text: I found the service here attentive and timely but have to share some sentiments with other unimpressed Yelpers about the mediocrity of the dining experience I was introduced to Fuego Bistro by my roommate who had purchased a Groupon without knowing anything about the restaurantnnIt has a charming vibe it is off the beaten path in a quirky courtyard bordered by a salon and dance studio But the food was unremarkable not by any means inedible but rather forgettable I felt the restaurant concept was a little confused given the choice of sides which do not necessarily pair well with every entree I had the seared ahi tuna which was topped with a balsamic reduction and a mangored pepperavocado salsa It was cooked properly but underseasoned except for the balsamic reduction which was nothing but sweet Perhaps the blandness of this dish could be remedied with chili and lime and salt but regardless it did not deliver on taste I chose to have the chipotle cheddar mashed potatoes and sauteed green beans as side dishes The green beans were the best of the two simple and tender but the potatoes were lacking in flavor Chipotle was only hinted at and the cheese was entirely understated I know there has to be a way to elevate this food but Fuego has fallen short nnMy roommate was in agreement that the meal was not a hit Even the Key Lime Pie for dessert did not make the grade I see potential in this restaurant since the staff is friendly and helpful But ultimately it is about the food and I cannot recommend it The only saving grace was that we did not pay full price
