Reviews for Fuego Restaurant in Long Beach, CA
Great place to dine by the water overlooking the iconic "Queen Mary". Drinks ???? by Bobby where awesome, and the sea food tasty... ????. If you like Ceviche, get the Sampler Platter and you get to enjoy them all without committing to a single style. ???? Read more
The view is incredible. Definitely a reason to stop in for lunch or dinner. I had the crab cakes and the chicken tortilla soup.... The crab cakes were a little on the cakey/bread side for me and the tortilla soup tasted like boiled chicken. It wasn't veryappetizing. The server was polite and prompt. Go for the views and drinks.

This place with the terrace has a wonderful view. But it ends up in cutting corners when it comes to food, hospitality and... vibes. The food was somehow delicious but finally with so much salt that I had to drink 2 glasses of water and cannot finishit. Hospitality is a mess, first you enter into a parking where it seems you will have to pay more then 30$ because nothingmentioned that rates are different for the clients of the restaurant. Then signs to park are sending you in the oppositedirection of the restaurant. Finally heaters were cooking our skin instead of warming our bodies. Vibes were ok even thoughtwe can expect to have a much better ambiance in this type of facility. Read more
The food was delicious and fresh. Our waiter was patient and courteous, he even offered us something that was a house secret... because he realized we love spicy food. The view was spectacular. Strongly recommend. Read more
Fuego at the Maya Hotel in Long Beach. If you looking for a place with the most breath taking view or special occasion like any... celebration etc. as soon as you step into the main dinning room the entire ocean front view the port of marina and the infamousQueen Mary it’s to die for! Since it’s hotel restaurant therefore expect to pay premium $$$$ for the meal! Easily $100 perhead with a drink. Read more
Absolutely Wonderful! We were staying at the hotel here and we had both lunch and dinner here. Everything here was wonderful;... service, environment, food, atmosphere! There was nothing bad on the menu. For dinner we sat outside and they had outdoorheaters, which was nice because you are on the ocean. Definitely need to try the Mayan Legend for dessert Read more
On my out to the Cali Vibes Fest I stopped at Fuego for some seaside dining. I started with the Grilled Lamb Chops with... Chimichurri, Jalapeño Pepper Escabeche, Spring Sweet Peas, Roasted Sweet Potato with Cotija Cheese. This appetizer was the bestdish of the evening. The lamb was cooked perfectly, meaty, and full of flavor. I would hands down recommend starting with thelamb. The meal that followed wasn't as good. I had the Ropa Vieja, a Cuban Style Braised Short Rib over a Black Bean Purée onCrispy Corn Tortillas with Cabbage Escabeche, Caramelized Plantains, and Crema. The first thing I noticed was that my friedplantains were cold and the short rib was warm at best. I was very disappointed in the temperature of my meal. The flavors werethere I guess, but the portion was so small. For $33 I expected more than a scoop of meat and a pile of cabbage. The meat tocabbage ratio was way off. My guest had the Pan-Roasted Chilean Seabass with Fried Sage Brown-Butter, Blistered Tomatoes,Mashed Acorn Squash, and Chanterelle Mushrooms. The fish was actually pretty good and piping hot. Maybe my dinner was left inthe window waiting for the fish to be cooked fresh and that's why mine was cold. While the fish was good, again, it was a reallysmall portion for the cost. To keep from going to the concert still hungry, my guest and I ordered the Shaved Street Corn withGarlic Aioli, Queso Fresco, and Tajín. The street corn was better than both our dinners. The food is decent. When you comehere, keep in mind that you're going for the water front views and atmosphere and you'll be okay. Read more
I grew up in Los Angeles and I cannot believe that I have missed this place all these years! I'm so glad that I got to spend our... one year anniversary here! The views are absolutely absolutely epic and the tequila selection was impressive with some verydecently priced rare finds. The food was on point too! The only critical feedback I have is please trim the Palm trees, even ifit's not your property. Pay the fine, go to jail, whatever it takes. It would really help the view stand out even more!
