I and my girlfriends had a wonderful time at brunch hours on Sunday. The service, food and music were great, and the weather was perfect. There were fans and air conditioning, which felt very refreshing. I would certainly recommend this restaurant. My girls and I will be returning soon read more

It was just me & 1 other person, they said tip was already included? i thought that was so weird. together we order 3 mojitos & fries, total $76 like what lol no receipt or nothing to see what i was charged but whatever won't go back read more

Upon walking in, we were greeted and sat in the patio. It was chilly and they turned on a heater which was fantastic. They were busy on this Saturday morning and then the server took our orders. Drinks came out fast and food shortly after. One concern: the last meal came out 8 min after everyone else. Besides that, we will be back. The food was amazing and we enjoyed our visit. We will be back. read more

Bring your calf muscles because most of the tables are high top. They include gratitude on the weekend so beware. The food is okay. Great location. Margarita flight was just okay. Not strong to me and full of ice. As a bartender I know how that goes. Yes I told the server about it. read more

Came here for lunch and left disappointed. Sat at the bar and ordered some gin cucumber drink which came out average. Had some chips and salsa with guac as well in the meantime. The chips were tasty but the salsa and guac needed salt and seasoning. Ordered the Molcajete to share for lunch and this is where it went downhill. We waited 40minutes for our food to be cooked. The meat was tough, chewy, and lacking flavor, would not recommend this dish. Would be one star but they gave us a shot as an apology for having to wait. The price for the quality of food was slightly shocking as well. Paid just over $100 in total for 2 drinks, a meal, and app, which included tip. Not worth the value. TLDR; go elsewhere. read more

Chips and salsa: Ok #1 - Enchiladas: Good, but not enough salsa. The chicken was very dry. #2 - Flautas: Bad. Menu read tinga, but it was white unseasoned, dry chicken. When we asked the waitress about it, she said they no longer make tinga. The menus need to be updated. #3 - Ceviche: Gross. Shrimp tasted very sour. Food appearance: Ok. Very Colorful but no aroma. The food was warm. Service: Bad. The waitress only checked on us 2x. Our plates were aarived separately. Long wait for our check. I had to go get the check and found the waitress on her phone. Heads up: Autogratuity for a party of 3. read more

I have seen the reviews and the food pictures many times and holy guacamole, they looked good. When approaching the hostess stand the place looked buzzing. The services was decent but where everything went.... Not so well was the food. Let's start with the best of the food. The side of fruit I ordered was the best thing. The menudo that was $15 tasted like Juanita's menudo you buy at the grocery store for $3 including tax. This menudo was very hominy forward and had little accoutrements to go on the side. Only onion and cilantro. I had to ask for lemons, and silverware, and napkins. Like I said, server was nice but I will not be coming back for the food prices or food quality. read more

5.5.25 we ordered drinks and they brought out chips and salsa as I was eating I seen a hair and then noticed it wasn't just one strand of hair it was a clump of hair idk how that even happens but it was so disgusting I was lost of words as we politely asked to speak to a manager one guy came and we started to explain but then went to get someone else bc he said he wasn't the manager then comes Shannon as we explained the situation she did not once apologize she wanted to take the food to see what it was like.. and bring out some more like you think I have an appetite after that then tried to offer free Mexican candy shots for the inconvenience and said she couldn't do anything else because the chips and salsa were complementary, never again will I be coming here service and attitude was 0/10. read more

This place was a hidden gem! The music was a vibe. The service is so accommodating. We had to wait a little bit for service and the server made it up to us in the best way! I had the Mexican mule and my partner had the rose mule and they were both tasty! We shared the fire fries and the molcajete and we took quite a bit home. Absolutely worth the money and I'm looking forward to coming back and trying some other cocktails! read more

My friends and i came here on a weekday after an event we had. This was one of the only bars open late afternoon. Our server was very nice and attentive. And the drinks were so pretty!!! I mainly got a jalapeño cucumber margarita and it was really good. You're able to add jalapeño or spice to any drink just fyi. Whenever I'm in the area later at night, i always see this bar filled up. And they were playing some good music! read more

Its a small space with a fair sizes patio. I needed a restroom and don't have to be told to make a purchase or at least be gracious and extra tidy about it. A margarita it was! The house Marg was tasty and just the perfect balance of sweet and tart. No paper menus it's all on your phone but my phone was almost dead and 30 miles from home I didn't dare download it. The bartender was quick to hook me up with a charging spot. I sat at the bar and really liked this bartenders deminer, I saw him greet friends with a hearty shake of hands and pick up little kids for a quick hug and face to face hello. Sometimes it's easy to see someone's best side. I will absolutely return to Fire Up! read more

Came to eat after going thru the mission inn Festival of Lights. The wait wasn't so bad but you can see that the spot was busy. The isn't much indoor seating so most of it is outdoor patio seating. Recommend bringing a jacket since the heat lamp wasn't working where we were sitting since they did not have any gas tanks. The music can be a little loud but the server was nice enough to turn it down so that the tables near the speaker isn't Yelling at eat other. Service was quick even though it took a while for us to be checked on after seating us. Our server was very nice to acknowledge that they are super busy and that their service is a bit more slow, so he gave us an extra shot of liquor with each of our drink orders. The food coming out of the kitchen was pretty slow and it took a while for the server to bring us chips and salsa. Once the chips came then everything else followed within 10-15 min. Now for the ingestible items.... - drinks: plenty strong as is without the extra shot and it was not super sweet. Good job bartender. - chips and salsa: chips were hot and seasoned. The salsa was a perfect level of spice and flavor. I normally don't describe something as fire, but that salsa was FIRE. - fire up fries: good level of crunch with the fries. It was not soggy at all. Couldn't tell if the cheese was actual melted cheese or some sort of queso cheese, but it was good. The chicken pastor was okay? Mostly tasted like steamed chicken thighs with some light seasoning to me. The fries with the liquid cheese, pico de gallo and guacamole was delicious - molcajete w/ rice and beans: rice was bland. Salted but nothing special. The beans are whole pinto beans and it seems like they put some of the birria consommé in it? It was red and had some strands of meat or something in it, so definitely flavorful. Molcajete came out super hot as expected. The sauce was well seasoned and has a nice kick. The chicken in the Molcajete again felt like it was just boiled chicken... the beef was a bit tough because it was not sliced against the grain. Would come back for appetizers, drinks and vibes. Not sure I'd return for more entree style dishes. read more

2. Not because the food was bad.. but the service was more weird than bad. Got a 3 taco plate and the bacon wrapped shrimp. 3 beers as well.... $90 for two people. Absurd behavior for normal food.

Came here 10 minutes before they open. The patio gate was open so we walked in because we were scared of all the homeless that were roaming around. It was myself (mom) and my 2 kids. A girl came out right away and I immediately told her "I know you guys open at 8" and explain to her we only walked in the patio because we were scared of the homeless She proceeded to tell me she needed us to leave the patio (like 2-3 feet out) because she needed to clean the tables (as if we were seating on the tables) We walked outside to wait for 10 minutes or maybe less by this time. As they're cleaning the tables I asked if there was seating inside because it's 52 degrees outside and she looked annoyed by me asking a simple question. We left and went to IHOP. If you are ok with homeless roaming around while you're eating some with aggressive behavior and a place who doesn't care about their customers safety this is it! read more

Always a great time when we go to fire up grill, the music is always the hits and service is always top notch. We got the molcajete this time around and it was really good and came out quickly. It's was more than enough food for my husband and I. For drinks I tried the Abuelita cocktail which was like a mazapán drink, it was insanely good. Come here for a good time they won't disappoint you. read more

Absolutely love this place. I ordered the chilaquiles and everything tasted homemade. They don't use the nasty bagged rice like a lot of restaurants. They actually make the rice themselves and you can taste it. Additionally we were greeted with some pan dulce appetizer that was elevated with some type of glaze. The staff was also so welcoming and very kind. Lastly the ambiance was traditional Mexican Haceienda vibes but also very artsy. Loved the atmosphere and food. We will be going back as regulars. read more

I definitely recommend this restaurant when you're in town. Parking: This location is literally next to a parking garage, so parking should not be an issue when you're coming to this restaurant. If you don't park in that particular parking garage, there are a few parking garages nearby as well, if you're planning to walk around afterwards. There are street parking not too far as well, if you want to avoid structures. Food: A great variety in selection, from appetizers, to main entrées. Our table shared the chips and guacamole. Highly recommend this appetizer, it was delicious. Then for the main entrée I had their popular tacos, came in serving size of 3. Drinks: Plenty of selections to choose from when you're trying to get drinks. From bottled or on tap beers, to well drinks. I had the Mule, which was really good as well. Next time I come here, I definitely want to enjoy a beer, and a game. Seating: They offer indoor, and outdoor seating. We sat outside, so I personally didn't see inside, and how many seats they offered. But for the outdoor seating there was plenty, and we had a party size of 6, that easily sat comfortably. Staff: Very welcoming, and friendly right when we arrived. The waitress answered all questions efficiently, and friendly. Staff I easily give 5 stars too. TVs: If you're looking for a place to catch a game, this place has you covered. Recommendation: Absolutely read more

Apparently this place has gone downhill. It was my first time here and I wasn't impressed. My friend, who's been here a few times in the last few years, told me this will be his last time at Fire Up Bar & Grill. The service was unorganized. They kept bringing the wrong thing and my friends drink arrived way after our food did even though we ordered it before ordering food. My fire shrimp tacos were way too salty and was very one dimensional flavor wise. My friend told me his tacos (Al Pastor and Birria) weren't that flavorful either. Nothing was bad, except that nothing was great either. read more

Music: 7/10 7 because I can't understand how you go from grupos to ghetto rap. (In my opinion) Drinks: 10/10 No complaints. Beer wasn't flat. Margarita flight had the flavors on point and forgot what the other one we got was called, but good! Atmosphere: 5/10 The owner was making a fool out of himself. Not going to put his business out there but, he should keep his negotiating to himself (Loud & obvious) especially the people who work for him. Dude was louder than the music and he had a table right in front of us. Wouldn't complain if my boss bought me drinks and what not but, it ain't right if you're serving other people still. Food: 2/10. Still can't understand how you mess up a guac salsa, or whatever that was. Seriously, FLAVORLESS! Molcajete tasted nothing how it looks. Meat had all the pellejo. If you charge that money for that, that's a crime with it being that tasteless and chewy. I agree with the comments about the guac salsa... whatever you call it. Whack! Overall: Overpriced. read more

Honestly, was looking to have a fun experience having morning mimosas, but unfortunately, this is not a place for mimosas. They take forever for a place that's not even busy, I didn't like the fact that I have to be waiting for another drink, like 30$ that you can drink up in the next 10 minutes and then you're waiting for 45 minutes extra so they can bring you another round. It is completely not worth it. And honestly, we've been sitting here for the past 45 minutes and we still haven't had service to place our food order. read more
