Beside having one of the greatest names for a taco joint, Tacos La Flama also has some hearty, quick mexican food. For me, the “usual” is the wet chicken burrito which has shredded chicken, cheese, rice, beans and is smothered in enchilada sauce and some more cheese. Low calorie, it’s not, but when I get home with the tin take out tray, the steaming burrito is a real treat.

This isn’t the small taco plate kind of place. This is the high, and high flavor kind of place.

There is also a meat counter at the back of the restaurant, but I have never tried it. This is actually the place the tipped me off to Aqui es Oxaca when I went in looking for carne asada. La Flama only had pork and chicken, unmarinated so they sent me down the street.

In addition to the cooked dishes, there is a variety of pan dulce baked treats that seem very popular.

If you’re looking for a filling, tasty and cheap meal, Tacos La Flama is a great place to stop at the corner of Pico and Barrington.
