Fuego Cravings - Mexican Restaurant — Restaurant in Buena Park

It was…a different experience. The food tastes homemade, and the staff is very nice, so those are pluses. I was coming for some à la carte items at a sit down restaurant, however, we found it was a self-service establishment.

When you walk in, it’s a stall in an empty food court that is very hot inside. It was easily 10-15 degrees cooler outside, but there are no outside tables, so be prepared to sweat. You walk up to the counter and put in your own order on a screen. The staff doesn’t speak English, so be prepared to either speak Spanish or don’t have any detailed questions. Google translate doesn’t cut it.

I ordered cheese enchiladas. I wanted a single enchilada, but there’s no à la carte options for that, so I ordered a full dinner. There was an option to remove the beans and rice, but the price stays the same, so expect to full price, even if you take the option they offer to remove items.

When I got my order, I ended up with chicken enchiladas instead of the cheese enchiladas I ordered, but there wasn’t anyway to get the order corrected, because again, no one speaks English.

I also got a pork tamale, which was terrific. Thankfully, there was an à la carte option on the self-service ordering system...

Went to Fuego Cravings in Buena Park and won’t be coming back. The staff had an attitude and no manners — not welcoming at all. Kitchen area is a mess with filthy floors and boxes scattered everywhere. The beans tasted like they came straight out of a can, and the nachos looked like something from a gas station that’s been sitting for hours. Definitely not worth the price for the low quality food served. I've had better frozen microwavable tacos and burritos compared to this place. The only great thing about coming here was...

Mexican restaurants can be hit and miss with their meats, but I have been to the Buena Park Fuego Cravings 5 times - and every time their Pastor, Chicken, and Carne Asada was tender and well seasoned - not dry at all. Their Cheese Quesadilla is an A+ and their Chile Relleno is also great. The Torta was a bit dry - needed Mayo I think. Fantastic meats/tacos here, I highly recommend...
