La Flama

Good service, great food! So good, all I've tried so far. Carnitas! Alambres a la Flama! Shrimp!!!

I have a partiality for, mom and pop Mexican restaurants operated in "hole in the wall" venues. They are especially easy to discover in Oklahoma. The best part is sampling the variations of common Mexican dishes prepared "home style" by the owners. And here we have" La Flama."The interior and furnishings at La Flama are well worn. The service is fast and friendly. The chips had been under the heat lamp for way too many hours, the salsa very fresh and delicious. Our meals were the Grilled Chicken Enchiladas and the San Lucas Chicken. Both were unique presentations. The enchiladas were corn tortillas dipped in red sauce filled with a very small amount of chopped grilled chicken, folded, with a liberal amount of more chopped grilled chicken on top. The San Lucas Chicken, was a thin chicken breast with a mild chipotle sauce, covered with melted mozzarella cheese, and a bonus of three grilled shrimp. Both meals were freshly prepared, mildly seasoned.Californicated Mexican food, it is not. Not quite what I would call OkieMex either. My best guess is home style, traditional authentic Mexican food. I make this clarification up front so, if you are expecting OkieMex you may be disappointed. If you don't mind food biased more toward traditional Mexican, give it a try.

HOLY JUMPING JESUS BATMAN SH*T!!!!! This place is AWESOME! I had Puerto Chile Verde and two tacos (pollo & asada). Incredible flavors, fresh and hot. I haven't tasted something this good in a long, long time. I can't think of another Mexican place that comes close to being this good right now. Very clean and the lady that waited on me was super friendly. They're gonna get sick of seeing me.

Not bad yet not great either...lacked flavor and seasoning though that's only my opinion. My favorite food is Mexican food and being from California I search near and far for really good authentic Mexican restaurants whether it's a hole in the wall or large establishment doesn't matter so when I came across this place on my Yelp and they had decent reviews I decided to give them a try. Well I'm so happy I only ordered for myself because I would've been very disappointed to have spent money for the family on bland food.

3 tacos (coming in at $1.50 each): chuleta (pork chop), chorizo & chicken. all 3 were good & i usually never see pork chop as an option, that was an automatic choice. along with the tacos, i got beans & rice.the chicken was good. slightly smokey taste & goes well with both sauces they give you (one is red that's on the hot end while another is green & mild). the chorizo, i don't think you can mess that up, it was good. the pork chop was super good. either sauce, be sure to add the lime.the rice & beans went well together. rice had the mint of tomato in each bite. the beans were topped with cotija. both go well while going hard on some tacos. there was an option of marinated chicken breast that i should've tried.all in all, good stuff. WAY more to choose from outside of tacos: fajitas, chimichangas, tilapia, etc. another gem on 11th street.

So I have been here a couple times now, and honestly I feel like it's so much better then some of the larger restaurants. The food is cooked fresh, so it's always nice and hot. I also like that you can see strait into the kitchen. The chicken chimichanga here is sooooooo good. This is probably my favorite thing so far, and their sopapillas are honestly probably my favorite.

Great food. Home made taste. Great prices. Accord sting to personalizations. A must try local favorite.

It's a low key spot that has some pretty incredible food. I had maybe the best carnitas I've ever had here.

La Flama on 11th st serves up very good Mexican food at reasonable prices. I would say it's a must try.

I think this place is great, the folks running it are fantastic. Its really easy going and the Alambres La Flama is a perfect lunch to me. I eat it at least once a week!
