Sharing our love of South American barbecue

Southern Fuegos was born from a deep love of South America and the desire to share the magic of asado with Kiwis. Inspired by the grilling masters in South America, we set out to share the joy and camaraderie that asado brings.

Where every grill tells a story and every meal is an adventure

We understand the essence of barbecue lies not just in the food itself, but in the experience — the laughter of friends, the warmth of the fire, and the timeless rituals that connect us to our past and to each other.

We believe that good food has the power to unite people, and we are committed to bringing that belief to life with every grill we light.
