I'm going to start out with the positives. This restaurant is beautiful. It's right on the water with fire pits for added ambience. Now for the negatives, we were staying at the Maya Hotel and after a long drive we were ready for a couple drinks. We walked in, found two seats at the bar, sat down and the waiting begun. The bartender finally came over to provide menus and then went MIA for 5ish minutes before he took our drink order. I ordered the margarita and my husband ordered the tropical eclipse. The drinks came out fairly quickly but didn't taste as advertised. The menu listed the margarita as a top shelf with premium tequila, Cointreau, agave and lime but tasted like a premade margarita with not much alcohol. The eclipse was not much better. It just kept getting worse, no chips and salsa and after we got our drinks, we didn't see the bartender for 30 mins. This is not the quality of drinks or service I would expect for at an $18 price point with an auto 20% gratuity added on top. The bill for 2 mediocre drinks was $48, outrageous. I will not be coming back to Fuego and will also be picking a different hotel to stay at as this location is pretty isolated and we often want dinner and drinks when we're in town. Very disappointed!

Between passings and relocations, our family Christmases are looking different these days, and trying to cobble together a big family holiday like the days of yore is just an exercise in depression - all we see are the faces missing. So my son, his partner, and my BFF have started a new tradition of going to Fuego each Christmas (well, for the past two, anyway), and both times have been great. But really, I'm offering this review because of the nachos. I am not an "appetizers" person, and I am definitely not a nachos person. I mean, they're fine, but not something I often seek out (unless it's 1a, I'm hammered, and Taco Bell is the only thing open). But these nachos... I'm going to dream of them. Big fat spicy jalepenos, and the cheese, omg, the cheese. I mean, seriously, stop what you're doing and go to Fuego and order the nachos. I ordered the salmon as an entree (pictured; I'm also not a food-picture-taker, but this one merited being That Person in the restaurant), and it was similarly excellent - and the serving and its complements were so generous that I was grateful I didn't order a side. They also serve the best margarita I've had this side of Mexico, and their expresso martini (yeah, I'm a BB that way) was the best I've ever had, hands down. If it wasn't $21, I would've had three. Instead I opted for one, and two $18 margs. Ha. Service was fantastic, though I think our server got a little frustrated/confused when after three stops by the table and two rounds of drinks, we still hadn't stopped talking long enough to make our decisions. Finally, I rallied the troops to actually figure it out so that the fourth time he came by, we were ready. But, he was ever patient with us, and super friendly. I wish I'd gotten his name so I could call him out here. ANYWAY. It's a trick getting there - yes, I did end up going over the bridge, after not trusting my nav and remarking to my friend that I was scared of ending up going over the bridge. Then... on the bridge. I HATE driving over bridges, especially that one. It's still a little confusing, even if you aren't dumb like me; you have to wind your way around a little bit, but it's not so difficult that you should avoid going. Parking is validated - or at least, was today. I'd give them five stars, but for my lack of experience on any day that isn't a major US holiday, I feel like I have to err on the side of that lack of experience. Either way, Fuego is awesome. Big hearts to them for a fun afternoon. It's been a minute since I've spent more than an hour in a restaurant, but the only reason we left after three was because my son's newborn finally woke up hungry. :)

I can speak in my own experience I went last night before going to the queen mary dark harbor as it's down the street And I had been here maybe 15 years ago or so and I had a great experience then And today was same Located inside hotel maya You do get validation of parking which is good but still paid $5 for being there an hour so there's that I guess but going back I had great service overall it was attentive and everyone was nice Forgot to take a pic of the view which included the queen Mary but the tacos we ate where meaty and delicious with flavor Drinks were good and guacamole was too Overall great meal and time and ambience eating outside

If you are looking for a place that has nice views then Fuego is the spot. I had a nice refreshing drink with some chicken tacos. They were good, but they weren't hot just warm. The service was ok as it was busy. The place has lots of seating and views are great wherever you sit. I would come back fs.

Grilled Fish of the Day Tacos

My wife and I were staying at Maya which is connected to Fuego. It is traditional Mexican food with lots of flavor. They do have other options to choose from but it is limited. The burger did look good from a table across from us. Nachos are loaded up. Service was excellent as we sat down and were eating within 10-15 minutes. The selling point for us is the view we appreciated while dinning outside. Overall a great atmosphere if you are looking for Mexican food.

skirt steak tacos
Shelby R.

Yum!! We stayed at Hotel Maya for a night & got this for dinner. I got the skirt steak tacos & a just peachy mocktail, both were very good! The mocktail didn't really have a peach flavor though. The tacos were great- the steak was tender & they were loaded! Service was great, we encountered a couple servers & all were very friendly & helpful. We went about 4pm so it wasn't the full menu but they had good options regardless. If we're ever back in Long Beach, we will definitely eat here again.

Fish taco
Kristine H.

Perfect day in Long Beach for a margarita and some feel-good Mexican food. No wait when we arrived. The vibe? Super chill. It struck that perfect balance between family-friendly and date-night romantic. The fish taco was missing that kick until we had a bite of the spicy pepper. Margarita was crafted well. The atmosphere was just right sunny, breezy, and relaxed. Bring your parking validation ticket and you'll only pay $5.

Jessica B.

Food was nice, quick service and nice people. It was pretty empty but we went early and on a weekday so thats probably why. Views are amazing, if you love the coast. I loved the guacamole and roasted fuego sauce tho. 8.5/10 def recommend !

Amy D.

Valentine's Day brunch at Fuego inside the Maya Hotel did not disappoint! The view of the Queen Mary was stunning, and the Mexican food hit the spot. The menu had plenty of options, including a kid-friendly menu, so everyone could find something they loved. Nothing was a game-changer, but the friendly staff and gorgeous views made up for it. Would be a great spot to bring the family or enjoy a casual celebration.

Cesar Fuego Salad with steak
Ashley D.

Well I have to say that Fuego has definitely improved. The food was amazing this time. Service was good and the ambiance was amazing as usual. On a special note, you have to try the crab cakes. They were spectacular !

Agustin R.

First time trying out this location and let me tell you if you're looking for some good food with a great view. I definitely recommend this location. The service was amazing. The food was amazing and the view was amazing. Brought my wife here for her birthday. It was a party of six and they took care of us as soon as we walked in. They kept checking up on us filling up our water cups. The food was delicious all in all the experience here was amazing. I'll definitely be coming back here soon. .

Cheering with a beautiful view
Veronica F.

My boyfriend and I celebrated Valentine's Day at Fuego at Maya Hotel, and we loved the ambience and amazing view. We sat on the patio with heaters, which kept us warm and comfortable. The food and drinks were delicious, and the Valentine's three-course menu was great. I would definitely recommend this place and will be back for another dinner date.

Cosmo G.

Stumbled upon this restaurant while visiting the area. Loved the ambiance with the water view. The food was pretty straight forward, but the service and energy definitely earned them some points.

It's normally taco Tuesday or dinner. It wasn't busy when we arrived. Mainly everyone was seated outside which we wanted a table as well.

It took a while for someone to come out and clear and clean the table up. It was fine waiting but it was like did someone forget about us. Anyways. We got seated and then the waiting continued. It could be that they were short staff but it seemed like there was only one person working. It took a while for someone to finally come back and acknowledge us and take our order. After that the chips and salsa were brought out. Once we ordered the drinks it was easier to place everything together. Menu for happy hour is pretty limited. A few drinks and beer on drafts and for food, maybe 6 items on the menu. Went with an order of the street corn which was quite tasty. An order of the mole chicken nachos and the queso dip with barria. Out of the three, the queso dips and the street corn were great. Nachos were good but nothing really major. The flavors of everything were quite tasty. Dishes were 12.00 an item. For happy hour, it was decent and what we had was good. The service was pretty slow at the beginning.

It's easily one of my favorite parts of going to a Mexican restaurant, and they definitely deliver there. Their cocktails continue to be consistently delicious. My absolute favorite is the cucumber jalapeño margarita, refreshing with just the right kick. They never miss on the drinks. As for the food, I've had their enchiladas and tacos before. This last time I ordered the blackened shrimp tacos. When I hear "blackened," I expect bold seasoning and flavor. That's not what I got. They were pretty basic and underwhelming for the price. Two tacos for $17, plus an additional $5 per shrimp taco? That felt excessive for what was served. Service was okay. Nothing special, nothing terrible. Now, the location? You can't beat it. Being upstairs at 2nd & PCH with the Alamitos Bay view is a whole vibe. It's a perfect setting for date night or drinks with friends. They don't validate parking, but the first 90 minutes are free, which helps. Overall: great drinks, amazing chips and salsa, beautiful location , but the food (at least this time) didn't quite match the price point.
