" After hearing rave reviews, I decided to try Flame. The tacos were good — fresh ingredients, but a bit on the pricey side. The service was friendly and prompt but the atmosphere felt cramped. I’d still recommend it because the food has a lovely authentic flavor. " (*Curated Review*)

" Amazing customer service! I can't speak highly enough about my waitress, she was so attentive and friendly. The food was freshly prepared and flavorful. I enjoyed every bite of my carne asada fries. The only negative would be the seating arrangements; it’s definitely tight! " (*Curated Review*)
