    Service and food were subpar. Go for the bottled beer.

    They did not honor our reservation and told us we had to wait an hour. Said they would call us when our table was ready, but they never did.

    Ways a bit of a pain to park near En Fuego. But the atmosphere is hard to beat! We went on a Wednesday and had a musician, which made it more fun. Food was good, overall. I really like their chips and salsa, and adding the guac appetizer is always a good idea. Decent drinks, including a fair amount of tequilas to pick from (though no menu). Had the chicken mole, which is excellent but spicy. In the past, service has been slow there, but this time, it was good and the server was very nice. Enjoyed our time there. Churros for desert are also excellent.

    Great Mexican food at low prices. The happy hour menu that is served daily until 6 o’clock has some really great appetizers that become meals. Portions are huge. I highly recommend the chicken quesadilla and the pulled beef taco.

    En Fuego is a cute little Mexican restaurant with lots of different spaces throughout the property. They serve traditional Mexican food at affordable prices and overall the place has a cool vibe. Our waitress could have been a lot better though. She seemed okay initially, but then forgot my niece's iced tea and was dismissive when we asked about it. Then she dropped it off later without sweetener. I tracked her down in the front of the restaurant chatting with her coworkers and she took a break to get it for me. At one point we thought her shift ended and that she left without passing us off. I could say more, but you get the picture. It was only about 4:30, so the restaurant was not busy. I'd go back for happy hour at the bar, but probably not dinner again. I felt like I was at Dick's last resort and not a Del Mar restaurant.

    We always come back to En Fuego when we are in San Diego. The salsa is our absolute favorite. We all had tacos (Baja, Cardiff Crack, and beef) this visit and they were all SO good. We will be back!
