My fiancé and I went to celebrate our birthdays and a job promotion. None of which was acknowledged during our dining experience. When we made the reservation we noted both of these things. The menu is a lie. We specifically came to this place because the menu looked good. Turns out the menu they have online isn't correct. So when we sat down and saw the menu it was completely different and not at all what we wanted. But because it was 7:30pm we were hungry and decided to stay. Food: the calamari was good, solid 7/10. The esquites was straight up robbery. It was just loose corn in a small cast iron. That's it. Just trying to make money off of Hispanic culture. SMH. We ordered the Ahi Poke Nachos but our waiter never gave it to us. Which is crazy. We shared the steak, my fiance said the meat quality was nice but I found it to be a bit burnt. So it's a preference thing. Drinks: we got the mocktails. But one out of the two they have had 5% alcohol. Soooo that's not a mocktail. Service: bad. I see why they automatically do a 20% tip on the bill, because no way they would be given that willingly. This one server closed an umbrella and it had random leaves on it, they fell onto these two ladies at a table and when they told him, he didn't even care. Extremely rude.Myself and those ladies were shocked by how he treated them. read more

Not a huge fan as the service wasn't great, drinks were pricey and it's in a hard to get to location. We entered the restaurant at around 930pm on a Thursday night (they close at 10pm) and it looked like they were cleaning up after a big party. No one greeted us so we asked someone if we could sit at the bar. He pointed to the bar so we went and sat down. It took a few min for us to be greeted after we sat at the bar. There were a few other patrons at the bar as well. We ordered a couple drinks and the bartender asked if we wanted them to go. We said no thanks, we will drink them at the bar. We got our margarita and tiki torch delivered a few min later, in plastic cups, for $17 per drink. Based on the underwhelming service, non friendly staff and pricey drinks, we won't be back. Great location tho which was disappointing. read more

I came here for my girlfriends birthday and I was a bit unimpressed. The restaurant is beautiful and it really makes for a cute instagram photoshoot, but that's it. The cocktails are good. The food was average. For the price, the food can be rated as below average. I would come back if a friend had a celebration but not out of my will. Staff is very friendly. Sad to give this place a bad review. read more

My boyfriend and I came here to grab a quick bite. Staff was attentive and everyone provided great customer service. We got the guacamole and 10/10. The guac was fresh, flavorful, the chips were perfect, crunchy, thin and not overly salty. It also came with salsa and it was spicy but enjoyable. My boyfriend got the carne asada and he said it was perfectly cooked. It took some time for the dish to come out but it was worth it as the meat was juicy, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. If you're in the area I recommend checking this place out! read more

We were served steak that we were told was prime rib. One of my guests is a professional chef and he confirmed it was not prime rib. I spoke to the manager and he insisted it was. I have always enjoyed this restaurant, but I don't think I will go back for a holiday meal. read more

First time here. Must try when in Long Beach. Did not disappoint. What a great place to enjoy a Sunday afternoon with friends. Everything we had was delicious from the mimosas to salmon and guacamole. Beautiful views and music. Parking validation for a couple of hours read more

The food was decent. I had the street corn and the fish tacos. They used salmon for the fish tacos which was good but I was expecting a white fish. I think the seasoning could have been improved. They were also out of all the Sauvignon blanc wine, which was up to 4 of the short list they offered. The view was amazing of course but the service hindered the night. We saw our server at the beginning but had to flag him down to order more drinks and pay for the night. I know it was busy but still I didn't see him at all rounding on tables. He noticed I was low on water throughout the night but failed to refill it. The hotel looked beautiful but I was expecting more from the restaurant. read more

Fuego - View from the restaurant - Mexican Near Me - Long Beach, California

Food & service was good BUT they charging $2.50 PER FORK if you don't pay the cake cutting fee. This was revealed after we've cut the cake privately. Love the scenery but the cake cutting fee is what messed me up. Anyone bringing cake for your party - buyer beware. read more

Ask for Jose behind the bar. We stopped in for a little coffee in the morning and we were welcomed with warm smiles and the service was fantastic. He hustles behind the bar but makes everyone feel welcomed. read more

It's given meh. You are paying for the view and environment. First and foremost the staff was amazing. Hostess was alright but our waiter was A1. Came here for a birthday and will say this, Which doesn't count towards the score but it's semi hard to get here or seemed confusing, parking is a lot but you can get validated for rebated price because it's apart of the hotel. The seats if u sit inside are rather weird. Large and clunky yet uncomfortable. It's doable but not the best. The prices are wild but bomb. Almost everything was a seafood item so just heads up for the non seafood folks but makes sense it's ocean adjacent. The drinks are the star of this place. Great in taste and alcohol level. The wait staff was amazing in refills, extra untenable and not only held our birthday but also cut it up for us and served it to us after singing. read more

On my out to the Cali Vibes Fest I stopped at Fuego for some seaside dining. I started with the Grilled Lamb Chops with Chimichurri, Jalapeño Pepper Escabeche, Spring Sweet Peas, Roasted Sweet Potato with Cotija Cheese. This appetizer was the best dish of the evening. The lamb was cooked perfectly, meaty, and full of flavor. I would hands down recommend starting with the lamb. The meal that followed wasn't as good. I had the Ropa Vieja, a Cuban Style Braised Short Rib over a Black Bean Purée on Crispy Corn Tortillas with Cabbage Escabeche, Caramelized Plantains, and Crema. The first thing I noticed was that my fried plantains were cold and the short rib was warm at best. I was very disappointed in the temperature of my meal. The flavors were there I guess, but the portion was so small. For $33 I expected more than a scoop of meat and a pile of cabbage. The meat to cabbage ratio was way off. My guest had the Pan-Roasted Chilean Seabass with Fried Sage Brown-Butter, Blistered Tomatoes, Mashed Acorn Squash, and Chanterelle Mushrooms. The fish was actually pretty good and piping hot. Maybe my dinner was left in the window waiting for the fish to be cooked fresh and that's why mine was cold. While the fish was good, again, it was a really small portion for the cost. To keep from going to the concert still hungry, my guest and I ordered the Shaved Street Corn with Garlic Aioli, Queso Fresco, and Tajín. The street corn was better than both our dinners. The food is decent. When you come here, keep in mind that you're going for the water front views and atmosphere and you'll be okay. read more

I've been coming to this place for 5 or 6 years prior to COVID and they came back strong even after COVID. I enjoy the food and the vibe. The view of the Long Beach Harbor, the fire pit, and Queen Mary to your right all while you're enjoying your happy hour and not to mention the food which fits the name fuego meaning Fyah!!! And then drinks are always on fire as well. read more

Came for a friend's birthday as a party of 17. We had reservations @12:30. Firstly, here's the info: - They will validate for parking, and there's plenty. With validation you will be paying $3. - Everyone said their food was alright. - THE SUN, is so hot. I hope you don't get hit with it if you get seated outside, but if you are seated outside you get a decent view of Long Beach/Queen's Bay. There's also flies outside, but they do have fly swatter table fans. Bring/wear sunscreen incase. - Service is mixed. - Complementary chips and salsa. - There is live music outside (at least on Saturday ~12-3). Here's the experience we had: We were here for 3 hours. They initially seated us at a super sunny spot, literally half of us got sunburned. Thankfully, a large party table was freed next to us with more shade and they let us swap over. We also had some seating issues because of our large group, but we did make a reservation so they had a notice. The mixed service is what got me, I almost feel like they're playing good cop bad cop. Most servers were not having a good day, but not rude. Kayla was super helpful though and didn't make us feel bad for asking them to do their job. Thank you Kayla! Even then though, there were times where they had forgotten to bring us things. They brought out our friend's birthday dessert after our friend finished eating. It was nice! For the most part they had accommodated and did what we asked, but I would not choose to come back here. I wouldn't mind coming back if a friend really wanted to or if it was convenient, but it was nothing special for the price range. read more

There isn't that much of a selection but what they have is good literally everything that's on the menu. I had the ropa vieja beef dish and it was satisfactory according to the ambiance and price. The service was on point and they checked up on us enough. It was empty during our accountability meeting so we didn't experience the place in a busy setting. The selection could have been bigger and the pricing could've been lower but you get a nice place and good dishes. read more

A great find near the cruise terminal with outstanding service ( Thanks JR ) limited but adequate selection of brunch items and libations ! We would visit again ! Only downside traffic can be standstill on cruise days if you don't pay attention to your directions . The crab dip was the bomb! Great wine prices ! Validated parking ! read more

The food was ok, I got the milanesa w/cheese and onions, it was baked toooooo long so my milanesa was extra chewy My daughter got the same with no cheese, chewy as well. Son got the burger- very simple. The other two members got meat,they said it was good. Drinks were good, waiter was on point, the host in the front was not , seemed a lil lost and over whelmed read more

View is a 5, food and service are a 2. My family met here for brunch, and it was a bit disappointing. It was a nice, sunny day and the view of the harbor and downtown LB is very nice. However, the food was kind of average, maybe below average given the prices. The other bummer was the live band. I like live music, but I also like to be able to talk with each other. Three old guys playing classic rock covers at volume 11 killed the pleasant water vibes! read more

We ordered two eggs Benedicts and both were cold. The meat was missing from the Benedict. Once they brought it, The crispy pork belly was just desiccated. Way overpriced and comes with no sides just the Benedict. A sprite was $6. Service wasn't good. I can't believe what they charge for this place and quality. Views were nice though. read more

Found this gem when I was on a business trip and was able to get a great spot for my solo dinner. The service was top notch and tasty food too. Very unique spot inside a Botique hotel. Definitely try it out. read more

Fuego - Seaside dining - Mexican Near Me - Long Beach, California

We walked in as a group of young adults and the servers were immediately dismissive towards us. The service did not match the automatic 20% gratuity added to the bill. The servers were passive, empty plates were left on our table for an extended period of time, and they didn't check up on us after the food arrived. The food was quite average despite being on the pricier side. Wouldn't recommend or go back. read more

First, The views are absolutely amazing, you honestly can't beat sitting right at the water and enjoying a fabulous meal. The food was good, the plantains are a must. The Brussels sprouts are a close second, just be warned there is ALOT. The ceviche was decent, chips were fresh. Staff were very attentive and gave great recommendations. read more

Fuego was a disaster from the moment we walked in. Despite arriving 30 minutes after opening, the staff was still scrambling to set up. We weren't seated right away because the server was running around trying to prep the restaurant--completely unprepared to handle guests. Once seated, the service didn't get any better. Our server repeatedly told us to "just wait" while he ran around trying to find supplies. It felt like we were an inconvenience rather than paying customers. The food? $30 per person for cold, bland breakfast that tasted like it came from a box. Nothing fresh, nothing flavorful--just a complete waste of money. For a restaurant in a so-called luxury hotel, this place was embarrassingly bad. Save your time and money and eat literally anywhere else. read more

Gorgeous views of the water and the servers are all very friendly. All our food was good (yea, I can't help it, I always sample everyone's food) but it wasn't spectacular. The standout was the Ropa Vieja which had a nice smoky flavor. The seafood enchiladas had a very good sauce. We also had the guacamole dio, which was on the plain side. The salsa had a weird zing that I didn't care for. Surprised that they didn't have flan on their dessert menu, but we had the creme brule which was also average. The wine list was light, but they are known more for their margaritas, which were very good! We got a bonus animal show with our meal. There was a cute little raccoon climbing a cabana and jumping to a tree, then going back and forth precariously. If you stay at Hotel Maya, I think its worth it to try this place out, if for no other reason than the friendly servers, margaritas and the view. read more

You will come here for three things: the picturesque view, the strong margaritas, and the live music on the deck. Although pricey, you get what you pay for. Service was fast and friendly. Great place for a date or brunch! read more

I have been here twice now. Once for breakfast and this last time for lunch. The food is hearty and delicious. The menu seems small but also seems like there is a good array of choices. The staff here is very friendly and attentive in a genuine way. Multiple people passed by my table on both occasions to ensure I was not in need. This morning they readjusted an umbrella so I could be in the shade and I was eating alone. Both times I have been here it's has been work related and I have personally been in a rush. I would really like to come here and enjoy some of the delicious drink offerings and just enjoy the amazing view. Thank you Fuego! I'll be back. read more

There's indoor and outdoor seating. Can't go wrong either way!! Not sure if it was an off day but it took a while for the waiter to check on the table and was rarely asked if we wanted anything else. Outside of that, it's a great place to have views of the harbor over an intimate meal. read more

We had a 10:00 reservation, party of 8. The website says your time slot is for 2 hours. We all arrived at different times and no one said anything about time limits. Parking was $3 with validation. I had the shrimp enchilada for $32. It was ok, but $32 seems excessive. The service was a bit slow, but we were talking so much, it didn't really matter. It was a beautiful clear sunny day and we sat outside. Beautiful view of the beach and the Queen Mary. Breakfast buffet was $30. It was fine, but I think there may be better options in Long Beach. read more

Fuego - Spinach Mushroom Risotto - Mexican Near Me - Long Beach, California

We went there on October 11 for an early dinner because we read about how good it was. Positives were, of course, the view. It's a great location to see the Long Beach skyline and harbor, though it's not a great location as fast as getting there easily. The food was good but it's wasn't special. I ordered some street tacos that weren't anything more than what I usually get at lunch at a local taqueria for $2/each, and these 3 tacos were $18 and weren't that special. We had a party of 5 adults and a child and the bill was almost $400. Granted most we had drinks, but probably $100 or it were drinks. There weren't many choices on the menu and what was there wasn't that exciting or different. Many of the items were not offered or out. Like I said, it tasted good but it wasn't special, and it sure didn't equate to the price. If we were going to pay that much for what was offered we'd expect at least extraordinary service and great environment but it was lacking. It seems we got stuck in a restaurant that was mediocre and had hotel pricing since the guests would few choices to dine in that area. We live in Long Beach and would probably not go there again nor suggest it. There are far better restaurants in the city that are worth what you pay. read more

This is a really good place. It's a bit Boujie in the food, but hey, why not! It's a really nice date spot or girls night spot! Scenery is beautiful but remember it's on the water so depending on the time of year, it can be chilly. Servers were great and the drinks were potent! read more

The bill was 2,000. The service was terrible. I didn't even eat. The shrimp was discussing. The salad was gross. They should give more choices for big parties. I've been wanting to go to since Covid. The food was horrible. 17 people and one waitress. I was very disappointed. RIP maya read more

You obviously go to this place for the great view of the water. However, when it comes to the food, it's just ok. Not your traditional Mexican food restaurant. I had the Ropa Viejo which was shredded beef on crispy tortillas (tostada style). Unfortunately I had a big piece of fat on my portion which was gross and the meat was salt less with little flavor. I also tried the lemon blueberry pancakes. They looked great, but the masa flavor was a little overwhelming. The green salad was good. read more

This place is all about the view. Two stars for the food, 3 stars for the service, 2 stars for value and 5 stars for the view and surroundings. Great place for a date or on a beautiful day just taking in the majestic views. Off the beaten path in LB near the Queen Mary. A place to try once. Don't get the burger. Way over cooked and the fries while abundant were almost room temperature. The various salads were acceptable but nothing special. Btw they automatically add a 20% tip to your bill so pay attention to that. I'm generally a 25% tipper unless service is 5 star so you can see how many one star service experiences are mentioned here. read more
