I highly recommend the good golly miss holly - it’s simply divine. But to be honest you cannot go wrong with any taco they have! The poblano queso is the perfect appetizer for the table!
We came here for breakfast and it’s been a while since I’ve had Fuego. I forgot how large the tacos are! Do not underestimate these. Yes some of them are six dollars but with that being said, you truly only need one and two if you are starving. Tacos are very unique. I would definitely recommend the Dr Pepper cowboy.
So it was a 4 because I love spicy but wasn't able to have it when I went. I asked if the fit bowl was spicy and was told it was only the pico that had heat. I asked for it on the side. It was in the food and it was incredibly hot but it did taste amazing.
I have been a long time fan of Fuego. First in College Station and this one as well. I am usually amazed at the quality. This afternoon was a swing and a miss.
I miss the fresco queso- being replaced by shredded jack cheese on tacos but power through it.
I had an El Presidente. It was fine. It just wasn’t the normal quality that I’ve become accustomed to there.
The queso. This has been my go to favorite queso for years. Today- it was bad. Really bad. The taste was close to normal but I think it had been cut with something. It wasn’t the creamy normal awesomeness- it was thiner and had an odd off taste. Maybe had milk added? It wasn’t just bad- took a few bites and threw it away bad.
In full transparency, I did stop at about 5 o’clock on a Sunday afternoon. I was the only one in line in the drive-through and it took 10 minutes to make the order. Maybe I was the last of a batch I don’t know.
I’m willing to give it another try, but the whole experience was just off. I’m hoping they didn’t change the recipe and this was just a bad experience.

We stopped by here due to flat tire on our way to Austin. We looked for some simple chips and queso. Kind of disappointed the chips were kind of stale but the queso was good with the compliment salsa.
But, the highlight was the soda fountains with different flavors on a hot Texas summer. Looks like a busy college student hung out place due to its long hours operation. The staffs were attentive and courteous.
My rating as 5 is highly satisfied.
Taste 4/5
Attentiveness 5/5
Speed of service 4/5
Cleanliness 4/5
Will I return ? Most likely to try their tacos.
Will I recommend? Yes.
