   Visiting from out of state for work so I picked this place on a whim (and because of great reviews). SO glad I did. I’m a foodie, so it takes quite a bit to impress me. I was definitely impressed with DEL FUEGO. Every server in the place helped me, as it seems they all work together. Salsas were amazing. Tacos were incredible. Restaurant was clean with a great vibe. I may make this my dinner spot again tonight!

   I brought a friend to eat at Del Fuego for her first time and we all enjoyed our meal. She definitely said she will return when she’s back in town. We had margaritas, trio salsa, grilled chicken and grilled shrimp quesadillas. Absolutely delicious and great friendly service as always

   The ceviche was really huge in portion but didn't seem seasoned. Really miss having a Gulf fish other than catfish.

   This is one of those restaurants tucked out of the way of publicity and geography that stands out simply because the food is good, the ambience laid back with friendly service. I don't eat Mexican food often but the next time I do, we'll return.

   Too much noise from the bar next door. Food was great and servers were very nice. Not a fan of the 22% mandatory living wage(tip). Always tip 20% but that’s a turnoff. Will go again in spite of that.

   Hi Jan, We’re sorry for the commotion next door. They’re a rowdy bunch for their Friday crawfish boils. The 22% living wage service charge is not a tip but a service charge shared equally & fairly b/w the entire staff from front to back of house, dish to host. It’s separate from the price of menu items so guests see where it is going, to our staff. You may add a tip to your heart’s desire, but it’s not necessary. We hope you have a wonderful weekend!

    Last night my wife and I had the opportunity to dine here. This was our first time. We were heading to a party Uptown and decided to have dinner before heading to the party. I researched Del Fuego and immediately chose them by their Pay It Forward on the menu. We arrived and were sat immediately. The hostess pointed to the living wage policy in the table. I already knew about this since I researched Del Fuego before choosing to eat here. To start we ordered The Straight Up Guacamole and Empanada. Very good start. For the main course, my wife had a Chicken Quesadilla and for me a New Mexico Style Stacked Enchiladas subbing shrimp for chicken. The shrimp was fresh and meal was delicious. The service was on point. I will definitely be back and conclude by pointing out two things. The menu is executed perfectly. The proprietors are real leaders. They ask for your help to feed the homeless and to ensure their staff can make enough to feed and house their families. We need more places like this in NOLA.

    We made our reservation on a Friday, before heading to a show at Tip’s. Everything was amazing, or should I say, Amazeballs!!! They are soooo good! I went hard with the Thanksgiving burrito, the Holiday Hangover, which was everything I could have dreamt of to satisfy my seasonal cravings, minus family yelling about football, politics, etc.. Friends got tacos and a quesadilla. Washed it all down with a Christmas-y Cranberry Satsuma Margarita. Yummers!!!

    BEWARE parents with children!! DF is requiring ALL indoor diners to have a COVID vax or neg test REGARDLESS of age. Yes, babies and toddlers not eligible for the vaccine are NOT allowed to dine indoors. Cooler weather is here. Do NOT plan on eating at DF. We have been loyal patrons for 3 years….not again.

    Hello Erin, Since the Delta variant when the city mandate began, we have required proof of COVID Vax or negative COVID test w/in 72 hours for everyone to dine inside REGARDLESS OF AGE. We know too many people of all ages who have passed away from COVID the past year and a half. We will continue our safety policy for our staff, family and guests, especially for the kids and elderly who are more vulnerable to this terrible virus. Have a happy holiday and please stay safe.

    Del Fuego never disappoints. The loaded guacamole is a favorite and all of the different salsas too. The burritos are my favorite and you can always get it as a chimichanga too! Patio dining is awesome.

    Del Fuego is definitely a step up from most Mexican restaurants. Overall, the quality of their food tends to be more gourmet than most. I highly recommend that you try "all the salsa", an appetizer option that lets you sample all 8 of their freshly made salsas. They also do a wonderfully fresh guacamole that can be customized with a number of optional additions. I typically get the tacos here, and they never disappoint.

    Great food and service. Loved that they were adhering to all Covid protocols, we felt very safe. Ryanne and Robert were our servers, and they, and our burritos and chimichangas, were out of this world! (I may have also put down a boat of queso on my own 😉)

    We really enjoy the margaritas on a Friday after work. Seafood platter is a good deal since you get enough for four tacos when you go with the grilled fish and you get beans and rice. Churros are tasty withe the blueberry sauce.
