So so so good! I forgot pics but don't ignore this place. Yum to the fucking num. I had the steak tacos. Full of meat, the tortilla didn't choke me from being dry like most taco places. This one knew what they were doing! Good job read more

Very authentic but they missed the mark in a few different ways. The sign says to seat yourself but we weren't actually acknowledged for 10min or so. They only had one server and he was extremely overloaded during a busy lunch time. There were only 2 menus on the table but when he came and greeted us, he simply asked what we wanted to eat. The food was flavorful but not the best. It is definitely an authentic Mexican location that is connected to a Mexican grocery store. The burritos were large and filling but none of us could even finish them without taking half of it home. It was very strange that you have to ask the cashier for a key to use their restrooms as well. Overall it was very authentic, friendly staff but very busy, and strange location with a few quirks. read more

Flamingo's Mexican Restaurant - Steak burrito. - Mexican Near Me - South Bend, Indiana

I ordered through DoorDash and got a burrito which was okay, some stale chips (80% sure they're off-brand Tostitos, definitely not made in house), salsa that tastes like water, and a pre-packaged flan I'm extremely unimpressed and won't be ordering anything from them again. There are far better Mexican restaurants nearby. read more

Flamingo's Mexican Restaurant - $2 Flan that you can buy at the store - Mexican Near Me - South Bend, Indiana

I can honestly say that this is some of the freshest, best tasting Mexican food I've eaten. Living in Vegas there is no shortage of good, authentic Mexican cuisine but I was impressed. Flamingo's is attached to a market that sells fresh produce and Hispanic food. You can tell everything here is homemade and fresh. Our waitress was super friendly and took her time telling us about the menu and what comes with our meals. I had the combo plate with a taco, quesadilla, and tamale and could barely finish everything on my plate. Not one to quit though I managed to devour every delicious bite! My ex boyfriend-but-we're-trying-to-be-friends (cue the awkward emoji) had the 3 beef American style tacos. He isn't easily impressed and is hesitant trying new places but he really enjoyed his food. 2 dinners + 2 pops + unlimited chips and salsa for $20? Consider me a fan! read more

First time visit. I had a wet burrito and Maria had enchiladas. Fist the positive: Good service. Great chips. Food had good flavor. Negative: Food was not hot when served. Food seemed to have a lot of salt in it. Enchiladas covered in sour cream, should of been cheese. Cook's error. read more

You want kick ass tacos like legit. This place was maaaad good. I've had tacos on the east and west coast. East coast is wack tbh. West coast is gold. I had the shrimp and chicken. Generous with the limes. Service is nice as well. I sat the bar area and enjoyed them with mineral water they sell in old school bottles from Mexico. This tasted legit - and price is on point. I want to come back before leaving town again. read more

Flamingo's Mexican Restaurant - Mexican Near Me - South Bend, Indiana

It was an end to a good night. My mother and I leave the local movie theater, hungry for what we've decided are South Bend's best tacos at Flamingo's Mexican Restaurant, located in #DTSB. We walk in and it's quiet with one couple waiting to be served. We seat ourselves, and watch two servers work: one (with pink hair) busses tables while the other one serves the first couple. While waiting, another couple arrives--now we have one white couple being served, us, and the other white couple waiting to be served after us, or at least that's what we thought. After Pink Hair finishes bussing a table, she walks over to the white couple who came in after us and proceeded to take their order. "Excuse me," I say, "My mom and I were here before them; if you don't mind taking our order..." Pink Hair looks at us, shrugs and says, "I just got out here so..." Hmm, this is not true but it's clear we are not going to be served or at least not in a respectful way. I don't ask for much as a patron but blatant discrimination--not really looking for that. We left. I still can't fully tell you how this made me feel. All I know is, driving home, my mom and I felt like crap. I think I'm beyond being "hyper sensitive"--we were discriminated against and I feel I'm in my right to let others know. So, if you're part of population of South Bend that loves frequenting quaint, hole-in-the-wall restaurants with authentic food, while also being "woke" to what's going on in society, Flamingo's Mexican Restaurant discriminated against two black women on Friday, June 29 around 7:00 PM. In addition, I encourage you to try other authentic restaurants in South Bend's various up and coming neighborhoods, I know I will :) Cheers! read more

A great combination of comfortable sit-down and inexpensive/quick food. My Mexican style tacos were fantastic as were the chips and salsa. Kids loved the bright colors and watching the food cook up on the grill. 100% would take the family again. read more

The tacos I ordered were nothing spectacular (I expected more than one slice of avocado per taco as well), but with enough tomatillo salsa they were pretty delicious. The price was extremely affordable and service was quick, so really no real complaints! Would probably come again if I'm in the area and craving cheap Mexican food. read more

Flamingo's Mexican Restaurant - Paraiso Style Taco - Mexican Near Me - South Bend, Indiana

This is a little colorful restaurant in downtown South Bend. The place is a TON bigger on the inside than it looks and boasts a sizable Hispanic grocery store in the same building! Some of the menu items are tasty, but I'd recommend sticking with basic tacos. I tried the nacho plate once and it was really soggy with wilted lettuce. The tables are sticky and the service is laid back (slow), but if you're doing take out and plan to order then shop, it works out well. Or, as long as you're not in a rush, the restaurant has the physical capacity for a medium sized group. read more

My son and I have driven by several times and were excited to finally try it. We ordered steak quedadillas. The meat was fatty and chewy and neither of us thought the food was that tasty. We'll stick to another authentic Mexican restaurant closer to our home. read more

I still am a regular at Flamingo's but unfortunately my opinion of them has gone downhill. Their definitely not what they once where. When I first started dining at Flamingo's they were the talk of the town and had extremely reasonable prices for everything on their menu, and would have certain specials on certain days such as dollar tacos on Monday's and Wednesday's. Their Mexican style tacos used to be $1.50 and their America style tacos used to be $2.00, and now they went from $2.00 to 2.50. And all of their other tacos have increased by about 50 to 75 cents. Their Chalupas and tostadas used to be around $3.49-3.99 and now.....they went up to $5.99!!!! My GOSH!!! Flamingo's got rid of their dollar taco days and raised their prices. Also they have gotten stingy with portions for certain entrees. Mainly their tacos. To charge $2.00 for a taco and give a person a small spoon sized scoop of meat per taco...... not cool!!!! Smh. What happened to the old Flamingo's? Why did they become this way? They had a good thing going so just like that old saying if it ain't broke don't fix it!!! I also noticed the former staff that used to work at Flamingo's is no longer there and the staff that works there now either A: are brand new and they don't know what their doing or B: act like they don't want to be bothered serving you and are obviously there for a paycheck and have extremely poor customer service skills. Thank goodness the quality of the food is still awesome. Im saddened by demise of Flamingo's dinning experience and raised prices. I used to feel at home eating there, and like I was getting a deal for my dollar. Now I just feel like another face in the crowd that got ripped off. read more

Great Mexican restaurant downtown south bend. Lunch hour can be hectic so don't even think of bringing a large group and expecting to sit together. But for the lack of familiar eating companion, you're rewarded with good Mexican food. read more

Our favorite place to get tacos, not only because dollar taco days on Sunday's and Wednesday's, but because the food is great and the staff is friendly. I would recommend to ask what different kinds of meats they have for tacos or dinner entree options. The other day I had pork rib tacos. Pork ribs that were braised with cactus, and salsa verde. Best tacos ever! read more

A couple years ago this place was fire.. Now , we won't return . We showed up last night - Please seat yourself sign was up... the place has approx. 10 tables & booths total. There was places to sit but no cleaned off tables. we sat down to a dirty booth.. waited about 15 mins-- waitress comes over - takes dirty plates and takes our drink order.. EVERYONE JUST WANTED ICE WATER. Waitress brings chips & salsa and water ... Burnt brown chips, very little salsa in bowl and water has no ice -- everyone else got ice but me LOL slightly chilled water at best. My husband asked if there was another bowl of salsa -- TURNS out NO - they ran out of salsa .. husband was positive it was the same bowl of used salsa that was on the dirty table when we sat down. Then we waited 35 mins... no food still... so we left.. we won't return. Waitress help have been awful there for the past year.. nvr the same one but always very lazy women. Its a CHORE to get their job done. Not sure if they comprehend what a waitress job is. We now understand why there is so many TAKE OUT ORDERS. read more

The location seems a bit sketchy, but they have the best tacos ever. The service can be a little off sometimes, but they have the best tacos ever. Did I mention their tacos?

Got Carne Asada plates thru uber eats. The beef has absorbed all the flavor from the marination and cooked super tender to eat. Also love the fire roasted onions, pepper as the side. They go really well with the tortillas and beans. I felt lucky to find this gem during my trip. read more

No flavor & gastrointestinal distress. Might be because it was a Monday, I hope so. I had the mixed fajitas, the looked good coming to the table, but tasteless. read more

Flamingo's Mexican Restaurant - Page1 - Mexican Near Me - South Bend, Indiana

Ordered for pick up on a Sunday at noon. Ordered a small menudo, chips and salsa. I typically consider menudo to be the measure of a good Mexican restaurant/deli. Food: Menudo - extremely salty, lukewarm (which was very off putting), full of huge chunks of fat and was missing the higher quality honeycomb tripe that we all love so much (signs of a cheaply made menudo), and no hominy Chips and salsa - good as expected Service - service is slow (restaurant was empty), and the girl working the cashier does not know how to properly check an order. I ordered a small menudo and was charged for a large which I didn't realize until I got home. She also forgot to include the tortillas that are supposed to come with the menudo My friends say that they enjoy the tacos/burritos etc so maybe I will come back again sometime and write an update. As of now, I'm sitting at home rather disappointed. read more

Great Mexican food close to downtown South Bend. Cheap and cheerful, with colorful decor, with a good menu and service. I had the delicious and satisfying $8.99 combination plate with seasoned ground beef as the main dish. The starter of thick guacamole and chips was good. The building is half-restaurant and half-Mexican grocery store. Recommended. read more

A very authentic taco shop! The chips and salsa are good, you can tell it's homemade salsa! The kids' choices are cheap and come with a ton of food! The green chili salsa is an absolute must! However, the pork is always fatty, the chicken dishes are always watery, (and not in a juicy way), and the steak is kind of grisly. read more

Flamingo's Mexican Restaurant - Most legit meal ever - Mexican Near Me - South Bend, Indiana

The sign said daily special $6.99 for taco lunch plate. That not a great price to begin with for a Mexican 2-taco lunch. Wait person said it's an extra dollar because I said "Paraiso style". That's $7.99. I get 2 tacos asada and cold 1/2 cup rice and 1/2 cold beans ( cheese never melted). The finely diced beef was super well done and tough. I suspect it was reheated meat from day before. No long strips like the Yelp photo shows. Who would dice carne asada? It costs $2 for the tacos asada a piece. That's $4 for 2. It costs $2 for a large plate refried beans a la carte and $2 for a large plate rice a la carte. That would be $4 for both rice and beans. Do the math. You get less beans and rice for the taco lunch special...and they charge you $4 for tacos and $4 for rice and beans (cold too). The lunch plate price is identical to ordering a la carte. You actually get charged more for less food. So why call it special?! I ask the cashier about their pricing. She said it's not the special when you order Paraiso style. Has she not done the math? It's not special whether you order the Mexicano OR the Paraiso style. Both are same price as a la carte prices. My assessment is the regulars know this. They are just making a lot of money on the non-regulars who don't understand what they are getting. The wait person was good. She got me chips & salsa within 5 minutes, got my ice water to me quickly. She was polite and pleasant. read more

Great authentic food great staff SUPER CLEAN. The staff there is attentive to its customers and the service is next to none I love to slide thru Flamingos for a quick lunch or a mini date. They're connected to a great Mexican style grocery store if you're in the market to cook at home. read more

NO LONGER DOES $1 TACO WED AND SUN!! Moved it to daily from 3-5. Went today, got chips without asking, got charged $3 for them. Messed up my order, charged me extra because they made my tacos American style instead of Mexican. Took me 45 minutes to get my 4 tacos at when it wad relatively slow 11 am). Didn't once refill my soda in the hour I was there. Messed up my spouse's burrito, tried to charge for the beans they forgot to put in. No longer worth it without the special. read more
