Light my fuego?

Despite the giant, beyond cheesy sombrero topping the doorway to the kitchen and this guy (we like to call him Pedro) guarding the entrance, Fuego Mexican Grill & Margarita Bar in Arlington Heights earned a two-star rating from Tribune critic Phil Vettel earlier this month. This place has always been crazy busy, so we weren't surprised to find the place packed from wall to wall at 7 p.m. Here's our report, in brief:

The wait: 75 minutes.
The bar: 3 people deep.
Nearby spot we hung out at while waiting: Big Shot Piano Lounge
Could have done without: The banquet hall-like chicken-vegetable soup served before every entree. Seriously, why bother?
Number of times a member of our party's path was blocked by the tableside guacamole cart: 5
Margarita of choice: Passionfruit. Best ever.
