Terrible service! Their To go app lies don't go off of those times... girl up front is super entitled.. more worried about sipping on her drink than checking if my order is ready when it's been 20 min past when it said it was due.Top it all off the food was incredibly meh... 45 min wait for 5 tacos... get with it....

Visiting Nashville from NM I guess just excepted more spice. Overall taste was good just missing the "fire". Service was attentive and Margarita was yummy. Dining area was clean as I could tell as the lighting was dim, hence the dark pics.

Used to be a decent place but has definitely gone down hill. The drinks are the best thing on the menu. I feel like the owners have become greedy and care more about quantity than quality. They need to revamp the whole menu or improve the taste of their current dishes. Either way I won't be back way to inconsistent.

The food never disappoints. Taste is flavorful and yummy. They have great attentive servers. The atmosphere wasn't a big vibe but it's a cute spot. Family friendly and plenty of space. Parking is chaotic but at least there is a semi large parking area and it's free. The queso and salsa flowed and the margs were tasty. Oh and it's not expensive so yayyy.

Stopped by here with a buddy the other day while picking up some specialty tequila at a nearby Liquor store, to add to my collection. Anyway, we came by here for lunch. I had the verde enchilada with beef strips on top. Which was good. I was craving Chili Verde or Carnitas, but that wasn't on the menu. This place is more of a place to get combination plates and not the place to get classic Mexican food like Mole, carnitas, etc. but it was good.

First time visiting never knew this restaurant existed lol. It's definitely a cute little spot with plenty of outdoor seating in a greenhouse and at picnic tables under an awning. I was told this place is usually packed and the service isn't always the best. Today must have been our lucky day. I'm sure coming during lunch time or around 2pm on a Thursday contributes to this greatly. Wait staff was fairly attentive and it was nearly empty. I ordered a steak Chimichanga but was given chicken. I went ahead and ate considering our server informed us he was working a double and wanted to take his lunch. Understandable. Chimichanga 4/5 -more peppers and onions than chicken I ordered a spicy margarita on the rocks that didn't seem to have any alcohol in it and was a margarita with a cup full of some sort of pulp and spices. I wouldn't recommend a spicy marg on the rocks. Despite the few things mentioned above, I will definitely try again.

I've lived in Nashville for almost 8 years but had somehow never been to (or even heard of) El Fuego. I ordered the Fuego Special which came with a hefty bed of rice under a pile of grilled chicken and delicious queso cheese dip. It was a simple dish that is common at Tex-Mex restaurants, but this was definitely one of the better iterations I've had. The chips and salsa were delicious as well. The chips were thin and crispy while the mild salsa had strong notes of cilantro and onion. The outdoor seating area was expansive and perfect for a nice evening. I loved the atmosphere of restaurant -- I never would have known I was in East Nashville. I will definitely be adding this to my Tex-Mex rotation.

We went for dinner last week. The service we received was excellent. Our server was attentive and was very helpful. We sat inside, the room is beautiful. It was also very loud. Not a bad thing, but, just to loud for my wife and I. We shared cocktails, my wife enjoyed her Margarita and I had a beer. The food was bland. No hot sauce on the table. There was no lettuce and tomatoes to complement the refried beans. The salsa was watery and tasteless. We will not be going back. With that said, this is a very popular location, the outside bar and dining room are beautiful and as I stated, the service was excellent. The food needs to be better.

We stopped here after a long drive from Michigan. We're in Nashville for the week for vacation and a work conference. We had no wait at 6:45 on a Saturday night. Our waitress, Lucy, was friendly and offered good suggestions. The guacamole was delicious! My husband enjoyed the birria tacos. They were sooo flavorful! I had a Paloma and a bean and cheese papusa which were very good. My daughter loved the suadero and a carne asada tacos and the agua de jamaica. We wanted to try the sopapillas but we were too full. It's a fun place and we would definitely stop again.

Food was amazing, went during live band show . The outside seating was great. Parking lot is a bit small but overall great experience.
