Fuego Azteca
Erie, CO
Caesar's Take
If you are looking for that classic, feel-good neighborhood Mexican spot where the chips are warm and the portions are massive, this is your place. Tucked right into downtown Erie, it has a totally relaxed, vibrant atmosphere filled with cozy booths that make it an easy go-to for a casual night out.
Signature move
Ordering one of their famously massive, heavy-pouring Jumbo Margaritas to kick off the meal. The bartenders here do not skimp on the tequila, meaning just one of these oversized glasses is usually more than enough to get the night started
What to order
Grab the heavily smothered, massive Azteca Burrito, which is an absolute favorite for anyone with a huge appetite. If you want something different, their crispy, traditional Chile Rellenos are superb and pair perfectly with their fresh house-made guacamole.
Patio
They have a small, pleasant outdoor seating section out front that sits right along Briggs Street. It is a fantastic spot to enjoy a cold drink on a warm evening, especially if you like people-watching and catching the breeze.

Good to know
The absolute chaos of the weekend dinner rush, as the dining room is on the smaller side and the booths fill up quickly with local families. If you don't show up early on a Friday or Saturday night, you will likely find yourself waiting by the entrance for a table.
Go here for the experience
The room, food, and atmosphere are the draw here, not a discount window.
