Never again.... we always go to another place in town, but I decided I wanted to try El Flamingo out. Big mistake. We went for lunch, we both ordered meals with chicken. The waiter came out and asked us again if we wanted steak or chicken. We both said chicken. So, when my fajitas came out and they were steak, I said I ordered chicken. The waiter just looked at me strange and I said well, let me try the steak maybe I will like it and I was starving. I took one bite of the chewy nasty meat that was steak I guess and said no way, please give me the chicken... that I had ordered from the start. The waiter said ok. I would have thought he went back to the kitchen and told them to make it, but he didn't. After 20 minutes my husband was still sitting there waiting to eat until I got mine. His was wrong too, they put the wrong sauce on what he had ordered and had to bring it out in a separate bowl. The waiter came back and put a bill on our table. I said why are you giving us a bill when I haven't gotten my food yet? He started mumbling something we couldn't understand and I said did you not ask the kitchen to make what I ordered? He walked away and brought back another gentleman who we couldn't understand either, and I am not sure he knew what was going on. By that time I was just done with the place and said take mine off the bill i don't even want anything now. I was ready to go. We ended up leaving and neither of us had even had our meals. We were seated in the main area near the bathroom and all I could smell in there was the odor of toilet deodorizer. Never again! If this was the last establishment Mexican food in town I would just go to Taco Bell or drive an hour away to eat somewhere else. I wish Yelp would give an option for negative stars!

Juan and his team are always super fast, super friendly and super affordable! Usually, it’s cheaper to come here than to go to Taco Bell or McDonald’s… and the food is WAYYYYYY better! You will NOT be disappointed! My wife and I order here 2-3 times per week.

Great food ! Great service. This place has the best Mexican food in town. The manager is so polite we had a plate messed up and it was fixed immediately with no issues. The portion sizes are huge and the flavors are outstanding. They have the such a great staff so very friendly and they do there job well. That is hard to find in deridder . I recommend this place 100%.
This ain't Taco Bell.This is the real deal right here. Good food. Ingredients seem to be as fresh as possible. Most dishes made to order...which is amazing considering the volume of customers compared with their small kitchen.Next time I'll get pictures.Parking: Gravel parking lot...could use a little work.
Recommended dishes: Cheese Dip, Chicken Quesadilla, Chips and Salsa Quesadillas and Fajitas, Fajita Quesadilla

The food is really tasty and the service is great but out of the several times going I have found hair in my food several times. I'm unsure wether the cooks wear hair nets or not, however finding a hair in my food has happened more than once. I have since stopped going to the restaurant which is a shame because everything else about the restaurant is good, aside from the hygiene.
