El Flamingo is a Tex-Mex restaurant that offers a pleasant dining experience for families and friends. The food is generally praised, with highlights including the chile relleno, street tacos, chicken enchiladas verde, stuffed avocado (FULL order), taco salad with shredded chicken, and beef fajitas. The service is friendly, though it can become overwhelmed during busy periods with only one waitress, and newer waitresses sometimes do not check on customers unless prompted. The restaurant's accessibility may pose some challenges, with limited parking in an unmarked, rugged lot that probably fits 15-20 cars, and stairs leading to the main seating area. Kids are welcome, with a kids' menu, family atmosphere, music playing, TVs on, and free ice cream cones for kids who clean their plates. While the food is usually very fresh and tasty, the chips are sometimes stale and hard, and staff may not always check on customers unless asked. Overall, El Flamingo provides good value for money and is a solid option for Tex-Mex cuisine.
