"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!"

Another Taco Tuesday at El Flamingo is on the books. Our Waiteress is always polite and professional. The Salsa and chips are excellent and constantly refilled. The 3 Shredded Chicken soft Taco's are a steal at $5.99. Wife had Quesadilla Texana, OMG, it was delicious. While we only had 6 people tonight or was a good time and great fellowship. El Flamingo is the definite Go To for the best Mexican food in DeRidder.

Decent Mexican food. This was my first meal in town, and it was decent. I ordered the daily special of the day (Beef Enchiladas), and my dad the Carne Asada Burrito. I wasn't a fan of the Beef Enchilada, but my dad's Carne Asada Burrito was pretty good. I also ordered a Horchata drink. It was decent as well. The server was friendly and attentive. Wish I could give this place a better review due to the service I received today, but the food didn't really impress me. View menu

Really good Mexican food at a very reasonable price. My fiancé and I came here on a Friday night and were seated right away. Staff were very friendly and attentive. The complimentary salsa here is very good. The guac is ok. Fresh but missing some flavors. My fiancé ordered the chimichanga and I had the spinach enchiladas. They both came with rice and beans. He enjoyed his chimichanga and I thought the enchiladas were pretty good. Portion sizes were large. Overall really enjoyed my experience here and definitely plan to come back.

The quality of the food here is mediocre, not terrible but nothing to write home about. Basically the most generic Tex-Mex imaginable, reasonably fresh but I've never tasted ground beef that was less seasoned in my life. The salsa is the the only thing that really has any flavor. For the food alone I'd probably give them three stars. The reason they earn one star is because when we placed a takeout order by phone, the guy in charge took advantage of the fact that we were ordering from an outdated menu to deliberately misunderstand what we were trying to order, so that he could charge us as much money as possible for less food. Then, when I realized the misunderstanding while picking up and p...
