Wonderful veggie rice bean bowl! My husband loved his BBQ bowl and brought half home. The chips were warm and salsa very tasty. All super affordable, too! Wait staff were appropriately attentive and got refills quickly. Will return and use for take out, too! read more

Great little spot on Hwy 1 in Falmouth. We like to go here before or after seeing a movie at the nearby Flagship Cinemas. They have a yummy drink menu. Recently tried the steak quesaillas which were loaded with steak. My husband got the chimichanga which was bigger than it looked and it's shaped differently which was neat. Something you dont normaly see at a mexican restaurant-the rice has little pieces of potato in it and you can also get mashed potatoes as a side instead of rice and black beans. read more

For Maine this place is great. It is the best Mexican food that has been in residence in this location. I have moved back to CA now after 15 years in Falmouth. The last year in town this was my go to comfort food. Being back in California has reminded me what is missing here . Limes and lots of them. They should be served along side almost all of the tacos and def with the chicken soup, and many more Items on the menus would benefit. Also a nice compliment to there starters would be a traditional Mexican shrimp cocktail. read more

I'm going to preface this review by saying I went for a mid-day meal and drink with a friend around 3pm on a Saturday. I will give them grace and say it was the "shift change", although it didn't appear any staff was leaving. Maybe we should call it their "break" or "dinner service prep". More on this later... The first thing I noticed was the chips provided were not salted, like at all. Secondly, the salsa was bland. Normally a chips and salsa lover, I barely ate any. I ordered the fancy margarita that was supposedly made with their in house "fresh" marg mix and higher end spirits but you could have fooled me. It very much seemed like I was given bottled junk marg mix. A disappointing $14 spent. I ordered the steak bowl and the meat did not seem like steak at all. The pieces were SO incredibly small, it could have been mistaken for ground beef chunks. The bowl looked pretty but lacked flavor. For the service, our waiter and his colleague were laughing, chatting, sat down for their shift meal, etc. while my friend and I stared at them trying to get the waiters attention. He was friendly but when I ordered a beer as a second drink he said loudly "OH why not another one of those?!" Pointing at the empty marg glass. When we wanted our checks, we again had to try get his attention, same when we wanted to pay. Mind you, we were REALLY taking our time. Hence wanting to meet at 3pm for drinks and food, we had a lot to talk about and didn't want to be rushed, but we shouldn't have had to wait for service like we did. The space is huge and we were one of two tables in the whole place. It was clear from the kitchen, that they were prepping and cooking batches of meat for dinner service. Either way I wouldn't return. read more

Fuego - Sizzlin fajita platter - New Mexican Cuisine Near Me - Falmouth, Maine

We came with the family for dinner and to escape the outrageous prices of Portland. The open kitchen and dining room are huge and were not terribly busy on a Friday night. Our party ordered two margaritas, a basic chicken burrito, tacos, a bowl, fajitas and a chicken quesadilla. The margaritas were large and tasty; light on the tequila. Everyone liked their food and noted that the chicken had an actual slightly smoky, grilled flavor. Service was fine, portion sizes generous, and prices reasonable given the quality of food and portions. We were super happy with choosing to come here. read more

Needed a quick place close by and google search showed Fuego on the maps and it wasn't far from where we were already. Happy they had vegetarian options as my friend is a vegetarian. We were the only ones in the place. Service was super fast and the food did not disappoint. We got chips and warm salsa to snack on while they prepared our meals. Chips are not salty at all, which I liked. And the salsa was a mild heat. My friend got a vegetarian burrito that was huge. She couldn't even finish it. And I got the fish taco. The taco was beautifully decorated and it was a big portion of fish. The fish is fried, so it's nice and crispy, on the outside and warm and flaky on the inside. Just a beautiful piece of fish. I did get a pina colada cocktail, it had a nice pineapple and coconut flavor. Balancing each other. Great flavors. read more

Amazing Mexican restaurant! Love the tacos (corn tortillas are the way to go!) Good service, great location and wonderful flavors! Mexican is a go to for me and this is authentic!

This is the third or fourth time that I have been to Fuego, but they have been open long enough where I felt I could review it. The interior is a nice space, but the lighting needs to be improved. The lighting, while trendy, is so dark in the booths that I have had to use my phone flashlight to read the menu, especially in the last booths with no lighting over them. The menu has basic Mexican choices like a bowl, burrito, chimichanga, tacos, fajitas, etc. our group had a steak bowl, steak, smothered burrito, and chimichanga. They give you chips and salsa to start, but the salsa had no spice. The food was good, but very bland for Mexican food with no big flavor. The server brought out a green salsa and red salsa when I asked for some with my bowl as there was a very small portion of pico, sour cream, and guacamole that came on it. The rest of the meals were a good portion size. I have had good drinks here in the past, but they apparently have changed the drink menu as what I previously had was no longer on the menu. While I will probably go back at some point because I live in Falmouth, it will not be a place I actively will seek out. There are way better Mexican options in the area that are on point with flavor and spice. Hopefully, the issues with the space and food will be worked out as they are open longer. read more

Food is good and filling! No one in the area has queso as good as them- also makes great take out!

We got there on a Sunday right at their opening time. It was empty but they sat us up near the front where there was a lot of natural light which was nice. I loved the music, I couldn't help but dance. The inside is colorful and clean. I always love a good authentic Mexican restaurant and this is it. The chips and salad were so good!! Hubby got a burrito that looked incredible and I got a salad that was basically his burrito but with lettuce. Presentation of both dishes were almost as good as the taste. It was delicious and my salad fed me for three meals!!! Decent prices, huge portions of authentically delicious Mexican food. Very much recommend! read more

LOVED this restaurant! Just moved from California, craaaaving good Mexican, and Fuego totally deliverEd! dad had great carnitas rice bowl, stepmom pronounced her pollo bowl delicious, and my chimichanga was unlike any i've ever had, and was absolutely fantastic! Staff were great plus they had the Mexican soda brand Jarrito - always a good sign. Definitely a must visit! read more

I've wanted to try this place since before they opened, but just never got to it. Plus I always just assumed it was a fast casual type place (like Chipotle). Wife and I finally went tonight for dinner. The inside was much larger than I expected, well decorated, and comfortable. Staff was all very friendly. Wife had grilled fish tacos and loved them. Well cooked, fresh, and not dressed up with unnecessary extras. I ordered a chicken chimichanga and it came out looking fantastic - not rolled like burrito as they normally are, but rather like a giant dumpling or wonton. The thing was just stuffed with beef and cheese. Then topped with a cheese sauce. Oh yes, they did give me beef (cut in small cubes, not ground) instead of chicken. Fine with me as I waffled about which to get. It was so good. It was served with black beans and a Spanish rice. Both were good. Prices were very reasonable. Our 2 entrees, 1 soda, and a dessert (to go, still waiting to be eaten) was $40 before tip. Overall, I'm very happy with Fuego and will absolutely be back. Can't wait to try more dishes. read more

This place was so much more than I had expected. I thought it was going to be a privately owned Chipotle type restaurant and boy was I wrong. We LOVED their food. I had the baja fish bowl and my husband had three different tacos. It was seriously so delicious and filling. I had enough for a second lunch. We come to Falmouth on the weekends in the Summer and will definitely be back!! read more

We have not been to Fuego since it opened. We were amazed at what we've been missing out on! Great service, kind workers and our Veggie burritos were out of this world. Fresh veggies, perfectly sauteed with wonderful spices, unlike so many ther mexican restaurants that just don't taste authentic or fresh. The outside of burritos were perfectly browned and the portions were very generous. we will be back A LOT and make up for the time we've lost! read more

Actually really enjoyed our whole experience from start to finish. Latin-staffed and very knowledgeable about the cuisine, the menu is focused but enough choice for everyone in your group. The cocktails are wonderful; try the prickly pear and the smoky margaritas - large, well made, and perfectly balanced. The guacamole was fresh, bright green and creamy - again, very well made. The place was a bit empty when we went, despite a modern and clean decor and a solid menu. The food appeared to be made fresh, as nothing rushed out of the kitchen - a good sign. Everything they served to us was properly prepared, tasty, and used fresh ingredients. I truly hope more people discover this local gem. For a Falmouth Mexican style restaurant, this definitely deserves five stars. read more

We just ordered here tonight for the first time. We got burritos, churros, and chips with queso. My only regret is not trying them sooner. Honestly, this is the best Mexican take out that we have EVER gotten. Maybe the best take out we have ever gotten period. It was amazing. AND it was so reasonably priced. We are so so happy we gave them a shot and look forward to re-visiting regularly. read more

Surprised by some of the low reviews here bc honestly this is some of the best Mexican food I've had in the Portland area with by far the BEST price points. The staff is incredibly friendly and accommodating, the food and the flavors so fresh! Bonus- kid friendly and plenty of parking! Wish I had discovered it sooner but this will be a go to spot. read more

Great dinner last night. We arrived at 5pm and things were quite but by 6pm there was line. The service was a little slow but I think it was becuase they were so busy. They may need a few more wait staff to turn tables quicker. Everyone was very pleasant. We had the yummy house & jalapeno margs. I had the burrito tomatillo and my dinner date had 2 differnt favored tacos. The meal was delicious and I am very excited for lunch today because my burrito was too big to finish last night! Of course I may have over indulged on the Chiro's - they are worth savings room for dessert. We're going back soon. read more

Fantastic new addition to Falmouth! We each got a burrito (one grilled haddock and one carne asada) and we could have easily just split one, so don't be put off by the price--it's basically two for one. Same with the yummy margarita. Both burritos were delicious. Highly recommend! read more

We were on vacation and decided to try Fuego's for lunch. The salsa was a bit bland. I order the chimichanga..... It was very small compared to other places in other states that I have ordered that same meal. It appeared to be a fajita sized tortilla that they fill and pull it up into a little ball and tie it at the top (like a little chinese cheese puff or something) and then fry it. It was pretty good but it could have stood to be bigger in size. I don't think it was worth the price they charge for that dish. I forget what my husband ordered but he wasn't at all happy with his food order. We are from Texas, so the mexican food at Fuego's left a lot to be desired. I would also like to add that although we left the waiter a tip, it was not deserving.... service was not very good and they never offered us a water refill or checked on us to see if we needed or wanted anything else. If we lived there, we would never go back again. read more
