The Place to Go – This is the place to go if you want an incredibly good quality but well-priced mexican food. The people are very nice and are willing to build your burrito or Quesadilla to the perfect specifications. The food is amazing for the price, I would pay 10 dollars for a burrito, although it is only 6. If you want a place where you get awesome mexican food for a modest price, go to El Fuego.

very so-so Pricey, greasy rip off of the Chipolte chain. Unfortunately, due to the lack of fast-food restaurants in the Wash Sq area this place usually has a line. Someone open up another restaurant PLEASE!

mean people – Went there three times cuz it is Mexican and in the neighborhood of my job. After three times, no more. The people behind the counter clearly hate there job and are way rude. Woman behind me asked for Guac and the woman behinsd the counter rolled her eyes and pointed down. I guess she was saying they were out of it and it was too much for her to saay sorry we are out of it. also, they three the tacos together in the worst possible way to make it as incredible difficult to eat as possible. Wont be going back.

Best Burrito! – I went there for the first time 3 months ago and cant get enough. Now there is one at 21st and Chestnut and they have a full liquor license with great frozen margarittas! I think the place is great!

Delicious Mexican food If you like burritos then you need to try one at El Fuego. They use fresh ingredients and give extremely large portion sizes. Very reasonably priced.

the best mexican fare El Fuego can't be beat when it comes to fresh, delicious Mexican food. The atmosphere is utilitarian, but always very clean. The staff is friendly, but there is no wait staff, you place and obtain your order at the counter and eat it there or take it with you. The burritos are simply incomparable. They??re also gigantic. I??m well aware of this, however, and bring a healthy appetite ?? and scarf the yummy little football down.

Not so nice. – Very low quality meat served at this joint, as well as rude service, perhaps the owner is all about himself and not about satisfying the customer. Servers should be trained to be professional, serve with a smile and lose the attitude. The prices are high for the food quality and service. Tip-be careful about ordering guacamole on anything, it's about $3.00 extra and they do not tell you that!

Food and staff were great – Dicovered el fuego a few months ago. A bit small but those guys pump out those burritos like an assembly line. All the staff has always been polite and nice to me. I've never had any issues with that staff. They are a bit abrupt during the lunch rush bit that's how they serve so many.
