Thought we'd give it a try seeing as it was 10 minutes off I-35. Found the small place and it was exactly what we were looking for! The chips and salsa was super tasty, the half and half tea was on point, and you can't go wrong with a Mexican coke! Ordered the cheese enchiladas plate and the wife got a quesadilla. We were pleasantly satisfied and they hit the spot. Tbh though, the beans and rice won my heart being so flavorful and delicious. The service was superb and I appreciated their thoughtfulness of checking on us to make sure we were doing ok. All in all, we highly recommend you visit them if you're in the area, we got a table quick around 7 pm and it was a quaint epic time! Try it soon and you won't regret!

Their homemade chips are light and crispy, and their salsa is super flavorful while not overly spicy. It hits that happy medium between my husband and me. Breakfast is also great. You go in and pretty much grab a table unless there's a line with people waiting. Service is always friendly and efficient. Prices are fair. Typical mom and pop type interior with a mixture of booth seating and tables with metal chairs. It's always clean. Branch out and try something new. Highly recommend.

And let's talk about the food: it was easily some of the best, if not THE best Mexican food I've had. I got the enchiladas and got my toddler the quesadillas. My toddler DEVOURED his food and part of mine! But here's the part that really makes Mexicano Grill stand out: the people. My toddler made a mess of one of his toys and when our server came by (as she did many times through our visit-our cups and chips were never empty) she offered to take it to the kitchen to clean it off. Then when we were done with our meal, another employee came by and offered to take his portable tray to the kitchen and washed it off! Exceptional service, delicious food, and the kindest people. We will definitely be back and will be bringing anyone who comes to Waco to visit us!

Full disclosure, I've only had one thing on their menu, because this dish is that dang good. My…read morereview is on this dish because it's all I come here for: the Mexican Bowl!! It is the best Mexican dish I've ever had of it's kind. Their green sauce dip for the chips is also fantastic. I LOVE ordering extra green sauce for the Mexican Bowl. The Mexican Bowl is perfect on it's own, but their green sauce takes it to a whole 'nother level. I adore the Mexican Bowl for it's flavor, quantity and ingredients. Let's start with the protein. I get the beef. Their beef is everything to me. How can food be everything? I've never had beef this good in my life - except in my childhood when staying at my Mexican grandmother's house. Hence, you can imagine my face, and heart, when I took a bite of their beef!! Core memories unlocked. Ah, the things food can do. The Mexican Bowl isn't spicy either, which is perfect for me. I'm that oddball Latina that can't have food spicier than pico de gallo! Also, the mix of veggies, protein, etc, are just the right portions. Nothing over powers the other. The flavor in my mouth with each bite is like the very first. I highly recommend the Mexican Bowl, consider some green sauce on the side, if you're seeking a great, light, healthy, tasty Mexican dish. At least for me, it's more than a great dish.

A reservation for this restaurant was made for a group and was specified that the group would need…read morethe space from 6pm -9pm. This was confirmed by the restaurant at the time of reservations and on prior occasions the manager has said this is no problem. The group has 12 people in it and so meals are bought for 12 people which half order alcoholic beverages as well. The group also pays a 20% gratuity. This is perfect, but we had a server who decided he didn't want to take care of the group and would interrupt the game being played frequently and trying to rush us out. He even went as far as telling us that they are closing early. The server mentioned his name is Fernando A. but when asked to remind me of his name he lied and states his name is Javier. We let them know we would be out by 9pm and we had previously confirmed we had till 9pm and the server states "that if we ever come back no server will take care us our table" then states "your not wanted here". This group plays a card game and we sit in the back we clear our dishes off and clean up after ourselves at the end. All that's left is a couple glasses and to finish cleaning the area. This is highly rude and an inappropriate way to care for customers. I would never in a million years eat or recommend this restaurant to others. Fernando A was a terrible server and very rude and inappropriate throwing a "baby fit" because he had to stay and do his job. As for the food it was ok, the area near the bathroom smells of sewerage so this is a turnoff when eating at a restaurant. So all in all I do not recommend this restaurant to anyone. I think that the staff and the smell is a overwhelming amount of evidence that you should beware of going there.

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.
