Welcome to Flama Llama, where we strive to celebrate classic Latin dishes while bringing a uniquely Asian twist to them. Using the freshest ingredients and original recipes, every single one of our recipes are a labor of love (and the result of lots and lots of taste-testing). The team behind Flama Llama is proud to now call San Diego home, originally hailing from South America with roots Asia as well. We can't wait for you to join us in this celebration of Latin and Asian cuisines, and we hope you'll enjoy eating them just as much as we've enjoyed creating them. (You may also know us from sister restaurants Steamy Piggy and formoosa)

    A very fine meal. Love the wontons and the Lomo and Ropas Viejas. The kid devoured the pork tacos. Just wish the ambience was a bit warmer.

    I ordered a margarita. Not good. The pork was just ok, the rice clumpy. The plantains were delicious.

    Caught happy hour decent pricing, cutely decorated. It’s in a plaza so parking can be hit or miss. Would recommend.

    Amazing fusion food. Great atmosphere, fast service. We tried the garlic noodles, fried rice and the beef sandwich for our entrees and it all was fantastic. The yucca fries, chili wontons and the fried plantains were amazing too. Overall a great experience.

    Maybe it’s because it was a Sunday but we waited about 20 minutes to be seated even though the restaurant was about 25% full. Once seated, the service was good and four of the five dishes we ordered were very good and reasonably priced. Interesting food combinations but not the place to go to if you want a salad.

    The food was good but each dish was basically the same flavor profile. We ate with 4 people. I will say their service was outstanding. They noted a gluten allergy from our OpenTable reservation and alerted the server and the cook. They made a special chicken and vegetable dish custom made that was still delicious. That was very much appreciated. Thank you!

    Although we had a reservation they did not ask or check us in. There was one server for the entire restaurant and it took a while before someone came to take our orders, but when they did it was quick and the food came out shortly after. The flavor was overall good and affordable meals. Nice environment and outdoor patio was a good touch.
