The food is consistently and deliciously fresh, the service is fast and friendly, the ocean view setting is perfect, and the prices are fair.

Serving breakfast, lunch and dinner, seafood is the claim to fame at Flamingos.
Flamingos oysters, seafood soup, salads, shrimp, shish-ka-bobs, fish fillets prepared 12 different ways, pan de cazón and the seafood platter with lobster for 2 are some of the choices.
However, for those who don’t fancy seafood, they have five poultry dishes, steaks and other cuts of meats, Yucatecan favorites, Chinese food, and the no-fail hamburger, nachos, club sandwiches and tacos.
Buen provecho!
