Delicious place we stumbled upon while in Bondurant! The food was quickly prepared and delicious. Victoria the manager was personable, and helpful. The torta was made on fresh bread and the birria tacos were not too cheesy. We were both impressed by the menu and savory options.

Great gluten free options. Staff has been knowledgeable and food is always good. Street tacos and coke is my go to.

Always delicious food, attentive waitstaff and great prices!!
Food was excellent!!! Great flavor, quality cuts of meet, excellent presentation. I actually had read that they had a great burger, which was surprising to me. So I had to try it! It did not disappoint!!! It was excellent!!! Service here was amazing. There weren't a lot of people dinning in and thankfully so because the restaurant only has a few tables - but they were still super busy with people coming in to pick up to go orders and were running food to the bar next door. They did a good job of making us feel welcome, helping us with our selections, and making sure we had everything we needed. I will definitely be back, and have already recommended this place to ma y of my friends. Be sure to try their homemade tortilla chips!

Flame located in Bondurant consistently pleases our entire family.We’ve tried most all options on the menu and have not been disappointed. Any of their meals with birria as the meat option and a side of birria juice for dipping will quickly make you frequent customer.The service provided by Osiel is also top notch. His contagious smile, eagerness to provide each customer with a positive experience and genuine joyfulness easily make him an asset to the crew.We are always delightfully full and feel fortunate to have this option in our little town.During the warmer months, enjoy your meal on the tucked away patio. Or anytime of the year, grab a table and a beer at the adjacent Reclaimed Rails Brewing Company while having your Flame supper brought over to RR. They are also a great option if you’re looking for takeout.
If you are like me who likes to find the gem restaurants when you travel Flame hits that mark. It's tucked away on the main street of Bondurant. The small dining room seats 22 and the buildout is all new inside. The service is great and the food is great. I had the birrias tacos and a plate of chips & salsa. I have seen birrias tacos on the menu at a restaurant only one other time and they are a real treat. The Flame's version of that dish was fantastic. I always enjoy when the chef asks me "how is the food" and I tell him (in this case) muy bien. The stream of take out food was constant during the time I was here. It was a Wednesday night. So that tells me the neighborhood has caught on to this place. If you staying in a hotel and sick of looking at the chain restaurants, make the drive and treat yourself to birrias tacos. Cheers!

We called in a take out order while we have family in town. The service was excellent and, as always, the food was AMAZING! We always recommend Flame to anyone that asks for suggestions! We are so thankful to have this option in town.

I LOVE this place. The food is fresh and delicious & the service is always great (Oseol is the best server there!). My favorite things to get are the trio, birria tacos, steak quesadillas, and shrimp tacos.
I don’t give many 5 star reviews, (perhaps the hipster juice IPA influenced my opinion), HOWEVER, the tacos are perfect. The best tacos are simple and proportioned correctly. Flame nailed it.

We stopped in after being at Reclaimed Rails next door. We saw people inside so figured we would try it out. Very glad we did! Very small dining room but the food was top notch! Chips and salsa weren’t free but order anyway! Fresh chips and 3 different homemade salsas. Not made in bulk. The food was fresh and you could taste the authenticity! Our waiter was attentive and came by several times offering more of everything. We had enough to take food home and got a bag of chips and salsa to go at no charge. The only drawback is that its not in Ankeny!

This is a hidden gem! Everything we had was awesome. We started with the guac and chips which had great flavor. We had the southwest bowl and enchiladas. We tried the birria meat and so glad we did! It was flavorful, and tender. It was all fresh. We will back!
We went for a meeting and our waiter was so polite and helpful.

2nd time we've been here and it's fresh, quality food, probably best buffalo chicken wrap I've had and the patio is huge and full of games for the kids. Highly reccomend! After dinner walk down the block and hang out at the city park or check out the local shops.
