Masha in Latin America
It all started on a trip to Central and South America in 2008, 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 any other, a South American taste explosion! Natural and flavorful grilled foods without being spicy. The value was outstanding, the ordering was easy, the foods were healthy and delicious, 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.
We discovered the secret recipe that day – the secret FuegoMundo marinade 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 sizzling hot plates, and made-to-order in front of your eyes, with homemade plantian chips & yucca fries, and brought to your table within 10-15 minutes? That will be the reason we will come to work each day!”
We are building a new home at the newly redeveloped The Prado Center in Sandy Springs, Georgia where you will get one-of-a-kind flavors – hearty portions of meat, chicken, fish, lamb, Kobe steaks, tofu, and grilled veggies – made-to-order on an exhibition wood-fire grill – a healthy meal for you and your family. The kids (& adults) will love to watch the fire as the food is grilled in front of their eyes, and many kids even love the Cuban (and vegan) homemade black beans, and yucca fries.
If you want quality food with a Latin Twist that is abundant, unique, tasty, affordable, healthy (& certified Kosher), 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, unique Latin music, and an international staff, including Jewish born Owner & Chef, Masha from Barranquilla, Colombia, with one mission – providing you with an unforgettable experience.

We had an amazing meal at Fuego Mundo – great room, amazing service and outstanding food. We were a party of seven who came for the kosher food and will return every time we are in Atlanta. Great job!
