    Wicked and Plain Wings with a side of Fried Okra
    Camarra B.

    I usually get a 4 piece tender meal, but today I got a 6 piece Wicked wing, 3 plain and the other 3 with " A Lotta Zing Spice" with Fried Okra. This was so good! It was very crispy and crunchy, and the taste makes you crave more. I'm a big fan of Okra, and I love how they do theirs every time at this location. This is definitely my favorite store location vs the other locations I've had in Waco. It's always a small wait, my food is always fresh, and the customer service is always great. I never have any complaints.

    Runny gravy...
    Ricky A.

    This is the 3rd time since I've eaten here when they opened... and I am afraid not much has changed. I truly wanted this to be a positive turn around post but unfortunately it's not. Chicken still tastes soulless kinda like they hit it with 2 shakes of salt from 20 feet away. Gravy still runny and still clumps of gravy powder. They must have got their ice cream machine from McDonald's cause it was broken. They proudly have wifi displayed on the door with a sticker and yet no WiFi. My order was served to me wrong when I asked for it correct I was given a response of well she did not tell me.. I don't find myself eating here again. One positive is they have good catfish but that still not positive since you are branded as a chicken establishment.

    If you want a nice, juicy, crispy bun burger, go here!!!!! in and out... you cannot beat!!! the…read moreservice is top tier! the atmosphere is so California and fun!!! I love it here!!!

    I was passing through Waco and wanted to pick up some food to-go from here. In N Out usually…read moreconsistently offers good food products, and so I figured I would stop in here. Well, it was super busy when I pulled in, and but I did manage to find a parking spot. I parked and headed inside. There was a line at the counter, so I patiently waited my turn. No big deal. Finally it was my turn to be served. I placed my order, customized it (only modified one thing), and then paid for my order. I did request for it to go. I waited and waited. Other orders got called, and I kept waiting. Felt like I waited forever. Lots of other people got their orders. I was trying to be patient. Eventually I looked back on a counter further behind the front counter. I could see a bag with my order number on it. It had been sitting on that back counter for a few minutes. Employees were passing by it, but not bringing it to the front counter and calling the number out. I was about to just walk over to the register and tell the lady who had taken my order that my order back there was ready. Finally she turned toward my bag of food, looked at the order number, and called it out. I walked up to pick up the food. She acted like it was no big deal, didn't apologize for making me wait longer, and that was that. I took my food and headed back to the car. I had a schedule to keep, so I couldn't spend much time checking out my food. I trusted that it was made to their usual quality. I headed out of town. I got a little further down the road, and then opened the bag to start eating some of my fries. I grabbed an undercooked fry from the bag. I then took the whole fry box out of the bag. I realized that about a quarter of all the fries in the box were undercooked. Yuck. Then there were a few overcooked, brown, over-crispy fries in the box too! I was like wow...but I was too far away from the restaurant to bother to drive back and ask for new fries. Then I set the fries down and took out my cheeseburger to start enjoying that. I pulled the wrapper down and started biting into it. The burger itself was not bad, but the bun was burned. Yuck. Overall, this is not the service or quality of food I had expected from there. I should not have to wait excessively for my food when it's already packed and ready, nor should I have food that is not properly cooked. Next time I am passing through Waco, I won't go here for anything. No thanks.

    Great Service... i am communicating (my problem speech). Management and team are very helpful…read more Food good food...Breakfast All day..variety tacos, bowls, salads, etc

    I have to say, Fuego's food is good. Unfortunately, the customer service at the Waco location seems…read moreto be operating under the assumption that customers are optional. I stood at the counter for about five minutes waiting to place my order while an employee continued making tortillas and completely ignored my existence. Not a "Hi," not an "I'll be right with you," not even eye contact. I genuinely started wondering if I had somehow become invisible. After finally placing my order, I waited another ten minutes for my to-go food. When they eventually handed me an order, it wasn't even mine. The same employee who took my order was the one who gave me the wrong bag, which was honestly impressive in a way I wish it hadn't been. The restaurant only had a couple of customers at the time, so this wasn't a case of being overwhelmed during a lunch rush. There were more employees working than customers ordering, yet somehow my husband and I still felt forgotten. What really sealed the experience was the complete lack of urgency or concern. We were clearly frustrated, and the staff seemed entirely unaware--or entirely unbothered. It's hard to tell which is worse. The food saved this review from being one star because it was actually good. But good tacos can only carry so much weight when the customer service makes you feel like you're interrupting someone's day by ordering food at a restaurant. If the service matched the quality of the food, Fuego would be a five-star experience. Right now, the tortillas are doing all the heavy lifting.
