Listen I understand that we are just re opening after being on a pandemic locked down. I get it. Their guidelines for social distancing are spot on. They're on top of their stuff. Now, that's probably the only reason why I can give them a one star otherwise it would be a negative. I am so embarrassed with my Dad and husband because I chose this place for their Father's Day dinner. I feel so bad! There was nothing especial, I felt like I just paid $130 for just the view. We ordered two appetizers, it's a 1/4 of a corn on a Cobb. My dad got the Father's Day especial, and it was as good as the hospital food for a dinner plate. My brother and husband ordered the Mayan burger with fries. Don't bother, you can make these patties at home. Now my dinner, this is where I completely lost it. I ordered the Ropa vieja $33, when our food arrived and I got my plate I immediately asked the server of this was the $33 plate I ordered lol I was thinking out loud! That's how shocked I was that I blurted it out! I didn't want to be rude but my plate looked like a happy hour plate two crunchy tortillas thin layer of black beans and the shredded beef on top with cabbage and two plantains. I know the server communicated to his manager and she did stop by but I was honestly more embarrassed and at the moment... I just wanted the dinner to end to we can leave. But sure enough they started closing up while we were still there. They did give us. 10% but $13 off was not even close to the embarrassment and disappointment of Fuego kitchen. There's nothing Fuego about their menu. read more

Decided to go back to a spot my wife and I frequented this past Saturday afternoon. What happened to this once gem of a place? The vibe is gone. The bar service was the big turn off. Albeit the drinks were good but watching the bartender pick up tray after tray of dirty glassware instead of making us wait for cocktails is poor service. We ordered the ropa vieja, and the spices for the dish were not there. - all I tasted was cloves, under seasoned and clove forward, not a place we will be going back to anytime soon. read more

Found this place on TravelZoo and bought a voucher and so glad I did! I had no idea this place was in LB! The outside is beautiful, great views, and comfortable. The service was great, tried the calamari (delicious) and the seafood enchilada which was filled with tasty shrimp and crab (the sauce on it was also delicious) so was very happy with our food choices. Drinks were refreshing and definitely need to come back to try more items on the menu! (Will try more food and give another review to see if I can make it 5 stars) read more

I had a dinner reservation here for a party of 15. It was the first time any of us had ever been here. The restaurant is located inside the Maya hotel right by the Reef. The bar is a bit small but the restaurant itself was admirable. Such a beautiful view of the waters of Long Beach! This is a pleasant restaurant for both day and night. Fires are set up at night and it seemed more romantic. Service was great! Our server Roberto never forgot about us and constantly made sure each of us were perfectly satisfied. As for the food, each of us were impressed with our entrees. I was not expecting the food to be that amazing! It's usually not that simple to give great Mexican food to a table full of Mexicans! I was so relieved everyone loved their food..there were no leftovers to take home!! I would recommend any of the meat entrees as they were all amazing! The tender meats just melt in your mouth. I would NOT recommend the ceviche, however. The drinks could use some work-- But the bartender was new so let's give it the benefit of the doubt and say the drinks will be better next time. In conclusion, we all loved the restaurant and plan on coming back!:) read more

Brunch with a view what more can u ask for. Staff friendly and food was good . $45 for brunch, u get to select a entree and have unlimited salad, ceviche, and taco bar and comes with a mimosa or pay a upcharge and have unlimited mimosas. They have a salmon taco that was to die for. All in all a great day and great brunch. Suggestions make sure to make reservation. It gets busy. Brunch hours 11 am til 2pm. Located at hotel Maya they have self parking or valet parking. I will be back for dinner or lunch to see what else the tasty menu has to offer read more

This place is in incredibly challenging to get to, took me 45 min to find it and several people in our party also got lost

Service was good. View was excellent But the $19 calamari was horrible! Served cold and the crispy coating didn't stay on the calamari! My husband enjoyed his shrimp ceviche. read more

We went on our first cruise and left out of Long Beach, so we arrived a day early and stayed at the Hotel Maya and ate at Fuego for lunch and breakfast. We LOVED it. The atmosphere was fun and exciting. All the waitstaff including the bartenders were cool and attentive. We all had different dishes for lunch that included carne asada tacos, shrip enchiladas, the cubano sandwhich, chicken tacos, guacamole, and chicharron fries. Seriously...everything was delicious. It was a great way to kick off our vacation. We will definately come back when we are in Long Beach! read more

Beautiful view and good food. Surprise dinner for my husband and it did not disappoint. Great margaritas, good food, and good service! Definitely worth the visit...just make reservations on the weekend read more

We had dinner here last night. The ambiance is cool. They have fire towers AND BLANKETS outside for when it's cold, the staff are super friendly and helpful. My husband got the lamb last night and we were not impressed. But the manager took it off of our bill and had dessert delivered to our room for free. So, win win. read more

Great food, great atmosphere and great service! We were thoroughly impressed with Fuego, and while I usually avoid restaurant hotels, I'm glad I took the chance on this place! We went for happy hour, but ate a full meal including drinks. We ordered the beef churrascos, and the flavor was overwhelmingly delicious! The macaroni and cheese was far from ordinary, and was very full of flavor. William, our server, went out of his way to make our dinner great, by taking our picture, bringing our own heater (it got chilly in the shade!) and checking on us often. Lastly, the view is extraordinary and contributed to a romantic experience! read more

Although the view at this restaurant was amazing, the food was equally terrible. The server was rude and wasn't insight at all, when I asked if I can sub something on my dish she said yes, then completely changed my order for it to come out with it in the side. Do not recommend, maybe for drinks just to enjoy the ambience but not the food or service. read more

The view is amazing. Eat on the patio if you go. The menu is over priced. I ordered the Serrano scallops. Came on a bed of .33 cent ramen package with some corn and 3 scallops for $40. A little overpriced. The ramen was crunchy and kinda hard around the edges, the dish had some heat and kick but not worth the $40 for the plate. A group of 6 our bill came to $487 with one round of drinks. My drink was strong and yummy! Service was mediocre and they don't accommodate menu changes, so what you see is what you get. I'm glad I came and checked it out for myself, but more than likely won't be returning. The two stars is for the view since they are on the water across from Queen Mary! read more

I chose this restaurant to celebrate our anniversary. What a disappointment?! The only thing Fuego is the view. Their IG is a faćade. The drinks always look delicious on IG. Our drinks were lack luster with no garnish whatsoever. My spicy margarita was really spicy (and I like spicy but this was almost unbearabl). I told the waitress and she just shrugged. We asked for water and were told because of COVID they only offer bottled water at $3 each. I ordered the seafood enchiladas which turned out to be $15 each. The filet mignon was the most decent item but we asked for it medium and it came out more well done. Definitely do not recommend. read more

This restaurant was so delicious and the view made it perfect! Such a great place to dine out when you are needing a fresh ambiance and food that is affordable. I would come back for sunset and to try more of their food in the future! read more

Great atmosphere, great ambiance, great service great calamari, stiff Margaritas and just an overall good place to lounge. Not much more you can ask for. They also have fire pits and a hookah tent. It's a bit pricey, and a bit off the beaten path, but worth a visit on a warm day. read more

Show me some Fuego and I'll show you a good time! My Wife and I came here on Valentines day, ok, I dragged her here, but the point is, we both were there, by choice or not, and enjoyed the sights and sounds. And they are a-plenty. Been back several times too with the 'Rents. Awesome view of the Queen if you are there during the day and the city and bridge lights cant be beat. Everything pretty much worked as planned. They had our reservation, brought us extra heaters for when it got cold without asking, service was relaxed and personal and food was Actually quite good for being a Double Tree Restaurant. The best part, and now is this not the best part for anything, but FREE COOKIES! (but only if you ask, and you didnt hear it from me) Yeah, its pricey, so it doesn't so its a solid 4 and not even a 4.5, but the food is good. 3.5 out of 5 on the creativity scale. Dont forget the libations (and your valet card) read more

Awesome dinning experience on the long beach waterfront facing long beach from the water. I went here for brunch with my wife and her friend. Fantabulous!!!!

Fuego exceeded my expectations when I had my family & close friends meet at the restaurant for brunch after my husband & I eloped. Majority of us were late for our reservations & Holly was absolutely accommodating to me & my family. I am truly so grateful to have worked with Holly & her team for my special day. I could not be more pleased with how amazing the service, food, & drinks were. The Fuego team really helped make our big day even better than expected! read more

This place is tucked away inside the Maya hotel but what a great spot. I would come here for the views and ambience alone. Food was good and the drinks were even better. Definitely a must try. read more

I should've listened to all the bad reviews. Outside of the view everything we had here was disgusting. We ordered the margarita and Paloma and they were both nasty did not even take another sip. The guacamole tasted like something you'd get out of a box at a grocery store. Chips were very stale. We got a quesadilla and it was not good either. Will not be back read more

Great location. The shaded patio overlooks the water with a great view of the Queen Mary and Shoreline Village. Service was really lacking. There was a lot of movement from the waitstaff but not a lot happening. We waited 20 minutes before our order was taken. No one stopped by to refill coffee once. We happened to be seated at a table with the sun beating down on us and asked the waiter to move to an empty table right next to us with shade. The request seemed to frazzle our waiter who requested that we check with the hostess. When we asked the hostess she appeared stressed about the request, told us that she would get back to us but never did. We ultimately asked another server who said that he didn't think it was a problem and moved us. Food was subpar than expected. Hash browns were greasy and soft. I ordered the eggs Benedict "Fuego Style" and the poached eggs were essentially hard boiled. Overall disappointing. read more

The coolest spot but the current gm or person running the floor (a lady) is so bossy. Let me tell you this SUPER KAREN. I'm sorry not trying to offend anyone or any cool Karens. But shes super starring at each family and what there doing and such. It feels so unwelcoming. read more

Nice scenic place to eat. Went here with my husband and had the queso which was delicious, my husband had a burger which he thought was ok and I had ropa vieja and that was very flavorful. Drinks were okay but their creme brûlée was so good my husband really enjoyed it and he can be picky...the service was excellent. Our server was very attentive and Holly the manager went around to different tables to assure everyone's dining experience was great. read more

Great restaurant ambience. Beautiful setting right on the water. Definitely make a reservation and sit on the patio. It's not cheap. Appetizers are like regular entree prices. Entrees are even higher priced so don't be surprised. You've been warned. But the food is very tasty. Menu is not that extensive. We actually ate here two days in a row. We ordered the quesadilla appetizer which I enjoyed but the hubby said it was too meaty. The shrimp and lobster enchiladas were excellent but do not come with any sides which was disappointing. The burger and fries were good. Try to come for lunch and select the trio of chicken tacos. Very good but small and the price was reasonable. Chips, salsa, and freshly made guacamole were also a great choice. Specialty drinks were good too. Definitely plan on returning to try the crab cakes and enchiladas. read more

My family and I had a really nice brunch on Valentine's Day. We didn't have reservations, waited about 30 minutes to be seated which is great being that it's a holiday and they were booked. Service was wonderful, drinks were great, atmosphere was lovely and the food was amazing! We had their barbacoa tacos and their ropa vieja chilaquiles....so good! Definitely coming back! read more

Live locally have been here before and it was good. Today however came here for MY birthday dinner. Started out fine had the queso which was good. Then took us asking the server over 25mins later if we could place our dinner order. I had the shrimp dinner suggested by the waitress between the options I was asking about. It had 5 overcooked shrimp on a huge bed of Brussels sprouts and cauliflower. That was the full dinner. The sauce was good but shrimp on a huge bed of Brussels sprouts? Way too many should only be a side. My husband ordered the pollo de la plancha and was also not impressed. He said it was good just super bland. But liked the rice mixture. But also didn't come with the mentioned shiitake mushrooms either. We hardly ate our dinners. Again nobody came to check on us. The table runner was the only one filling up our waters and also asked us if we needed to go boxes. He deserved a tip for sure. Finally was able to flag down the waitress and asked for our check. Husband went to the restroom but left his card to pay. The manager or assistant manager(Indian guy I believe longer white hair with floral button up) rushed over with our check and was like this is yours right, right? I said it's my husband card who's in the restroom. Practically forced the pen in my hand was like you just want me to charge it to your room!? I said no we live local we aren't staying here and was standing there waiting on me to sign a check for a card that wasn't mine. So I said I get it your trying to rush us out of here (it was definitely getting busy) and he had the audacity to say YES! and walks away. So I signed the check and just left the table met my husband by the restrooms. I liked the last few times we came here but this time was just a whole new experience. It's just worth going somewhere else next time if you're local. There are way better places. Spending over $100 for a meal I wouldn't expect the rudeness from a manager/assistant manager of all people. Won't be back again. I get they are busy because they are also a hotel and aren't used to seeing the same guest again. But wow just baffling. If you do go here I'd suggest the seafood enchiladas last time I had these it was so good. FYI. read more

Before going to Fuego, I did not read any reviews on Yelp, so this is totally unbiased and based on my first time experience. I came here for lunch today with a friend, just to catch up with life, eat, and have a good time. Which we did. With validation, our parking only cost $2. And our waitress made sure to ask us for our parking ticket to validate before we left. Our waitress was so nice! And very accommodating. As soon as we entered, we were greeted by workers and was immediately seated. It was nice, they were friendly and we felt welcome. Being my first time, the view and place is amazing. Especially going during today's hot weather, just viewing the harbor and sitting outdoors with the breeze was nice. The place is really pretty! We immediately received our menus and was asked for our drink orders. Our waitress always checked up on us to see if we ready to order our appetizers and entrees and took care of us the entire time. The only time we ever had to look for her was when we asked her to take a photo of us haha. And she was more than happy to. I absolutely love food and I'm not a picky eater. We ordered the islander ceviche which tasted like poke. We enjoyed eating it with the plantain chips. My friend ordered the chicken lime fuego enchilada and I had the ahi tuna salad. We both thought they were delicious. Our waitress always made sure our glasses were full and would make sure that everything was okay. The ambience, view, setting, and experience was 5 stars. The only reason why Id have to take off one star is because there were 2 flies that kept hovering around us and our food. But then again, it was outdoor seating. Hope your experience at Fuego will be just as nice as ours was! read more

I went with some friends on Friday for lunch. Took forever to get a server. Chips were brought in a paper bag. Asked for salt to add to my bland meal and it never came. Asked for a refill on our waters and they never came back. Then asks for coffee after our meal and it took 20 minutes only to be served in paper cups. Asked why and the server said I will be back to explain why. He came back with the bill which he threw on our table and left. Our meal did not come with any rice or beans just the enchiladas and that's it. Needless to say the services was horrible.....luckily our view and my company was great but will never return or recommend it to any of my family or friends. read more

Great food, from the hor d'oeuvres, to my perfect steak to desserts and yummy drinks. We had a large party and the service was fast and very accommodating. Beautiful view from the deck patio with a rainbow included. Perfect place for a date or special occasion. We'll be back! read more

Asked for a medium done burger it was burnt, with enough lettuce to make a salad, service was fair

It wasn't just the 5 star reviews of the food that drew us to Fuego. The atmosphere was incredible too. This restaurant is actually part of Hotel Maya, a great hotel option in Long Beach. It overlooks the water and the historical Queen Mary. We went here for dinner and decided to try the menu tapas style. We ordered the Fuego Margaritas (of course), Choriqueso, Maya Beef Quesadilla (pictured above), chips & salsa, guacamole, Shaved Street Corn, Grilled Lamb Chops, and the Mayan Legend for dessert. read more
