Our Grill

At Fuego Santo, fire runs the kitchen. We cook over charcoal, with generous cuts and Argentinian tradition brought to the Mexican Caribbean. Everything that leaves our grill has been given the embers, the time and the patience a great cut deserves.

Starters

Empanadas

Fried or oven-baked, made golden to order. Choose your filling: knife-cut rib eye, spinach and cheese, ham and cheese, or spicy beef.

Argentinian Chorizo

Grilled over the embers until the skin turns golden and snaps, keeping all the juice inside. The way every proper grill begins.

Morcilla (Blood Sausage)

Creamy, well-spiced and finished over charcoal. A non-negotiable classic of the Argentinian table.

Trio of Bone Marrow

Three roasted marrow bones, each prepared with its own essence: roasted garlic, rosemary and habanero. Served with corn tortillas and charred habanero chili in lime juice and salt.

Calamari on the Rock

Calamari breaded to order, finished with Parmesan cheese and served with our Roca dressing.

Our Cuts

Approximate raw weight.

Vacío (Flap Steak) · Full order 1000 g · Individual 400 g

The signature cut of the Argentinian grill. Deep flavor, firm texture and the layer of fat that keeps it juicy from first bite to last.

Picaña (Top Sirloin Cap) · Full order 1200 g · Individual 400 g

A generous fat cap that seals over the fire and locks every drop of juice inside. One of the great house favorites.

New York Strip · Individual 400 g

Bold grain and intense flavor, seared over charcoal to keep the center tender.

Rib Eye · Individual 400 g

The most marbled cut on our menu. The intramuscular fat melts over the embers and gives it an unmistakable tenderness.

Arrachera (Skirt Steak) · Individual 400 g

Thin, smooth and concentrated in flavor. Quick over the fire and full of character.

Lemon Chicken Breast · Individual 300 g

Charcoal-grilled chicken breast with a citrus touch that keeps it light and juicy.
