The salsa is very very mild. The chips were crispy. We both had beef chimichangas. They were ground beef, not shredded beef. The rice was really tasty. I don't care for beans so skip them. They had some lettuce and tomatoes with sour cream to go on the chimichanga. The tomato was way too out of season so I didn't eat it. I just had water and my meal came to nine dollars. The waitress was attentive & checked in on us a couple of times. The place is huge so bring the whole gang.!

The seafood (fish & shrimp) tacos on flour shells were awesome! I really liked them. My husband had the Chimichanga lunch and he thought it was very good. Second visit I had the Lunch #1.

The free chips and salsa were excellent each visit.

The small dining room seats 22 and the buildout is all new inside. The service is great and the food is great. I had the birrias tacos and a plate of chips & salsa. I have seen birrias tacos on the menu at a restaurant only one other time and they are a real treat. The Flame's version of that dish was fantastic. I always enjoy when the chef asks me "how is the food" and I tell him (in this case) muy bien. The stream of take out food was constant during the time I was here. It was a Wednesday night. So that tells me the neighborhood has caught on to this place. If you staying in a hotel and sick of looking at the chain restaurants, make the drive and treat yourself to birrias tacos. Cheers!

The tropical salmon crunch bowl is full of fresh vegetables, perfectly grilled salmon and a crunchy slightly fruity sauce. Jody's shrimp tacos were packed with juicy shrimp and pineapple. Everything was sizzling hot and really fresh and flavorful. Highly recommend!
