Red Fuego I visited…read moreRed Fuego at Traverse Mountain after hearing several good recommendations, so I arrived with fairly high expectations. When I got there, the restaurant was clean and well organized, and there were not many customers at the time, which made the atmosphere feel calm and relaxed. The service was average. It wasn't unfriendly, but it also wasn't particularly warm or memorable. I ordered the arroz chaufa, and in terms of flavor I have to say it was very tasty. The rice itself had great seasoning and a really nice flavor. However, the dish was a bit disappointing because it was almost entirely rice--the chicken was practically nonexistent. For a dish like this, you expect a better balance of ingredients, and unfortunately the main protein was missing. Sadly, this made the overall experience not the best, especially considering the positive recommendations I had heard before visiting. I hope they can improve the consistency of their dishes and the proportion of ingredients, because the flavor of the rice shows that the kitchen has the potential to deliver a much better experience.

Beware of this restaurant, extremely dishonest management…read more The management at this location deserves zero stars. If you are using a coupon, be prepared to be misled and treated poorly. We used a Starving Student coupon before at the Provo location without any issues. This time, we used the same coupon at the Orem location. The deal clearly states Buy 1 entrée, get 1 free (saving $17.99), as shown in the screenshots. We ordered two half-chicken entrées. The cashier scanned the coupon, charged us, and told us the wait time would be about 20 minutes. At no point were we told there were any restrictions. After waiting 20 minutes, the cashier brought out the food and then informed us that "the boss's mom said" that because we used a coupon, we were only allowed ¼ chicken, not half. This was never disclosed when we ordered, and directly contradicts both the coupon and our previous experience at the Provo location. We were told this was a "new rule." This is misleading, dishonest, and false advertising. I asked to speak directly with the boss's mom, but she refused to come out and instead hid in the kitchen, sending the employee to act as a mediator. We were then told she "doesn't speak English." Ironically, my husband speaks Spanish and suddenly she was "too busy" to speak to us at all. This is an unacceptable way to treat customers. The cashier at the front was the only helpful and professional person there. She even disagreed with the situation, but could not approve a refund without a manager. She had to call twice before we finally received our refund. Bottom line: If you don't want to honor a deal, don't offer it. This is false advertising and completely unethical. Hiding in the kitchen instead of addressing customers is unprofessional and embarrassing for a business. This restaurant should either honor the Starving Student deal as advertised or remove it entirely. I'm posting this so others don't go through the same experience. I will not support a business that operates like this. This review will also be sent directly to the restaurant's management team and to Starving Student's management.

Stopped here for a quick lunch. Turned out it was brand new. The lady spoke some (not much)…read moreEnglish. I got excited because Google maps had "Conchas de asado" but it wasn't on the marquis over the cash register. I don't think they had menus. Anyway I ordered it without even knowing the price and it was $37 which shocked me because the other dishes were all reasonably priced. Also I wanted water but they didn't have tap water (!) only bottled. Also meal took a LONG time to come - like 15-20 minutes. For a tiny hole in the wall, that's a lot. So those are the bad things. On to the good. The Conchas were baked clams on the half shell and it was a super generous portion - at least 8 good-sized clams. It included a gigantic flavorful fried rice portion that had oysters, more clams, and Lord knows what (all tasty, if you like shellfish). There was also a little bit of avocados, cucumbers, & pickled onions, which I topped my clams with. Finally there were six good-sized disks of fried sweet plantains. It was a mountain of food that of course I couldn't finish, so really it was only about $18 a meal, and both big meals (even after splitting it). So price not bad. Fresh baked seafood for that price made my day. I'm sure the minor issues I had will be rapidly fixed as the restaurant gains more experience.

The bread was so soft with some nicely toasted parts. The churresco is quite sizable - definitely got me very full and satisfied. I never had a circle sandwich before so it was a fun new thing to try! As a side order, I got fried plantains which were yummy! Great palette cleanser - they have just the right amount of sweetness to them. The food came out fairly quick and the server/cashier was kind and attentive. Even though he was also the cashier, he took the time to come to my table to see if I needed anything else :) The place is nice and clean. It had some pictures of Chile on the walls. I will be sure to return!

The flavors were perfect, the vegetables were well cooked and bright in color, the fries were good, and the rice was delicious. The only problem was that the meat was really tough, like, hurt my jaw to chew, tough. My husband had the 1/4 pollo a la brasa. It was well cooked, still moist, and well seasoned. The fries were pretty limp though. I ordered a side of fried ripe plantains and they were delicious. They were perfectly ripe and cooked all the way through with the right caramelization. Service was really lacking. They have "Help Wanted" signs and they really needed the help. It took about 20 minutes to get the entres and another 10-15 minutes to get the plantains and drinks. The floor and the tables were dirty. Hopefully they'll be able to hire help soon.

I will say, there is a language barrier between the staff and I. That's okay - they were still great and served up fantastic food! The main dish was a lot of meat stuffed between 2 fried plantains. I'm a sucker for plantains. Literally, it was a MOUNTAIN of meat so I recommend sharing. You can choose up to 2 different types of protein; I went with chicken and grilled steak. There was also a slice of ham and cheese in there. I asked for sauce on the side. As a starter, I had (again, not sure what the name is of the item) fried dough with shredded chicken inside. Really yum! One of the sauces I enjoyed a lot was this maiz/corn sauce! I need to go back and buy a bottle, which they do sell! At the front of their store, they have a rack selling some Venezuelan goodies. The store itself had a nice authentic low key vibe. I'll return, but will for sure bring a buddy to help me finish everything!
