This place is honestly just a whole vibe. It feels like the neighborhood hangout--lots of people, good energy, and you can tell folks actually enjoy being there (not just eating and leaving). First thing I noticed? It's super clean and really comfortable. Like, the kind of place where you sit down and immediately think, "Yeah... I could stay here for a while." The ambiance is laid-back, cool, and just easy. Now let's talk food--because WOW. The tacos were packed with flavor and seriously delicious. No complaints there at all... I might've been a little too happy while eating them. I did get a skinny margarita, and I'm not gonna lie--it was good, but it showed up looking a little... shy. Smaller than I expected and a bit pricier than I would've liked. But hey, the food definitely made up for it, so I'll let it slide this time. And the staff? Super friendly across the board. The waiters, manager, bartenders--everyone was cool, welcoming, and just easy to talk to. Makes a big difference. Overall, I'd definitely recommend this spot. Great food, great people, great vibe... just maybe order two margaritas if you're feeling festive. read more

Had the flautas which were good, margaritas are yummy and not too sweet as well as the Paloma. Bartender gentleman was nice as well. The interior is lacking color and vibrant decor but that is a personal preference lol . Has a good size bar but no live music read more

Food is really delish, they have a lot of options for flavor profiles and preferences. The staff is friendly, helpful and warm. The prices (including 10% tax for "to-go" orders to "cover packaging") are a little out of touch. We won't order from here anymore for that reason. read more

Taco Flats is a really great spot in the heart of Lakeway in the same shopping center as Firehouse Subs and SP Brazilian Steakhouse. I have been several times for lunch and for happy hour. They have table service, full bar, generous portions and delicious food. I highly recommend their homemade chips and queso. They are the best chips in town by far! The tacos are very large and filling. Check this place out. You won't regret it. read more

The tacos are simply outstanding. This place hit the marks for what a great Taco place should be. Freshly made tortillas, savory meats, fresh fixing and salsas. The flavors were spot on with each of the items we tried. They have all the standards including carne asada, al pastor, chicken, shrimp and so on. They also have quesadillas and quesos. The queso with chorizo is excellent. Good consistency and it pairs nicely with the freshly made chips. The Pirata taco was outstanding. Melted cheese, black bean puree and super tender fajitas. So good. The quesadillas were very good as well. Lots of tender fajitas and gooey cheese. The cheese crust on one side really elevated this dish. Plenty of drinks and cocktails to choose from. Service was excellent. read more

Been here twice, both times it seems pretty mediocre. Food is so so, music mix was all over the place. Server was nice though.

The food was absolutely amazing. The Taco recipes are passed down through the owners family . This is a great spot to hang out on a weekend night. read more

Taco Flats-Lakeway - Tacos Near Me - Lakeway, Texas

The location in old town Lakeway with the awkward vibe of strange interior, food truck like service and food, and trying to be a bar with food vs a restaurant with a bar, Taco Flats falls flat. While the service was attentive, the Chicken Mole tacos was nothing more than an outside burrito folded like a taco with ZERO mole flavor texture or anything but delicious. It sort of reminded me of the burrito you buy as a college student. Next up was the Nachos. Coming in a pizza take-out box, it was a ton of chicken and veggies but mostly uncooked but mixed cooked and uncooked jalapeños. If you like pizza supremes, this is your item. Large for sharing but the rawness of the item is less than desirable and something any one could do. The queso with chorizo certainly rivals the best in Austin. But the freshly made chips were greasy. This location wasnt family friendly even though it think every place in Lakeway strives to be. I can see most sitting at tables looking around waiting for their items to arrive is a key indicator that kitchen service is very slow. The indoor / garage door outdoor ambience just doesn't work. Serving dine-in in paper trays and trying normalizing we will charge you a fortune and expect a tip while serving in to-go containers, it's hard to compliment. Certainly those that golf may find this place convenient and above average compared to clubhouses with the bar first, then food priority. Uninspiring. Save your money and time. read more

Food was subpar. Ambiance was lacking. Felt rather cavernous. Service was unfriendly. read more

We picked a freezing afternoon to check out the Lakeway Taco Flats, and entered to a warm welcome from the friendly employees. The restaurant is surprisingly large with relaxing decor and has a full bar with seating along the back, along with multiple tables and chairs. Multiple TVs are mounted on each wall, and each displayed a sports channel, except the one with a film loop of a flickering fireplace. Their menus include a separate brunch and all-day menu, with creative tacos on your choice of flour or corn tortillas. Each breakfast/brunch taco includes scrambled eggs. They also have soup and the most amazing daily greens salad, with walnuts and a plethora of fruits and veggies and citrus dressing. Their chips and salsa are homemade, just the right amount of heat and flavor, with a chili pepper coating on the tortilla chips. Drinks range from tap beer to craft cocktails, which you can peruse on their drink menu. Taco Flats is a bit of an upgrade from similar other local taco places, like Torchy's and Taco Deli. It's also a bit more expensive. A light lunch for two and a mixed drink ran us about $40 plus tip. They also will prepare orders to go, and have a separate to-go counter at the far right corner of the bar. Parking is available free in the shopping center lot. read more

I went to Hectors taco flats often in the 70's. Was amazed to see the family tradition carried on. Always loved their individuality and flavors! A place not to miss! read more

Some of the most flavorful tacos from one of the most unsuspecting places I've been to in a long time! Very friendly staff even when I pulled in with about 30min until closing time. Tacos were so fresh and flavorful I forgot to take a pic of all 4 of them I ate LOL!!! Will say the birra taco was my least fav only because I'm not used to having my taco shell fried almost like a hard shell. Best one had to be the Pirata. The grilled beef was so flavorful and tender, so authentic I couldn't believe it!!! The Chilango shrimp one was amazing as well as the Gringa taco. read more

It's finally open! We've been waiting sooo long for this Austin favorite to come to Lakeway! We stopped in to check them out and just had marg's and apps but the menu is similar to the Burnet location. They're still in a soft opening phase, with shorter hours ( opens at 3) but I'm sure that will evolve over time - at least I hope so on weekends! Bartender made a great classic Margarita - just G4, Cointreau and lime juice. No sugar! Yay! Queso and Guacamole have NO RAW ONIONS! YAY again! Salsa had perfect amount of heat too. With 7 TV's and lots of shared farmhouse bar top tables, this place will surely become a fav sports environment for our locals. Looking forward to trying more tacos! read more

Awesome food!! Their chips and queso are fantastic!! I also enjoy their Migas tacos.

Taco Flats has amazing tacos. The service is amazing and drinks are tasty too! Low key and laid back. A "go to" for a great quick meal, to linger with friends, or take out! read more

They have crunchy tacos, we need them at riata. So unfair, who doesn't love crunchy tacos! read more

For more than a few reasons, I was nervous about trying this place, but this is a cute little funky spot really surprised me with a few unique options. Nothing too crazy, just flavorful additions, fantastic service, and huge portions. Again, we grabbed a seat, and our server immediately set the mood, casual, friendly, homey (even for first time non-locals). I have to have my queso, and I'll admit, that queso wasn't the most flavorful but the jalapeño's helped. I'm sure churizo mades the difference here so my bad for modifying in a way it's not meant to be consumed. Please know that when they say the taco flats are huge, they are huge! Imo you really only need one, and whatever you order, make sure you add fried jack to your taco. You're welcome! read more

Tried calling in for an order. First thing was no longer available, I guess the menu they had online was an old one. Second thing I asked for they said they do not do for To-go orders. Third thing one of the tacos they were out of for the night, and at this point it seemed a bit comical and I Just said never mind but thank you! I would love to try it out sometime, hopefully in the future they have enough supplies, the correct updated menu online, and nicer employees. read more

We came here as a big group of 12 and had a great time! The food was super tasty -- everything came out hot and fresh, and the tacos were packed with flavor. Our server was really friendly and kept up with our big group without missing a beat. Chill vibe, good music, and plenty of space. Definitely recommend Taco Flats in Lakeway if you're looking for a fun place with great food and service read more

Our server Dakota was so kind and helpful! The food was amazing. Loved the queso and tacos!

Really good food. The chicken flautas are great. Love the tacos. Both chicken and pork delish. Queso is really good. Service super and fast'

The first time I had the Al pastor taco it was awesome. Pork was juicy and fresh and the seasonings were incredible. The past two times we have come here and ordered the same taco it was dry and had chewy pieces. I think they get their meat from their other location and it just didn't seem as fresh last night (Friday) or last Saturday when we brought friends. Also noticed their flour tortillas are hard; not as fresh as they used to be. Sad because we loved this place. The drinks are killer, bartenders are quick. However we have waited over 20 - 30 mins lately for our tacos which seems like a very long wait for 4 tacos. Servers and bartenders are always friendly, but the kitchen needs to up their game. There were also a ton of chips on the floor in the kitchen area, could be cleaner. read more

Taco Flats-Lakeway - Al pastor and the pirata tacos - Tacos Near Me - Lakeway, Texas

Love this place! Been here with co-workers, friends, and family- all great experiences. They have a fun house fireball mix to start the night. Great staff too read more

The food here is delicious, I just have one minor complaint..........the Queso could use more cheese!!!!! The chips are super good!!! Service is good and staff are welcoming. The restaurant is just a tad industrial and not being much of an interior designer, I have no idea what to suggest. I will continue to frequent Taco Flats though, keep up the good work read more

A top tier taco spot in an unassuming strip mall in Lakeway! We've driven past Taco Flats literally hundreds of times without ever knowing it's there! But tucked away, just off 620, is one of the best taco spots in Austin. I'll dare say it's taken Torchy's crown. The interior is more spacious than you would expect. A bunch of high-tops, plenty of bar seating, and curiously, a single bay garage door for the rare days when it's nice enough to let the outdoors in. Admittedly, I was very put off at the idea of having to pay for chips & salsa. But the chips are hand made and the salsa is among the best I've ever had. We ended up with 4 tacos: carnitas, chori-queso, birriia and al pastor. All were phenomenal, with the exception of the birria, which seemed overly greasy. Very generous portions though. Cocktail prices are reasonable, in the $9-11 range, but they have a $2 off HH so we'll be revisiting Taco Flats soon! read more

I was honestly disappointed after my 1st visit!? Heard it was great tacos, which weren't bad... kinda small for my liking, but I guess it's expected during happy hr!? I got 2 tacos and guacamole... costing $27?!? Should've just stopped at a truck. Atmosphere was nothing special... read more

First time visiting this location! Great place to watch games! Great service & yummy tacos, as usual! Thanks Taco Flats! read more

Always great food where ht taking to go or eat in. Very friendly wait staff and bar tender. The unfortunate side of great taco truck-style food is that I order too much and have to take home. Those homemade chips and dip are so good, but don't travel well. Everything is five times better to eat in than to take out. read more

Only been to the one in Lakeway which does not draw a crowd. For tacos, good but it's a taco and it cost as much to go there as a Chuy's or Maudies...no ambience at all read more

Fantastic tacos. The Barbacoa with the verde is classic and full of flavor. If you want something more complex go with the Birria or the Pirata tacos. If you're wanting to spend some more time, get the pick three and make sure to snag the Escabeche. The thinly cut pickled jalapeños / carrots are perfect with their seasoned chips. The service was great too. Has more of a bar vibe, but it's clean and open. read more

Great menu. The Posole is best in class and the tortillas are house made. Great stuff read more

W loved Taco Flats when we were there a month ago, so I reached out to reserve a table for our neighborhood Christmas Gathering.. Hobie was so thoughtful... We had a table for 10 reserved for us.. Our server was so attentive and kept up with separate checks...Every dish was so creative and delicious... We'll be back.. read more

First, I'm a big fan of the Taco Flats location on Burnet Rd. And I love the tacos and have overly enjoyed the margarita casera. But this Lakeway location was like eating in a high school cafeteria. No ambiance. Sterile lighting. Too many TVs. Too loud since there is nothing to absorb the sounds. Weirdly open spaces on one side of the place, etc. Even Torchy's has more ambiance. For now, I'll keep hitting up the Burnet Rd location with hopes they do something to make this spot more inviting. read more

A great place to get a beer and some tacos, nice atmosphere with a large bar and plenty of TV's. Have lots of drink and food options and overall is a great place to have dinner. read more

The food is good. Service is attentive. Drinks are fitting for the food and margaritas hand made. Recommend this restaurant

We have been meaning to try this place for awhile. Well, today was the big day. We went for an early-ish lunch and everything was AMAZING!! Clean, great service and fantastic food! We had the trio -salsa (it's def on the spicy side), queso and guacamole. Great flavors and generous sizes for the price! They also serve in a to-go container so super easy to add the top and bring home the left overs. The tortillas were fresh and delicious. I had corn and hubby had flour and loved them both. The meat was really flavorful and the serving sizes were fantastic!! Highly recommend this local, family owned restaurant. They take pride in grandma's (Abuela) recipes!! read more

DELICIOUS! So much flavor, we tried 4 different tacos and the queso, everything impressed us. We got it to-go and everything was packaged perfectly. Only suggestion is that if you call your to-go order in they should bypass using toast-tab (to avoid the unnecessary fees). I will be coming back! read more

It's no frills inside, BUT the food is great! We eat here weekly, and personally love their nachos and homemade guacamole! Their tacos are super filling and always fresh! read more

Avoid. First visit...overcharged and had to refund and re-ring. Things happen. Second visit...price discrepancy between menu and automated tablet and she would not adjust. About 20 different options could have been taken but only one would result in a cancellation and losing a customer. She chose poorly. Just a shady feeling where expectations are customers won't notice the prices have been manipulated. They also add a 10% carry out which is new to Lakeway. This is ignoring $50 for 3 adult tacos and 4 children's tacos. Not big nor good enough for that pricing. Life is too short and way too many options to be treated with such contempt. read more

Ordered online through their toast app. Ordered several tacos - some with corn and some with flour tortillas due to a gluten allergy. Tacos came with nothing on outside indicating which were corn and which were flour. And, unfortunately, they all looked the same. I called in just to let someone know that it is important to mark the tacos for those with gluten intolerances. The woman I spoke with said yes, I agree, we have had others complain. She said, if you mark it in the online order that you would like them marked as to which ones are corn, they will do that, there will just be an additional charge per taco. Wow, really? The local gas stations that sell tacos mark them on the outside foil with a sharpie and there is no up charge. Also, be aware that there is a 10% service charge to order online. I try to give these places in Lakeway and Bee Cave my business because I am tired of seeing places open and close within a year or two. The number one reason these places are closing is customer service. The second is that their food goes downhill and people stop going because the experience and food are no longer worth the effort or money. The reason I ordered online / takeout this time was because the last two times I have been there, I sat and waited for someone to welcome me or bring me a menu for at least 15 minutes. The last time, I had to go up and interrupt the servers standing around laughing and talking to ask if I could please get a menu. They all looked at me like I was inconveniencing them. If you aren't willing to take care of your customers or even make them feel welcome when they walk in the door, then why are you in the business? I will never order from this place again because they are barely trying. I thought the tacos were good at first - and thought maybe I could put up with the terrible service - but, now these $8 tacos are greasy and slopped together - and just not worth it. read more
