Master Critic Review
Fuego Logan Square
7.7
Opened in 2025, Fuego Logan Square is a family-owned Latin restaurant and bar with a global twist, where Spanish-influenced plates, tacos, and pastas share space with a serious cocktail and margarita program. Long hours, a DJ on weekends, and outdoor seating make it a choice for nights that lean more toward drinks, music, and sharable plates than a traditional, quiet Spanish dinner.
Must-Try Dishes:
Fish Tacos, Margarita Flight, Poblano Spaghetti with Chicken

Insider tip: Check for special event nights and arrive early if you want patio seating before the DJ starts and the space fills.
Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking in the surrounding Logan Square blocks; generally easier earlier in the evening but can be competitive after 7pm. No reliable valet — expect to circle or use rideshare on busy weekends.
Dress code: Casual to smart casual — jeans and sneakers are fine, but many guests lean dressy on weekends when the DJ is on.
Noise level: Loud during peak and late-night hours with music and DJ; conversation is easier earlier in the evening or on weeknights.
Weekend wait: 30–60 minutes without a reservation during prime hours, especially after 8pm when the vibe shifts toward nightlife.
Weekday lunch: Typically no wait when lunch service is offered — hours can vary, so checking ahead is smart.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes — several small plates and pasta dishes can be ordered vegetarian or easily modified; confirm preparation with staff.
Vegan options: Limited — expect a small number of options or modifiable plates; ask about substitutions and sauces.
Gluten-free options: Partial coverage — tacos and some proteins can be made gluten-leaning, but there is no dedicated gluten-free prep area.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Better for a fun, high-energy date than a quiet, getting-to-know-you dinner. Earlier seatings work if you want more conversation; late nights skew loud and social.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Often yes if you arrive early or are flexible with bar or patio seating. On weekends after 8pm, expect a wait or join the list and plan to stay nearby.
Is it kid-friendly? Reasonable for families earlier in the evening, but not ideal late at night once the DJ and nightlife crowd take over; no dedicated kids’ menu or play space.
Best For
Better for: Lively nights out with cocktails, DJ energy, and shareable plates where the atmosphere and music are part of the experience.
Skip if: You want a quiet, traditional Spanish dinner, white-tablecloth service, or a conversation-forward meal without loud music.
