That's precisely what's on the menu at Fuego. Manned by award-winning Executive Chef Victor Juarez, Fuego-which is Spanish for fire-is a spirited celebration of the coastal cuisines of Mexico, Latin America and South America. With a vibrantly colored indoor-outdoor dining room overlooking panoramic views of downtown Long Beach and the historic Queen Mary, Fuego specializes in mariscos (fresh seafo
od), including platters of shrimp, oysters, mussels and lobster, as well as ceviche. Also featured is a generous array of antojitos (appetizers), as well as tacos, tortas and entrées. Naturally, every epicurean experience is complemented by a formidable wine list and artfully prepared modern Latin cocktails. The bar serves premium tequilas-the largest selection in the region-that may be sampled at the bar along with handcrafted margaritas and other signature cocktails. Fuego also hosts Maya Fiesta Domingo-a festive outdoor brunch featuring Baja-style seafood and savory barbeque accompanied by live Latin Jazz. Fuego is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
