    La Flama food truck - My favorite smothered carnitas burritos in the world.

    Three quarters of the time I drive by the Circle K at 330 S. Alameda my favorite Mexican food truck…read more"La Flama" is parked on the access road just off of Kalamath/Santa Fe Dr. The woman who runs it with her son is as sweet as can be. More (?) importantly her burritos are outrageously good and she only charges $8 (cash, or $9 if you use a credit card) for a deliciously smothered carnitas burrito with lettuce, tomato, sour cream, green or red chile and salsa too, if you want it. Don't wanna have carnitas. No problem. All her burritos--asada, lengua (!), pollo, bistecca . . . all of them are the same $8 -- totally smothered with yumminess. Less if you like your burritos naked. The magic about the burrito? No fillers. Mainly just really flavorful and bottom line spectacular carnitas with the right small amount of seasoned rice and refritos frijoles to compliment the meatiness and richness of the dish. I'm telling you this beats the hell out of all the other 4-5 star burritos you've seen reviewed as take-out versions. They don't have a website, and the owner doesn't speak easy English, but so much the better and she gets by just fine. Stop off and treat yourself to one. So cool to be able to recommend a place that consistently serves wonderful / cheap food! Sign me, David "Muy delicioso" M
