Vibrant cantina with Mexican & Latin American dishes such as pupusas & carne asada, plus margaritas.
"Next to the margaritas, the best thing about El Fuego is the massive outdoor space—perfect for parents with small children, because those horses need room to gallop. On any given night, you’ll see lots of dads ordering from the walk-up counter outside and moms corralling toddlers from the fenced-in backyard once their quesadillas and tacos arrive at the table. There’s live music on the weekends, including a band that carries extra guitar picks so your child can be an honorary member. Go with a group so you can split a pitcher of those margaritas, snack on queso and guac while your kids play, and get a big spread of pupusas and birria tacos served with an extra rich consomé." - Adam Sloan
"Look to El Fuego just down Gallatin Pike for expansive patio seating plus house margaritas that are always just $5.99. The Suave frozen margarita is just $2 more and can be twisted with jalapeno, mango, or strawberry. El Fuego also has several other margarita options, including a skinny and hibiscus. Jose Merchan first opened this popular Latin American restaurant in 2018 and quickly grew the dedicated following that sent them packing to the larger space in 2020." - Bailee Mulder, Eater Staff
