   Absolutely loved our experience at Flama Llama! The food was outstanding—everything we tried was full of flavor and cooked to perfection. The mojo pork in particular was incredible—tender, juicy, and packed with just the right amount of citrusy, garlicky punch. I also have to give a special shoutout to the elote corn—creamy, smoky, and totally addictive. Our servers, Aaron and Cameron, were fantastic—friendly, attentive, and made us feel right at home from the moment we sat down. Highly recommend this spot! We’ll definitely be back. Thanks again, Flama Llama!

   Food was good but not good enough to return because the service was so bad. They kept bringing us dishes that we didn’t order and then never brought the drinks until we reminded them. Also dessert took 15min to get to the table and it was just flan that sits in the fridge. Th place wasn’t packed so not sure why service was terrible. They even got our bill wrong and added items that we didn’t order. We don’t plan to return.

   Flama Llama was great. The interior is cute, with an nice enclosed patio and great decor. The garlic noodles had a smoky/grilled flavor, and it came with big chunks of grilled veggies that weren't listed on the menu. Definitely a plus. The wonton soup had a good, rich broth. Elote was on the corn-forward side (not overly cheesy). Would definitely order it again. Yucca fries come with two great sauces. I really liked the green cilantro one (which also came with the garlic noodles). The liquor license is wine/sake only, but their sake-based cocktails are fantastic. Service was great.

   A very fine meal. Love the wontons and the Lomo and Ropas Viejas. The kid devoured the pork tacos. Just wish the ambience was a bit warmer.

   I ordered a margarita. Not good. The pork was just ok, the rice clumpy. The plantains were delicious.

   Caught happy hour decent pricing, cutely decorated. It’s in a plaza so parking can be hit or miss. Would recommend.

   Amazing fusion food. Great atmosphere, fast service. We tried the garlic noodles, fried rice and the beef sandwich for our entrees and it all was fantastic. The yucca fries, chili wontons and the fried plantains were amazing too. Overall a great experience.

    Maybe it’s because it was a Sunday but we waited about 20 minutes to be seated even though the restaurant was about 25% full. Once seated, the service was good and four of the five dishes we ordered were very good and reasonably priced. Interesting food combinations but not the place to go to if you want a salad.
