    Medium margaritas
    Jennifer D.

    Excellent! From the moment we walked in to the time we left! You immediately felt as if you were home, all staff friendly and welcoming. It is a small place and very busy but very well run. The margaritas were some of the BEST I have every had--you must try!!! I ordered the taquitos and my partner ordered the special dinner which was huge. Taquitos were good, only thing that was off is they laid them in cheese sauce which made them a bit soggy but at least the taste was great! Chips and salsa were fantastic. I'm so happy we tried this place and would definitely come back again and again!

    Server with many plates of delicious food

    OMG!!!! First I'll start with the service: These folks felt like family! The hostess was not in a hurry to run to her duties.She answered questions with details! The founder, her dad, came around and visited at length with everyone! He (Amilio, if I remember correctly) and my husband exchanged hugs when we left! The waiter was just as friendly and very good at his job! Now for the food: Everything was delicious. We had a smorgasbord of enchiladas, tacos, grilled jalapeños, tostaguac, and chili relenos (sp?). Everything single thing was amazing! So glad we came!

    The large (think Gimourmous!) and Small!  Yum!

    A 5 for the drinks, a 3 for the food. First, the food. It's ok. Nothing too exciting, nothing really wrong - just standard American-Mex quality and quantity. So if you're good with that - you'll rate it higher than I did. Ambiance is also standard American-Mex. But... the margarita's are excellent. Really really good. Which is why they get our food business! They also have small - medium (which we would consider 'normal') and large (which we would consider (ginormous). See pic - mine is the small, hubs is the large- which he came nowhere close to finishing. Obligatory chips and salsa were served promptly and kept full. Service was spot on and very friendly. For local Mexican, we're pleased and will return.

    The food is delicious and there is plenty of it! I got the chicken burrito this past time and it was great. The margaritas are huge and the Large you can definitely share. The staff is very interactive and will chat with you:) love going here every time I'm in Maggie Valley.

    The interior is pretty simple and no-frills, nothing that screams "destination dining." But the…read moremoment the food hits the table, none of that matters. I ordered the hot honey chicken tacos (with grilled chicken), and they absolutely delivered. The flavor balance was spot-on--sweet, savory, and just enough heat to keep things interesting without overpowering the dish. Every bite felt intentional and well-executed. The wait staff were also genuinely friendly and attentive, which made the whole experience even better. This is one of those places where the kitchen is clearly the focus, and it shows. If you care more about what's on your plate than what's on the walls, Fuego is 100% worth a visit. I'll definitely be back.

    Like many others, we stayed in Lake Junaluska for a week on vacation. We were initially going to go…read moresomewhere else but the wait was too long so we came here. When we called, we were told no wait which was both a huge green flag but also a red flag.. we came here and are so glad we did! (Later on I overhead they had a wait because the kitchen started to back up, so we just got lucky!). This place is pretty tiny, but our party of 6 was promptly seated. They serve a pretty decent selection of beers as well as THC beverages (not for me). They have a wide variety of food available. I got the Nashville Honey Hot chicken tacos. I usually NEVER get chicken tacos because I think that they're dry and inferior to beef -- but I was intrigued. These were the best chicken tacos I have ever had in my life. Full stop. Need the recipe. Got it with an Apple and Daikon salad which was good. Rest of the party got an assortment of chicken, fish and Bang Bang shrimp but I only had eyes for those chicken tacos. One member of our party thought the fish he had been served was not red snapper but another variety such as tilapia -- he's a fishing guide down in Florida so I will deferred to him, but if there was some tom foolery with fish its hard to tell if it was the restaurant's fault or the supply chain -- he said it was good either way. Street corn was good, pork bowl was outstanding, fried okra good etc. My Mom insisted on paying when the time came and accidentally forgot her card at the restaurant. We called the restaurant at 11pm, we'll past closing and someone answered. When we told them we needed to come pick it up because they were closed Monday when my Mom flew out, they said it was fine to come pick it up. The owner walked her card out to us (apparently she also cooks and helps clean up; a great owner operator!). Great experience, would go back again. Great food, good people.
