I came to Maya Fuego on a packed Friday night, and when I say packed, I mean packed to the brim. It was a beautiful hot summer evening, the view was amazing, and I came solo because apparently no one wanted to have a steak with me . I was honestly pretty disappointed when I was told I wouldn't be able to wait for an outside table. Then Michael came through. He noticed I was by myself and saw an opportunity to fit me into a spot outside next to the band that apparently nobody else wanted. Since I was solo, he made it happen -- and that small gesture completely made my experience. That's what great hospitality is about. When there's an opportunity to make a customer happy without negatively affecting anyone else, you make it happen. Michael could have easily just left things as they were, but instead he paid attention, found a solution, and turned what started as a disappointing situation into an amazing Friday night. Sitting outside next to the band with the summer weather and the view ended up being exactly the experience I was hoping for. Michael, thank you so much. I genuinely appreciate what you did for me. Maya Fuego, this is most definitely the type of employee you want to keep around. Someone who sees an opportunity to make a guest's night better and actually takes it. Thank you again, Michael.

Fuego has really upped its game since I last came several years ago! The space has been beautifully upgraded with a lovely lounge+beachy+ earthy decor. The patio is perfect for views and catching a breeze. While not a lot of selections for vegetarians, I did really enjoy the mushroom tacos. Cocktails were also well made. There was a great jazz band playing on the patio on Friday night. Even though there was a good crowd, the overall scene remained really relaxing and made for a perfect evening. Overall I'd highly recommend for the fantastic views, solid food and drinks, and excellent service- Laura was so friendly and helpful, and manager Michael was lovely and welcoming. You can get validated parking.

Parking is way too expensive. At one hr, your are ar 30$ and after 2 hrs you are at 50$ definitely no choice...so Uber or carpool. The menu is super limited, and i mean limited! 6 plates and 4 appetizers and a huge list of drinks. My family was very limited in what we ould be dining... prices are high. Ambiance was good, people were nice and dressed nicely. Staff was friendly - sofas near waterline somewhat dirty . Would have preferred better sofa cleanliness. The Ambiance was great scenery was very nice. Beyond, there are so many other options... next time I would just visit the queen Mary for all this time and it would have been cheaper better and more basically stunning. So if you ho here, go here because you have a hotel reservation... beyond that, definitely not worth the time nor energy max score 2.5 and thats because the scenery was very nice.

I was looking forward to trying Fuego because I wanted something different with a nice ocean view. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to have the full experience since the restaurant was doing a photo shoot while I was there, which made the atmosphere feel a little off. The ocean views are definitely beautiful and probably the highlight of the visit. The drinks were good, but nothing that really stood out. Based on the photos online, I expected a more exciting menu, but I ended up feeling a bit underwhelmed. I skipped ordering an entrée because the menu wasn't what I expected. Instead, I ordered a few appetizers, and they were pretty simple and lacked much flavor. The service was good, and the staff was friendly. It looked like there were only a couple of servers working, so I don't think the slower pace was their fault. Overall, I'd recommend Fuego if you're looking to grab a few beers, enjoy some appetizers, and relax with a great ocean view. If you're going mainly for the food, your experience may be different, but it didn't quite meet my expectations.

Fuego is Hotel Maya's restaurant. This review is for the cafe portion of the restaurant, which is the only part that is open early in the day. For the rest of the restaurant (which opens at 11am and offers a more extensive menu) I defer to other reviews. My family and I stayed in the hotel over the weekend and on an early Sunday morning (around 10am) I brought the kids here to give mom some much needed rest. I was immediately struck by the beautiful view - overlooking the Queensway Bay and the Long Beach waterfront. The restaurant is breezy, clean, and open, resembling a Mexican / Central American beach resort that the hotel themes itself around. I was quite surprised, however, to see a very abbreviated, expensive menu even at 10am, and the hardworking, amicable staff pulling small items from the refrigerator and heating them in a toaster oven. The overall picture was highly reminiscent of Starbucks, but with marginally higher quality and three times the price. I asked if anything was available that was made fresh, and the staff pointed out the main restaurant wouldn't open until 11am. We ordered the croissant sandwich ($18) and country toast ($13), and after 15 minutes for the sandwich and 25 minutes for the toast they arrived. While good, the croissant sandwich was definitely reheated, likely assembled from a number of components from a Sodexho catalog, the sausage patty definitely not homemade, and the egg a pre-made disc. No shells were cracked in the making of this one. The toast was attractive enough, but was not really toast at all - just bread with cheese and jam on top. It was good, but nothing extraordinary. While I'm deducting a point for the very long wait time for such simple, assembled food to reach us, the staff was excellent. They enjoyed greeting and playing with the children, helped with the stroller, and offered us a chocolate milk gratis after noting how long we were waiting for our simple order (with my children complaining about how famished they were). It's likely the lack of any competition in the area that keeps prices high and food quality low, but I can't help but think that some simple managerial decisions on hours and prices would make things much better. Despite fantastic staff I can't recommend Fuego's cafe. Perhaps the main restaurant would be better for a proper breakfast, but on a Sunday morning I'd expect it to open sooner. While the view is excellent, with middling food analogous to Starbucks and markedly elevated prices, if you're at the Maya I recommend you sleep in, or, better, hop across the Bay for superior options. Food: 3/5 Service: 4/5 Ambiance: 4.5/5 Value: 2/5

The view here is definitely 5 stars! Really nice atmosphere and a great spot to sit back and enjoy the scenery. The food was just okay, probably 3 stars at best. Nothing bad, but nothing that really stood out either. I'd come back for the view more than the food.

Today was a fail in so many ways. Let me start by saying that I've been here several times and all other times were great. Today however was a true disappointment! First I'll start with decor, they have updated the decor and it looks amazing! I loved the decor. Service was great ! I won't complain about that at all. The drinks were also fantastic, but very expensive! Food was just horrible!! The menu has very limited options. You either got a taco plate or some poke nachos. We came here for my in laws birthday. He was the only one who was happy with his meal. I got poke nachos with tuna that was chopped so small you tasted more chips than anything. There were 7 of us. 1 out of 7 is not ok. We did speak to the manager and he was great help. He did comp some items which we obviously appreciated it. I personally won't be back. Please note that the menu and food pictures attached to this app are no longer available. Food is not was it used to be. You'll leave dissatisfied if you dine here. 2 stars rating due to management and service . Otherwise it would have been 0

Second time come in here for dinner and the view is really nice. This place is on the upper side of pricey. And the menu is not that Big. But the food is OK. My only knock on this place is the seating. If you're planning out having dinner they will try to sit you on the fire pit, which is not a good place to have dinner. Just giving you a heads up. The House will try to sit here. Just talk to the servers and they will accommodate you better than he does.

Fuego ambience was nice however the food was underwhelming and over priced and they automatically add 20% "service charge" for food and drinks. Service was nice and drinks were good but I won't be back

WILL AND ALEX!!!!!! FUEGO! If you're looking for some good drinks, a nice warm vibe, beautiful ambience and two great bartenders taking care of you, Pull up to Fuego!

Party of 3... 20% gratuity added?

Long Beach is packed with incredible restaurants. Somehow, for my friend's birthday, we managed to find a dud. We made a reservation, mentioned on the phone that it was a birthday, and reminded them again when we arrived. They seated us, handed us... one menu for the table, and left us to contemplate our life choices. About 30 minutes later after we started wondering if our server had transferred to another restaurant, I had to track down a manager just to get someone to greet us. To his credit, he apologized and comped our first round of drinks and an appetizer, which was appreciated. Unfortunately that was the only redeemable detail of this whole experience. . The menu was surprisingly limited and they were already out of the ceviche. The ocean view? Gorgeous. The service? More elusive than Ted Cruz during state emergencies. Our cocktails were around $20 each and served in plastic cups. I kept waiting for someone to tell me the real glasses were coming. They weren't. The appetizers finally arrived, and then... silence. Another 30 minutes passed and no one had checked on us. Once again, I had to flag someone down just to order another round because apparently making eye contact was the restaurant's version of table service. The food itself wasn't worth the wait. The nachos genuinely reminded me of Taco Bell not as an insult to Taco Bell, which at least knows exactly what it is. The calamari was actually decent, but it couldn't carry the rest of the meal. We were on our way to the Lil Wayne concert at the amphitheater afterward, so abandoning ship wasn't really an option. By the time we finished even after they comped an appetizer and our first round, two more appetizers and three cocktails still came to $127. We asked them to validate our parking. They took the ticket, came back and told us it was validated. We pulled out of the parking lot.. and still got charged $45. The concert which unlike dinner was awesome. Long Beach has too many fantastic restaurants to spend your money here. I'd happily come back for the view. I'd just eat literally anywhere else first. We'll call it even since my bestie puked all over their parking lot upon our departure. Did ya'll know cutwaters were so lethal? TF. Ps.. party of 3 and they added a required 20% gratuity???

I have been here several times, including staying at the hotel 2x during the pandemic. I have never eaten anything that wasn't delicious. The atmosphere is amazing - gorgeous water views. The property theme is well represented throughout, including at Fuego. The service is always friendly and professional but sometimes a little slow. I haven't ever had it be unacceptably slow, though, just laid back. I will continue to frequent even when not staying at the hotel. Totally recommend!

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!

The leche de tigre provided this lovely heat in the dish which complimented the coldness of the entire dish itself. If this came in a large portion, I'd order it. For the entree, we ordered a Lomito Saltado to share. While the entree was good, I was hoping for a little more tomatoes and a little less onions. Other than that, the tenderloin was cooked nicely. As with a lot of things in society right now, I felt the menu was quite pricey. If that's not an issue, then I'd recommend this cute little restaurant. Next time, I'd love to try the Steak a lo Pobre with the chimichurri!

So this is a review of their happy hour, specifically, which is pretty solid, especially as far as…read moredrinks. I'd actually been here once before, quite some time, also at happy hour, but never got around to writing a review before it stopped feeling relevant. About a month ago, I had a reason to be in the area during happy hour again, so I decided to stop and try their burger. The burger is solid, though by itself, I'm not sure it's 13 bucks without fries level good. It's a good burger, and the fried mustard is great, but I didn't really taste any (advertised) plantain, nor whatever "chlorophyll aioli" is. As plated, it's like a 4/5 burger, compared to, for instance, my favorite burger place, Sideburns. It's also the first burger that seemed specifically *designed* to be eaten with a knife and fork, which on one hand really feels, in some way, to defeat the purpose of a burger... on the other hand, if you like spicy hot sauces, the extra star is for their house hot sauces, which I absolutely immediately used all three of to make a fantastic basically smash-burger ahogada. I'm pretty sure this is also the first sit-down restaurant where they just gave me sides of all their house hot sauces by default when the burger arrived, without having to ask for it, which is pretty cool of them. Their hot sauces are extremely good, all three of them. As a hot sauce lover - I would've loved more of all of them. I was there during a less busy time, obviously, and sat at the bar, so that says less, but anyway, the service was great (was great the previous time like a year ago, too.) I sat down at 5:45 (happy hour is until 6), had a food and drink order in at 5:50, burger showed at 6. (Got a second drink order in right at 6 on the dot too, of course.) There's a second add-on special for a boilermaker if you get the burger, so obviously I did that - I love that it features South American products, an aguardiente and a South American beer (I also like that that it means it's not a boring American macro beer, of course.) I also had the lulo margarita, $10 on happy hour, and great. I love learning about new (to me) fruits you don't see often around here, too. Delicious, though fun fact, it was even more delicious after I added a bunch of the lightest, creamiest hot sauce to it, lol. A non-canon modification that, conveniently, didn't require the bartender's assistance, and which I definitely intend to repeat if I'm ever back there (this is also a note to myself). It is always a tough sell when I'm in the area, just because it's across town, Bamboo Club is around the corner, and I love Bamboo Club, but anyway, Selva is also solid too, especially during happy hour.

There is real intention behind the food here. I've worked my way through the entire menu, and what continues to impress me is not just the creativity, but the consistency. The flavors are bold and distinctive without feeling forced, and the dishes have the kind of personality that makes a restaurant memorable rather than simply good. Chef Carlos is an exceptional talent. His cooking feels confident, thoughtful, and completely its own. Selva has a clear point of view, something that is surprisingly difficult to find even in cities with strong food scenes. The hospitality deserves equal credit. Jack and Chris are a dynamic duo and have an instinct for making the room feel warm, personal, and effortless. Great restaurants are about more than what arrives on the plate, and they understand that completely. After eating at an enormous number of restaurants across Long Beach, Selva is still the place I find myself recommending first. For me, it is the best restaurant in the city.
