Flacka's is easily the best Mexican food restaurant in Tustin. The food is great. My favorite is the Bistech Ranchero. It's best version of this I've had anywhere. I washed mine down with a Michelda and house marg as one does The service is excellent. Very friendly and very one the ball. The ambience is nice. It's not fancy, but it doesn't need to be. cheers! read more

Cute local Mexican in Tustin with awesome tacos and friendly service. Flaka is located in Tustin has a small parking lot. Interior is clean and large. They give you complimentary chips upon entry. I've came here two times and have tried enchilada, street tacos, and margarita. My favorites is the non taco Tuesday tacos, tortilla is thick and hand made. Their pork is delicious and enchilada is solid and not overly creamy, the marg is not too sweet and perfect strength. Overall the dishes we've tried are solid, taco Tuesday is a great deal with $2.00 street tacos and $5 marg. This is a go to Mexican in Tustin read more

We had such a nice Mother's Day dinner at Flacka's! We were in the area roller skating and popped on Yelp to find a spot. Flacka's seems pretty new, has a big seating area with greenery and Mexican decor, a parking lot, and great vibe. Service was super friendly! Chips and salsa are complimentary (yay!) & my fam loved their margaritas They were also happy to switch out meat for potatoes in our entrees. Our server also told us they have a great Taco Tuesday so check that out! Things that could have been a little better: -The burrito I had was cold and some of the ingredients felt undercooked/hard (chips were great tho!) -Service was slow -There is a service charge read more

This place deserves my review. They've earned it. We went there for taco Tuesday. The carnitas tacos were probably THE BEST I have ever had. The Al pastor tacos were another home-run. The $5.00 margaritas delicious refreshing and addicting especially the mango and the hibiscus. This will certainly now be my go to place for taco Tuesday's. Service fantastic thanks to Rosa and Ian. The owner/chef was friendly and grateful for our compliments. Ambiance clean and spacious with Easy parking in rear. read more

This is a local neighborhood spot that has really delicious food in an environmental that's comfortable but not fancy. The server was possibly the nicest person on earth. It made the whole experience even better. I had the chicken mole and my wife had the enchiladas suizas. Both were excellent and so was the tres leches cake. read more

The food was great! I had a chili relleno with rice and beans. Good flavor. Homemade corn tortillas and fresh salsa with a little spice. My waitress is very friendly. Plenty of room for big dinning. Bathroom is clean. AC yes!! Very cool inside. Was greated at the door. I hear this is a new owner. But no complaints in my part. Big quantity for the price of the food. read more

Came here tonight with some friends and everyone's plates looked amazing! I ordered a asada quesadilla and elote corn and everything was fabulous. My buddy ordered Molé and it was phenomenal. The chile verde was great also. This place is a wonderful new find. The staff was great also. Very quick to get our food and refill our drinks. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone! read more

Nice place. Not fancy but they do try and make their dishes upscale with plating, etc. Prices a little on the high side., I had 2 taco combo.the chorizo and the carnitas were a little dry. Pinto beans were bleh! Rice was good. I would prefer refried beans. Don't know if it was an option. Service was great but the waitress brought back my change and didn't give me it broken down so I could leave a 20% tip instead of 30. Intentional? Even though I'm giving it a 4, it was more of a 3 1/2. I wouldn't return, but I hope they do well. read more

Found this small gem as a recommendation from a friend. It's hard to find because they don't have a sign up yet but their food was really solid. Their poblano enchilada sauce was so so delicious. Salsa has a small kick which we appreciated. Our server was very kind and she gave us recommendations which was helpful. They have taco Tuesday specials for the street tacos which we will be back for! read more

This place was awesome! Amazing ceviche, delicious Al Pastor, cold beers, and great service! We will definitely be back again.

Very delicious gourmet Mexican food at affordable prices. Also the servers are very personable and efficient. I keep going back in order to sample the complete menu. read more

We went to pick up food. It was very busy. The atmosphere was very friendly the staff were very accommodating to those waiting. The food took 40 minutes, but it was worth it. The chicken was very good. The carne asada was very flavorful with some heat. This place makes the best refried beans. I would say that the food was very much worth the wait. Give this place a try. read more

Aguachiles are really good, spicy but like a yummy spicy. The ceviche de pulpo y camaron is really good as well. The waitress was really nice. Muy atenta la señorita. Good attitude. The cook came by to our table and ask about the food, we told him everything was on point. Loved the music that was playing while we ate, salsa !!! Todo limpio. Everything clean. read more

How am I just now learning about FLACKA'S?! Was craving Mexican food and wanted to try something new. As a flight attendant, I travel all over the world. And working for an airline that heavily services Mexico and Central America, I can confidently say that I know *real* good Mexican and Central American cuisine. When I tell you eating here sent me straight to Mexico City, WOW! For the owner to say "inspired by Mexico City cuisine" is an understatement. The molé?! OUT of this world. Made in house! And as a non-drinker, the iced tea was . (My bf did say the margarita was good and real. None of that pre mix business). Anyway. 10/10 highly recommend and will be back for more. Located in the old "super antojitos" building. read more

Great Food, Owners are very nice... however the service is very slow. This place could be great if they had more servers. Tried twice (in case we went on an off night) but painfully slow. We wanted to drink some of their amazing margaritas and would have ordered many more, but think the waitress was also the bartender. Missed opportunity! read more

Went here for lunch today with my son. There was only two tables with customers. It was very warm inside with only ceiling fans on with the front door open. One man at a table talking to the customers and a women at the other table with a costumer. Looked like it could be the owners don't know for sure. The man came took our order. He brought us a very small amount of chips and salsa and never offered more. I ordered the asada burrito and paid extra for the green sauce. It was hard to taste any cheese. I also had a classic margarita which was very good at least to my taste buds. My son ordered the asada torta that came with fries just very few of them, he said they were good, and crunchy with a seasoning and would have loved a few more. Everything was very tasty just seemed like they were being skimpy with things, it was noticeable. The only real complaint other than feeling like they were low on ingredients was my very good burrito had way too many onions, raw red and sautéed white onions. They were a little overwhelming. read more

I finally tried this restaurant after years of passing it by. Apparently, it changed owners about a year ago, but that's still one year I missed out on some delicious food. I had the enchiladas suizas, and my husband and son had chiles rellenos and carnitas. Everything was fresh and flavorful. Their sauces were excellent. To top it off, our server was super friendly and made us feel so at home. For dessert, we shared a tres leches cake, which was also great. We will definitely be back, because good food and good service are becoming rarer and rarer these days. read more

We arrived but when we walked in we realized their AC wasn't working. They said it was on but the room was too warm for us to sit down and enjoy our meal so we left. Will return when the weather and restaurant is cooler. read more

Overpriced and the food was less than average. Not worth it. Only positive was the lady at the service counter was friendly and enjoyable to talk to. read more

We tried Flacka's last week and we were really impressed. Their street tacos on Taco Tuesdays are $2.50 and they"re very good. Great service and friendly staff. Good atmosphere too. I just wish they would serve a bit of guacamole with their taquitos. We have been very disappointed and annoyed with Rodrigos lately so we are coming to Flacka's now. read more

After moving from Costa Mesa to Tustin we've been on the hunt for a GOOD Mexican restaurant in Tustin. This checks all the boxes. Super friendly service, perfect ambiance, and amazing food. read more

Customer service is excellent. Young man who served us today was excellent. We ordered tacos and juevos rancheros. Tacos were on homemade tortillas that were so good. $5 each or you can get taco plate with rice and beans for 15. Juevos rancheros were very spicy. Way too spicy and could not eat much of it. Salsa served is medium which was very spicy too. Remodeled when took over from old owner. Very nice and clean inside I really wanted to love this place but the food is way too spicy for our liking. read more

I have been going to Flakas for lunch for the last 3 months and they never disappoint. Their seasonal decor and awesome Spotify playlists makes it enjoyable for dine in. The owners are very nice and you are always greeted with a smile. When they aren't too busy they will mingle with their clients and ask for feedback on the food & service. My most recent visit included the tinga taquitos as an appetizer, which could have been a meal on its own and a chile relleño plate with rice and beans. The taquitos are so crispy you could hear the crunch in every savory bite! The tinga filling is delicious and for those that don't like onions in their tinga you won't even notice it's there. The hand made tortillas taste like nixtamal, made me reminisce of my mom's cooking. Delicioso! I also had the chile relleño plate. The filing is cheese, no meat, but nonetheless it has lots of flavor. The sauce on top is similar to a pomodoro sauce which is a chunky tomato sauce that I am not accustomed to on a chile relleño but it was a good combination. I was too full to try the rice but the beans didn't disappoint. Portions seem generous in my opinion. All in all everything we have tried there is amazing. The presentation of the food is wonderful and the taste is just as great! Little details at the location (ie. dia de los muertos decor and napkins) make your dining experience feel like you are eating at a family's home. Ask for seasonal dishes & the owner will surprise your palette!! One of my friends, who recommended Flakas, asked me to try the seasonal flor de calabaza tacos and for a minute I tasted a little piece of heaven. I would highly recommend this seasonal dish if you want something light but filling. Or if you are vegetarian and looking for a good taco. The salsita that accompanies this dish was oh so good! I absolutely will continue to keep this place in my lunch rotation at least once maybe twice a week. read more

We enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere and the service is excellent. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with a smile and warm welcome. Shoutout to Rosie! read more

It looks like it is closed at night but that is just the lighting! This is one of the best restaurants I've ever been to. Everything is homemade and has a ton of flavor. The chips and salsa are amazing. I've had the tres leches cake, the carnitas, and beef dishes. I recommend getting anything with the green salsa. The corn and flour tortillas are one of a kind. Expect everything to have a complex and amazing amount of flavor except for the beans and rice, which aren't bad but aren't flavor bombs with a lot of sugar like some other places. read more
