    Pollo Feliz
    Jeffrey M.

    First things first, I travel to Snow Hill quite often for work. This being my 4th trip with many more to come, I'm very glad that my coworkers have recommended La Flama Mexican Restaurant to me. This restaurant has become one of my favorite places to go for lunch whether by myself or with coworkers. La Flama Mexican Restaurant is among one of the best Mexican restaurants in there area. I ordered the Pollo Feliz - sautéed chicken strips, with fresh spinach and onions topped with cheese sauce over a hot skillet. First you smell it then you hear your meal coming to you. It is served with rice, refried beans, salad and two flour tortillas and it was delicious! Very flavorful, and was delivered to the table at a reasonable time. It did not take long at all. I love it when I can still hear my food simmering on the handheld skillet. GREAT FOOD, GREAT ATMOSPHERE. There is no doubt that I will be coming back here, especially on day I "forget" my lunch at home. :)

    2 beef hard tacos and 1 soft taco

    I been here a couple times. Usually, I get their tacos. Everything else is kind a high. But, I don't have much of a choice because it is the only Mexican restaurant in this small town. Menu items ordered: Tacos were great but, not the best I ever had. The best I ever had belongs to a restaurant in Mississippi. However, this is North Carolina. Maybe it has something to do with that. Is there a difference between Mississippi Mexican Food and North Carolina Mexican Food? I guess we will never know. It's located down town. They do not serve drinks. That is no alcohol. Not even a margarita

    Taquitos

    Not a bad restaurant for being in a dry town(no alcohol)! Free chips and salsa- chips were warm and the salsa tasted fresh. I ordered the taquitos and they were crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. The white cheese dip was very good! Beans and rice were ok. The cheesecake burrito was the star of the show and I highly recommend it! I was full and only intended on having a bite of dessert to try it, but I found myself going back for a few more bites because it was so good! I also tried a bite of the brownie sundae which was pretty tasty as well. The service was great and I would definitely stop by again.

    Texas Fajitas

    As soon as you are seated you get welcomed with a basket of freshly made chips and salsa made daily. Timely service and excellent customer service. Waiters know their dishes and what they can do to make your experience unforgettable. Highly recommend cheese dip and Texas fajitas.

    I really didn't like the food, is like any other food with no real Mexican seasoning, and flavors. Place is nice. But I wouldn't go back.

    I don't understand the popularity. My family and I went for the first time after seeing the Yelp…read morerating and it is a one and done. The positive first: The lime mojito was probably the best I've had. The salsa is close to the best in Goldsboro. My son raved over his birria tacos. That was it... 3 things form the entire meal. The wait time from order to receiving food seemed a little long since there was less than a handful of people when we arrived. The guacamole was edible but not as good as it should be. My younger son and I asked for no cheese sauce on the kids burrito and he got it anyway. Tamales are hard to find and to get them with questionable looking ground beef and beans dumped on them was disappointing. They were okay once I scrapped that off. The refried beans were terrible. The rice was okay and the black beans tasted like they came strait from a can. The deal breaker is when the waiter came and told me he made a mistake. He proceeded to tell me he gave another table my ticket and flashed a signed ticket and proceeded to show me their tab that was almost $5 more and asked me if I would just pay their ticket. He kept saying something about him paying the $5 but he was not saying how and I was put on the spot. I asked him to remove a $2 item on that ticket and agreed just to get it over with. He should have reprinted my ticket and dealt with the mistake behind the scenes.

    As always, the food, people and experience were amazing! We love this restaurant for authentic…read moreflavors and thoughtful service. If we want to sit down to a good meal, where I can hear my family over the music, we go here.

    My husband first took me here I would like to say about a year ago, The food is super delish. I…read morecould tell their tortillas were made fresh. I've tried a few menu items but, recently, when my dish came with two flautas- the flavor from the crunchy tortilla just satisfied me. I think for the price the portion is perfect, even if you don't finish -the foods so good you're gonna want it again. I have to review a few more items to see how good they are. I believe that some dishes really define if a restaurant is good especially in a Mexican restaurant. If I had to say a con: I sat on this one for a few, the one thing I was not the biggest fan on was their rice. While it's good it, I also wouldn't pick it out for myself. Like I said good, just not my favorite. However, Honestly, so far I do think they are def one of the better Mexican restaurants local to Kinston. I see a lot of people complaining about costumer service, I've been fortunate to have had good experiences. I have watched from my seat how there has been a few servers who did not attend their customers well. (If I'm honest it's usually the young ones.) So I do think that perhaps focusing on teaching the younger/new waiters on behavior and management with time could improve. Speaking the obvious you just have to be respectful as well to receive good service. I hate a rude customer just as much as bad service. Anyhow, if you're a foodie and have an open pallet. I'm sure you're in for a comforting treat. Local, cozy, family friendly environment and delish food.

    ordered guacamole and a torta cubana. The torta was so exaggeratedly stuffed with meat and toppings…read morethat all the juices soaked thru the bread and made the sandwich a 1-10 experience. And guacamole was bad by the time I got home to eat it. paid almost $30 just to throw the food in the trash.
