- foodWhen my tacos were finally done, she opened the window, shoved them to me, and slammed the window in the middle of me saying thank you. I hate this because I do like their food. Too bad for them because there are tons of taco places to choose from, and we would have been great regular customers, but I don't want to take the chance and get the rude ladies again.

- meatThe meat pieces were over cooked
- tacosThere were two ladies, and both were unfriendly. When my tacos were finally done, she opened the window, shoved them to me, and slammed the window in the middle of me saying thank you. I hate this because I do like their food.
- burritosburritos that had more onion than meat
- foodeverything is watered down with no taste
- portion sizethe size of the fish is too small
- salsasHowever, the last three times, my order was incorrect and required corrections. Across those three orders, we received the wrong kind of tacos, no salsas, someone else's food, and were missing tacos entirely. While the food itself is good, we likely won't be returning.
- sour creamtold no sour cream but of there was a lot of it
- 20 tacosWe wanted 20 tacos they told us it’ll be more than doubled
- Beef BurritosBeef Burritos are some kind of Beef Relish
- Carne asadaboth plates the meat was burnt
If you're craving authentic Mexican flavors and appreciate generous portions, this place is generally a good bet. Just be aware that some experiences mention inconsistencies in meat quality and salsas, so it might be a slight roll of the dice.

Frequently criticized
- customer serviceThis demonstrates really poor customer service and questionable business practices. While the food is good, the customer service is lacking. I recommend checking your total to avoid being overcharged.
- serviceI ordered tacos with onion and no cilantro, but they were prepared with cilantro. It's a shame because, as I mentioned, the food itself has flavor, but the service was not very good.
- Cuban ladythe Cuban lady in the front is the most nastiest
- OPEN signOPEN sign is lit and there is a girl and guy in there and she said she's closed
- advertised hoursOnline says they are open until midnight every day. Went to the Flamingo location a few moments ago and its 11:30pm
- being lied toFortunately, I caught it the second time and received a refund after asking for my receipt. However, paying $19 for a tiny amount of food is certainly not worth it, and being lied to and overcharged is unacceptable. If you do end up here, make sure you ask for your receipt.

This place offers a truly hit-or-miss service experience. If youre looking for a quick bite and dont mind rolling the dice on the interaction, you might be pleasantly surprised by speedy and friendly staff. However, be prepared for the possibility of incorrect orders or less-than-stellar attitudes that could sour your visit.

Excellent Service and Food!
My experience at the restaurant was excellent, especially the service. I visited on Taco Tuesday and, as I'm not very familiar with Mexican food, the staff was incredibly helpful. I want to express my gratitude to the nice young man who ordered before me; he was very patient and kind.
The food and atmosphere were also rated a 5 out of 5.

No Salsa with 9 Tacos?
My experience at the restaurant was quite surprising. I ordered 9 tacos, but to my dismay, not one salsa was provided. It was just the tacos, which is something I've never encountered at a Mexican restaurant before.

Lost Touch, Watered Down Food
My experience at this restaurant was disappointing. They seem to have lost their touch on how they make their food. Everything is watered down with no taste, and it's worse than Roberto's tacos.
The food quality has significantly declined.
