Very nice night!! We were accepted super last minute the night before Christmas for 8. Only 6 showed & we accepted the terrace. Only complaint was the loud metal plate out front. Clanking all evening But not their fault. The food made it worth it! We truly enjoyed all the food, ever we had was absolutely amazing!! The bread was a treat and nice & light. The best night for a holiday dinner. Thank you!!! read more

Fuego was indeed fuego (sorry). I was craving a roasted whole fish and the version that they do here was flavorful and a substantial portion, stuffed with spinach and some sort of foam drizzled over veggies, with perfect crispy skin. I would've liked the actual meat of the fish to be more tender (it bordered on overcooked) but still I walked away plenty satisfied. It does have lots of tiny bones. Bread basket came with the most delicious roasted eggplant in oil, I could've eaten just that with the bread and been a happy camper. The roasted octopus was not bad but a touch too heavy on the sauces for me, I would've wanted more of the flavor of the octopus on its own. The potatoes under the octopus, however, were perhaps my favorite part of the whole meal. Everyone else seemed happy with their food - the catch of the day (with the fluffiest mashed potatoes) was a very popular choice. If you're sick of seafood, they have steak and braised brisket on their menu. Really cozy and romantic ambiance as well for if you want to dress up slightly. This place gets very popular for good reason; I liked the little bar counter they set up out front so you can watch the grilling in action. read more

We enjoyed everything we ate! The grilled calamari was good but not for me due to the texture. The bread they give you with that eggplant spread is amazing! The pork belly Bahn mi was excellent, perfectly crisp. My lobster and risotto dish was cooked perfectly and came with a nice orange butter sauce. My companions grouper was also very well prepared. Service was amazing, constantly checking in on us and our drinks were always full. The ambiance is very nice with an upscale island feel. I would recommend this place and I see why others do as well. read more

Just a really good restaurant. Not excellent, but very good. All of the food was really good. Service was good. The place was really small and very hot. Bathroom was like the size of an elevator. Very tight quarters to say the least. But overall I would definitely go back! read more

Really top notch place; we saw this place had great reviews, but we honestly did not expect to have such an incredible meal. Staff were so sweet and helpful, all from Argentina, and the ambience was wonderful, with all of the food grilled over an open fire in the center of the small, cozy, open air restaurant. We had the grilled octopus as an appetizer, which was charred and grilled to perfection, over patatas bravas and all smothered in some delicious sauces. We had the catch of the day (red snapper) prepared in an Argentinian fashion, over garlic mashed potatoes with molten feta cheese and dill; really delicious. The Textures of Chocolate dessert was to die for! read more

This restaurant is a MUST visit when you are here in Isla Mujeres!! It is our third time on the island and our first dinner here. The restaurant is cozy, with tasteful decor and the food is out of this world! We had the BEST Sangria that I have ever tasted. The gazpacho was incredible with the flavors bursting in your mouth! I ordered the Camarones with fettuccini . The shrimp were some of the best I've had anywhere! My husband ordered the Red Snapper on a bed of mashed potatoes with capers and feta cheese. The fish was delicious. I highly recommend this restaurant. It is a little off the beaten path but no too hard to find. read more

Not too far from Punta Del Sur on Isla Mujeres, this gem is worth a visit if you are on the island. We weren't too hungry when we arrived so we had cocktails and two entrees for our family of four. The catch of the day which was red snapper was delicious and served up with some tasty roasted vegetables while the lobster tail was cooked and served with a delicious butter sauce that they made in house. The cocktails were great and the service was friendly and good. You'll need a golf cart or taxi to get here if you're visiting Isla Mujeres. We were happy with our visit. 5 stars and two thumbs up! read more

Fuego De Mar - Grilled octopus - Seafood Near Me - Isla Mujeres, ROO

We've been on Isla Mujeres for a week, and our best meal to date has been here, at Fuego De Mar. our server, Elliot, who was fantastic, recommended their Catch of the Day special--black grouper in a chili and peanut crust, with sautéed vegetables and a sweet corn consume poured over it. It was so delicious--the sweetness of the corn playing so nicely with the spicy earthiness of the crust on the perfectly cooked grouper--that I asked for a spoon to get the last of the consume from the bowl! They also brought us extra of their delicious bread to soak up the liquid. My partner had a very good spinach gnocchi dish with asparagus in a cheesy sauce, and I had two, very tasty hibiscus margaritas. Service was wonderful, and prices were quite reasonable--on par with other restaurants on the island (and inexpensive by Portland standards). It was especially fun to watch the seamless working together by the cooks and servers, with three different people plating my dish at the same time. We'll be back, and you should go too! read more

Best meal I've had in a long time - Mexico or anywhere - and we live in a foodie town. It's not particularly cheap and it's clearly made for gringos but so delicious. We particularly liked the gazpacho, octopus, squid, smoked provolone cheese, gnocchi and the lemon crumble desert. read more

Fuego De Mar - Mojito cocktails - Seafood Near Me - Isla Mujeres, ROO

It was literally within walking distance and the reviews made it a must stop in! We started with a cheese dip and octopus. Wasn't a fan of the sauce on the octopus so didn't find it enjoyable at all. The cheese was good, with a sweet kick to it, but a little oily. The brisket was cooked to perfection and the potatoes paired nicely with it. The New York strip was ordered medium, and parts of it as well done, but it was decent. There's really no ambiance - just the sound of frying and the heat that comes off the wood oven can be a bit intense so, sit in the corner or outside. I wish i could give 3.5 out of 5 instead of a 3. Not a bad spot, but several items I wouldn't order again. The steak and brisket were perfect, so start with that! read more

My husband and I travel to Isla annually for the whale shark migration. We are active farmers, and heavily involved in the specialty food/fine dining industries in The States. We have been privileged to work, and dine in Michelin Star restaurants. When dining out, we are processing the experience at every level. We do NOT dine out often. Even while vacationing, we prefer to prepare our own meals. Fuego de Mar was highly recommended by friends that live on the island. This place is a treasure. We walked here from our vacation rental on a weekday evening, and were welcomed warmly by several Folx working. We sat outside to watch the residential nook of the island move at night, while nibbling on complimentary freshly baked bread, and confit eggplant. We ordered most of the menu, which I recommend if you want to splurge a little. Chef is on his game. The music was soulful and chill, the staff was attentive, cool, and laidback. The resident kittens all have names and a story. You should eat here. read more

The calamari, red snapper and lobster were all three phenomenal. The atmosphere great & the service was incredible. We will be back again. A hidden gym on the island. We HIGHLY recommend. read more

We really enjoyed this place. The catch of the day (grouper) was fantastic! We also had the octopus appetizer and brisket, both were great.

First, we feel it's important to say that we are foodies and lucky enough to have been able to enjoy our passion for food and dining pretty much across the globe. Our evening at Fuego registered as one of our 10 best dining experience of all time The service was friendly and impeccable. The ambiance from lighting to smell coming out of the wood oven was perfect. Above all, the food was exceptional. Cooked to perfection, incredibly tasteful, variety in flavours and options. From appetizers, to the two fish dishes we had, and deserts it was exquisite. We even drove back the next day to ask for their dessert recipe which they shared with us. It was amazing. We would fly back to Isla just for dinner there read more

Sebastian, the Chef Owner really knows what he's doing. I've managed a number of NYC restaurants over the past 30 years and have very high standards. This restaurant received some great reviews so I decided to try them out. They totally nailed it. Everything was amazing. The meal started with their home made bread that is served with pickled eggplant. The calamari appetizer with pesto was a standout as well as the lobster ravioli and the Brisket. Seriously, do not pass up the opportunity to come here. The food is so fresh and thoughtfully created. Gaston, our waiter did a great job and timed everything accordingly. I will be back! read more

I sat at the chef's table and watched them cook everything. After a nice glass of red wine I ordered the brisket and more wine. My meal was perfect. I eventually made conversation with the man and woman cooking(I'm horrible and forgot your names). The server and host were excellent. This review is most importantly about the simplicity and also the attention to detail that these two chefs put into every last piece of food that hit a sauté pan, grill or wood burning oven. The taste and texture of the brisket was perfect. I watched approximately 35 plates go out and every little thing these guys touched looked and smelled outstanding. I highly recommend. Thanks for a great meal and great conversation. I wish I took a photo of the highly efficient kitchen setup. Such a great kitchen. read more

Happened upon this restaurant last night with our family. We had an amazing meal, what ever you order make sure and get it with the vegetables, they are roasted to perfection and so flavorful. The food would compete with any high end restaurant in Houston or Dallas. Also, their take on the banana split is delicious! read more
