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)

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.

Food was tasty. Restaurant was super cute. I would definitely go back and recommend the platanos and the yuca fries.

I found the food to be very lacking. It’s a really pretty restaurant but out of 4 dishes no one in my group was satisfied. Everyone expressed that the food wasn’t good. We ordered the lomo saltado, chili wontons, ropa vieja and garlic noodles.

The food was yummy. We tried nearly everything too! We didn't care for the Chimmichuri torta, but everything else was great. It was louder than we expected, but all other parts of the food and experience were great!

Food is nicely prepared and arrived promptly. Simple, family-style operation in warehouse-type location. Outside dining was not available. Super-friendly service.

Cute place on Convoy, service was fine, food was fine too. The menu is very thin though - if you aren't in the mood for a sandwich or a bowl, I'd say find another place. It doesn't help that you can throw a rock and find amazing Asian food anywhere in the neighborhood so as you drive out you think "Damn, I could have eaten at any of these other places."
