Absolutely terrific food. .every time....

Love everything on the menu except the salsa, it’s just ok, feels like it’s missing something and wish there were more options. Guac makes up for it, still 5/5.

Small and modest place, yet with food that's worth trying out. There's a surprising amount of attention to detail with the wait staff when it comes to taking care of you. They even had different kinds of to-go containers when I planned to just plop my guac in the same box as my entree.

The best Mexican food in town. Birria tacos are the best I’ve had. I order them at least 3x a week. Sometimes more.

We absolutely love Flame - the server is very friendly and the food is always good. The restaurant isn't very large so probably not suitable for large groups, but we love the quaintness. While the menu it much smaller than a traditional Mexican restaurant, everything on their menu is awesome and they have some of the best tacos around. They have a couple locations with variations in menus but we like this one the best. Highly recommend for a casual dinner. :)

LOVE this place!!!! Love the Birra Tacos, Shrimp Tacos, Quesadilla too! Queso with Chrizo is great too! Authentic, fresh, great customer service! Highly recommend! Very limited space inside is the only con. I usually order take out because of the limited space.

I decided to have the FLAME food truck cater at my wedding this last October and it was one of the best decisions I had made for my big day. From the beginning of planning to when the food was being served the people at FLAME were nothing but amazing. They were great with communication and helping me figure out everything I needed. All of my guests loved them and the food they served and had nothing but good things to say. A special thank you to Sandra the Catering Coordinator as she was a very big help with everything and a wonderful person to work with! I highly recommend FLAME if you are looking for any catering for any event!

Small place, great food. The ingredients us to prepare the food are high quality. Wish they use Tortilla Milagro instead of Mission.
