Contemporary Latin Cuisine at Fuego
02.29.16
One of our favorite hidden gems in Long Beach is the secluded Hotel Maya and its waterfront restaurant, Fuego. It’s more tropical resort than city hotel with 400 palm trees, and an indoor-outdoor design.
The restaurant specializes in the coastal cuisine of Latin America created by award-winning Executive Chef Victor Juarez. Fuego’s indoor-outdoor dining area offers spectacular views of downtown Long Beach and the Queen Mary. Anytime of the year, it’s a local’s favorite for fresh seafood--shrimp, oysters, mussels, lobster and tangy ceviche. They also offer an array of appetizers, as well as tacos, tortas and entrées.
It’s the perfect place in Long Beach to enjoy a handcrafted margaritas, or signature cocktails, with tasty foods, while soaking in the view. Fuego also hosts a festive outdoor brunch featuring Baja-style seafood and savory barbeque with live Latin Jazz.
Fuego is also one of the nearly 50 participating restaurants in Dine Out Long Beach, Restaurant Week 2.0 from February 28- March 5. Chef Juarez has created a special prix-fixe menu lunch menu for $20 per person, and a dinner menu at $40 per person. Tax and gratuity not included. You can view the menu here.
For the starter, we recommend the Fuego guacamole, with fired tortilla chips, lime cilantro, shaved onions and pico de gallor; and the spicy chicken tortilla soup with shredded chicken, roasted tomatoes, cotija cheese, and fried corn tortilla strips; or Oaxacan Style Queso Fundido with smoked chipotle chicken tinga, cheese fondue, and grilled banquette
For an entrée, choose one of the following: Seafood Crepas, filled crêpes with jumbo lump crab meat and rock shrimp roasted poblano sauce, black bean corn relish, steamed rice; or fillet of salmon with ancho chili and honey glazed fillet of salmon, spicy black bean sauce jalapeno crème, sautéed greens; Pollo a la Parilla, a Fuego chili rubbed chicken breast, poblano ginger sauce, caramelized sweet plantains, and steak potatoes.
For dessert, you can choose between the Flourless Molten Chocolate Cake, a moist dark chocolate cake with truffle chocolate melt; or Caramel Mexican Flan with vanilla custard, cinnamon crisp and seasonal berries.
Open for breakfast 6 a.m. to 11 a.m. Monday through Friday; brunch from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sunday; open for lunch 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Saturday; open for dinner 5 to 10 p.m. Sunday through Thursday; 5 p.m. to 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday.
Fuego at the Maya is at 700 Queensway Drive in Long Beach. 562.481.3910.
