Few things I dislike more than when you have a memory of dish that you loved and it haunts you to the point that you have to go back to the restaurant to order it again and you're faced with utter disappointment. That's my story with Fuego Tacos. \n\nTwo years ago I wrote about the awesome spicy veggie tacos at this joint. Man, they were good!!! Despite numerous trips back to Phoenix since that time, I was never able to make it back to Fuego despite that craving for the tacos. Lo and behold, I finally get an opportunity to go back and now I wish I hadn't.\n\nI was suspicious that something had changed because the menu descibed the tacos as being housed in a crispy shell. That's not at all what I remembered. I recalled a melange of hot, spicy veggies cased in a warm corn tortilla. I even asked the waitress who haughtily informed me that the veggie tacos had always come in a hard shell. Hmmm.... that should have been my clue. I figured maybe the shell won't make a big difference. Wrong. What I received instead was cold cabbage and other unrecognizable cold \"stuff\" jammed into a taco shell with shredded cheese on top. Not the least bit appetizing and not at all what I remembered! I was extremely disappointed. \n\nThe only reason I gave a 3-star rating this time is because the chips and salsa were decent. I'm sure some of the other tacos are too but that veggie mess needs to go!
