Fuego Tequila & Grill

Really great first time experience here with their happy hour, which runs on Tuesdays from 4-10pm. Great food and drinks, everything is made fresh!

Good food, great drinks, and Sunday football. What more could you ask for?! They’ve got a spicy marg made w habanero that’ll blow your mind! Check it out! They’ll even slice it up if you want. Everyone here was super cool too!

We usually come here for lunch and we are now addicted to their phenomenal authentic food, very delightful and friendly staff, giant TVs to watch sports all this plus it’s located in Locust, Walnut Creek, the best downtown for weekend nights out. Highly recommend

The bar waiters were so down to earth and gave an excellent service! Its a fun place to go to especially for big sport games and good music

A very nice place, the music is good, the atmosphere is very good, a suitable place to go with friends and have a few drinks, the food is not very good but it helps hehehe. It's a bit difficult to find parking but right in front of the place there is a 5-story parking lot so there's not much to worry about. Greetings.

I saw all the bad reviews after I had already decided to come here after an IG influencer gave it a thumbs up. I think they may have learned their lesson. Hell I was the only one in here. My food was excellent. My Marg was a little light but I love tequila. Maybe, they know how to treat people since they have suffered the consequences. Anyway, I will come back

Enjoyed the atmosphere and the professional service was very friendly and welcoming. Food was good. Will come back again!

This place is one of the best parties in Walnut Creek. Whether you’re a local or visiting from out of town you should definitely come here. The ratio was good and the dj played the best music. Come through here 100%.

Some items are pretty pricey for what you get but the burrito bowls are awesome here. Their house tequila is very good and the bartenders are excellent too. This is a great spot to catch a game

The food was OUTSTANDING! I had one of the Taco Tuesday specials, quesabirrias, for only $10. The tortilla chips we had were arguably the best I've ever had! Only two downsides: (1) the bartender was the only server, so sometimes it took a bit of time to get his attention. (But he was very attentive! And we weren't in a hurry, so we didn't mind a slight wait.) (2) The walls and ceiling made it the noise level quite high. (But if you want a place with a lot of energy, Fuega is the place!)

Love that they have daily specials for happy hour. We ordered tacos and tequila shots only bc we were making a quick stop but had great customer service, good food, and we plan to come back again to check out more of their food. Oh, and good music!

The sangria was tasty and perfect for the hot day. Pair that with the seven dollar appetizers for a great meal. There are giant TV screens all around so you can watch sports while dining.

Really nice service Food selection is somewhat limited and be patient as it will take a while Definitely stop by for some tequila

Primarily a bar with lots of beer options, there is also a largish menu featuring the normal tex mex dishes. Execution was really good. Their guacamole was creamy with bits of onion in it. The chip was made in house (but why only one?). Rice was fluffy and the roasted potatoes were excellent. I got the enchiladas which were also quite good. On the negative side, the place has horrible acoustics and once one third of the place had patrons, you had to scream to be heard. Also, the kitchen was not too efficient and it took them so long to get my dish out that the bartender came to apologize.

Ordered a burrito bowl. Came quickly and looked and tasted amazing. Wasn't busy at all at noon on a Tuesday. Hopefully they get some business

The food is good, if you order poppers and expect them to be fresh, they are not. They have them sitting in plates to take them to the customers. The drinks are good and the other food like their chips are made by them. The service is not good, once they brought the food we had no server. We had to get up and ask for the check. They have cool music so it’s a cool place to have some drinks.

Unethical business practices. Beware of up-charges! Look and compare your bill before paying! Overall, the drinks were good and the food was pretty tasty but the reason why I'm giving them 3 stars if for ethical reasons. My boyfriend and I had a great time and the wait staff was great and then we got our bill. 3 items (Pitcher of margaritas, fajitas and chips and guacamole) was $114. The reason this was a problem is because all of the tables had QR codes to scan for the menu. Our CEO margarita pitcher was $52, our guacamole was $11.95 and our steak fajitas were $17.95 (according to the online QR code menu) which should equal roughly $82 plus tax. Our bill however, came out to $104 plus tax which is when the $114 comes in. We asked our waiter to see an itemized recent. Turns out the real charge for the margarita is $64 and the real charge for the fajitas is $27.95...24% up-charge roughly!!! We had to call the manager out and he refunded the check and discounted us to honor the QR code price. He claimed he knew and blamed it on "Red Bull" who manages their online menu. We appreciated him honoring the price and further suggested that it was unethical to have the QR codes on the tables if they don't reflect the actual price that people are expecting to pay. He brushed us off and wished us a good night. Really wondering if people know this might be happening to them...

The perfect classic margarita!! Really good! Update, went back with friends and we got short changed. Drinks had no alcohol and all sweet and sour. Knocked it from 5 to 3 stars.

The drinks were decent. The food is absolutely tasteless. We got the wings (which were average), the taquitos and the enchiladas were flavorless and we didnt even eat 25% of the food. Will not be going back.

Food is terrible here. Feels like they just threw some frozen stuff in a microwave and served it to us. Adding insult to injury is that they charge a ridiculous amount for the subpar food. The only redeeming quality here is the drinks. Margaritas and other cocktails are pretty good, hence two stars instead of one.

Average to below average in all departments. Including cleanliness and excepting price. There was nothing really awful about the place, just seemed like a waste of time and energy and a lot of money to pay for the rent of a not particularly comfortable seat.

Have gone to fuego several times and haven't had a bad experience until this past Saturday. Food is decent, but my main complaint is the cost of drinks....70$ for 2 long islands on a Saturday night. Really? Due to this I will no longer be going there, since other bars have much fairer pricing and better customer service. Also, the staff is rude and uncaring.

One word. Terrible Horrible We ordered Chile Colorado and Chile Verde. The meat was sooo dry. Beans, rice and potatoes were flavorless. Salty chips. I usually give my leftovers to my dog... these went in the trash. Good luck at finding decent food here.

Female Bartender takes all your cash for tip. $9 worth then gives you no alcohol on next drink thinking your drunk and not notice. When u call her out she goes out to supervisor to give extra shot. DO NOT COME HERE!!!!!

Came here during the walnut Creek holiday stroll and the service was the worst l. They passed by my table at least 6 times and just ignored us! We were sitting there for 15min giving them the benefit of the doubt but eventually we had to leave.

First time in this dangerous place, what a horrible experience! Security Guards are there to solve problems, not create them! You don't feel safe, people who go to that place are in danger with the security guard who are so aggressive, I saw how they beatted a guy just for saying a word in Spanish and the security guard interpreted it as offensive.

$47 for 3 well tequila shots and... they were only 3/4 filled. Bro. What. Don't go here.

I have absolutely no idea how anyone gave this place a good rating, maybe they just got off a deserted island? Maybe they aren’t from this planet? This place is TRASH. Go here for a watered down cocktail but for the love of all that’s good, don’t eat here. $10 for guac and chips from a package? $14 for “street” tacos that might only be called that at this place because they look like they’ve been run over? California should be embarrassed to have such a bad “Mexican” place in its midsts. I’ve never had such a bad burrito in my whole life. It was like all the ingredients were bought cheap and in bulk, it tasted like it came from a school cafeteria. There are so many good taquerias in the area, go support them! Don’t give money to this lifeless stainless steal box with no love, character or care in their food.

I found this place ,fuego tequila ,took my wife there to enjoy a good meal ,in my day off ,everything was going good ,until i decided to go to the bathroom ,went back to my table and i found the cook sitting right next to my wife flirting with her said hes name was Ruben ,at first i thought he was just being funny ,but when he was asking her personal questions ,like we're do you live ,were do you work ,id like to meet you ,he was telling my wife to go back to the place at night ,to see him ,I don't know what kind of employee they have ,but i found this very offensive from a customer view ,when i tried to have a nice day with my wife and found a lonely cook that was looking for company ,really ??what kind of place is this ??,don't they have respect for customers ??is worst ,he found were my wife works and he started to harass her ,i mean whats going on ,?who is the owner ?i like to complain about this guy ,Ruben ,but were do i complain ??

If I could give a zero star rating I would. The only normal thing about this place are the bouncers. We ordered a Margarita Pitcher that was $50 And it tasted extremely sour, like something was off. We Immediately got sick and had to leave. This is not the first time i’ve heard this happening to people so we should have listened, but we didn’t and I hope you do. Also the new management is extra stingy and kinda creepy, It costs $400 just to sit at a table and they do not BUDGE on giving you a chair even when you’re getting sick off the drinks they made you. would not come here if you’re a young women, I’ve heard many instances where it’s very unsafe here and we experienced it. 0/10

It was a really nice place, however their street tacos gave me food poisoning. Be careful.

I came here on 11/24/2023 at approximately 11:10 pm. I showed the security my state issued mobile license. He denied me entrance unless I paid him $40. Mind you there was no cover charge and no one else had to pay. This guy hustle me for $40 while refusing to accept my state issued ID. Do not come here. If he was really trying to keep me out for an age issue, he wouldn't have let me in, $40 or not. This was a complete sham and shows lack of training.

I didn't realize till after I paid my bill that the waitressALREADY had padded the bill with her 20% for a party of six, and then asked if we wanted to add a tip. I then added $15 to a $95 dollar tab. What tricked was she showed me all the food I ordered and then showed me the list and I then assumes the total was with taxes and my $15 tip. The food was good but I think she did this a little too easy. I think it probably goes on a lot. Fortunately the manager fixes the problem. Very underhanded. I wouldn't trust the place even with great food.

Awful awful awful. They are absolute trash. Their website does not say they are 21+ at 9pm. I asked the bartender some questions and he looked like he had never heard a human being speak before in his life. I asked what the chamoy was for and he shrugged? His attitude was terrible and the whole vibe was also just bad. Never coming here.

Sorry, but I never got to try this place. I went there after work, because their hours online said they were open at 4 PM. I get there at 5:15 and they are closed. The guy inside continued to ignore me when I knocked on the door, which is understandable since I guess they are not open until 530. I go in after waiting on my coworkers and paying for parking, and we finally go in about 545 and the door is opened and the guy inside motioned with his hand and neck. I said "what does that mean? You are not opened?" He said "sorry, we are not opened yet" and when I asked when they would be opened he said he didn't know. His whole vibe was off putting. He could have sat us down and offered water since it was hot outside. He was rude and unprofessional. I'll never go in here after feeling like i was bothering him. No one wants to work all day and then wait around for the doors to open. No Taco Tuesday for my and my coworkers here. We went somewhere else.

What happened during my visit was deeply concerning. The behavior of staff and security created an unsafe situation for someone in our group. I don't feel comfortable sharing specifics, but this is not a place I would ever return to.

This place is horrific. You go in for a good night and the bouncers/security are trying to fight with you. We are suing this place for aggressive behavior. We are suing this place for being disrespectful and we are suing this place for improper things that are going on here. Security dragged my husband out of the club for no reason. We had to call 911. File a report and leave the hospital at 445 am. Do not go here. Beware!

It was my first time trying fuego last night because I always hear it’s so fun. The security guards tried to hustle me and my friend 25 dollars each to get inside. And when we refused ( because there is no cover they pocket the money ) they denied us entry! I spoke to the manager ( he said he was the manager) and he agreed we had to pay to get in! He is just as horrible as the security guys! This place will try to scam you. Not worth supporting a greedy business like this.

If you value the safety of you and your friends, stay far away from this place.
