Most people had more than one helping. All the kids loved seeing the truck and thought it was super cool. The staff was supportive and incredibly accommodating. I will for-sure be using La Flama for our next party. I highly recommend La Flama on Wheels for any special occasion. It was so much fun and super delicious!!!! 🌮🎈🌮“

“We went to Rudys today for lunch for their taco bar buffet, and it was really fantastic. They had Hartshell and softshell tacos along with beans and rice and a plethora of toppings. They also had my favorite, chocolate pudding! Will be returning. Check it out. Price was extremely reasonable.“

“We really enjoy this restaurant. My husband enjoys the Quesa Birria Taco, my sister really liked the Pastor. I get different things but in the past i really liked the Birria omlette. Their pancakes are always super yummy. (I always envy the food i see going to other tables, especially the pancakes!) I especially like that my picky eater daughter always finds a few options she's willing to try (strawberry crepes lately).

Lately we have been fortunate to have one of the best servers I've ever had. She's very attentive, really pleasant, very caring and SMART. I just love when we get seated in Stephanie's section. The service can make or break a meal for us. And Stephanie has consistently delivered a very enjoyable dining experience. Kudos to Stephanie for taking so much pride and care in her work. It really really shows.

Between great food and great service, D'Lua in Bettendorf is one of our favorites!

Parking: Never had a problem with enough parking. I think their spaces are even a little bigger than average.

Kid-friendliness: Excellent kids options. Lots of options for my picky kid.“

Huge portion, came to the table, sizzling hot, full of meat and shrimp with vegetables and pineapple!! The beans and rice were the best I have ever had! I don’t usually like Refried beans and rice, but this was delicious. Enough food for Three people
My husband had the chili Rello and he raved about. It said it was just like something he got in the state of New Mexico.
Worth the drive from Clinton! We will definitely be back and recommend to others.“

“All I’m going to say is WOW. I wish I could rate them a million stars lol I first had their food at the cinco de mayo festival and was obsessed since then. I was finally in the area again and went to their actual restaurant to get more of their food. There was a little mix up where we got charge for a second meal on accident so they offered to refund us and the girl was so apologetic. But the way I look at it is I got lucky lol i was able to have extra for later that day for dinner instead. Definitely amazing customer service and the food is literally top notch. I cannot wait to go back and get more. Hopefully soon. But I HIGHLY recommend them.“
