Masha in Latin America

It all started on a trip to Central and South America in 2008.

Udi and I stopped by a restaurant in Panama City, while on a tour of the Panama Canal and Rainforests of Panama, and that’s where it happened. The vision for FuegoMundo was born. Sometimes, you just never know when these things will strike…

We had a dining experience that we won’t ever forget. We tasted grilled foods unlike anything we had ever experienced, a South American taste explosion. The value was outstanding, the ordering was easy, and the customer experience was fast, warm, friendly. These were amongst the few things we wanted others to enjoy – to benefit from – to celebrate life with.

And that’s why we are bringing FuegoMundo to you.

We discovered the secret recipe that day – the secret FuegoMundo sauce that was enough to power our new vision. And the look on your face when you first taste your grilled entrée with flavorful Latin spices, served on a sizzling hot skillet, with sautéed mushrooms & onions, and brought to your table within 10 minutes? That will be the reason we will come to work each day! You will soon understand why it doesn’t have to be expensive to be good!

We are building a new home at The Prado where you will get one-of-a-kind flavors – large portions of meat, chicken, fish and veggies – made-to-order in front of your eyes on an exhibition wood-fire grill – at a great value – and a healthy meal for your family. If you want quality food with a Latin Twist that is abundant, unique, tasty and healthy, without taking a bite out of your wallet, then this is the place for you!

And our shared home at The Prado will be an eclectic environment showcasing local South American art, wine tastings, some rare Latin music, and an international staff, including the Manager Manuel from Colombia, with one mission – providing you with an unforgettable experience.

You will soon discover it doesn’t have to be expensive to be good.

We can’t wait for you to become a part of the FuegoMundo story too, and give you a Taste of South America.
