We loved our lunch!!! :o) The food was great and the staff was friendly and helpful. Even though we paid at the counter and seated ourself (outside, at a lucky table!) a waitress came by often to see if we needed anything and to bring us more chips, water, etc. The owner was there and enjoyed telling us about the different types of tacos. The only awkward thing is the girls bathroom which opens to main eating area. Would be worth moving a couple tables to put up some kind of barrier wall between the two bathroom doors and the customers. a plant wall would be cool. We'll be back OFTEN, I'm sure. Nothing like living in old town Winchester and walking to restaurants around the walking mall. ROCK ON Winchester! Another win for awesome dining and a cool atmosphere. Congrats to the owners. :o)

Delicious! Fun mix of fillings and flavors across the menu. I love that you can decide between tapas style single tacos or gorditas and they still have a full dinner menu that can appease the explorer of flavor or tried and true favorites. Will for sure come again.

Excellent new Mexican restaurant in Winchester, just a block from the walking mall. Great filling selections with some that are not as typical. Will need to go back to try more : )

Absolutely delicious, 10/10. Best taco joint in Winchester by far. These aren’t just your basic chicken or steak tacos, these are speciality tacos (along with many other amazing entree options). You can tell everything here is prepared and crafted with care and authenticity. A little on the pricey side yes, but this ain’t chipotle. I will be coming back to Fuego’s very soon. Also, $6 craft margaritas on Mondays! I truly hope this place thrives here In Winchester!

Stopped by for lunch about midday. The girl behind the bar immediately greeted us in such a friendly way and explained the menu as we sat down. We ordered the Fire Pulpo and the Fuego Chimi, which I didn't realize was supposed to be a chimichanga, I was expecting grilled meat as described in the description with chimichurri. The Pulpo (octopus) was a very generous portion and cooked perfectly. I personally loved the roasted vegetables it came with the most, they were delicious! The chimichanga was also fresh and flavorful, but a little small if you're really hungry. The chips were fresh and homemade with actual tortilla chips, which makes them perfect for dipping! The pineapple mint again frescas was also flavorful and refreshing. The decor and environment is very welcoming, they definitely did a beautiful job on the remodeling. Can't wait to go back, I hope they expand their menu sometime!
