I went to eat here for the first time and I loved the food. It came very fast. The only downside was that the chips were a little stale and the queso wasn’t the best, but it was still good. The staff was very sweet. My waitress, Madison, was the best!

as a former employee, working here has been one of the worst experiences in my life. i don't even know where to begin. the manager or what plays to be a 'manager' is absolutely terrible. the constant disrespect that is given to the employees when one thing doesn't go her way. if you wanna work here, prepare for not knowing your schedule and being told to work 20 minutes before your shift. be prepared to be touched inappropriately and be left with a weird feeling. be prepared to do your job and constantly reassure your boss that her butt looks good or she looks pretty. because, i promise.. you will feel obligated to do so. one of the feelings i can't explain of uncomfortably. don't be excited to make friends with your coworkers, because that's not gonna happen. i recall once i was polite and speaking to a new employee. i get a text from the 'manager', "i'm going home. have fun with your best friend." like are you serious? are we two years old? the kitchen isn't very sanitary. on top of all this, i informed the 'manager' i am unable to work saturdays anymore due to never knowing my schedule. i get a reply of pettiness that i can take every saturday and sunday off. well, perfect! then, my check is cut 40 hours due to her pettiness and complete lack of knowledge. and it was complete active congress to get the hours i got stolen from back. if you upset her, tell your family not to come in, they will be disrespected and treated like absolute trash. if you have a significant other, she will absolutely despise them. she will talk about them to you like it's YOUR worse enemy. additionally, be prepared for her to try and work you 12 hours with NO BREAK. once this occurred, i spoke up. she got her butt-hurt and let me off a week because i refused to work 12 hours with no break. if you plan to let your child who is a minor work here, don't. they will be worked illegally. let's not forget about the amount of work you put in to just get underpaid and not make enough in general. this place truly sucks and i am beyond happy to close this chapter of my life working here.

The food is AMAZING, but what stands out the most is how unbelievably sweet and attentive the staff are. I just walked in to pick up a to-go order and Erica (the woman behind the counter) could see by looking at my face that I was in a sad place. She came around the counter and gave me the best hug I’ve received in probably years. She took the time out to talk with me and assure me that this sadness will fade and I will smile again.Great food and amazing customer service. All at a very affordable price. You can’t ask for more.

Our whole family enjoys El Flamingo's consistently excellent service, and we have an awesome time every time we visit. Our most recent visit, we had a party of 12. We were seated on the patio which was nice that day as the temperature was just right. Even with a large group, our server was on-point: he saw that everyone got what they ordered and anticipated our needs as well. Great service. The dishes came out so quickly. Portions are enormous so we all left more than satisfied.

The food was a hit or miss but their margaritas are huge for $8.99. The shrimp tasted like it was pre cooked.

Food was good and the service was quick. The salsa was tasty with just a little kick. 100% will be back again!
