The only reason El Fuego even gets two stars is because the patio is really great, and that's about the extent of it. I had been craving fajitas, so that's exactly what I ordered, and I was extremely disappointed. The chicken wasn't grilled, it seemed like it might of been boiled, and it was slimy. That's where my meal started and ended. My boyfriend ordered a torta, which he enjoyed, but it came with french fries that were cooked in old oil. I didn't complain about my food, but when we asked for the bill we were informed that we could only pay with cash because there was a power outage somewhere near the restaurant. I understand that's out of their control, but we didn't have any cash, and I feel like she could've informed us a little sooner. Our waitress then told us to go use the ATM at the front of the restaurant which also wasn't working because of the power outage. At this point the manager came over and asks to write down our credit card information which I wasn't having. So finally the manager agreed to let us run to an atm, which was two towns over, but she also demanded that we let her take photocopies of our ids. I feel like it is situations like those where you comp a meal, but apparently not. We drove to get the money and came back and paid. Extremely poor service, food, and management.

We loved it! The Service Was Great the Food was excellent.

I was in Milwaukee visiting from Arizona, and this restaurant is the best Mexican Restaurant I've been too. Even in Arizona where we are by the border of Mexico, I have not tasted the food as good as this, and the decoration of the restaurant looks more authentic than any restaurants I've been to here in Arizona. I give the restaurant 4 stars. Excellent.

The food was just excellent, menu isn't too big so it's easy to make a decision. The atmosphere was very relaxing. The patio was comfortable, cozy and beautiful. It has a waterfall and a couple fireplaces. They really did an excellent job with the interior design. The wait staff was good, very attentive. I have had better chips, but the salsa and guacomole was excellent. We ordered the rainbow margaritas, they are a bit expensive compared to their other choices, but they were very good and worth the money. We ordered a pitcher and it filled pretty close to 4 glasses. I had the traditional enchiladas, with shredded beef, very tasty. We also tried the shirmp quesedila, it tasted very good. Lots of shrimp! No one in our group could complain about anything, we all enjoyed dinner. 4 of us with 2 pitchers of Margaritas, appetizers and each had an entree, with the tip, the bill was $140.00, which we found very reasonable.
