    Smoked Brisket Benedict; Follow me @RimyEats on Instagram
    Amy Z.

    We went a bit overboard and ordered so much food here. The portions were also HUGE here so you get your monies' worth. Mac and cheese was really good, I would have loved it if the crispy bacon was smaller and more infused into the dish. The smashed skillet was good but would recommend more finely diced or shredded potatoes. The smoked brisket benedict was intense! It was loaded with brisket! Overall a great spot, would come back and try other items! I also loved the interior and the plating!

    Had to tear our black force so-called cake apart. I think it was Albertsons with cherries inside it.

    Unfortunately, our experience was pretty disappointing from start to finish. I ordered a sangria, and when it finally arrived after quite a wait, it tasted basically like fruit punch. I mentioned to another employee that I didn't think there was any alcohol in it and that it didn't seem like a sangria. He said he would get our waitress. About 15 minutes later, she finally came over, and when I asked about the drink, she told me it was actually a mocktail sangria. That was never made clear when I ordered it--I thought I was ordering an actual sangria. Since I already had the drink, I asked for a shot of vodka to add to it. Between the mocktail and the vodka, I ended up paying $27 for a drink that wasn't even what I thought I had ordered. The service continued to be extremely slow. Our food was delivered, but our waitress didn't check on us for around 15 minutes. By that point, our food was getting cold. We had asked for salt and pepper and received two salts but no pepper. When she finally returned with my vodka, we had to ask again for the pepper. We decided to order dessert and chose what was described as Black Forest cake. Unfortunately, it was another disappointment. It tasted more like something you would pick up from a grocery-store bakery than a restaurant dessert and wasn't what I expected from a Black Forest cake. It had a cherry on top and layers with cherries in the middle, which also wasn't mentioned when we ordered it. Overall, the biggest issues were the very slow and inattentive service, the confusion over the drink, the $27 cost after having to add alcohol to what I thought was already an alcoholic sangria, and a disappointing dessert. For what we paid, I expected a much better experience. Which you saw the picture was $120 meal with tip not worth it

    Came over for the first time to celebrate my birthday with a few friends. We were meeting for Happy Hour and was surprised how big the lounge area was. There were many large seating area available. One main cedar table was a big attraction. There is a fireplace with a table by it We got a table. I ordered a Borgona, fruit puree juices mix with Sprite. Never had one, but sounded really good. It came and it was delicious and fruity for a mocktail. We ordered a shrimp ceviche and octopus skewers to start out with. The Shrimp Ceviche was very delicious and it was something that I was very happy to share it with my friends. It was a big portion of shrimp cocktail with salsa on the bottom and these large sized blue chips. It was so good that we ate it quickly. Octopus skewers was a tad charred. Yet very delicious especially if you eat it with the pineapple together. Brings out the flavor of the pineapples quite well. We ordered the Pork Belly Tacos and Mole Shrimp Tacos which came in 3. I absolutely loved street tacos filled with good fresh ingredients. And both of these hot the spot. The pork belly was an absolute great flavor of the pork belly. The Shrimp was delicious. Cook perfectly and easy to devour quickly. DeFuego Nachos had Jalapenos. But wasn't listed. The nachos were delicious and it was quickly devoured. Wings came in 4 wings with garlic parmesan with carrots and celery and ranch on the platter. Heavily garlic on the wings yet very delicious. Half wedge salad was a surprise how much there is in the salad. A lot of fresh veggies there with cherry tomatoes and sliced radishes in it. I had a absolutely fun experience celebrating my birthday here. DeFuego had Happy Hour from 3pm to 6pm, seven days out of the week. Seems the Happy Hour here is very popular. You have 21 appetizers to choose from on the Happy Hour Menu. There are Mocktails, and any drinks you want available. Definitely will come back again.

    Excellent meal! The location was not what we were expecting, but wow, great food and service. The bread with the chimichurri was SO good. We had fajitas and an arepa. The pork on the arepa was fantastic. Definitely one of our best meals in Oregon!

    Listen, lemme tell ya Defugo ain't just a bar, it's like a little love letter to your taste buds, okay? First off, getting in? Fuggedaboutit. The line moves smoother than a jazz sax on a Saturday night. You step in, and bam people are smiling like they just found a hundred-dollar bill in their coat pocket. The vibe? Oh mama... it's cozy, sultry, and kinda cheeky, like it knows you've had a rough week and it's here to fix it. The cocktails? Each one's a freakin' masterpiece. I swear, they sneak a little magic in there, 'cause suddenly your problems shrink and your grin gets wider. And the whiskey? Smooth enough to make your grandma blush, and she's tough as nails. But here's the kicker the people. Everyone's like your best friend you didn't know you had. Bartenders? Wizards. Staff? Angels with funny jokes. You want a spot that feels like your secret club, your little slice of heaven with just enough sass to keep it exciting? Defugo, baby, Defugo. Bottom line: if you haven't been, you owe it to yourself. Take your special someone, your best friend, heck, even your cousin who thinks whiskey is too "grown-up." You'll leave smiling, tipsy, and thinking, "Yeah, life is pretty damn delicious." Five stars, no question.

    Breakfast asado

    The weather is has finally gone off the deep end in Portland so if you wanna get brunch but not be forced to wait outside in line for one of the hyped brunches in town come to de Fuego, a hidden gem that serves an under the radar solid brunch with no wait but still a bit more elevated than your typical restaurant. For $50 you can order their Breakfast Asado which feeds 2-3 people and comes with a plethora of food and sauces. You'll get a decent amount of hangar steak, sausage (chorizo?) bacon, toast, eggs, amazing roasted potatoes and some chimichurri, romesco, and a pesto? I'm not sure but it all tastes great and at $50 it's an incredible value as well. *Zero wait *Good value *Nice vibe *Parking lot *Good/great food This place is the total package and easily one of the most slept on places for brunch in the Portland area.

    We got the Fettuccine Alfredo and Argentine Asado. It is a bit pricey, but honestly, the asado plate was a 10/10. The platter was absolutely delicious and easily the highlight of our meal. If you're going to eat here, I think the asado is one of the options that's actually worth the price compared to some of the other dishes.

    Shoot. Last night I took my boyfriend here to celebrate a special event & we left so disappointed! We got there at 7:15 & we were stuck there for over 2 hours! I ordered 2 things and both came out wrong. Our waitress spoke very loudly and we could hear her having long personal conversations with people a couple tables away from us for 10+ minutes at a time, several times. While we waited for her, we ran out of water a few times and I had to ask for more. It was over an hour before our order was even taken. We did flag her down to order an appetizer, brussel sprouts with cheese on the side due to a dairy allergy, but... the sprouts came out with cheese on them. They corrected this fairly promptly, but then we sat for another 45 minutes before our order was actually taken. I ordered a steak as "somewhere between medium & medium well" and she correctly repeated my order back to me "medium/medium well." When the steak came out, it was WELL well done. Like, burnt. I wanted to send it back, but I didn't want to deal with the embarrassment or have to wait even longer for food. We were about an hour & 45 minutes into dinner by the time we got our food. I was so disappointed! I also wanted to get dessert to celebrate the occasion but the service was SO slow that we had to cancel our after-dinner plans. We ordered it anyway & requested the check promptly, giving up on our plans for the rest of the evening. We were only a party of 2, we arrived early for our reservation, & we watched several larger parties come and go while we waited for our order to even be taken. It was a Wednesday night and not overly busy, there were several empty tables, so I'm not sure what the hold up was. We were also seated at an odd table next to the kitchen with a small divider between us and the staff. It was noisy and I even heard 2 staff members exchange a joke about how someone else had left & said they'd never come back. They laughed about it. I wish I had the guts those people had to get up & leave! I've never once left less than a 20% tip and felt immense guilt not tipping well, but after experiencing the poor service then also hearing the staff blatantly acknowledge it & not care.... I was appalled. The Hilton bought the hotel attached to De Fuego and I'm shocked. This was a Monarch hotel before and I'd assume that the Hilton's standards would be higher but the service and quality here have tanked hopelessly low since the acquisition. I had a similar experience at The Underground before it closed. I've learned my lesson & won't come here for a special occasion again.

    Great food! The atmosphere is professional and the ambiance is amazing. This is a great place for dates. I enjoy getting a couple dishes and sharing with the table!

    Burger + fries. 7/5/25

    The hubby and I were staying in a hotel just a block or two away from de Fuego and this restaurant was at the top of yelp with. 4.5 rating. It's a tavern located in the Monarch Hotel. Although it was after 6pm on Friday, the happy hour menu was effective and the dinner menu was not available. That was no problem as the happy hour prices were great. For me, I did not order any alcoholic beverages nor a mocktail. Just pork belly tacos and an ice water. Tasty and crunchy yet a little greasy. Hubby got a burger and fries. For the sangria available, it was a mocktail version. Everything was good but, not remarkable. Service was okay too. It was just our server and the bartender working. Not too busy and she seemed to be handling all the customers well indoors and out. Parking is plentiful and free. 3.5 stars overall but rounded down to 3. Just A-OK.

    As our church group, we've been here before, so I was calling again to make reservation. The staff answering the phone asked me: "Was this for one check?" And I responded with: "there will be 10 of us, and each one will be paying for their own, except three of us. The minute we sat down, I was asked again, "one check? It is our requirement for over 6 to pay in one check." I repeated: "They would want to pay for their own checks, but I'll ask if they want to do that." He also asked me: "Are you celebrating anything?" I said: "Yes, we're celebrating our 51st Wedding Anniversary, and one a birthday." All 9 of us showed up, except one. I mentioned to my guests, over 6 they required only one check. My guests were quite disappointed. If that was such an issue, we would have gone elsewhere! Of course, they weren't listening, and since they all live in different cities, and apartments or retirement homes, many of them DO NOT CARRY CASH! The lunch were enjoyed. The waiting was long, even though, it wasn't crowded, lunch time, only a few were eating. Only two servers. I understand, short staff everywhere. The food, we enjoyed them, the servings were tasty and as far as bringing our group here again. . . .? Whatever happened to the question of: Are we celebrating?

    Breakfast Asado
    Xiadani G.

    The restaurant is so nice! We loved the seating area, we got a booth. Our server was attentive and patient with our party. The food was delicious! My husband and I shared the breakfast asado and the Argentinian sausage was my favorite. The French's toast de coco was sweet but delicious. It had a dulce de leche sauce and balanced well with the banana. I forgot to take a picture of the strawberry mint mocktail but it was refreshing! I would definitely recommend and we plan to be back soon.

    Do they still do bottomless mimosas for brunch? What are the drink specials during brunch?

    Is this business family friendly for children?

    Absolutely! There is a restaurant side and then a bar side. Kids are always there and plenty of food options for them.

    I'm hoping for some clarity around your hours. I see on your website that Happy Hour starts at 4 daily - does that mean you close lunch at 3 and open for happy hour at 4? Then, dinner starts at 5?

    I would call them since hours are different usually during the holidays.

    I'd like to dress up (wear a dress) to dinner. Will I feel overdressed? How casual is the atmosphere?

    always dress however you want where ever you go. I'm always over dressed lol. Outside is not very fancy, metal chair patio vibes.… 

    Do you offer vegan options?

    They have a limited selection.

    Do you still offer a brunch buffet?

    Yes

    Is the patio heated?

    Hiyah! I've definitely seen outdoor heat lamps in use at de Fuego. If you're really concerned, I'd ask when you call to make reservations. Enjoy!

    Any good happy hour drink specials?

    Yes; see menu.

She said it was up to the server. I told her I'm sure her manager would be fine with it. Boy was ai wrong. After waiting 10 minutes for a Manger I saw him him and approached him.

So I sat at the bar and waited to see if he could get the game. He couldn't so I left. Pretty disappointed in the bartenders attitude and managers attitude not letting me sit in front of the big screen. If you had the game I'm sure I would spend at least $100. I had friend joining me.
