Mexican restaurant Fuego has opened in Souk al Bahar, Dubai.
Literally meaning ‘fire’, Fuego offers fresh and authentic Mexican dishes including fajitas, tacos de azada with wagyu beef, enchiladas and burritos.
Fuego is the vision of two local hoteliers, Adarsh and Arjun Kumar who saw a gap in the UAE culinary landscape for a high-end yet casual restaurant that takes inspiration from fiery Mexico.
The brothers comment, ‘’Fuego is a breath of fresh air in Dubai’s competitive restaurant scene. We have sourced the very best Mexican chefs and have drawn from their incredible knowledge of traditional authentic dishes to build our unique menu. We aim to serve the best Mexican food in Dubai; traditional Mexican food, not Tex-Mex.’’

Fuego’s menu has been devised by chef Anil Kumar and authenticated and executed by chef de cuisine Jose Manuel Puma from Mexico City.
Highlights include Mexican favourites such as the popular seafood delicacy ‘ceviche’ alongside signature specials such as slow-cooked Lamb Shank Barbacoa and Tres Leches, a cake soaked with three stages of milk.
Chef Puma commented: "Our food is extremely diverse – as light and fresh as a seafood cocktail prepared by fishermen on the beach; as deep and complex as the moles of Oaxaca made with an astounding number of ingredients; and as earthy as the simplest homemade corn tortilla."
The 80-seat restaurant’s interiors are dominated by natural elements such as wood and stone inspired by modern Mexican architecture to provide a feast of colours, textures, and patterns.
A talking point of the space is the bar area, with a backlit onyx counter that relates back to Fuego’s “fire” concept. This bar will form an integral part of the Fuego experience serving Mexican margaritas infused with flavours that have been created exclusively for the restaurant.
The restaurant will operate from 12pm to 1am serving lunch, dinner and special Friday brunch menu.
