Fuego Latino Gastropub

Wow! This food is soooo good. We grazed on four different appetizers and didn't even make it to entrees on this visit. The people are so friendly and the food came out hot, fast, and perfect. Great job! We are definitely coming back to knock out some of those entrees!

My daughter and I went for lunch to spend some time together. The interior is a very nice setting, and it’s in a perfect location. The menu looked so good online, so I wanted to try the yucca fries. Server wasn’t very friendly, and the food wasn’t anything to go back for except the yucca fries, and the chicken and goat cheese empanadas, which were pretty good.

I have been meaning to go to this restaurant since we moved to Georgetown 5 years ago. I can’t believe I waited this long. The place is brightly painted red with red chairs which is very welcoming. The owners, Jorge (also the cook) and Aracely (his wife) were fantastic. They were friendly and nice. Their son also helped - so it’s a family affair…. The food was fabulous- we had appetizers: empanadas, salad and the 3 ceviches served with fried plantains and chips which were amazing! The flavors of the ceviches were delicious and all 3 were univque. I would go back and order this every time. This restaurant is definitely a gem in the GT square - highly recommended.

What an amazing dinner we had! Service is great. It’s a small place but there was no wait. Went around 5ish on a Wednesday. They have a full bar and nice beer selection. The yuca fries are great! The seabass was out of this world. So good. Hubby had the Beef Arepas and they were good too but don’t think we will get those again. Parking is pretty tight since it’s in the downtown area but not bad. Highly recommend.

Great place! I loved the mood of sunday brunch, you can take from the buffet with fruit, eggs, bread... plus 2 options a la carte. The portions have perfect size, you don't feel hungry once you finish, yet not too big as often in Texas, the menu is pretty concrete, not too much options, but with enough for different preferences, pet friendly, you can go with your pets if you seat outside. All the staff was so friendly, warm, educated, high standards of service! in special our server ANA.

My wife and I had dinner here today and both the service and food was exceptional. The pisco and lemonade were delicious. We had the lamb with cheese, the seafood paella and the relleno. Highly recommend. We'll be back!

My wife and I decided to take a stroll around the square, eager to try something out of the ordinary. Wow, were we blown away! This place is absolutely fantastic! It’s a hidden gem, and it's so disheartening to hear they’re closing their doors in July. Don’t miss out on this amazing experience!

Update: June 2025 They are moving as the lease was lost. We hadn't been back in a while. Everything looked the same. However it appears the portions are smaller. There was a lot more decorations on the food covering the main proteins. The scallops were good. The beef ribs were very small. The chicken was small, dry and overcooked. Update: August 2023 We haven't been in a while. We took the lady there for her birthday. The service was great. The food tasted wonderful. The food presentation is beautiful. The atmosphere is nice. Update May 2021. 2nd visit. Delicious again. We started with a ceviche mix with plantain chips - very tasty, really like the whole corn kernel crunch. Next was the shrimp croquets, soft inside with a bit of fry on the outside, with sauce on a slaw (ate all of that too). Very nice. Then we had the beef empanadas, which my lady and son liked, but I have never been a fan of anywhere. Then there were some pork sliders with avocado and slaw - cooked perfectly. Finally some pork chop Milanese. We thought we would see pork chops, but instead it looked like a schnitzel. Very good and topped with some amazing vegetables. We realized that Latin food is not Mexican or TexMex again. I had a craving for some hot sauce or salsa, but this is a different kind of food. We didn't ask for any. We will go back. Late 2020: We visited Fuego Latino Gastropub in Georgetown for the first time last weekend. They opened some time during 2020 covid. We didn't know they came to time, from Round Rock as I recall. They are right on the square on Austin Ave. We were seated up front near the window so we could people watch. There was enough space between the tables and the servers wore masks. The restaurant is a family run business with the lady running the front and the gent running the kitchen. We met the owner Araceli. She was friendly and informative of their venture to Georgetown. A few of her sons were also cleaning tables. The food style is some what unique. It is not Tex-Mex or Spanish. It is more a fusion of Brazilian Mexican and Spanish I suppose - Latin. The three of us shared food. We started with a salad of kale and slivered apples. It was great and tasty. The next starter was chicken croquets. They were on a slaw with some dollops of red and green sauce. My lady got a taste of heat but my son and I didn't, again tasty. We had three entrees - pork ribs crusty skin but tender on a slaw, a long plate of scallops with some fancy sauce, and an amazing arroz con pollo that I have never seen before. There were three pieces of chicken topped with a vegetable, bean, rice and sauce mixture. Very good. Each plate from the appetizer to the final chocolate cake desert was presented beautifully. We were impressed. We are glad they are in Georgetown and hope they keep up the quality and do very well. We will go back again.

We had been wanting to hit this place up for a while, and decided that our last day of work/start of summer vacation would be the perfect time to try it. The ambiance was vibrant but modern, with oversized comfy booths, high tables, and two stories for extra seating. We were so excited to get drinks, since they sounded so delicious. We got a pisco punch, as well as the tropical margarita. Both were well balanced, boozy, and refreshing, which was exactly what we wanted. We also ordered a the ceviche sampler, corn sampler, yuca frita, and duck enchiladas. The ceviches were fresh and tasty, with a great balance of tortilla and plantain chips to accompany them. We also enjoyed the corn cobs, and liked that each one had two pieces for us to each have our own. Our entree came with 4 enchiladas, which was big enough to share. It was a bit spicy and very flavorful. The yuca fries were also so tasty and served with two dipping sauces. The service was good overall. There were a few moments here and there that I was looking for our waitress and she wasn't there, but it was also busy and since we weren't in any hurry, it didn't bother me. Overall, we will definitely be back!

Gastropub it is! Situated on the square in Georgetown, Nice bar and small restaurant serving Latin food. We started off with a Mexican martini whick was slightly spicy due to the serano pepper rings. We ordered the Crispy Cuban sandwhich which is pulled pork, Swiss cheese, smoked ham, creamy mustard sauce, served with plantain chips. I had the the Lamb barbacoa which is Mexican style braised leg of lamb and five tortillas and guacamole. Both lunch entrees were delicious and well presented! The menu includes many great sounding lunch options. Give it a try!

I absolutely love this small town gem. The fusion of Latin American flavors is always on point and the chef-owner and his wife often have dropped by our table to say a quick hello or share information about the food, drink, or restaurant. Located on the square in Georgetown, they are equally great for a fancy schmancy night out or a casual dinner with quite a bit of variety to suit many preferences. Our all time favorite appetizer is the Grilled sautéd Octopus a la Gallega - perfectly prepared every time we've had it. Served like a bruschetta with a ramesco sauce. Most recently, we tried their Cheese and Lamb appetizer- a smoked Gouda fondue with lamb barbacoa and it too was delicious. For a main course, depending on the size of your party, the Argentinian Parrillada is a real treat with a variety of meats to enjoy. Steak, pork, ribs, chorizo... wear your thanksgiving pants. You're welcome. Not in the right mindset for something that robust? No worries because there are plenty of other options. They ALSO have a steady supply of Pisco in their well-stocked bar for those who like to partake. We haven't yet enjoyed the Sunday Brunch but if it's anything like every other meal we've shared, it's definitely going to make an appearance in the very near future.

Was in Texas visiting came to eat here. Very cute place loved the vibe! The food was delicious! From drinks, food snd dessert!!

Visited this restaurant for my birthday with my husband and toddler. We had a reservation but were still waiting and the desk for more than 5 mins because everyone was occupied and no one was paying attention to the front desk. After we got our table and menu, it was a long wait before someone came to take our order. Multiple times, my husband went to the servers to request for something. Food was ok, nothing too great. We have the ceviche taster and ribs. The drink that I ordered was a complete waste of money. Not good at all.

Great restaurant great food great vibes. Was in town for MotoGP decided to have dinner here one night and everything was amazing. Apps were great and then the food came and was delicious. Seriously can't recommend this place enough! Margaritas were great with yucca fries and ceviche. Management and staff are so friendly and helpful truly enjoyed my experience!

Oh my lanta!!!!! This place was the best place I have eaten in a very long time. The family who owns this truly deserves best restaurant of the year! So kind and catering. I love it here

Food is so good and unique. It's always fresh and delicious and the bar drinks are always made fresh to order with quality ingredients. This is a family business who take great care of their customers.

I must say I was pleasantly happy with my experience here. I didn't make reservations but was seated right away. The server that waited on me was amiable and tentative. The overall ambiance was nice and joyful as well. I love that fresh flowers were on the table, and the place seemed Valentine-ready. As for the food, I was not a big fan of the cheese and lamb, but it could have been me. If I had any complaints, it would be the temperature of the food. I wish the food were much hotter when it came to the table. Everything else was flavorful and very delicious. I plan to return to this establishment in the future.

Visited Fuego Latino for brunch on Sunday and was bowled over. Everything I put in my mouth was delicious, from the cornmeal pancake to the potatoes with chorizo. Can't wait to go for dinner sometime (but don't sleep on the brunch, it's a great deal!).

Atmosphere 1* - Loud and echo-y that made table conversation difficult. Enjoyment went down ten-fold after having to sit next to a table to 10 drunk sorority girls each vying to win the loudest cackle award. Service 1* - The hostess looked like she was super annoyed when Hubby and I arrived, and the annoyance came through to us as customers. Our server, Chris, had low-energy, took our order, and was not seen again. Various other folks brought out our food and our final check. We were surprised to be served our main meal after taking a couple of bites from our appetizer. I asked for a clean plates for our main dish, and instead of bringing two plates for both Hubby and I, we were given one clean dish. We had to flag someone down for another clean plate. Our dirty plates stacked up on the table, including our appetizer dishes while we ate our main dish. Food 2* - The only saving grace for the food was the ceviche sampler. We had no idea what the three ceviches were because the dish was hurriedly plopped in front of us, and before we can ask, we saw the server's back as he was walking away. Our seafood paella is perhaps the WORST paella we have ever had. Not only was the paella rice mushy, but it lacked the wonderful bottom crust and it was so incredibly salty that it was not edible. Of course, not one person came by to check how the food was. Value 1* - The most expensive dish on the menu, the seafood paella, at $42.00 was not edible. Hubby and I have traveled the world and have a lot of food experiences. This place is definitely not worth the time or money. Perhaps one of the worst food experiences Hubby and I have ever had.

This place is really amazing and especially for Georgetown. They have some really great craft cocktails and the ceviche sampler is truly amazing, we get it every time we go there! I shared the Argentinian Parillada with a friend and it did not disappoint. The Yuca fries were great! My wife got the beef arepas and they were also really good. If you want high class Mexican food this is definitely the place!

The food at Fuego is phenomenal! I'd recommend trying a different dish everytime! The cervice options can't be beat and that Cuban sandwich is a gift from god. Staff is lovely and welcoming and the restaurant is in a lovely area on Georgetown square.

So first off let me say that the service has been SOOO amazing that I started writing this review while still being served. Came in lunch service to celebrate a friend's wedding and everything has been amazing thus far! Reservations were made prior to arriving and they have been extremely accommodating to the entire party. Decor is very urban industrial with exposed pipes. Looking around, it's much bigger on the inside than what it looks. It's 2 stories and the upstairs is functional. On to the food - so far I've only ordered an appetizer which was the spicy shrimp ceviche tostadaitas and AHMAGAWD they were bomb. They definitely have a kick to them but very flavorful! Chips and salsa are complimentary and also something to remember. A few others in our group said that the yuca fries and plantains were also yummy!! For the entree, we tried out the chipotle brlamb Barbacoa tostones which were extremely yummy! I don't think anyone in the group had a negative thing to say. Thank you guys so much for the service and we can't wait to come back!

Delicious, I went with my papa, and the food was amazing. I love the mix of Latin styles and recipes. The food struck a good balance. The yuca was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The chicken empanadas has great chicken with the tomato jam and cheese yummy. The tea was great

The food and atmosphere is great!!! The serve was so nice. The chef came out and asked how everything was. I recommend 10/10 date night dinner girls night!!!

I haven't been to Fuego for lunch since they moved to Georgetown. They weren't very busy today, and our service was excellent. I ordered the Fuego House to drink, and it was delicious and refreshing, perfect on yet another 100+ day in Texas. The lamb barbacoa was tender and flavorful. The tostones were firm but soft in the middle, but the combined dish lacked seasoning. I added quite a bit of salt, but it still seemed to be missing something. Lime juice might have helped, but I didn't think to ask for any. The restaurant was dimly lit, which in some way made it feel cooler today, with fresh flowers on every table.

One of my fave restaurants in Georgetown. I have never had a bad dish (or drink) here. Service is consistently warm and attentive. The scallop dish is a wonderful combination of flavors (and you might think at first glance it's a small dish bc of the elegant plating but it definitely fills you up). The arroz con pollo is another reliable favorite (and often I can't finish the entire thing so I have tasty lunch leftovers the next day). Definitely get the yucca fries and or tostones as an appetizer/side. The empanadas are also super flavorful. (If you save room for dessert, solid churros as well). They also have an amazing lunch menu - the cubano and the chicken wrap (which is essentially the arroz con pollo dish wrapped in a tortilla) with your choice of yucca fries or plantains is a steal. Everything is full of a wonderful mix of fresh flavors - you can tell the kitchen takes great care with their menu. I almost hate to review it in case it becomes difficult to get a table in the future - but this family owned business deserves all the love!

Came here for lunch hoping to try the empanadas and found out it was Sunday brunch and that wasn't an option. Oh well! Next time! Brunch was great. Served a good variety of something for everyone. Baked goods, salads, eggs, meats/potatoes, and delicious plantains! You could then choose another 2 items from their brunch menu, which they said changes every week. Non-alcoholic drinks were included and the service to refill those was amazing. My coffee was never empty! Sat by the door which was kind of cold, but that's not their fault...it was 12 degrees that day! I would definitely go back and try their regular menu.

I was stoked to give Fuego a try, I mean Latin inspired restaurant in Georgetown - who would've thunk it. I reserved a table via Yelp and when I arrived my table was ready with a name tag First the menu is definitely a mixture, with items from ribs to ceviche, scallops and pork chops so I was a little overwhelmed by the variety as I was hoping for more of a Latin focus. Service - great waitress was attentive Food - 4 out of 10. We started with the ceviche sampler, I enjoyed 1 of the 3 and my spouse a different of the 3 and the other was a no for either of us. For my meal I went with the waitress fave, the nachos and sadly I couldn't get past the smell. Lucky for me I married a keeper who will take one for the team and swap meals with me the swap was for the jerk ribs and while they were ok, they really were just ok Not my fave spot but I definitely wanted to give it a go. I probably won't be back as there are too many restaurants in the city to visit

This will my second visit in two weeks. While some of the food seems priced out of my budget, there is enough that is affordable and super filling. My friend and I had the Beef Arepas. The three patties and Cole Slaw filled is up and we're delicious. Next visit will be the triple Cevichi or Nachos. Either way, can't wait to try. May take hubby for the Sunday brunch the next weekend!

Ate there on a Saturday night. Yes parking wasn't easy but it's Saturday night on the square. The restaurant is casual. We had a reservation so wait was very short. The wait staff were great!! Several different ones checking on our drinks and everything. The waitress was very personable and attentive. Her recommendations were spot on. We started with the Ceviche sampler and the empanadas. The Ceviche sampler was amazing. Flavors were like a party in your mouth! Not too spicy but oh so tasty. Empanadas were so good, too. I ordered the scallops. Delicious! Cooked perfectly. My husband ordered the spare ribs. Very very good with the exception of being a little too fatty. The dulce de Leche filled churros were great, too! Very busy place but the staff and the food more than made up for the noise. We will definitely want to share this experience with friends and family.

Food was delicious and servers and all staff so friendly and interested in making experience great

Everything is good.. service ambiance FOOD. The family is just the best. The absolute nicest. Try EVERYTHING!! The heart and soul of this family goes into their food.

I absolutely love this place! I feel like a lot of other restaurants around town serve the same things. The menu at Latino Gastropub is refreshing. Everything that I've ordered here is well cooked and delicious

Upscale Tex mex place. Had the shrimp tacos. Ok. Good place to chill with a cold beer.

Tasty spot on the quaint Georgetown Square, skilled chef with a menu that has proven consistently with something for everyone in our dining group.

We had Sunday brunch. You get to order 2 main dishes from the 6-dish menu, and every side dish/fruits/salad on the counter is all-you-can-eat. Overall the food is good, but nothing that blows me away. The service is great. Our waitress was very friendly and helpful.

So many wonderful choices to try it is hard to choose. The owners are so very kind. The Mexican martini is probably one of the best I've had. I loved it because it wasn't too sweet and it was more citrusy. My husband ordered the Chili Relleno and I ordered the Beef Arepas. Wow!!!! Bursting with flavor, I very rarely eat my whole dinner but the Beef Arepas we're fantastic. I highly recommend them and stuff the slaw in them. My husband loved the sauce with the Chili Relleno. Cannot wait to go back and try something else!!!

We ordered two cocktails, the old Fashioned and the Fuego House, both were excellent. We decided to share the Pork Milanese as we were not terribly hungry. It was simply plated (failed to take picture before diving in) with two pieces of meat, approximately the size of my hand, with vegetables and jalapeños sauted with the sauce poured over. It was DELICIOUS with just the right amount of sauce and vegetables as the topping. We were so impressed that we decided to order the Beef Empanadas which is a share plate (appetizer). This was equally as delicious with caramelized onion and small slices of tender beef along with two sauces to pour over. Wow, wish we had more opportunity to visit more times as I would love to try every entree and every share plate. The chef/owner brought the plates out each time and explained the dishes and sauce. Service was great. It was medium busy on a Thursday evening in February but we did make reservations ahead of time.

What a great find (for me). I've been walking past this restaurant for a couple years but never went in. So glad I did today! Had the Cuban crispy sandwich and the guacamole and chips/plantains for lunch. Presentation was on pointe (lunch came in a cigar box!), but the food was even better. Can't wait to come here for dinner.

Okay here is what matters. We have not had a bad meal/ dish here yet. The food here is on point. good, to really good, to even great depending on what you order. with that said this is a place to be adventurous on the menu... it's all good. Try everything and share all plates at the table. Or not. This place would be 5 stars if they got a real deal bar tender... and stepped up the Service. drinks well to be honest suck. Service... well if they get that right with a real bar tender. it will be game over... you will have to make a reservation to get in. Food Yes Drinks- weak Service- they're trying- My wife and I love this place, and so far everyone we have taken has enjoyed it.... And they like me all say the same thing drinks and service are weak sauce. For the experience all 3 are need... On a scale of would we go back? Oh yeah, If you want this place packed... focus on all aspects of the business.

Great service and cool entrees. A nice change from the typical "tex mex." (Which i love as well)

That looks amazing I'm in Georgetown but o locked in information I'll be heading there shortly. Kenny Garcia

We have eaten at most the restaurants around here and I will never know why we missed this fantastic restaurant! The waiter was very good and the shrimp quesadillas were delicious. We will becoming back here with some of our friends. Was lucky enough to talk with the chef and the owner who has a true passion for cooking and taking care of his clientele.

We had dinner on a Wednesday night. The restaurant was not busy but we had reservations and dined with friends. We all got something different. For starters we had the Cuban Sliders. They were delicious. I had the Pipian duck mushroom and corn enchiladas. They were pretty spicy but I like spicy food so they were great. Very flavorful. My hubby had the scallops. Those were terrific and cooked perfectly. My friend had the arepas and we all loved those. My other friend had the arroz con pollo and it was delicious too. The pollo dish was a very large portion that they were able to get at least 1/2 of the plate to go. For dessert we had the chocolate pie and stuffed churros. Wow. What a wonderful way to end a great evening. We will be back!

In my opinion, Fuego Latino and Chef Jorge make THE best shrimp tacos in the Georgetown/Austin area!! The tortillas are perfect and add to the great flavor. To me, this is key. If the tortilla is spongy or taste stale, then it throws off the taco experience. The shrimp are cut up into manageable pieces and don't fall off. The sauce tastes excellent and has a slight bite. The serving is 4 tacos which at first glance, make you think I may need more food but trust me....they will hit the spot and fill you up! Great job all around Fuego Latino

For my experience service wasn't the best, when I got there I ask if I needed to make reservations host told me yes, but someone from the back came to let us know that we could seat right next to the host, so right after I find out that you didn't needed reservation, right after owner attitude was indifferent from other clients so not the best experience and not looking to go back there again.

Just awful. Extremely overpriced and I don't mind paying money for good food but this was so terrible. All of our food was so fatty And chewy. Arroz con pollo just no flavor super fatty chicken thighs. The big $60 meaty meal was so terrible all fatty no flavor - gross actually My sons jerk ribs tough not like he remembered a few years ago when we were here The sides were all awful except the asparagus it was good Our friends kid had app of Cuban sliders served in cool box but that's about it Mystery meat w a slice of thin cheap ham on a tiny roll $18 The lamb was so chewy. And potatoes had no seasoning Scallops were ok. Most edible thing tonight. The sweet tea my son got was awful fermented or old i don't know we all tasted it to see what the heck was wrong but only conclusion was it had to be rancid. I don't recommend spending this much money here ever. I'm so sad we wasted our dinner night out with our families here bc we don't get to do this often it was a treat along w the play at the palace which was our first time going.

We all had the street corn, red snapper ceviche, cheese and lamb fondue, cumin chicken Lilly pops, black been dip with no chorizo, passion fruit margarita with salt, top shelf margarita no salt and ranch water! FABULOUS!! We will be back!

Poor service when the restaurant was mostly empty around 545p. Had to request the waiter to come over to take order, never received refills when cups were visibly empty, we have a small child and we're never offered high chair. Eventually found for myself near the bathrooms. We requested a straw at one point and was brought late in the meal with no offer to provide more drink. Waiter stood by the bar texting for most of our night. Food was fine. Cuban sandwiches/sliders without crispy bread is a let down. Empanadas were decent but better available at the farmers markets/food trucks around Austin. Unfortunately same with the Arepas. Food was quick once ordered. Other interactions with the staff were fine- so based on most of the other reviews I suspect this was an unusual experience. Texting in view everyone and not taking care of the needs of your only table in a mostly empty restaurant seems crazy when your income is based on tips. Menu seemed interesting at first glance and before our visit we expected to have this location in rotation for future visits. Hopefully management will catch on and weed out the poor performers if we ever come decide to return.

Food was but flavorful but not as much as we expected . We have been to several Latin restaurants but found this one a bit underwhelming, especially the service .

Great Latin American food, not just Tex-Mex. Interesting and tasty. Full bar and attentive service. I'm really glad we tried this place.

The nachos were unique and incredible, best I've had! Very welcoming and friendly atmosphere

Another very mediocre place to eat in Georgetown, the Cuban sandwich should focus its attention on the quality instead of the presentation of being served in a gimmicky cigar box. Nothing stands out great for it to be a place to want to come back. Only it's location and the fact that it's not awful food makes it a place worth saying "I guess" in agreeing to fuego latino.

A quiet place on the Georgetown Square. We made reservations on YELP so we were able to be sat immediately. I didn't realize it was brunch only menu Sunday mornings but they had enough where even the kids had something. The fruit was all fresh and sweet! I haven't had good pineapple all season and went back for 3rds! Yes, it is unlimited and they are more than happy to fill your plate. You get 2 items off the menu, we got ALL the food! My favorite was the pumpkin waffles, my daughter liked the omelet! They were large portions, in my opinion. The staff was off the chain! We were unsure what to expect and they walked us through the process a number of times. They we friendly, helpful, sweet, and just all around happy to be there!!! We can't wait to come back for the full menu!

Great food, atmosphere and service. Can get a little tight on space when trying to enjoy the weekend brunch but worth the hassle.

The food was amazing as always. The service was a little slow but not bad and very friendly. The ambiance if ok. However the food is so wonderful that's what counts. Jorge always stops by the table to check on how pleased we were!! He is the amazing chef. Shrimp Ceviche Baby Back Ribs Chile Relleno Duck Enchiladas Mole All dishes were excellent.

Authentic and full of flavor. The ceviche was traditional and spicy, and our guests raved about the arroz con pollo. It's also right on the main square so it's perfect for a pre or post dinner stroll.

Amazing service, food and drinks! So tasty and fresh!! I ordered the arroz con pollo and rice, farmers salad, and a ranch water cocktail! Amazing!
