" 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*)

" I keep coming back for the chimichangas — they are absolutely to die for! Definitely one of my go-to places for comfort food. The staff is friendly, though sometimes you may need to be a bit patient during peak hours. But the food is worth the wait without a doubt! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had the most amazing experience here! The food was incredibly fresh and authentic. I specifically loved the fish tacos — they were crispy and had a zesty seasoning. The atmosphere is cozy, perfect for a casual meal, and the service was attentive. " (*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*)

" Service was great! Our waitress was attentive and friendly. The food came out quick, and everything was hot and fresh. I highly recommend the quesadilla, and the salsa is the best I’ve had around here. " (*Curated Review*)
