There is plenty of parking in the strip mall where Fuego is located.
The bar area has nice high tops next to the windows.
It turned out to be a fairly small and intimate place that was bright and impeccably clean. However, the tables were sticky, but the waitress/hostess/bartender said that it was the tables themselves. I noticed her cleaning them well, but nothing helped. This gives a bad impression, and it could be easily rectified by covering the tables. Who wants to sit at a sticky table?
No lunch menu or specials, so I went with the Boom-Boom Tacos ($13). "battered shrimp in boom-boom sauce, caribbean slaw & crispy onion strings". You have a choice of Mexican Rice, Poblano Rice or White Rice. I went with the Poblano Rice that was nice and fluffy but had just a very faint taste of poblano. The black beans were nice and had a pleasant texture and was a bit citrusy. A good amount of salt was needed. The onions strings was a nice surprise and added texture. I got a good amount of not very spicy shrimp on corn tortillas. The slaw was crispy, but I have no clue what made it Carribean. I also got the dreaded rolled up silverware.
