"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

It was simply delicious authentic Mexican cuisine. We’ve been in Nashville for several days and this was by far the best meal we’ve eaten since arriving. Quick and fabulous service, best guacamole I’ve had and a huge helping of food. My husband and I both took half of our plates back to the hotel for a snack later.

During a recent trip to Nashville, our friends took us to this restaurant our first night there because of their amazing margaritas. Very cozy setting with a warm and upbeat vibe. The staff was very responsive and quick. If you are looking for a delicious and pretty strong margarita definitely go with the classic frozen. The chips and queso were a great start to the meal. We had couple different burritos and enchilada plates and all of them were excellent. We will definitely go back next time. We’re in town to their fantastic margaritas again!

The food and atmosphere were amazing. Our dogies were welcomed in the greenhouse which was nice and warm in the winter. Layla provided excellent service and conversation. I order al pastor tacos which were amazing with the pineapple flavor. I would definitely recommend El Fuego any time for you and your furry friends. 🐾🐾💕

Awesome outdoor space with live music (until 10 pm) and a very neat greenhouse with gorgeous plants and lights throughout. Owner Jorge was so hospitable and friendly, along with the staff. Great 'off menu' nachos and the burria tacos are bomb. For NA, the aqua de Jamaica (hibiscus) is great!

Arguably the best Mexican we have eaten in East Nashville. The good : Food was amazing, menu is great, service was quick, margarita's were good, prices were decent. Certainly one of the best fajitas I have had in Nashville. Outdoor seating area was great, parking was easy when we went. I would bring friends here. The bad : Not much, looking forward to our next visit.

Love the service! The food is pretty good 🏵️ Update: please update your pricing online. Please also quit putting one piece of meat into vegetarian plate. This has happened twice! Still love you though.

Delicious Mexican fare with an amazing outdoor atmosphere. Even on 🥵 days it’s comfortable to eat outside. If you make it here you gotta try the guacamole and queso!!

SoI recently visited here and enjoyed a decent meal. I ordered the enchiladas, generously topped (not filled) with flavorful meat and a delicious green sauce. The side of refried beans complemented the dish well. My partner opted for the chimichanga and was pleased with her choice. While nothing particularly stood out, the prices were reasonable, and the service was good. We also noted the appealing prices for margaritas, making a return visit a possibility.
