Fuego Lento Restaurant

"The food was just ehhh but the manager overcharged us by $14 as she couldn't do the math even when the nice waitress tried to explain to her. We just paid as the non English speaking manager was bullheaded and lost good local customers. Paid $53 for 6 tacos and 2 drinks. Got ripped off but no big deal hope they apply it toward business lessons."

"this place is truly great. we ordered a few things and ended up taking most of it home because the soup portions were nice and hefty. everything was flavorful and made when ordered. cannot recommend this place enough. as soon as our soups came out we were shocked at how big the bowls were and how aromatic the soups were. flavors and service were on point. hidden gem 100%"

"First of all, let me say that I tend not to leave mad reviews unless I have a really bad experience. I read online something about this place being a "hidden gem" or being something close to as "authentic Mexican food". I have no idea how people came to this conclusion about this place because as a Latino myself, this food meh at best. My wife and I ordered several things on the menu to get a feel for the restaurant in case we were to make future visits. The guacamole was okay. We ordered 2 pupusas and they were really dry and barely had any filling inside. We ordered carne asada and a carne guisado dish. However both dishes had a terrible amount of salt in it. I could not take a bite out of my food without having a disturbing cringe look on my face. The only redeeming quality was the desert, assuming it was homemade and not store bought. I would not recommend this place to any to be frank. If you wanna eat really good Latin food nearby, eat at Alpha & Omega or Punto Peruano in North Plainfield. Or any Latino restaurant in Elizabeth. This place is just not it."

"This place is a hidden gem. The menu is authentic Costa Rican and Mexican cuisine and the quality of our food was outstanding. The decor is very pleasant and comfortable. Service was super friendly as well. Will definitely be coming back."

"Super friendly family business. Owner and staff could not have been more helpful. Fantastic traditional Costa Rican breakfast. Can't wait to get back to try other items."
