review for La Flama on Wheels. Extremely disappointing. $6 for a breakfast "burrito", & after guac, sour cream, & tip it was 10 somethin. Service was friendly & quick but was handed the tiniest, saddest most flavorless lil thing. Was the size of an anemic gerbils prick. read more

I recently came here to eat with my family on a Saturday afternoon, which ended up being a big party (4 kids, 6 adults). They accommodated us with no problem! The food was quick and delicious. We were all full by the end! Our waitress was polite and efficient, and she got us what we needed when we needed it, often without us even asking! I appreciate that we felt welcomed even with our kiddos struggling to keep their indoor voices on. Although a smaller building, it was very cozy and the decor was simple and cute! I absolutely will be back here sometime. It wasn't very busy, and I really loved my dish (I believe it was enchiladas verdes?). read more

First off, our waitress tonight was a CHAMP. She was running around, the only server in the place, every table full, and we were still impressed with her service and good attitude. The food was just alright. It was well priced, so not too many complaints, but all of the meat was very overcooked and tough. My marg was delicious, although super sugary. read more

See all

This place is the BEST food I've had in a long time. The value is awesome - the 1st time I went I ordered some nachos and 3 other items to take home and the bill was 30 bucks - 4 meals for 30 bucks!! I've been ruined for eating any other Mexican food now. I lived in Texas for 30 years and this place offers food that rivals TX. They have survived floods and kept on kicking give this place a try! Since I'm the only one driving I haven't tried the margaritas but they are value priced as well! read more

La Flama Restaurant - This is Chicken Nachos - the special!! They are awesome! - Mexican Near Me - Davenport, Iowa

After several weeks being closed - they have reopened and moved to a new location! I'm so excited to have them open again! I think LaFlama has some of the best food in town! Still reasonably priced and still good after being closed. They have slimmed down the menu a bit - understandable with business as it is. The size of the seating area is smaller but they had a good take out business before! I will still use that service! They also have food trucks during the warm months! Please show them some love along with the wait staff they had a rough go during the close down but they are ready for business and happy to help you!! I'll add pictures next time - the weather was yucky when I went! read more

LaFlama is in the top 3 Mexican restaurants in a very competitive market. I've had almost everything over all the years they've been in business in multiple locations and a name change from Jalapeños. Staff is always excellent!!! I promise you if you go in enough, they will know your order! People need to know where they are in Davenport and it does help that the food truck lets people know too! Keep up the great work LaFlama Team read more

Was a huge fan when their restaurant was located downtown Moline IL. My job moved to Davenport IA and took advantage of their food truck at K&K parking lot to get their amazing spicy pork tacos with homemade green sauce. To my delight I discovered their new storefront on Elmore Avenue, 5 minutes from my job. I love this location and staff is awesome. I just tried their homemade Enchiladas con Mole, OMG! Their food is authentic and well executed. The real deal here. So thrilled to have them close by again! read more

So, I have eaten here before and I really liked it, but the reason I'm writing this review is I work for food delivery service, and I went there for a customer, the woman who works the window, Sidney has excellent customer service skills. They need to give her a raise ! read more

La Flama Restaurant - the front of the restaurant - Mexican Near Me - Davenport, Iowa

I got the chicken enchiladas. The enchiladas had absolutely no flavor. The enchilada sauce tasted like plain tomato sauce. No spices whatsoever! The enchilada sauce was totally about an inch thick. I had to scrape it off to find the enchiladas read more

Got a TapOnItQC text coupon Wednesday for BOGO at La Flama. ($ 7.50 max value) Never been there and have driven by many times. Me and friend went about 5:15 and picked any table we wanted to sit at she said. The waitress was friendly, attentive and waited after we got drinks to let us decide on menu. I ended up deciding on the chicken enchiladas verde Wed/Thurs special and he got the ground beef chimichanga Wed/Thurs special for $9.00 each. Both come with beans and rice. My friend told her on a separate ticket he wanted one beef burrito and one beef soft taco to go for his lunch tomorrow. The waitress brought a basket of chips and a jug of red salsa with a thumb controlled slider spout with our drinks and two black molcajete bowls for the salsa. My friend took a chip and a dip of salsa before me and his eyes watered and started coughing. I took a tiny chip and dipped just a little on the edge. Unbelievably HOT!! Glad we had our pops already. It was so hot there is no way to eat that stuff. The waitress came back to get our dinner orders and I asked if there was anything milder than that stuff. It was on fire and inedible. She stated it's made fresh everyday by him (must be owner) and every batch is different. She said they had a tomatillo based green salsa we could try in another pour jug. I said fine. I also asked for a small guacamole ($2.50) so we would have something to dip the chips and try to cool my mouth off while waiting for our entrees. Waited and waited and finally a cold jug of green tomatillo sauce with thumb slider spout was delivered and another black bowl. It was light green like it had sour cream in it. I thought that looks cool and soothing. It wasn't much better on the heat. So we just shoved all of it to the side of the table, gave up and waited for the guacamole. I was getting real concerned about how hot my enchiladas verde was going to be. Guac never came. Service bombing now! The place was starting to fill up and get busy. I thought I saw her with a bowl of guacamole in her hand, but damn, went the other way to another table. Next thing she was bringing our entrees which were hot and fresh and she offered refills on pops. I asked about my guacamole and she said, "She didn't bring it?" ( Who is she??) I thought you were our waitress. I had hinted I wanted guacamole to go with the chips since none of the salsas were edible. I guess she didn't realize that even with a basket of chips in the middle of the table and all the jugs of salsa and bowls piled up on the edge. I said nevermind. Too late now. Forget it. My enchiladas were swimming in green verde sauce, coated with crumbled cheese, and strizzles of sour cream. Laid in a row on top were three raw, white, onion rings as garnish. The rice was in a tight, round mound with a sea of runny refried beans around it. It looked pretty but was too hot with all that green chili sauce. I ate 3/4 of one enchilada and kept scooping up rice to try to cool my mouth. The beans were nasty with chunks of fairly firm pinto bean floating around. Were not pureed well enough and still chunky. Not much flavor either. I scooped the cheese and sauce off the top of the other two enchiladas and broke open the tortilla and tried to eat the chicken from the inside to have somewhat of a dinner. My friend's beef chimichanga was soggy and wet. I think it may have been wrapped and deep fried, but then when they smothered it all in red sauce and cheese it made it all soggy. He ate 1/3 of it, two scoops of beans and half the rice, then threw his napkin over it and said, "I'm done." "Me too." We looked for the waitress and waited for the check and to use my BOGO coupon. She came to see how it was and I didn't tell her the truth. We asked about his to go order and she was going to go check. In the meantime we watched other tables, even an older couple in their 60's, just gobbling down the salsa and chips. A family of four was digging in even with grade school aged children. The older couple got their food and the man poured the salsa over his tostadas and she was dumping it in rows over her tacos. How can all these people being gobbling down salsa? Ours was extremely hot and inedible. Then I noticed the cap colors of their thumb controlled slider spouts were all red. Ours was orange. I think the waitress gave a us the super duper hot salsa they may reserve for serious Mexican customers that want super hot salsa. Orange= Habanero? Now the bill was another mess. Brought it and I was shocked at the total. Figured out she put my friend's take home lunch on there after he told her it was a separate ticket when he ordered. Then I see small guacamole, which we never got and I told her to forget it since the meals came. Then she didn't give me the TapOnItQC discount. Tapped REDEEM button. Got that fixed, took off guacamole, but I looked and discount was $ 7.01. I guess $ .49 7% tax on a discount. Not going back. What a mess! read more

Return trip and this time we did take out.. portions were generous for price and only more pico is worth asking for as theirs is very good! Quick service and I highly recommend the chicken soup on a cold night! read more

Hola! If you are interested in FRESH, to-made Mexican food.... THIS IS WHERE YOU NEED TO BE!!! A friend of mine brought me tacos one night and I fell I LOVE!!! Lol, with the tacos! They are everything you want! Now I am a " regular" of Angelica's.... she is so sweet, so efficient, and so lovely. I am a creature of habit and always get the ground beef/hardshell but I add traditional goat cheese and guacamole. Is fabulous!!! Margaritas are good, a tad too sweet for me so I get a cervesa! SERVICE IS DAB, FOOD IS FAB, atmosphere is fab, I hope this helps you all! I used to to to either Rudy's or Ganzo's for lack of better, but after my first bite, it was over! GO THERE!!!!!! read more

One of the best kept secrets in Davenport! Outstanding food and a off the beaten path location mean I am usually enjoying spectacular grub shortly after sitting down. Salsa was great... I like things spicy and heard a few around me complain... hard part for a place like this to please everyone but you heat freaks like me get an occasional surprise when getting to enjoy a fresh salsa with a decent zing! Tacos are OUTSTANDING! Well worth any wait you may have.... read more

While the food tasted ok, the portions were small and overpriced. I was also a little upset that the waitress asked if we wanted guac when we got there but didn't ask what size or anything. My girlfriend just said yeah, and next thing I know there's a giant tub of guac that I now have to pay for. If it's not complimentary, she should have asked what size we needed. I don't eat guac and my girlfriend barely ate half of what was brought. Definitely better Mexican restaurants in the quad cities that are cheaper to boot. read more

So disappointed with my take out order. Grisly steak tacos, served traditionally on flour tortillas with onions, cilantro and lime wedge. (meaning just that, one wedge) Admittedly I did not ask for extra but have NEVER only had one in an order of three tacos. Perhaps I should have eaten 'in' but after hearing such good reviews from friends and co-workers... I did not expect to only finish half of my order of steak tacos due to such poor quality steak meat. Literally went to taco he!l because I was still hungry. Would have given this place only one star but I did like their guacamole, to end on a positive note. read more

Best Mexican in the Quad Cities and very good price. Quesadillas and choriqueso are excellent and margaritas are awesome

I was really disappointed today when I went there for lunch. My food was lukewarm when it came. The glass for my pop was dirty. I didn't notice it till after I took a couple drinks. Don't think I will go there again. Normally very good quality food when it was in Illinois. read more
