is truly amazing, we get it every time we go there! I shared the Argentinian Parillada with a friend and it did not disappoint. The Yuca fries were great! My wife got the beef arepas and they were also really good.

I went to Fuego on a somewhat rainy day in Georgetown - just about a half hour before lunch was ending - and was pleasantly surprised by how tasty everything was. I tried the Cuban sandwich and really enjoyed how crispy and flavorful it was. I also tried yucca, plantain chips, and a couple of desserts, and enjoyed everything. To top it off, the staff was friendly and attentive. I have added it to my Georgetown list and plan to go again. read more

I was stoked to give Fuego a try, I mean Latin inspired restaurant in Georgetown - who would've thunk it. I reserved a table via Yelp and when I arrived my table was ready with a name tag First the menu is definitely a mixture, with items from ribs to ceviche, scallops and pork chops so I was a little overwhelmed by the variety as I was hoping for more of a Latin focus. Service - great waitress was attentive Food - 4 out of 10. We started with the ceviche sampler, I enjoyed 1 of the 3 and my spouse a different of the 3 and the other was a no for either of us. For my meal I went with the waitress fave, the nachos and sadly I couldn't get past the smell. Lucky for me I married a keeper who will take one for the team and swap meals with me the swap was for the jerk ribs and while they were ok, they really were just ok Not my fave spot but I definitely wanted to give it a go. I probably won't be back as there are too many restaurants in the city to visit read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]What a great spot.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The owner great you at the door and she is so nice.

Excellent customer service. Host immediately led us to a booth, waitress promptly took our order and was attentive throughout. We ordered the corn on the cob and all three flavors were great!

Surprised by more positive reviews here. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Georgetown is a very charming area, especially the square where Fuego Latino is located.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]However, the inside of the restaurant, unfortunately, does not match this aesthetic.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The food options are varied, but there doesn't seem to be a cohesive theme in the menu. We split the ceviche sampler, which was by far the best dish on the menu. We also ordered the shrimp fritters as well as the chicken appetizer, which did not quite meet the mark, either due to heavy sauces or lots of breading. Service was kind, but, possibly due to other large parties, not quick. read more

Delicious, I went with my papa, and the food was amazing. I love the mix of Latin styles and recipes. The food struck a good balance. The yuca was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The chicken empanadas has great chicken with the tomato jam and cheese yummy. The tea was great read more

So many wonderful choices to try it is hard to choose. The owners are so very kind. The Mexican martini is probably one of the best I've had. I loved it because it wasn't too sweet and it was more citrusy. My husband ordered the Chili Relleno and I ordered the Beef Arepas. Wow!!!! Bursting with flavor, I very rarely eat my whole dinner but the Beef Arepas we're fantastic. I highly recommend them and stuff the slaw in them. My husband loved the sauce with the Chili Relleno. Cannot wait to go back and try something else!!! read more

I haven't been to Fuego for lunch since they moved to Georgetown. They weren't very busy today, and our service was excellent. I ordered the Fuego House to drink, and it was delicious and refreshing, perfect on yet another 100+ day in Texas. The lamb barbacoa was tender and flavorful. The tostones were firm but soft in the middle, but the combined dish lacked seasoning. I added quite a bit of salt, but it still seemed to be missing something. Lime juice might have helped, but I didn't think to ask for any. The restaurant was dimly lit, which in some way made it feel cooler today, with fresh flowers on every table. read more

A quiet place on the Georgetown Square. We made reservations on YELP so we were able to be sat immediately. I didn't realize it was brunch only menu Sunday mornings but they had enough where even the kids had something. The fruit was all fresh and sweet! I haven't had good pineapple all season and went back for 3rds! Yes, it is unlimited and they are more than happy to fill your plate. You get 2 items off the menu, we got ALL the food! My favorite was the pumpkin waffles, my daughter liked the omelet! They were large portions, in my opinion. The staff was off the chain! We were unsure what to expect and they walked us through the process a number of times. They we friendly, helpful, sweet, and just all around happy to be there!!! We can't wait to come back for the full menu! read more

So first off let me say that the service has been SOOO amazing that I started writing this review while still being served. Came in lunch service to celebrate a friend's wedding and everything has been amazing thus far! Reservations were made prior to arriving and they have been extremely accommodating to the entire party. Decor is very urban industrial with exposed pipes. Looking around, it's much bigger on the inside than what it looks. It's 2 stories and the upstairs is functional. On to the food - so far I've only ordered an appetizer which was the spicy shrimp ceviche tostadaitas and AHMAGAWD they were bomb. They definitely have a kick to them but very flavorful! Chips and salsa are complimentary and also something to remember. A few others in our group said that the yuca fries and plantains were also yummy!! For the entree, we tried out the chipotle brlamb Barbacoa tostones which were extremely yummy! I don't think anyone in the group had a negative thing to say. Thank you guys so much for the service and we can't wait to come back! read more

Great food at this place.....definitely the best empanada I've ever had and the ceviche was incredible. Another one not to miss are the duck enchiladas. The millionaire drink was just the right amount of liquor and tasty. read more

One of my fave restaurants in Georgetown. I have never had a bad dish (or drink) here. Service is consistently warm and attentive. The scallop dish is a wonderful combination of flavors (and you might think at first glance it's a small dish bc of the elegant plating but it definitely fills you up). The arroz con pollo is another reliable favorite (and often I can't finish the entire thing so I have tasty lunch leftovers the next day). Definitely get the yucca fries and or tostones as an appetizer/side. The empanadas are also super flavorful. (If you save room for dessert, solid churros as well). They also have an amazing lunch menu - the cubano and the chicken wrap (which is essentially the arroz con pollo dish wrapped in a tortilla) with your choice of yucca fries or plantains is a steal. Everything is full of a wonderful mix of fresh flavors - you can tell the kitchen takes great care with their menu. I almost hate to review it in case it becomes difficult to get a table in the future - but this family owned business deserves all the love! read more

I must say I was pleasantly happy with my experience here. I didn't make reservations but was seated right away. The server that waited on me was amiable and tentative. The overall ambiance was nice and joyful as well. I love that fresh flowers were on the table, and the place seemed Valentine-ready. As for the food, I was not a big fan of the cheese and lamb, but it could have been me. If I had any complaints, it would be the temperature of the food. I wish the food were much hotter when it came to the table. Everything else was flavorful and very delicious. I plan to return to this establishment in the future. read more

Ate there on a Saturday night. Yes parking wasn't easy but it's Saturday night on the square. The restaurant is casual. We had a reservation so wait was very short. The wait staff were great!! Several different ones checking on our drinks and everything. The waitress was very personable and attentive. Her recommendations were spot on. We started with the Ceviche sampler and the empanadas. The Ceviche sampler was amazing. Flavors were like a party in your mouth! Not too spicy but oh so tasty. Empanadas were so good, too. I ordered the scallops. Delicious! Cooked perfectly. My husband ordered the spare ribs. Very very good with the exception of being a little too fatty. The dulce de Leche filled churros were great, too! Very busy place but the staff and the food more than made up for the noise. We will definitely want to share this experience with friends and family. read more

Came here for lunch hoping to try the empanadas and found out it was Sunday brunch and that wasn't an option. Oh well! Next time! Brunch was great. Served a good variety of something for everyone. Baked goods, salads, eggs, meats/potatoes, and delicious plantains! You could then choose another 2 items from their brunch menu, which they said changes every week. Non-alcoholic drinks were included and the service to refill those was amazing. My coffee was never empty! Sat by the door which was kind of cold, but that's not their fault...it was 12 degrees that day! I would definitely go back and try their regular menu. read more

I think this restaurant was a good addition to the Square and I think it will definitely be added to our dinner rotation! The staff was pretty attentive and our server Mario was great! The cheese and lamb was probably my favorite of all three things we tried! I promise you will not be disappointed! I wasnt a huge fan of the enchiladas but it was was definitely good! Ask for a spicy sauce ( i like a little fire :) ) The beef empanadas are a must have! The sweetness that the raisins add is unbeatable! I cant wait to go back and try more things! Also cannot wait til they bring back their sunday brunch buffet!! read more

I cannot believe I hadn't reviewed this place. I've posted so many pictures and we've eaten at (and curbside) so many times! First, this is a family owned and run business. You'll find the parents and children all proudly working to build their business and ensure it's excellence. I commend them! The people who work there are so nice. My family loves the food here. My husband wants to eat here all the time. We have had everything on the menu. Easy dish, from complex to simple is executed the best way possible. The ribs are tender yet still have a bite, the ceviches are the best we've ever had. Each one of us loves different ones (though we like them all) so it's awesome. They send them with plantain and tortilla chips. All home made. Honestly, you can't have a bad meal here. Support local and have an extraordinary meal that you'll not find elsewhere. read more
