Since today is Cinco de Mayo, we thought a trip to the area’s newest Mexican restaurant would be the perfect stop.

And so it’s off we go on yet another Scott Turley Road Trip to this Mexican destination!

Bar Number 110: Fuego Bar & Grill, Fuego Bar & Grill, Sunday May 3, 2026

There he is, the MBIP Wheelman, Scott Turley behind the wheel and steering us to tonight’s Mexican destination in Morton, Illinois…

Fuego Bar & Grill. This place just opened up a couple of weeks ago and Scott’s been here already and gave it high recommendations!

And there’s the famous Turley t-shirt for those of you that have been missing it!

Let’s go in and start our Cinco de Mayo celebration!

They have a nice bar in here and as you can see, Scott’s already settled in. Let’s go join him!

Here’s the pretty and friendly owner of Fuego Bar & Grill, Nancy at the end of the bar.

She said business has been great since they opened and things couldn’t be going any better. That’s great to hear!

Brandon was the friendly bartender on duty and here he is serving me up a large margarita. I love the taco stirrer in the drink!

Scott started off with a bottle of Modelo Mexican beer. Cheers!

Our meal started off with some fresh chips and salsa. That salsa was so tasty and had just the right amount of heat and spice. We’re off to a fantastic start in here!

Here’s the trio of beers on tap behind the bar.

Scott and I split an order of the ChoriQueso for an appetizer.

This is Mexican Sausage in a sea of Queso Blanco. It was rich and so tasty!

Behold the Turley sip!

Scott switched over to a margarita after the appetizer.

There’s a nice and spacious dining area in front of the bar.

There’s also a nice screened-in patio out here to enjoy your food and drinks at.

Meanwhile, back at the bar…

Our dinners have arrived!

Scott got a combination Taco and Burrito dinner with rice and beans and I got the Potter’s Special which is slices of steak and grilled onions on a bed of Mexican rice and topped off with melted Queso Blanco.

Everything looks fantastic, time to dig in!

There’s Scott leaning in for that Turley bite of his taco!

The Potter’s Special was absolutely delicious!

The steak was tender and savory and the Mexican rice, grilled onions and the melted Queso Blanco complimented it perfectly. It was a rich and tasty treat. It was also served with fresh warm tortillas, so I also made a little burrito out of the dish!

Fuego Bar & Grill is a wonderful new restaurant and I highly recommend you go and try it out. You won’t be disappointed!

Thanks to Scott for driving and hanging out for the afternoon, it was a blast!

Happy Cinco de Mayo everbody!
