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 & 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! Natural and flavorful grilled foods without being spicy. 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.

Masha and Udi in a rain forest
We discovered the secret recipe that day – the secret FuegoMundo sauce that was enough to fuel our new vision. And the look on your face when you first taste your wood-fire grilled entrée with flavorful Latin spices and sides, served on a sizzling hot skillet, with homemade plantian chips, and brought to your table within 10 minutes? That will be the reason we will come to work each day!”
You will soon discover it doesn’t have to be expensive to be good.
We are building a new home at the newly redeveloped Prado Center in Sandy Springs, Georgia where you will get one-of-a-kind flavors – hearty portions of meat, chicken, fish, lamb, turkey, tofu, and grilled veggies – made-to-order on an exhibition wood-fire grill – at a great value – and a healthy meal for your family. The kids (& adults) will love to watch the fire as the food is grilled in front of your eyes.
If you want quality food with a Latin Twist that is abundant, unique, tasty, affordable and healthy, all in a casual world-class environment, then this is the place for you!
And our shared home at The Prado is an eclectic environment showcasing local South American art and culture, wine tastings, some rare Latin music, and an international staff, including the Manager Manuel from Barranquilla, Colombia, with one mission – providing you with an unforgettable experience.
Previous owners of restaurants in Atlanta, Masha Hleap-Hershkovitz, born in Barranquilla, Colombia & raised in Sandy Springs, and her husband, Udi Hershkovitz are committed to creating a unique experience you, your friends, and your family can enjoy. FuegoMundo is a place to come and enjoy the flavors, spices, culture, and wines of South America, and to simply enjoy good times. Good for meat-lovers, vegetarians, vegans, wine lovers, and art lovers too!
We can’t wait for you to become a part of the FuegoMundo Family and give you a healthy taste of South America.
