Fuego
6958 E. Tanque Verde Road
886-1745

A remote little east side spot, Fuego offers a wonderful dinner menu and an elegant wine selection.

Stylized salads and appetizers usher in magnificently prepared entrees featuring lobster, steak, lamb and bison, sided with sautˇed vegetables.

Comfortable to elegant attire, depending on your mood. [Read article]
