Amazing!!! I urge you to try this place. I had the surf and turf burrito was well balanced and full of flavor.

Ordered the chorizo, carnitas & el pastor, everything was made fresh and taste great! Their chorizo tastes like it's made specially for them, great flavor! Salsas, lemons & radishes were the perfect touch. Restaurant was nice & clean, inviting with good service. read more

Fuego Cravings, you had me at chilaquiles burrito. If you're a crunchy chilaquiles person (and I am), this place is for you -- crunchy is the default and I respect that. I ordered mine with over medium eggs and no onion, and that runny yolk situation inside a burrito? ‍ Tried the red and the green and honestly loved them both for different reasons-- don't make me choose. The young man at the register deserves a shoutout (Yancarlo?)-- genuinely great customer service, and he put us on to the chile de árbol salsa which you HAVE to ask for. Please don't leave without it. We also got coffee, customized half regular, half café de olla-- but heads up, that option is only available at the register. I didn't see it on the kiosk. My friend went for the agua fresca, cucumber limón, large -- and after our long walk it was exactly what she needed. Ordering is easy: kiosk, QR code, or just walk up. We visited on a Saturday around 9:30am and a Sunday around 11:30am, both times with different crowds, and neither wait was bad at all. That consistency means something. A few logistics: seating inside and out, parking in the back, and one gender neutral bathroom. AND, I enjoyed their playlist. Here's what I love most: this is a place that spans generations. My old school Mexican parents would feel right at home, and my hip young nieces and nephew would too. Bring your mom, bring your friends, bring the whole crew-- and support local while you're at it. What else does someone need? Fuego Cravings scratches an itch I didn't know I had. I'll be back whenever the craving hits-- which, based on how good that burrito was, will be soon. read more

While in the city of Whittier I decided to try this restaurant. From the moment we stepped inside, the employees were attentive and professional throughout my visit. It took me some time to decide what to order, as the entire menu looked appealing. I ultimately chose a birria quesadilla, a carnitas Fuego taco, and a surf and turf taco. I also ordered an Agua de Pepino. The food was outstanding--each bite was full of flavor, and the meats were delicious. I definitely recommend this restaurant and look forward to becoming a regular customer. read more

This place is incredible! I can't say enough how much I enjoyed the amazing food, incredible service (so friendly and helpful) and the clean, welcoming atmosphere. Best horchata I've ever had, the churro bites with the sweetened condensed milk was so yummy, the fries were crisp and hot, the nachos were delicious with perfect carne asada and the taquitos de papas were so good. Also the esquite was super good. Highly recommend recommend! read more

The ambience was friendly, very clean. We came for the taco Tuesday special and unfortunately they were not good at all. Due to the poor quality of meat, lots of really hard fat and gristle, my kids didn't even eat their tacos and I had to pick thru mine. It was really disappointing, especially after reading thru all the positive reviews. Seems very busy/popular, so not sure what happened. read more

My husband and I had been wanting to try this restaurant for a while. We stopped by recently for lunch, and were so glad we did! We both ordered the Quesabirria Special and Jarritos sodas. The Quesabirria Special comes with consommé (broth from the birria meat to dip the tacos in) and a side of chips, beans, and rice. We were also given red and green salsa (both were tasty) on the side. Both of us thought the food was very delicious, flavorful, and filling. The Jarritos were the perfect addition to our meals. We were also given a free sample of arroz con leche for dessert, which was tasty and much appreciated! The staff here were very friendly, attentive, and polite. We were greeted as soon as we walked in and felt at ease while dining. The interior of the restaurant was clean, had a relaxing atmosphere, and a good amount of places to sit. They had music playing at a comfortable listening level in the background as well. Overall it was a great experience, and we definitely want to come back soon! read more

First time trying this place, it was really good. I ordered for pick up had the chicken potato taquitos and Asada shrimp burrito. They do put the shrimp hole, not chopped in the burrito. My husband had the birria burrito and said it was juicy not like some other places where the meat is dry. I do feel like the chicken and potato taquitos could've been a little bit better. Maybe it was the tortilla I don't know. But I do like that they're a Jesus Christ based establishment. I noticed on the receipt it said God bless you and your family with a scripture. read more

Nayeli is a standout employee! Kudos to the owner for having her be the front facing staff because she is very friendly!! Really helpful with her recommendations for food and drinks.

Not too much sugar which was great because they were easy to drink. read more

I had passed by Fuego Cravings many times on a Friday night. The signage and the layout of the restaurant always caught my eye. What really caught my eye is that the location was usually empty. This past Friday night I decided to drive in because I wanted to see what they had to offer. I am glad I did! The menu is plentiful and I concentrated on the tortas. I ordered the following: * La Milanesa * La Fuego * La Clasica w/birria * Jalapeno Poppers Wow! Outside of Mexico, these are the best tortas I have ever tasted. The bread was soft yet firm and the tortas were perfectly proportioned and not overstuffed. I didn't want too heavy a meal at 8 p.m. but the tortas were so good and filling that I ate almost two of them! The milanesa was perfection and melted in my mouth. No fat or gristle. The avocado was so savory and smooth. It was almost like a spread. La Fuego is my recommendation. Tops! The beans, onion, avocado, tomato, lettuce, onion, and milanesa blend perfectly to create a savory experience. I asked if this was spicy and I was told it is not. Still, there is just the right amount of spice to add flavor. You'll love it! Overall, don't bypass Fuego Cravings. Plenty of parking too. Enjoy your visit! read more

We came here last week for the first time ever and we were impressed with the service, the flavor and the quality of food! It's your typical hole in the wall spot but with so much more !

Today Christina was the cashier and gave us Great service ! And as the cherry on top ...they have board games available while you wait for food! Overall a DEFINITELY 5 star experience And absolutely recommend read more

I tried this spot recently and it was a great experience: Service was quick, food came out fresh, and the portions felt generous for the price. Quesabirria SpecialThe Quesabirria was delicious, especially with the delicious consume. The tortillas were crisp, the cheese had a good pull, and the meat was tender and well seasoned. The consomé had rich flavor and tied everything together. It also came with beans, rice, and chips. Whittier BurritoThe burrito was big, packed evenly, and did not fall apart. Each bite was delicious and incredibly flavorful. Good balance of salt and spice. Easy to split between two people if you are also ordering sides. Hot Cheeto FriesThese were a fun item if you like heavier food. Fries stayed fairly crisp under the toppings. The Hot Cheetos added heat and crunch without overpowering the sauce and cheese. Best to share, since it is very filling. Churro BitesGreat way to end the meal. The churro bites were warm, with a nice crunch outside and a sweet cream filling on the inside. The dipping sauce was a sweet condensed milk and paired perfectly with the churros! Overall a wonderful experience and I would love to come back to try new menu items. read more

First time going was an OK experience, especially since it was Cinco de Mayo. Place was clean and workers were great and fast with the food being delivered to our table. 3 of us (all Latino who eat homemade Mexican each week) each ordered the 3-taco plate that comes with rice, beans & drink. 1 was chorizo, the other was carnitas and mine was the birria. In all three plates the rice was a bit undercooked and crunchy, beans could have been hotter with more cheese on top but sufficed. The birria tacos were good but no consume to dip, the carnitas and chorizo were average. The drinks were extremely good and not to sweet but had great flavor. I might consider going back but only if someone else was paying for the food, me, one and done is good enough. read more

Food? Delish. Service? Above and beyond friendly. Like "did we just become best friends?" energy. Ambiance? Inviting, clean, and actually enjoyable. No sticky tables, no side-eye lighting, just good vibes and good smells floating through the air. Today I took the kiddos out for a late lunch slash very early dinner situation. The youngest has been campaigning for Mexican food since yesterday like it's an election year, I've been eyeing this spot for months, and my eldest already stamped it with the official two-thumbs-up approval. So... here we are. My youngest and I twinned with the Asada Burrito loaded with beans, cheese, cilantro, sour cream and asada. My eldest went full main character with the Birria Fries. Diet Cokes all around because balance. Now listen. The burritos were a little light on the asada. Not "where is it?" but more like "blink and you'll miss it." Still tasty though. The green salsa could use a little extra something, maybe a kick, maybe a whisper of drama. And I would not have complained about a side of chips making a cameo on the plate. Just saying. But overall? Still happy we finally pulled the trigger and tried it. Pro tip before you go and definitely before you go back: join the rewards program with your phone. You rack up points fast. After one visit I'm already 30-ish points away from a free meal and I've got a free Agua Fresca waiting for me. And we all know a little edible prize at the end of the rainbow just hits different. Until next time...because there will be a next time. read more

I LOVE THIS PLACE!! I was craving a breakfast burrito and decided to come support this local business. Best decision ever. With two burritos and one drink it came out to about ~$40. A little pricey but the portions are huge! We were able to take the rest home and have it for dinner. I really recommends the Breakfast Burrito over the Whittier Burrito. The fries I. The burritos add a nice taste in comparison to the Whittier Burrito which is very meat heavy. Besides the food, let me tell you that my favorite thing was the service! Wow! As soon as we came in, we were treated like a close friend. We let the person know it was our first time and they gave us the best recommendations in food and drinks. The seating inside can be a bit limited so we decided to sit outside since it was a nice day anyways. Even though we were outside, the person working still came out and offered the best hospitality. I cannot wait to comeback. Thank you Fuego Craving! read more

Food is delicious, service is the best! I love and appreciate when Mexican restaurants actually make their aguas frescas from scratch (in house). They let us taste all the flavors.

Horrible customer service and disappointing food. I really wanted to like this place since it's close to my new house and looks like a nice small local restaurant, but the experience was awful. The cashiers were rude and seemed bothered to take my order. My burrito had no beans,m!!!! Just some cheese, rice and a little bit of chewy meat. I paid $20 for what felt like a random, thrown-together burrito. I added fries for $2 more and literally got about 10 old fries. Just horrible overall. Definitely not worth the price. read more

We were craving tacos and decided to give Fuego Cravings a try for the first time today. Upon entering the restaurant, we were warmly greeted by the two employees at the front. The gentleman taking our order made some suggestions and we definitely over ordered. We got the kid's chicken nuggets, torta la fuego, quesabirria tacos, and chicken nachos. Everything was sooo delicious! Another really important thing is the restaurant and bathroom were very clean and well kept. As soon as guests left, the employees were quick to sanitize and clean the tables. Even the high chairs, which often look like a nightmare at alot of places, were pristine. The cleanliness is greatly appreciated. The staff were friendly and attentive throughout our time there. Overall, it was a 10/10 experience and we look forward to our next visit! read more

After hearing great things about this place we decided to come in and check it out. We came in on a weekend afternoon, and were greeted immediately. We were asked if it was our first visit and offered menu suggestions along with an order kiosk that had pictures of all of the menu items. This was super helpful in deciding what to order. We chose a cheese enchilada plate with birria and a modified tostada with carne asada no cheese and no sour cream. Our food was prepared to order and prepared accurately, which was very much appreciated. The flavor of everything was really good and I enjoyed the salsa they brought to the table. It was flavorful and added a bit more spice to the meal. The interior seating area was clean and there was a nice outdoor seating area as well. Service was great and we will definitely be back to try more items! read more
