Oh my god is this place amazing! The steak tacos are to DIE for! I've also had the guacamole and it is also delicious. The three salsas that come with the chips are amazing. If you like Mexican food, try this place! It's sooooooooo good! read more

This is DeKalb's best little secret! Great authentic Mexican food, reasonable prices and willing to customize however you'd like your dishes prepared. There isn't anything on the menu that we haven't liked and I have very picky kids. Tacos (corn or flour) made to order, enchiladas with three different sauces to choose from (can be spicy), the burritos are huge, and the fajitas all good. Four homemade sauces for your free chips - ask for the bigger bottles to use. The owners are bilingual and make this kitschy counter-service restaurant fun. The ice cream and desserts are good too, especially the homemade flan. Glad to have a place like this as a go-to when the cravings hit. Only bad thing is wifi is lacking - have to pay the NB&T bank for more than 20 minutes of internet if you plan to use your device to surf. read more

I am very picky about the mexican food I eat, especially tacos. I am used to authentic mexican food because I am from Chicago where that is widely available, and this place definitely satisfied my craving for tacos. Would definitely recommend and go here again! read more

Best restaurant in dekalb! Friendly quick service. Churros sound really good right now. Mmmmmm and some horchata!

If you are looking for fast food Mexican in the DeKalb area, this is the best! I've lived in the DeKalb area for 30 years and tried every Mexican place, old and new. This one is my top choice if I'm looking for a quick Mexican fix. The tacos are my favorite, but really everything I have tried here has been good. You would never guess it by the look of the outside and inside (pretty comical really), but this place is definitely worth going to. read more

If you want real "South" of border food, this is it. The taste I've had in Mexico is here. Deserts are tasty also. Inside a bank, odd, but who cares. Everything is great especially the pastor, and did mention the deserts. read more

Friendly people and awesome food. Another great Mexican restaurant in town. Their deserts can be a little over priced but worth it.

My husband and I have visited the Flamingo 4 or 5 times for lunch and have had a positive experience each time. After reading the other reviews, I realized that I don't even notice the kitschy flamingos any more but simply take the place for what it is -- a friendly family business with a large menu of tasty tortas, sopes, quesadillas, tacos, and much more. I asked about the squash blossom filling and was surprised by a complimentary sample with my meal. I will definitely order one or two on my next visit. Although they aren't quite Rubi's at Maxwell St. in Chicago, they were very flavorful. Yes, they are all a bit slimy, but that is natural. The basket of chips and salsa comes free of charge and helps with the wait since everything is cooked to order. I also enjoyed having three tasty sauces in squeeze bottles to enhance whatever we have ordered. My husband is stuck on the torta (pastor, generally) onto which he squeezes a large dollop of guacamole/crema sauce, and I tend to repeat my order of lengua (tongue) tacos since they are not offered in the sit-down places around town, but I am determined to branch out next time with a huarache. Prices are reasonable and the behind-the-counter service (from owners?) is very friendly and helpful. It's so good to have more authentic-tasting foods available so close to home. I hope that their business thrives and grows, and I wish them well in DeKalb. read more

I have loved everything I have had here so far. Each dish seems to get better and better. LImited seating and having a bank inside is a little strange, but don't let that fool you...the food is delicious. Definitely call ahead and order if you're planning on doing take-out. They make it fresh right there so the wait can be a little long during peak hours, but that's because you're paying for quality :) read more

The worst service I've ever had, I order steak taco's with cilantro and cheese only and I get lettuce and cheese. Not once, not twice today was the third time. read more

I've been here a few times, always for the breaded steak baby burrito. It's a meal. The layout of the restaurant is a little weird - sharing space with a bank lobby. But the food and service are both good and there is a great variety of ice cream for dessert. read more

Great had a delivery n the lady call making sure my order was correct on time and good food .

Went here for the first time last weekend and noticed they didn't have any vegetarian burritos. I asked if they had any good options for a vegetarian and they they offered to make me a potato and avocado burrito. It was outstanding. The salsa served with the complimentary chips and salsa and guacamole sauce were excellent as well. read more

Hands down the best tasting Mexican food in Dekalb. Everything on the menu has flavor and isn't just "drunk food". Go check it out! I recommend Milanesa. read more

I had a very disappointing experience there last night. I had family over for dinner and told everyone to meet at my house at 7pm. I was leaving Naperville at 6:10 and called and ordered a pick-up for 6:45. I ordered 2 tortas, 10 tacos and rice and beans. I arrived there at 6:40 and told them I arrived and paid, they said it was being made still and would be a couple minutes. After 5 minutes I asked what a couple minutes was and the counter person said just a couple more. At 6:50 I again asked and he said he would check. He talked to the cooks and then immediately I heard meat sizzling, prior to this I saw them making chips in the fryer. I asked the counter person if they just started making my food, he responded that they were still in the process of making it. At 7:00 I finally got my food. I told him that I was upset with the service and he replied that they make all the food fresh and they had other pickup orders and got behind. I don't mind waiting for my food and I truly enjoy their food but what I can't stand is being lied to. I wasn't looking for a handout or free food, I was just looking for honesty and not being treated in such a condescending way. At one point another customer that just arrived said "don't be that guy" I'm sure if he had ordered 45 minutes prior and saw other people that were eating in get their food before him he would be saying something different. The counter person just acted like I was crazy for complaining. Because of that I had people waiting for me at my house to get back for fifteen minutes. Not a huge deal but would have been nice if I could have know when I arrived it would take twenty minutes so I could let everyone know. read more

I have eat at this place probably at least ten or twelve times over the past 3 months. When me and my father first started going here they had quality made Burritos and tacos that were good for the albeit (high) prices, which made it a nice value with leftovers or a stuffed stomach to show for it. The past few times have been terrible and I must say that this place has gone down the tubes and they do not care about their customers or loyalty one bit. Constant bickering and charging extra over their sauce, of all things, and soppy-greasy Burritos that are so filled with juice and fat there is no way to eat them but throw it in a bowl and get your fork and knife handy.. This most recent experience included purchasing one, driving home (I live but a block away) and noticing a huge stain on my passenger seat where I set the burrito. Upon inspection it was grease from the steak burrito that was so bad it made its way through the foil, through the bag, and all over the seat (stain about the size of a paper plate). Now I have to take my car into the upholsterers to see if they can get this rancid rotting steak grease out of my textile seat in my car. Upon walking to the door with the burrito, It tore through the paper bag (from all the Leaking grease bomb that it was) landing on the sidewalk and releasing all of the sauce that I paid extra for as well making a sidewalk mess, and a loss of $7.25+$1.00, my dinner for that evening, and who knows what it will cost to get that mess out of my interior... This was a 2nd or 3rd time I figured I'd give these guys another chance since I do remember how good the prices and Burritos were when I started coming here. Stay away. I am done. They can let the business sink just like all the other ones at this location has in the past. I just wanted to let everyone that reads this know that this is worse than a dive and their prices do not reflect the quality of the food. read more

The best tacos to be had in town! I had two al pastor tacos and a gordita, but very flavorful and pretty cheap. If you are a local you have seen this location change over the years but it is very clean and pleasant on the inside. This place fills the hole in my heart that was left when Al Dorado closed down. read more

I have seen this place hundreds of times on my way to and from work but never realized what it was. I had lunch there yesterday and WOW! Service was great! Food was AWESOME! Will definitely be back! read more

Was curious about this place so I asked around and read the reviews and I'm glad I tried! Got myself the baby steak burrito (thanks for the heads up on the size, yelpers) and the horchata. The food was amazing and authentic most definitely. Had good flavor and put some salsa verde to top it off. As for my horchata, I've had better. Will definitely be back for more! read more

I seriously have no idea what the few complaints are about. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion because every experience is different but I have always had amazing food and great service here. I order from here as much as 4 times a month. Their steak is perfectly seasoned and just down right amazing! My boyfriend and I always get steak tacos and a torta. Half the time they give out a coupon for 4 tacos get the 5th one free. Great deal! If you order in and go pick it up too soon they give you free chips and salsa. What better thing to do than eat while you wait? My boyfriend is 100% Mexican so we are spoiled when his mother cooks for us. We also know what real Mexican food tastes like. This is our go to take out food in general!!! Oh and the ice cream is to die for!!! read more

Incredibly lost as to how this place is a Mexican restaurant, ice cream shop and a bank. But the tacos are good. Not the best in DeKalb but still better than most. read more

im Mexican and constantly eat Mexican food so I wanted something that would impress me so I pulled up here... first of all why do you guys have a bank awkwardly chilling haha? but the food wasn't good at all the chicken for the torta was weird and it took forever, the ice cream was way overpriced and looked like it was sitting for a long time. read more
