I went to McFlamingo for the first time today, and my guest and I both ordered the DIY Chicken Tacos. They were horrible.
The rice was overcooked, dry, and tasted like rancid oil, with huge hard clumps throughout. The chicken was extremely overcooked and dry. The cilantro was spoiled. The tiny cup of avocado was so small it didn’t even cover a bite. The tortillas were stiff, plastic-like, and almost impossible to eat. The tomatoes were completely unripened.
It was embarrassing because I had heard great things, but this was terrible. At $21 a plate, it felt like a joke. We both agreed it was one of the worst restaurants we’ve ever been to in Jacksonville.
Nothing was prepared by a real chef, just thrown together by whoever was in the kitchen.
I would not waste your time or money.

How was McFlamingo? Absolutely fantastic. I have a very picky diet, and this is one of the only restaurants I can eat at and feel BETTER after the meal. Typically get the chicken and broccoli on rice, salads and burgers are delicious as well.

Generally the food is good but unfortunately the chicken taco was not this time around. Unable to eat the Avocado (black ) n the tacos (overcooked very hard). Unacceptable when charging $24. Order was pickup, so could not get remediation.

Critical Thinker
Seed oils, and multiple meats that made me sick. I try to give these places a shot and support local businesses, I spent thousands here guaranteed over time. Unfortunately the owner is a very aggressive person who responds in a nasty manner to reviews. You’re in the wrong industry for somebody who does not want any feedback. I continually supported this place with my family and friends. But seed oils??? Come on wake up and smell the coffee, that’s asking for all kinds of health issues. You present yourself as a clean establishment that uses high quality ingredients which is why you must charge extra, anybody with a brain can understand that’s how that works. Now I am finding out you are using farmed raised salmon and vegetables that aren’t organic along with toxic seed oils!! I am sure you are saving a lot of money using seed oils while you make the community sick. I hope you do the right thing and get your business in line to actually have healthy options with no car lubricant. You be ashamed of yourself and the way you speak to the people who put food on your table by supporting your business. Knowledge is power, Erik.

I have loved everything that I have had from McFlamingo!
We have been ordering lunch here since they opened several years ago. We love the food - it's fresh and healthy and always so creatively flavorful! We are Micky-F lovers!

We get the same thing at least 2 times a month. So we are a good a good judge of consistency. It gets an A. It’s also big enough to share with my wife good value

Always fresh, fast and friendly! All of the sauces are over the top great. A special gem in our neighborhood! Not local? Worth the drive for a casual local bite!
