Born in a firehouse, reborn in fire. Honcho Fuego is where bold Latin flavors ignite against an open flame. Street tacos, flavor-loaded pizzas, and house-made salsas set the stage, while margarita sloshies and craft cocktails keep the night cool. Rooted in tradition but always pushing forward, we serve up a menu that’s as lively as the town itself—vibrant, smoky, and full of energy. Whether you’re grabbing a taco, settling in with a mezcal, or wrapping things up with a chocolate bumpy cake, Honcho Fuego is here to turn up the heat in downtown Fenton.

Competitive pay and benefits including medical and supplemental insurance, on-demand pay, 401(k) and PTO!
