El Fuego was Chipotle before Chipotle was Chipotle.

They’ve been pumping out tacos and burritos off Washington Square for a decade now (I made that up, but it’s in that vicinity), and while the outpost at 21st and Chestnut is long gone, you can still get your Mexican fix at the original.

El Fuego does have one thing that the chains dont – chorizo. And chorizo is good.

Do you know what they don’t have though? Nachos. Sorry guys.
