    Fantastic food and service - thank you Devin. Ordered something new, flautas, and they were delicious. Love the jalapeno ranch sauce and drinks.

    Yummy steak burritos with green chile rice
    Todd L.

    Always love to start with the service, Brittney was our server and she was right on top of things despite having several other tables that popped in right after us. I love it when a host has good recommendations and has actually eaten the food. Brittney came through for us and we all had good dinners after a long travel day. The beer didn't hurt either. My only complaint is that they have no beer on tap, every restaurant that serves beer should have at least a small selection on tap but I made due with the bottles. I know it's a rough life right? The food was solid. Steak burritos were a hit and the green chile rice was a good addition. Slightly too much salt for my tastes but all in all very good and I would eat here again. General ambiance was some where between 50's diner and Texas road house but all family friendly.

    First time trying Tex-Mex the food was flavorful and a bit spicy. Our waiter was very nice and attentive. the restaurant was very whimsical but a bit crowded.

    This chip dip sauce is theeee best in texas!!

    The food is marginal. The green sauce is good. The service is just ok and the outside patio is great on a nice day! EXCEPT that the entire patio minus our table, was left gross and dirty with old food all over the place! While multiple servers went by over & over again as we ate our dinner & no one cleaned up or picked up anything! I don't think I'll be back!

    Waco place to eat. Great atmosphere, great service. Very busy the night we went. Looked like a prom night with girls in heals even though rainy. Our stop over hotel Tru, was close by and this was recommended. Great choice for us. Love the Jalapeno sauce or I call gravy. We rarely eat at the one in Norman ok, not sure why. This will stay on our fav list for Waco.

    This was an exceptional visit. I came here with some of my friends, we all were wanting some good Mexican food. I can't say we got good Mexican food, but we did have some of the greatest service we have ever received from our server John. John made the three star review into a four star. I would highly recommended asking to sit in his section if you want to be treated well. The whole vibe of the restaurant is nice but sooo much better with John as your server.

    Our Tex-Mex go to in Waco! Great food with a busy college/family atmosphere. We loved the portion sizes and relaxed ambiance. We had the chimichanga and the enchiladas as both were equally delicious. The soup tho... amazing! The tortilla soup was to die and my wife had two bowls??? When does that happen?? Overall great food at reasonable prices. On my list to go back the next time we're in town.

    Tres Leches
    Cody L.

    I'm usually don't say this, but make sure you save room for dessert! The Tres Leches is spectacularly delicious... and it's huge so you can share. Food portions are also huge so you will need to pace yourself... Chips are light and crispy... Salsa is more like fresh pico so you might want to get the queso too. We ordered The Elvis Presley Memorial Combo... so much food! (It comes with a chicken, ground beef & cheese enchilada each with a unique sauce... crispy hard shell ground beef taco and a tostada). We also ordered the Steak Burrito covered in Hatch Green Chilies and lastly kids chicken tenders. Yummy, yummy!!! No regrets! Service was friendly and the atmosphere is casual and fun... be sure to check out the Elvis mini memorial in the foyer honoring The King who lived nearby in Kileen, TX back when he was in basic training.

    We chose this restaurant based on its high reviews, but unfortunately left very disappointed…read more After being told to seat ourselves, we waited so long for menus and drinks that we nearly left. The waitress was sweet, but remained slow throughout the entire meal. Our waitress never offered drink refills, and we waited extended periods for a to-go box and our check before finally going to the cashier ourselves. The biggest issue was a strong sewage-like odor coming from the restroom area. We were seated nearby, and every time the bathroom doors opened, the smell drifted into the dining room. Even the handwashing station in the dining area had the same unpleasant odor. The food looked great when it arrived, and the chips and salsa seemed fresh. However, I was disappointed to learn they no longer serve guacamole with their fajitas. The chicken fajitas arrived sizzling hot, but became very dry as they cooled. They were spicy, but lacked much flavor. The rice and beans were good. Overall, between the slow service, unpleasant smell, and mediocre food, I would not return or recommend this restaurant. There are plenty of other Mexican restaurants in Waco that I'd try before coming back here.

    The food is very good. The service is outstanding. The chips…read moreare not good. There's so much seasoning on them that you don't get to appreciate the salsa because the chips are overpowering.. A restaurant with this type of quality needs to have chips that are made in house without anything other than salt.

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!

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.

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.

    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.
