Been a hot minute since we've been to Taco Flats, but we came again this past week to meet up with friends who are obsessed with this place to watch some World Cup action. Honestly, we had a great time, and even though it's more like 3.5 stars, we're rounding up because we had such great service. There are good beers on tap, and one of us was a fan of the spicy margarita. The chips here are SO good. Love a chili-dusted chip! We ordered the trio of dips for the table, and while the salsa was spicy and fresh, the guac actually tasted like some of the avocado had turned a bit. The queso is delish! And while we appreciate that the dips come in to-go containers, which makes things easy, we don't love hot dips being served in plastic. Come on now, that's a bit of an own goal... For tacos, we scored with the chilango shrimp, which was tasty with a good balance of ingredients, but were bummed out by the birria taco, which was dry as a board without the consommé and had tough meat. Our daughter had a really impressive cheese quesadilla though--with a bunch of toasted cheese on its outskirts that made it extra fun and crispy. We especially want to shout out the amazing service we got. Our waitress was so sweet and fun, and was attentive without being overbearing. She seemed like she was handling a lot of the floor well. Also, the bartender was beyond gracious to our daughter who was being fussy about dessert options. All in all, a great hang with good enough food. We hope to be able to come back in another (almost) ten years :) read more

Came here for dinner and drinks and had such a great experience. The location is really cute, and we got the perfect outdoor seating (so nostalgic if you remember this as the old Zoclo spot!). We started with drinks, I tried the skinny marg which wasn't my personal favorite, but the spicy frozen margarita was so good and definitely the move. Our waitress was also super friendly, funny, and gave great recommendations. We ordered the dip trio to start and WOW it was fire. The chips were perfectly seasoned, the salsa had a slight sweetness that I loved, the guac tasted super fresh, and the queso with chorizo on top was goated. For tacos, I got the pollo asado (added grilled onions) and the chilango grilled shrimp taco, both were so flavorful. They also brought out extra salsas which made it even more fun to mix and match. Everyone else at the table loved their tacos too. Everything came out quickly, prices were super reasonable, and the whole experience was so nice. I'll definitely be back for both drinks and food! read more

Good atmosphere with friendly staff and pretty good food. However, the prices are insane for the portion sizes. I ordered caldo which was $9, and it came in a cup used for side dishes like rice/beans. I wasn't expecting a massive bowl, but it was incredibly small and had only 4-5 tiny cubes of chicken. Spicy margarita was alright, but again served in a very small glass. For 2 people our total after tip was around $75. This was for chips/queso, 1 drink each, and our meals - which was a salad and cup of caldo. I guess I recommend if you really do not care about value for your money and just want a place, but I think you can get better food/value elsewhere for sure. read more

I think this may be the worst Mexican food I've ever had in Austin. From the tajin covered chips (no other option) to the horrible tasting tacos, it was really disappointing. The margarita was good. That was the only thing redeeming. We eat out a lot in Austin and we will not return to Taco Flats. read more

Max and Elle were fabulous. We came here to get birria tacos, but got awesome service and delicious drinks as well. Queso y papas están fuego también. read more

Our waiter was friendly in terms of service, and the ambiance is that of a sports bar. I ordered a fish taco and a brisket taco per the waiter's recommendation. The fish taco featured was mahi mahi that day, and while I enjoyed it, their taco prices in general do feel pricey at an average of $8 each. The brisket taco wasn't my favorite, it was just too heavy and rich, but if that's your thing, then go for it. read more

Tried out Taco Flats for lunch on a Tuesday. Now I wish I lived more north because we really enjoyed our lunch. I ordered one battered shrimp taco and it was a good size where I only needed one since we already ordered queso. The queso was also really good. When in the area we'll definitely be back. read more

TACO FLATS FALLS FLAT: we ordered $80 worth of food and threw almost all of it away because it was inedible. The chicken and fish were rock hard. NOTHING was good. I should have realized when I walked in because there were lemon pieces on the floor behind the bar. It was too late anyway because we'd already paid for out take-out order. We will NEVER go back! read more

Tacos I tried ranked by order of best tasting: TF Original (4.5/5) - classic crunchy taco with picadillo. A upscale version of a crunchy taco you might get at a fast food spot. 2 for $8.50 total is actually an insane deal. The only downside is that there were mixed leafy greens that kind of overflowed in it. Usually, you get a shredded lettuce in this kind of taco, and I don't think replacing that with mixed greens helped. I would've welcomed more pico. Carnitas (4/5) - pretty classic carnitas taco, large portion of it. Don Ramon (4/5) - slow cooked beef in a charred crispy tortilla. I actually quite liked the crispy tortilla, and this was a BEEFY taco. They had a 2 for $7.50 each deal, which is high value. I just feel like there wasn't enough other flavor in this taco - I think some more crema or quac might've balanced this a bit more. I think overall, they had some pretty decent tacos - I just happened to go for the 2 for 1 deals, but otherwise it would've been very pricey. The taco meat could've used a little bit more seasoning, I think. Either that or more balance of the other taco toppings. The green salsa provided has a good kick to it. read more

We ordered the quesadilla and 2 tacos and their queso with chips to go. The food was ok but I just felt it was over price for what u get. Plus they charge u $ 4.25 extra for to go to cover the to go boxes etc. which I think it's crazy. Don't know if I will be going back there's better taco places to try. read more

I went to taco Flats this weekend to have a lunch. The service was amazing. You order from the barcode at the table and the waitress comes out. They have a lovely inside seating that the patio is covered and has a TV as well! I forgot to take a picture of my salad, but it was called daily greens and I added I'lladded Al Pastor meat on top, it was so delicious and so many yummy blueberries and nuts in it. I felt that I got a very good value for my money and was able to take leftovers as well. The 321 margarita was very refreshing. This is a great lunch spot and affordable. read more

Ive been here several times, really tasty tacos and drinks. Plenty of parking, fast service. Would recommend this place to anyone.

I popped into this restaurant because I was trying to go to peach tortilla, but they were not open. I got the flautas and it was not very good. Pretty unseasoned and the chicken was a little dry. For $13 it's also pretty overpriced. Service was friendly, but not sure I would come back again for the food. read more

This a huge surprise for us, as we have seen it, walked by it, looked at all the people going in just never thought about going in~ so HAPPY we finally ventured in~ a VERY PLEASANT dinner experience for sure. Casual menu tacos, ceviche, guacamole, frozen margaritas and like options~ Smaller inside than I expected, bar top tables inside, lots of outdoor seating too, a bit to HOT in the summertime, full bar and friendly wait staff. FREE PARKING too! read more

This one is just okay for my husband and I. Came on a Friday night and not at all overly crowded. Their menu online vs in restaurant/order through QR code is a bit different. Online it shows a vegan taco but in restaurant it wasn't marked that way, but assuming it was the same. I got the vegan taco (Austinite), a margarita, and the berry salad. The salad was quite big but mostly lettuce. Everything was okay but nothing that impressed me. It's a cute spot though! read more

I just ordered 3 tacos for lunch, a shrimp taco, and the BOGO carnitas tacos. Appartenly, they ran out of carnitas, so they substituted for chorizo, instead of contacting me. I guess they also just decided to not include the shrimp taco either. I got three of the greasiest chorizo tacos I have ever seen in my life. This was my first time ordering from this place, and it certainly will be last. read more

Not sure how I've been living here for so long and never actually made it to a Taco Flats location. We came in on a Sunday, right before lunch time and the place was relatively quiet. We all ordered a spicy margarita and a gringa taco. For starters, this place is definitely not the cheapest taco around, but I can definitely say they make up for it in flavor, ingredients, and size. The taco comes out on a fresh made tortilla (this in a must for any top quality taco spot) and filled to the brim with wonderful meat goodness. These was definitely no small taco. Topped off with a green sauce that has just the right amount of spice to it, you really can't go wrong. All that being said, I feel the need to talk about the margarita. Not only do they really take pride in their frozen margaritas, but they also make their own in-house tajin to put on the rim. It adds such a unique spin on the drink that really steps it up to another level. read more

This is our go to spot when we're craving birria tacos but we opted for something different this visit. We ordered: - Michelada Ojo Rojo (I can never turn down a michelada. The ojo rojo was $1 more than a regular michelada but not sure what the difference was. Tasted like a regular ol' miche) - Tostadas De Atun -- I love me tuna tostadas. The tuna was seared but not overly done so it wasn't chewy. The fried leeks, sauce, perfectly crisp tortilla ... all so good. This was my favorite item of the day! - Dirty South -- I didn't know they did brunch. Like full on pancakes type of brunch. Dirty South is on the brunch menu (scrambled eggs, cheese, bacon, refried beans, potatoes). Another hit. - Chicken Flautas -- four big flautas with guac and some cabbage (I thought it was slaw but it didn't have any flavor so I think it's just shredded cabbage). - San Chorizo -- my husband scarfed his down before I could try it. Assuming it was good lol Yes, parking is a hit or miss, but the food is worth it. We also had a great server. read more

I'm torn on Taco Flats. My first visit was actually great. I came alone and ordered a few tacos plus a few delicious margaritas, staying for a while to finish up some design work. Server and owner (?) were super friendly. There's a reason I came back. However, my second visit was not quite as lovely. Starting with the good. GF and I enjoyed some great margaritas, no qualms there. I love a simple house margarita with salt. I didn't like her mezcal drink but it looked pretty. Now for the tacos... It's a shame because they look great from a distance. And at first bite, they're not so bad. But they fell short a little bit. Not one but two fell completely through. Back onto the plate into a greasy pile. I don't remember this happening the first time, but sadly they were no fun to eat and the taste was subpar. I think they can do better. The other tacos I remember (Pollo Asado, and the shrimp) were even more meh. I feel a little harsh for giving 3 stars, it's not my jam, but the check ended up being $60 for two drinks and 4 tacos. I may have tipped on top of a service fee. Idk. Either way it felt wrong. Sigh. read more

Good Taco Vs Bad Taco stopped in for a lunch to try out a few tacos. has a nice vibe that may be fun for happy hour or Saturday night. However the food left some room for improvement. TF Original, crispy ground beef taco that is larger than your average taco. The shell was crispy and it had a good amount of filling. It was topped with fresh greens. The Beef had a smokiness to it. It was very noticeable, not a bad flavor just unique. I like it and would say it was about a 3 star taco. Chicken Mole Taco, I was so excited to try their mole taco and was so let down by it. When i think of mole I am thinking of thick rich, sweet, spice, brown sauce with a hint of coco. Their mole is anything but that. It is thin red and not very tasty. In fact when the waiter brought out the taco he said, "Mole Taco" as he sat it down. If he had not stated it I would have called them back and said the order was wrong. In fact after I tried it I went to yelp and found pictures of if to make sure it was the mole taco. Yes, this in fact was the same taco. To make matters worse not only was the sauce bad, but the chicken was so overcooked it was dry and crumbled in your mouth. even with all the sauce and adding extra salsa it was still very dry. I ended up just scraping off the chicken mix and eating the beans and rice that were under it. all in all a 1 star taco avoid it if you love mole. We had a large party and while I only tried two tacos I was able to poll the rest of the group and everyone had a similar opinion, one of their tacos was good and the other was not. All the tacos are a good size and cost between 4 and 5 dollars. I would say that its a crap shoot on getting a good taco here some are fine while other are not worth the time. all in all there are just better choices and if you are going just for food and not drinks, probably just hit up Chipotle. Would not return or recommend read more

We meant to go to the Peached tortilla but ended up going there. The inside has a old Austin vibe that we just loved.

Tried the pollo asada, carne and fish tacos. Loved all. read more

Always my absolute favorite been coming here since they opened. The food is authentic and the spicy frozen is the best in town!

We have found our new "neighborhood" hangout. Comfortable bar area and nice outdoor space. The bartender was great and really nice. It was nice they weren't really busy because we had her undivided attention. I can't speak for the food yet but the frozen margarita with jalapeños and lime topper was amazing. My hubby said he was really impressed with their selection of Scotch and Bourbon. We laughed that it was the first time we've ever been to the same bar two days in a row. Oh well, the service was good why not visit twice? read more

Cannot believe we haven't been here before. A really cool Mexican spot in central austin! The ambiance is great, the beers on top are really good and a great selection, their margaritas are. Super tasty. The service staff is super friendly and accommodating and the food was really good. For food, we had the Carne Asada Taco, TF original taco, Chips and Queso, salsa rojas, and guacamole, as well as the Chicken Flautas. Carne asana taco - was too big of pieces and chewy for my preference Tf original taco - my favorite thing I tried by far! Definitely get this. Chips and sides - all really good and worth ordering if you are looking for sides Chicken flautas - these were too dry for me... All in all a great place to check out and try their food and have some great drinks. read more

Even though tacos seem a bit overpriced, they do come with plenty of meat. The chicken mole taco was delicious (totally recommend) and the Gringa was ok. Beans were good and the spanish rice didn't have much flavor. Drinks: recommend to go during happy hour, but the spicy margarita is delicious with a nice kick to it. Service: was a bit slow, but totally understandable as they were pretty busy when I went. read more

My first review during the new-normal. Taco Flats has a great selection of tacos at a very reasonable price. Great for that "lunch with co-workers and some margs". FOOD AND SERVICE: Not too busy during the day, we were greeted fairly quickly and put in our orders. Food came quick, so it's easy to get in-and-out and back to work. Tacos were sized fairly. Healthy portion of 'toppings', but not overflowing. The salsa s were BOMB. Slightly disappointed that they ran out of the hibiscus agua fresca, will have to come by again to see if this was a one-off or if they should just remove it from the menu. PARKING: Plenty of parking in the back. I give Taco Flats 4 taco emojis, out of 5 read more
