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

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

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

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

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 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

Discovered Flacka's while on a walk and so happy we did! The food is so fresh and delicious. From the chips and salsa to the tacos/burritos, you will be looking forward to your next visit. 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

Excellent food and service. I wish more people knew about this restaurant. They were very accommodating to a friend in my party who couldn't eat spicy food. They prepared eggs and potatoes for her. Quality food. My salmon was cooked perfectly and the poblano sauce was delicious. read more

Great food and Service. We had asada burrito , cheese Enchilada and the chile verde. Everything great !! Definitely coming back.

Muy buena comida con sabor casero las tortillas buenas y el servicio de julio super, todo muy completo

The tacos were fantastic. My husband and I went for taco Tuesday and we thought they had the best tacos.

I had the Ensalada de casa with shrimp. it was excellent. The dressing was delicious, I could eat it by the spoonful. The shrimp were perfectly seasoned and cooked. Service was very spot-on. My only complaint is that I wish they made a blended margarita. read more

The service was top notch. The server shared with us her favorite and most popular dishes. We had guacamole, arrachera platillo and the fish tacos. All were very good! I highly recommend this place and I know we will be back. read more

This place was an amazing find. Their sign up front is still getting worked on so you may miss it if you drive too fast but it's nestled right on the corner with room to park. The food was really good and the restaurant inside was a lot more spacious than it appears on the outside. I met up with a friend I hadn't seen in a long time and they allowed us to chat well after we finished our food despite nearing closing time. The customer service was exceptional. We had a fantastic server. She was awesome! They let us know that they will be celebrating Cinco de Mayo with Taco Tuesday and also Mother's Day buffet style. I definitely want to check that out. New ownership that's been there almost two years. Owner came by to check on us and make sure everything was great. I recommend giving this place a try. read more

The morning we came in it was just one person as host, server and cook. As a host he was good, as a server her was good, as a cook he was eggsellent! I had the green chilaquiles that were delicious and my hubby had huevos rancheros which were also delicious. The restaurant was clean and the music nice and relaxed. Great experience! Todo sabroso! 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

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

4.5 stars Had the chicken enchiladas lunch special with rice and beans for $13. Great deal and delicious. Chicken was white meat and excellent quality. Green sauce was tasty. Great spot read more

I had an otherwise pleasant dining experience take an unexpected turn when the bill arrived after enjoying the meal. I noticed an added service fee for using a credit card. This hadn't been mentioned at any point during the seating or ordering so I asked the server for clarification. She politely explained that there is a sign posted at the front entrance, informing customers about the fee. While I appreciated the explanation, the sign itself was small and not something I had noticed when walking in. A charge like that would have been better communicated more clearly, either by the host, the menu, or a more visible notice. Transparency matters, and while the fee itself was small, the surprise of it left a less favorable impression than the meal deserved. read more

First time trying Flackas. Food and service was great. I'm a tough critic for Mexican food, everything we tried was delicious. Had the arachera, enchiladas suizas and taquitos. Looking forward to trying more items from the menu. read more

We popped into Tustin and decided to go have a bite at Super Antojitos and to our surprise it is now Flakas. It has a very different vibe, it's a nice cozy elegant place. I love all the decor and it's brighter. The food is absolutely amazing. It takes ur taste buds back to that home made/ hand made grandma's cooking. The service was wonderful and I can tell they put their heart into the food and the service. Very friendly. We are definitely going back the next time we are in Tustin. Oh P.S. flan was like a party in my mouth. So delicious!!! read more

What can I say this place is amazing. First time eating there for lunch today and all of the different food choices from burritos to Fresh Fish to unsweetened iced tea and the delicious flan dessert made my stomach very happy and will definitely be going back again and again every time I'm down in the Tustin area. The service is amazing and the staff and owners are extremely friendly and there's an off street parking lot for your convenience. Lots of tables nicely decorated and even comfortable boots to sit at. read more

Food was extraordinarily good . Best carnitas I've ever had. Yes I know that's a strong statement considering the many choices for carnitas in OC...BUT go and see for yourself Incredible friendly efficiency service. Located across the street from pepper tree park on 1sr St. Definitely check this place out. Used to be a Super Antojitos location. Flacka's is leaps and bounds better. read more

Hidden gem! This restaurant being under new management was the best thing that could've happened! Super clean, and we were welcomed so warmly by the owners when we walked in. Right after sitting down, we got fresh chips ,homemade guacamole and salsa, which were both amazing. All the drinks are homemade too--the chia cucumber agua fresca, horchata, and Jamaica were so refreshing and tasty. I've tried so many things here--from the signature Flackas salads to the mole, enchiladas, and chilaquiles--and everything has been seriously good. The portions are generous, and the food tastes fresh and made with care. I always take something to go! As a vegetarian, I really appreciated all the options and swaps I can make!My group also had the menudo, mole, and ceviche and couldn't stop talking about how good everything was. Definitely coming back to try more! read more

I love Mexican food. I wanted to try this place really bad. I walked in and the hostess ignored me. I eventually asked her if she wanted me to sit anywhere. She said yeah, that is fine. Three Mexican guys walked in after me and she took their order right away. Maybe because I'm white? I walked out when I realized I was not going to be served. read more

The food is pretty good but the bill was very expensive. Between 2 people it came out to be about $100.

Food was very delicious and authentic. Place is under new management and still in the in its transitional period it seems like. I would absolutely recommend this place to anybody who was wants REAL Mexican food. Food was flavorful and cooked perfectly. They offer great deals and we plan to come back for their taco Tuesday promo. Also, I would also come back just for the margaritas. read more
