The servers are very friendly and smile no matter how busy it is! The Recession menu is awesome for locals and has a few vegetarian and vegan options which is not very common for a Mexican restaurant or bar. Highly recommended!

The 908 has always been a go-to when celebrating an occasion or sharing a favorite spot with a friend or family. This time was celebrating a birthday and our visit was excellent. Our server, Tu was outstanding and very attentive as well as pleasant. She gave excellent suggestions as well. My favorite short ribs lived up to the hype, per my family. Thank you 908 staff for always being professional and friendly. Keep it up!

Food was really good. I had the shrimp and cheese tacos. The service was not good. We had to ask for everything and our appetizer came at the same time as our food.

At the heart of our culinary philosophy is an unwavering commitment to make every meal an extraordinary experience. Fuego-which is Spanish for fire-is a spirited celebration of the coastal cuisines of Mexico, Latin America and South America.

With a vibrantly colored indoor-outdoor dining room overlooking panoramic views of downtown Long Beach and the historic Queen Mary, Fuego is an amazing restaurant in Long Beach CA that specializes in mariscos (fresh seafood). Also featured is a generous array of antojitos (appetizers), as well as tacos, tortas and entrées.
