Formerly the Argentinan restaurant named Che!!, on the East side of the Intracoastal across from Deck 84 I was a great fan of Che!!, and reviewed it here on Yelp some time ago Great Mexican food Amazing location, on the water facing West so the setting sun casts its magical red glow across the outside bar Service was always good and it still is! Very reasonably priced, given the location Go - you will not be disappointed

I'm giving Del Fuego 4/5 though I think it's closer 4.5/5. The food was quite tasty. It's not the type of place that offers items like mole - for that you can try Roccos Tacos or El Camino further west on The Ave. Del Fuego has a very nicely adorned and laid out Tex-Mex themed interior. The true gift of the restaurant is that it's on the west side of the Intercostal where you can dine in view of the beautiful Floridian sunsets. It's across the water from Deck 84. We had the chicken fajitas and burrito plate (no tortilla), side of rice and beans and guacamole. The jalapeño corn bread was good, too. We sent the espresso martini back, too sweet. The chips and salsa were okay, not great. I thought the sauce was too watery and tasteless and the chips were mediocre (the chips and salsa are your first impression). I will definitely go back to Del Fuego, the food was good and it's a good value (not overly expensive like so many other restaurants in the area). I think the service could have been better, tho our server was helped by the other floating staff which fill-in the gaps. One of the challenges is that the restaurant is tucked away in back of the roadside building and I don't think many people will notice it driving and/or walking by (on their way to/from the beach). Maybe a small sign somewhere and good advertising could help. The fact that they're over the bridge could be a mental barrier, but maybe not as the walk across the bridge is quite scenic (it cries date-night) and again, the outdoor seating and view is a huge plus.

One of the newest restaurants in Delray, and it is my favorite food group: Mexican! Loved the way they decorated this spot, and the water views were perfection. I would definitely come back here with friends! Our server was very attentive and even provided some good recommendations. Note that I think the prices here are a tad on the high end, but the food is good! It wouldn't be a Mexican restaurant without starting out with chips and salsa! The salsa here is a bit spicy, which I like! The spicy margarita was also delicious! I got the chicken fajitas (my go-to at any Mexican restaurant) and my fiancé got the burger. We both really enjoyed our meals. This place has a couple huge bars and plenty of TVs to watch sports or other events. It is quite a large spot with both indoor and outdoor seating. We sat outdoors and the view was great! I hope people enjoy it as much as I did! Can't wait to try out more menu items!!

Burritos & Chicken Cassa. Excellent! Service excellent also. The girls had skinny margaritas which they really enjoyed.

5-star. Impressive. Excellent. This place is underrated. First, owners and / or investors have put a ton of money into this place. It's a striking facility and no attention to detail is lacking. You'll get a sense of the ambiance from the pictures below. It's beautifully done. Second, the staff is superb if not superlative -- across the board. Staff members help one another out. All are sharp and attentive. You won't sit around in this restaurant waiting for your busy waiter to attend to you. Someone, even the manager, will stop by and ask how you are doing and whether you need anything. This place exudes teamwork and, at its best. Kudos. Third, few among us visit a restaurant for the ambiance. We want tasty if not scrumptious food. And, these place offers up the latter in spades. If you read our foodie reviews you'll know we're all about price-performance. None of us can unring the bell of inflation and the impact its had on businesses and this one is no exception. It' a new restaurant but prices are in line with what is charged across the country now for good Tex-Mex food. Fourth, the food. Ah yes, that's why we are here. The Carne Asada is superb. Ask for medium rare, unless so doing runs counter to your tastes, as it is superb. We eaten here twice and the the cuts of flank steak are not tough or stringy. They are a delight to the palate. The Shrimp Fajita dish is a welcome entree for those who want the Tex-Mex experience but who don't feel like a meat entree. The Chili Bellino presents as two Pablano peppers stuffed with rice in a bean mole sauce smothered in a quesadilla cheese melt-- it's spicy and hot but not Jalapeno hot -- and worth a try for those who want something different. The Pablano peppers will awaken your constitution for certain. Now for the appetizers. The Octopus is very tasty. I wish there was more of this scrumptious critter on the platter. The Nacho platter is for gluttons and yes, I was happy to lead the way for adventurers at our table. Oh, and a word about desserts. The flan is, as many say today, "... to die for ..." (I'm not sure I like Flan that much but it is a current expression in the foodie lexicon). And, the chocolate fudge brownie with a dopple of vanilla ice cream on tops with chocolate syrup and an accent of mint leaf really is to die for. Are there downsides? Not many. Here's a few minor mentions. 1. The bar does not serve frozen margaritas and I would have preferred to have one in this hot climate. But, you'll find a dizzying array of specialty drinks on the menu. Prices are a bit high but I suppose that's the norm for the current economic climate in the country. 2. The chips and dip are very good but the chips are not those paper-thin, fresh, tasty homemade chips from the resident chip machine that you'll find in places like the Uncle Julio's chain. But they were still a pleasure to try. 3. The entrees on the menu are limited in comparison to some other Tex-Mex places. But, keep in mind, this place is called a "kitchen" -- not a restaurant -- and while it surely is the latter, we must presume an intentionality behind the name and infer is had an impact on the offerings. The menu is replete with a diverse assortment of offerings overall and you're sure to find something you like here. Go and enjoy!

I love this location. A beautiful, open space with a large covered backporch right on the Intracoastal, across the bridge slightly apart from the hubbub of downtown, and free parking in an actual lot behind the building. This is a newish restaurant in a spot that has had quite some turnover in the past. I came here wanting to take my visiting family from out of town to a waterfront dinner spot without a reservation. We were aiming for Deck84, but decided to try out Del Fuego instead, which is directly opposite that restaurant. What I was not expecting was this was the perfect place to bring my kids. We were seated at the most perfect spot, at the North end of the back patio, directly next to one of the dock entrances, which has wooden fences along it. My children loved looking at the water to spot crabs, fish, etc, and because our table was so close, they were able to very happily be on the dock walkway while the adults lingered at the table. In this case, the beauty of the water, the novelty of watching wildlife and boats pull up, and the ability to let antsy children move their bodies as each of us took turns taking them on a walk around the dock, was so perfect. The dock has benches on it with brand new looking red cushions. I highly encourage Del Fuego to take advantage of this! My kids go to school in Delray, so I will definitely be checking out their happy hour (aka afterschool specials) menu, now that I know my kids love being there. There are only 3 items on the kids menu: chicken fingers with a million fries and 2 other things I can't remember. Needless to say, my kids filled up on the endless tortilla chips and endless-that-night pink lemonade cups (served child friendly in a clear plastic cup with a lid and straw), so it was doggy bags for their leftovers. Our waiter was awesome, so friendly and helpful, and he spoke Spanish to my Spanish-speaking in-laws. The endless complimentary salsa and chips was very generous. We ordered the guacamole, which looked kind of small but actually was appropriate for our table, though it lacked salt rather severely (an easy fix tho!). We all ordered different things. I had the taco beef quesadilla, and it was quite good! A tiny dollop of sour cream, but I assume if I had requested more I would have received it. Thank you for having a creative and robust 'mocktails and lemonade' section on the menu. I had an INCREDIBLE mocktail- pink, fizzy, delicious- I am craving one right now just writing about it: the 'Cactus Fizz,' with prickly pear, hibiscus, lemon, and ginger beer. Last but not least, the decor in the front lobby is super fun, and they definitely go down for best decorated women's bathroom, with a Frida Kahlo tribute and even ceiling decorations. Peaceful waterfront view, eats that everyone can enjoy, very happy children, and a drink to remember = sweet!

Del Fuego is hands down my new favorite restaurant. With El Camino and Rocco's right down the street, I thought it was a bold choice opening up another restaurant that attracts a similar crowd. However, after one meal here I'm sold! The decor is unreal. They took this location and completely transformed it! You can tell a great amount of thought , effort, and time went into every detail . Even the bathrooms are decked out with colors, art, patterns, and photos! The food? Incredible. It's a little on the pricey side compared to its competitor, but everything was very fresh and totally worth it. The taco was incredible and I really liked that they offer both corn or flour tortillas and give you the choice hard or soft. Their yuca was wonderfully crispy and came with a delicious dipping sauce. Every at my table left fed and happy! Their drink menu is UNREAL. They have so many tasty drinks to choose from. While I am pregnant and can't enjoy a cocktail, I really appreciated their variety of mocktails! I have ordered mocktails at many different places, and none have even come close to how delicious my drinks here were. Once again, knocked it out of the park ! My absolute ONLY complaint is that they advertise for happy hour (and it even says printed on the menu food and drink specials), but they are not currently offering any happy hour specials. My friends and I actually changed our dinner time to earlier so we could get some happy hour bites and save a dime , only to be told they aren't offering any discounts on food yet. They either need to add some happy hour snacks as advertised, or take that off the menu and promotional flyer.

Service is 5 star+ as everyone was super nice and helpful. We would come back for that alone because usually newbie restaurants have issues with this. Not the case here. Lunie at the front of the house is super sweet with a great smile. Crispy chips are brought out with a salsa in the cutest chili pepper bowl. (Idk what happened to my pic!) I'm not a fan of the salsa... too sweet and smoky for me. I prefer a more tomato spicy pepper forward sauce but hey to each his own. We came in for happy hour and the house margaritas are 1/2 off and $3 off specialty margaritas and other drinks. The spicy Margarita i had was just ok. As of yet no food discounts are offered. July 7th they will open up to include lunch and perhaps add food discounts into their happy hour. We decided to split the Carne Asada meal ($31), which is a good sized piece of steak on top of jalapeño cornbread with peppers. We ordered it medium rare and it came out closer to rare which was fine by me. It was tender and had a good flavor. I would prefer a more substantial side (rice? beans?) for the price but it was good overall. Bianca was a terrific server and we would return just to get her again. I hope they do well here. They will definitely give the competition up the road a run for their money.
