Fuegos LA

Absolutely phenomenal experience at Fuegos LA! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm hospitality and an inviting ambiance that perfectly blends modern LA vibes with Latin soul. The food? Next-level. Every dish was bursting with flavor, perfectly cooked, and beautifully presented — you can tell there’s real passion in the kitchen. The grilled meats were juicy and full of smoky depth, and the chimichurri? Addictive. Their wine selection is thoughtful and well-curated, pairing beautifully with the menu. Service was attentive without being intrusive, and everyone made us feel like part of the Fuegos family. Whether you’re a foodie or just looking for a great night out, Fuegos LA is a must. Can’t wait to go back!

Are you looking for a fun spot for Saturday night? I got you one, a gourmet casual Argentinian cuisine spot. I had: 1. Argentina style potato tortilla - sharable snacks 2. Empanadas: hand cut beef, chicken, ham & cheese, cheese & onion, Caprese, corn, mushroom & spinach, vegan beef, bec (bacon, egg and cheese) 3. Beef milanesa sandwich 4. Lomito sandwich 5. Entrana - skirt steak with chimichurri

Best empanadas ever! You can taste the simple, quality ingredients in every bite - including the house made chimichuri. But besides the food, the owners Max and Fede made a point of coming to our table to ensure we were enjoying ourselves. Eating here is just part of the experience - the genuine community feel in this restaurant cannot be explained. You must experience it for yourself!

Best Argentinian empanadas! The place is a hidden gem, and the vibe is amazing! Delicious food and wine! Plus owner’s are so welcoming !

What can I say? Everything is phenomenal! I am so grateful for the opportunity to enjoy the food, love and dedication to sharing greatness with each customer.

I’m a vegetarian and I’ve tried the empanadas…the flavor is absolutely amazing! Highly recommended! The atmosphere is also super cool, truly something unique and different in Las Vegas! 🙌🏻

I love the athmosphere on Fridays and Saturdays night as much as I love the food. It’s amazing all the options they have, classic, vegan, glutten free. The staff is so friendly, I need more Fuegos in LA.

Fuegos is a delightful surprise. If you drive by quickly, you might not think anything of it -- but you should! The food is outstanding, and the space is delightful. They are serious about their Argentine fare, with a wide-ranging menu. It's not all empanadas (though they are excellent). We loved the pink salad, and the mixed grill was awesome. Most importantly, we're glad they're in the neighborhood. We need more sit-down restaurants, and Fuegos hits just the right note.

Back at our happy place, and Fuegos never fails to surprise us with their fresh changes that brighten every visit. The outdoor dining area is bright and welcoming, and there's even a huge heart on the building that lights up, showcasing the love the owners pour into this place. It's not just about the food; it's about how you're treated and the warmth of the community that gathers here. You meet new friends, and honestly, it feels like a family that's always ready to embrace you. While many refer to the venue simply as Fuegos, I prefer to think of it as Max and Fede's place because it transcends the typical restaurant vibe; it's so much more than that. When I arrived, the atmosphere was already lively, with Fede putting coals to work for grilling Argentine beef, which is renowned for its exceptional quality. According to argentinebeefusa.com, it's considered some of the best in the world--free of antibiotics, with most of the production occurring on natural pastures and grasslands. This dedication to quality shines through in their menu items, from the Hand Cut Beef Empanadas to the Argentinian Style Burger and Lomito Sandwich made with Filet Mignon, all of which taste unbelievably ! I was especially excited to try the brunch items, particularly the medialunas, which I hadn't had in years. Back when I lived in Buenos Aires, I enjoyed them nearly daily with café con leche to kick-start my mornings. I'm so grateful to Max and Fede for bringing these sweet treats to Los Angeles. I was pleasantly surprised to find medialunas filled with dulce de leche, which surpassed my memories--these are truly so wonderful with their outstanding recipe. They also offer a ham and cheese version. Whether you choose them plain or filled, they are remarkable, but the breakfast empanada with chimichurri is an absolute must. I took a bite and had a "WTF" moment; it was beyond delicious! Next was the burger, which the hubby thoroughly enjoyed. The Argentine spices brought a depth of flavor to this incredibly rich, cheesy, and juicy creation. For me, the Lomito Sandwich was the winner. The BBQ grill touch on the filet mignon, combined with arugula, roasted peppers, and a perfectly crisp fried egg, created a bussin'-bussin' combination of flavors. All of this was in a ciabatta roll, and of course, it was served with fries and sauce. We couldn't resist having some wine, and Max was happy to share his favorite: a 2022 Los Bocheros Malbec. It's so smooth, with notes of plum, cherry jam, mocha, and cola, complemented by flavors of blackberry, chocolate, and coffee. We ordered another round! What I never expected was a scoop of dulce de leche ice cream, but Fede surprised us, and once again, I was blown away. This ice cream had incredible depth and intense flavor that felt remarkably fresh. I learned it's his mother's recipe, and I could taste the love. We love chatting and laughing with these guys and sharing stories. They mentioned that Phil Rosenthal visited and declared their empanadas the best he's ever had. While you might not take our word for it, you can definitely trust Phil! I can't recommend this place enough. I love seeing these guys, how they make us feel at home, how they serve the most amazing food, and how there are always unexpected surprises. Bookmark this spot and head over for breakfast, coffee, weekend brunch, happy hour, dinner ... or follow them to reserve your place at their next BBQ!

We recently catered an event at our firm with FUEGOS LA, and it was nothing short of phenomenal. The food was absolutely delicious -- a gourmet spread that included both meat and vegan empanadas, breakfast sandwiches, and a delightful assortment of desserts. Everything was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. The food arrived right on time, giving us plenty of breathing room to set up for our 65-person breakfast event. It made the morning completely stress-free. Everyone raved about the food -- and people are still talking about it! I also want to give a huge shoutout to the owners, Frederico and Max -- they are just absolutely lovely and a true pleasure to work with. Responsive, professional, and so thoughtful with the whole process. I'll definitely be ordering from FUEGOS again -- they've officially become our go-to for catering. Highly, highly recommend!

If you love Argentinian food - you HAVE to go to Fuegos LA! The empanadas are incredible! We had 8 family & friends last Sunday and everyone totally loved the food, wine, drinks & desserts! We bought a dozen empanadas to take home and are enjoying them as well!! Love Fuegos LA! FedI & Max are amazing owners!

Fuegos, one of the newest restaurants in our area, has been endlessly talked up by all my neighbors. Lots of hype to live up to. I finally got a chance to try their food for myself -- and I BELIEVE THE HYPE. Max and Fede have managed to make the tastiest, savory empanadas I've ever had. And their wine selection and expertise have introduced me to so many delicious and unique varietals. We ate dinner just in time for their "jazz night," which only elevated the ambiance. I'm so glad that Fuegos is part of our community and I look forward to many years of good food, good company, and good stories. A+

Allow me to share my enthusiasm for this Argentinian restaurant, which is quickly becoming my favorite dining spot in LA. On my second visit, we indulged in buñuelos de acelga, empanadas, entrana, filet mignon sandwich, Dulce de leche ice cream, and their coffee (artesanal coffee, which is definitely a must ), and everything was truly delightful !!!!

Delicious empanadas with amazing chimichurri, served in a really cool wine bar space! They also sell take and bake empanadas which come in a really cute packaging and are perfect for parties and such. This is the exact kind of business we want and need in this south LA neighborhood, pay them a visit!!

I've walked by this place a few times and finally tried it tonight. We only got empanadas and drinks, but the menu has a lot more to it! The feeling inside was upscale and the service was friendly. We tried 5 different flavors of empanadas. My husband who is from Argentina and knows a good empanada said the beef empanadas smelled authentic and you just can't get chopped beef empanadas anywhere else in LA. Lots of other places sell you empanadas with mostly air inside or ground beef. Not here. Here there is lots of moist filling. Fuegos is great addition to the neighborhood! Convenient to the Expo/western metro stop. Fuegos is more proof that South LA is the new place you want to be.

They have the best Argentinian empanadas ! And a large variety of good wines especially Malbec ! Food is excellent and the owners are always welcoming! This place is a hidden gem, I for sure recommend and become a regular !

Had dinner with friends and family to celebrate my birthday at Fuego's and it was fabulous: the food was delicious. There was a jazz band playing... they were wonderful! I think they even have a Tango lesson night ! I live nearby and can't wait to return.

The food was very good, ate in the parking lot-- which had great live music and a car-b-que.

Amazing establishment! Super authentic and great workers! You cannot go wrong with any empanadas here all high end fresh and delicious! The wine was great Argentinian selection and the entraña was excellent! Will go back for more

I don't use the term Hidden Gem often, but this is absolutely what Fuego's is! They've got wonderful, creative and attractive empanadas that are handcrafted and made with love! My favorite is the hand cut sirloin and the vegan beef! They've got a bunch of great Argentinian sandwiches as well and you can dine in where they've got a great coffee and beer / Wine Bar that has a lovely rustic South American Decor to it. Big thanks for wonderful service and true South American hospitality! They also have a lot of cool wine tasting events as well as Tango classes. Just check the calendar!

Empanadas seems so easy, and yet you've most likely never had a good one. The dough was probably soggy and flavorless or the inside just bland. They're probably all shaped like mini tacos with no personality and maybe branded by whoever made them. Or maybe you've made your way to Fuegos and just been baptized in the way of the empanada. Now it all makes sense. Flaky delicious dough, insides bursting with flavor, with a chimichurri sauce to bring it all home. On top of that, there's a speak easy to take it all in at and the owner is just a wonderful man. Excited to welcome this place to the neighborhood!

If you're in the mood for the best Argentinian empanadas in Los Angeles, Fuegos is the place to be. My top two contenders for my favorite empanadas at Fuegos are the hand cut beef empanada as well as the chicken empanada. Additionally, if you are in the mood for coffee, they have some great choices available. Fuegos is welcoming, and you are able to enjoy your food and drinks in a cozy environment. If you want magic, come to Fuegos.

Wow, where to begin with Fuegos? We can't imagine living in South LA without Fuegos - the ultimate destination for community, and the most amazing food, drinks, and fun. Every time we go it's a vibe, dance party, and celebration all in one. The service is top notch, with Maximilian and Federico really pulling out all the stops, making us feel like it's our second home. The ham & cheese medialunas are to die for as breakfast and we love every empanada. You can even get some frozen to go - perfect for a late night snack or emergency dinner. Can't sing enough praises about Fuegos, you have to check it out yourself! A true taste of Argentina in the heart of LA.

I have been dining at FUEGOS LA for the past week. While I have been unhoused from the lockdown getting off the Amtrak train last month. This cafe has been feeding my body and soul with their Argentinian breakfast and dinner vegan-vegetarian friendly meals, fresh produce, imported cheese from Argentina and delicious local baked artisan bread. It's been keeping my blood pressure down and my appetite up for more, empanadas, pozeleta, arugula and pink salad, golden milk with oat milk and dragon fruit latte with coconut milk iced! ay mi dios! Incredible! Delicious

Delicious and in a very cute setting. Very excited to have a little spot for happy hour in South LA! Great staff, very friendly. My only request would be they expand the menu a little or at the very least add a salad.

The food was delicious! I keep coming back for more and want to try all the empanadas!! The chimichurri sauce really ties it all together. They have a variety of drink offerings. But the empanadas are the star of the show! My favorite is the classic beef! The service is kind and thoughtful. They make sure you have what you need and then some! The ambiance is also stellar. The eating area is beautifully decorated and the music is amazing. I am so excited to come here again and again!

Yes, loved it. ! Can't wait to Go back! The empanadas are delicious, wine amazing Owners and vibe is GREAT Service was impeccable and friendly. Amazing love it!

Best empanadas in LA! This new spot is a hidden gem. I had the hand cut beef, ham & cheese, caprese, and corn empanadas. All delicious, the crusts were perfectly flaky, thin, and not heavy. A cornucopia of flavors. My favorite was the corn - vegan with a unique flavor. The restaurant itself is really cool. There's a small walk-up counter that's easy to spot, and next door is the dining room tucked away in an old tattoo parlor. Has kind of a speakeasy feel. The owner Federico is super friendly and has an interesting background in the entertainment industry. He is very knowledgeable about Argentinian food and makes excellent wine pairing recommendations. I will definitely be coming back!

My favorite Argentinian restaurant in town!!! The empanadas are unbelievable and the staff is very warm and friendly. Can't wait to come back for one of their tango nights

The moment you walk in, you're treated like family. The owners are amazing--genuine, warm, and welcoming. The atmosphere is so cozy and inviting, you'll find yourself wanting to stay longer. Great food, even better vibes. A true hidden gem! Thanks guys.

Awesome little restaurant tucked away near USC, phenomenal empanadas with an amazing dine-in section right next door to where you order. Rustic, clean, and charming, you'll love the fresh smell of sage and palo santo as you scarf down ham & cheese empanadas by the half dozen! The loaded fries drenched in chimichurri and polenta cheese is also a warm, satisfying stand out! The music selection is also great, caught myself "ooncin" to the beat more than once! Came here with a few other hungry friends and the food came quickly and efficiently for all us, the owners are stand up guys. Looking forward to visiting them again!

Loved this place, would definitely eat here again. They hosted a tango night and we went to check it out. We ordered all of the vegetarian and vegan empanadas, 5 total and they were all sooo good and I'm picky as I'm Argentinian. The dough was flakey and light which is basically impossible to find anywhere other than home made and you can tell the ingredients inside are high quality.

This empanadas are the best empanadas I've ever had. So flakey and fresh! Great atmosphere, like an old Argentinian bar. The empanadas were so good, I bought a dozen frozen to take home!

I would give this place 6 stars if I could! For the following reasons: - The service was delightfully friendly - The Empanadas themselves were immaculate and full of flavor. Don't skip on the chimichurri, it's a must - The wine pairings were perfect and very light and refreshing - The music played was fun to rock back and forth too and never became dull - The crowd was young and hip - And last but not least I would've killed a man for the dulce de leche ice-cream Overall fantastic hole in the wall, can't wait to come back

The ambiance was great! Super intimate. Service was awesome. Great music. Food was a little heavy but delicious. Can't wait to go back

Everything was delicious. Great service . Portions are perfect . Let's you sample many different empanadas which is great .!!!

What a GEM in the neighborhood. Great community vibes, tasty coffee, and delicious empanadas. We love going for a quick bite with the family. Such great service and the owners are so kind!

I'm so happy to have found Fuegos LA. The empanadas are the best that I've ever had the pleasure of eating. I tried one of every flavor and each one was as good the previous. Dine on the spot or take the frozen ones home for later. They give perfect home cooking instructions for your next event. To go sauces are also available and delicious.

The empanadas are delicious. Love that they have vegan and vegetarian options. Next door they have a speakeasy Wine Bar, the list features Latin American wines. This is exactly what the neighborhood needed.

I'm obsessed with this place. I recently attended a curated dinner at their wine bar and it was such an amazing culinary experience. Food was delicious, ragú ñoquis and carne empanadas were my favorites. The Argentinian wines were delightful. Loved the music and ambience. The hosts are super sweet and service was outstanding! Definitely coming back!

Awesome little new spot in LA, close to USC. Gaucho 100% Cool events coming up to this Argentinian restaurant.

FUEGOS Empanadas are packed with flavor. I love the vegan flavors and my friends love the Caprese and the chicken ones. They have something for everyone and my friends now expect me to bring them to every gathering. These are the best empanadas I've ever had.

We had a great experience at Fuegos! The empanadas were fantastic, full of flavor and variety. The chimichurri sauce that came with our order was really good. On top of this, the service was excellent. It has a unique setup with the Kitchen and ordering counter in one one space and a sit down area with a very cool vibe in an adjacent space! If you like other top spots in our neighborhood like Bacari, Ebaes, Johnny's Pastrami and MizLaLa, you will enjoy this place!

The wine and Empanadas selection was Delicious and vast. There is also once a month a theme night with live singing. All the meat is grilled on an old Chevy truck in the parking lot. The last thing the dulce de leche in house made ice cream so rich and delicious.

Fuegos LA is . The fillings on the empanadas are amazing. The dough is perfection. I had a mushroom and Spinach and a caprese to start. Also a Choripan (very flavorful). Then I got the chicken and ham cheese. Hands down the best empanadas I've had in a while. Service was fast and friendly. Very creative space. Nice gem for this neighborhood. Keep doing what you're doing Fuegos LA .I'll be back.

Best empanadas in town without a doubt. The owners are lovely. We came with a group friends on Saturday afternoon to grab a quick bite but the atmosphere was so incredible that we stayed until midnight. Definitely recommend it!!!

Fuegos LA is my go to every time I want to host friends with delicious empanadas. They really make you feel like at home and I am obsessed with the vegan options they have! The owners are absolutely lovely and they accommodated all my needs, vegan and gluten free! Can't recommend enough!

I rate this place 5 stars hands down. The food was simply amazing. All the empanadas are great the flavoring is perfect, seasoned with love. This is a spot you definitely want to try. It's hip and has good vibes and the owner Frederico was nice and friendly. If you're in the area or simply passing through town and looking for a quick bite to eat try, this is the place.

Best empanadas I have ever tried in Los Angeles! Meat, vegan, veggie, gluten free... All type of empanadas! The owners are super accommodating, great service and great empanadas!

As a native Argentinian and Tucumana (from the city known for the best empanadas in the country), I have to say that you won't find better or more authentic empanadas in LA than these! The beef empanadas are unlike anything you've tried before, but they also have vegan and vegetarian options, so you can bring them to parties and leave no one out! The service is fast and the ambiance is fantastic!

The tastiest, most authentic empanadas in Southern California! As a fellow Argentino, I've been missing that true taste of home, and nothing hits the spot like Fuegos LA. Their hand-cut meat empanadas are insane. Extremely flavorful and just the right amount of seasoning. And don't even get me started on the humita, they're ridiculously good. Honestly, no other place around comes close. If you're craving that real deal, I can't recommend Fuegos enough. 10/10!
