Worth the Hunt - Truly Great Find. Moving to Phoenix from San Francisco we have been missing the wide variety and caliber of restaurants SF offers. Bistro Fuego ranks right up there with the best of the small SF restaurants. Six of us shared a number of appetizers that were all fantastic then moved onto individual entrees that were all unique, flavorful and seriously bountiful. Despite being stuffed at this point we still went for splitting some deserts and these too were very good. Combine the food with excellent drinks and top notch service and you have yourself a real gem of a place. We'll definitely be back more than once.  View Less View More

Great Food and Service. A little hard to find, but once you are there, you will love the food and service. Reservations is a must with such a small seating area. Only negative was the "Prawns" dish, my wife expected Prawns, but they were just reqular size shrimp!  View Less View More

Some of the best food in town.. period... I belong to rewards network, and on their website, Fuego had the best reviews of anyone in Phoenix, and they had over 150 reviews to date, I also checked their Yelp rating, and it seemed to be in line, then went on citysearch, consistent great reviews... This place is unlike anything in Phoenix... They are really tucked away in a little courtyard behind Appollo's.. They have like 7 tables, but they also have a real strong patio... So for abience.. it's like way cute and has tons of urban charm.. First of .. quite possibly the best sangria in town... better than lola's, ticoz, or barrio... just had real unique flavor that tasted diffrent than most... second.. the food.. read a couple of reviews about portion size.. now I don't know if a couple of these reviewers are used to going to sweet tomatoes or Ponchos mexican buffet, but you are smoking something if yuou think these portions are small.. in this price range.. potions actually get smaller, but the quality gets better.. no, it's not cheesecake factory sizes, but when compared to Fuego's competition..(Barrio, Padres, Sierra Bonita, Coronado cafe) their portions and prices were right in line, not to mention better food, one of the reviewers refered to it as spanish food, which this isn't so what do I know? I think this place has a ton going for it.. fntastic food, great service from true phoenix urbanites, and to me, atmosphere that is unmatched in the city....It is really hard to find restaurants that have that untangable component of doing something unique... Fuego has metal menus, a querky, eclectic feel, REAL POEPLE working there that actually look like they enjoy working there, If your looking for cookie cutter, this place probably isn'r for you, but if you like seeking out diamonds in the ruff, Fuego Bistro is an awesome find...  View Less View More

Not my fav.. The Restaurant is very cute but like so many other reviews I feel its was a bit overpriced, and lacking in so many ways. I would give it another chance though.... Has anyone heard of Aiello's on Central and Colter OMG Great food, not overpriced and such a nice friendly staff. Its new but its destined to be a hot spot in Phoenix  View Less View More

Decent for the lack of Spanish choiuces in Phoenix. But small entree sizes.. I know that tapas restaurants are famous for their "small plates" mentality, but this is a little too pricey and chintzy even that considered.

A little too expensive for the amount of food they serve. But my wife and I like to come here since there are not many Spanish food choices in Phoenix. Granted we were spoiled living in Tampa as long as we did, and had the best Spanish food in the U.S., but Fuego is decent. And far far far cheaper than the place in upper Scottsdale that is like 40+ a plate. That is just stupid to charge for food as simple as Spanish cuisine. Give us more serving sizes here and you guys goto 5 stars!!!!!!!  View Less
