The price was another thing that really surprised me since when you bought a bigger size of ceviche can go up to more than $60 to my surprise this place give me a very good deal which I do appreciate. This place has been in my head the whole week, servers are very kind patience and give you a lot of options so you can get what you want, after ordering my ceviche I went inside the restaurant now which is the building and they have one section of only ice cream lollipops oh my God they have three times more options than any other places. If you go around where the tables are outside, you will see a little window where you can order any kind of Agua fresca and other snack snack. please go and visit this restaurant. This is a very unique Mexican flavor restaurant You will be amazed by the variety and the taste of the food. they have plenty of parking lot, but I've heard that they can run out of parking lot since a lot of people can come in and out but most people do order and takeout since this Restaurant do not have an AC.

What I really liked was that it didn't feel like some overly polished chain trying to imitate Hawaiian food. It felt authentic, welcoming, and like somebody's aunty was actually in the back making sure nobody left hungry. And trust me... you're NOT leaving hungry. The portions are no joke. Come with an appetite, maybe skip breakfast, and definitely don't wear your tightest pants. Great food, good vibes, and a place I'd absolutely come back to. Aunty Maile's understood the assignment.

My partner got the Belly something, but his box consisted of lemon pepper and honey BBQ wings with buffalo ranch fries . The food was SO GOOD!

What we ordered: I ordered the Flyin' Slider Trio with Chili Zing sauce. These were fantastic! The sauce was spicy but not overpowering. The cole slaw was tasty. The chicken was hanging off the sides of the bun. They give a very generous portion. I also got the corn poppers with lemon pepper seasoning. When the menu says corn "popperS," I thought I'd get more than one. The fact that they charged $4.00 for a half ear of corn is ridiculous. I was even madder because it was delicious! It was breaded and deep fried. The breading was great and ensured that the corn wasn't oily. If the serving was two, I would feel like I kind of got my money's worth, but not one. I'd never get that again. My husband got the 10-piece wings with half garlic parm and half lemon pepper. He said the wings were big and fried to perfection. He loved them. He also got fries. They were $4.00 for a pediatric serving size. Overall, the meal was very good. The main items were worth the price, but they really charge too much for the sides considering their size. I'd go back to support them, but please hold the sides...

So talked about good timing! I stayed in the car while Hubbers put in his orders. It wasn't long before he was back in the car. Tacos were delicious. I tend to do away with the usual al pastor/asada and went for lengua and suadero. Both cooked tender and very minimal game taste. I tried the al pastor and that was packed with flavor. Hubbers opted against the fresh made tortillas but still delish. HEADS UP: there is an up-charge if you opt for the fresh made tortillas. Also got an horchata which was delish and a good drink to wash it all down. FOOD: 4. SERVICE: 3. VALUE: 2.5. Hubbers has the tendency to compare prices on all the taco stands we go to. He said they're pricier here. PARKING: Street. There's also a lot adjacent to their spot belonging to a couple of businesses. They're closed by the time the truck posts here, so all good. OVERALL: 3.

It's right on the corner with plenty of parking. When I walked in, there were quite a few people eating, which is always a good sign. I saw a few plates coming out of the kitchen that looked really good, so right away I was feeling pretty confident about the place. The lady at the counter was all business. Very serious, not much of a smile or pleasantries, but she gets the job done, and I can appreciate that. I ordered a cheeseburger and wanted a half order of onion rings, but they don't offer a half order, so I went with a half order of chili cheese fries instead. The chili cheese fries surprised me. A lot of burger spots have pretty bland chili cheese fries, but these actually had good flavor. I especially liked that they used very thinly shredded cheddar instead of those huge, thick strands of cheese that can get chalky once they cool down. Now the burger--the bun was nicely toasted, the lettuce had a good fresh crunch, tomato seemed fresh, pickles were good, and most importantly, the meat actually tasted like MEAT. It had plenty of flavor and was a very solid burger overall. My only knock is that I personally love a burger with that crispy, griddled texture around the edges. This one wasn't really crispy and was actually a tiny bit on the softer/mushier side. Not enough to ruin it by any means, but getting a little more crust on that patty would take it up another level for me. Overall, though, Olympic Flame made a good first impression. Solid cheeseburger, surprisingly tasty chili cheese fries, good portions, plenty of parking, and I saw enough other food coming out of that kitchen to make me curious. I'll definitely be back--not only for another burger, but to try some of the other stuff on the menu.

Respectfully this review may sound harsh but it's 1000% truth…read more The burger...eww. Why? Low grade, FOUL smelling Jennio-O caliber meat quality at best. And desert dry at that. If you're okay with this, then have at it. But just remember this review when you smell this under seasoned chunk of rancid meat you just spent your hard earned money on. The first thing I noticed cutting into this burger was the scent. It was FOUL. And then I instantly remembered why it has been 2 years since I visited this place. Same experience. This meat cannot be fresh whatsoever. It stinks. But to no surprise, it mirrors the poor quality of the fries (mid at best) and the knock off hidden valley ranch disguised as a house ranch you have to pay extra for. TBH the idea of a burger spot specializing in turkey burgers is really unique and opens up options that are both simple and satisfying. However, the turkey-- where you buy it, how you store it and the overall quality is the star of the show, and this ain't it. Simply put, it's not for me. I could not eat this food. Not to mention I feel there is a bit of deflection on the workers part when a concern is politely brought to their attention. The food, guaranteed IS NOT FRESH. I recommend Chinollo across the street. Fresh, high quality and juicy farm raised meats paired with equally high quality sides made in house (not frozen), fresh veg, fresh hand cut fries, house made sodas, milk teas and teas; nothing reeks of left over food being sold at ransom prices
