The first thing that you can see when entering Entre Fuegos, is the peculiar elegant and functional decoration and interior design, it could be described as a fusion of rupestrian, minimalist and sober styles taken to its most luxurious version.

They have a great cave of approximately 350 wine labels, as well as the great aging chamber of cuts of meat that is just to the side, both completely visible from any point of the restaurant. Once the impact of these details has passed, the attention falls on the kitchen, which is semi-open to the diner, so it is possible to see the chefs maneuvering with food.

There is a large salad bar to prepare them to taste, as well as a cocktail cart that runs through the restaurant to the taste of the diner. The good cuisine of Entre Fuegos is defined as international, specialized as its name suggests, in grilled dishes and cuts of meat that are of the best quality, recognized as Prime Sonora, Prime Select and Australian Wagyu type, in addition, the dry cuts in the chamber, for periods of between 21 and 28 days make the whole experience more gourmet.
