Del Fuego South, Babylon

Well with all this hot weather and humidity we have been having it has been unbearable cooking at home so the hubby gave me a night off and we decided to go to the newly opened Del Fuego located in Babylon Village. We did not think we were going to be dining there once we arrived and saw how many people were in the restaurant. I definitely thought the wait was going to be very long but we only waited 15 minutes to be seated. It is not a very large restaurant, it has some tables in the front then a nice bar area and some seating towards the back. The bar has an Insane list of over 50 Tequila's. We both liked the decor of the restaurant, very friendly and relaxed atmosphere.
We started with Turkey Chorizo Chili and the BBQ Pork Fried Wontons. The main dishes were the Skirt Steak Fajita for the hubby and I opted for the Beef Brisket Tacos. Once again because hubby was the designated driver he was stuck with a tall glass of water while I indulged in their homemade Sangria.
Like everyone else; they have their own very different twist on Chili. I happened to thoroughly enjoy it because it had a sweet base with a fiery finish on the other hand Hubby thought it was good but he prefers not to have anything sweet if it is not a dessert. The consistency was loose and borderline soupy not to say that it was not good but it is just that we prefer a denser chili consistency. As far as the Wontons once again hubby was slightly disappointed because of the sweet factor and I enjoyed them as much as the chili. I really enjoyed the Mango BBQ sauce that was served with the wontons and yes he thought it was too sweet. After specifying our hatred of Cilantro, hubby's Skirt Steak was marinated in Cilantro. That said even though the portion was small with the Cilantro factor it seemed to be never ending. The horrible taste of Cilantro stayed with him until the following day. I on the other hand really enjoyed my pick of entrees. The brisket was moist, tender and cooked to perfection. It was served in a soft shell taco (you can order it with either a hard shell or soft) and it was complimented perfectly by the Pablano Aioli and Mexican cheese. It is a nice place that I highly recommend for anyone to try for a good drink and Tex-Mex meal.

For this visit they earned 3 out of 5 forks.
