He sings the praises of Del Fuego Taqueria's queso fundido, saying, "Cutting through the brown top-crust to lift portions onto warmed tortillas, the fundido looked more like south-of-the-border moussaka - or a spicy, pasta-less lasagna - than a dip. I was impressed by the tacos that followed, but I would have been just as happy eating another round of Wright's unexpectedly elegant take on cheesy Mexican comfort food." [NOLA.com]
