Chocolate flan – Fuego Cocina y Tequileria

Chocolate flan - Fuego Cocina y Tequileria
Rich chocolate cake, almond brittle, chocolate caramel. 3 course brunch $19
Fuego Cocina y Tequileria, Arlington VA

This flan was really different. It had a really firm texture which I wasn’t a fan of. It was more like a hardened custard than a beautifully soft flan. They place it on top of the chocolate cake and drench it in sauce so this is a very thick and rich dessert. It was way too sweet and sugary for me so I wasn’t a fan.

Mexican benedict - Fuego Cocina y Tequileria
Crispy masa shells, black beans, chorizo, poached eggs, chipotle hollandaise. 3 course brunch $19
Fuego Cocina y Tequileria, Arlington VA

This tasted pretty good, but damn it was rich and filling! The masa was thick and dense and combined with the chorizo and hollandaise, but was a recipe for definite heartburn. Thank god I have a stomach of steel! Like I said, it tasted good but I think I could have done with just one of them.

Shredded bbq duck, queso oaxaca, mole negro, pickled onion. 3 course brunch $19
Fuego Cocina y Tequileria, Arlington VA

These duck flautas was pretty tasty. I loved the combination of the bbq sauce, tart pickled onions, and rich mole negro. I wasn’t a fan of the wrapper that they use though. It was too soft and greasy.

This guacamole was pretty tasty, and I liked the vibrant green color. I also thought that the nineteen dollar brunch option was great since you could choose almost anything off their regular menu.
