    Queso Birilla Tacos
    Naidy E.

    Birilla Tacos are amazing , the caldo brings extra meat inside. The ladies are nice and attentive, familyoriented vibes.

    Good food, drinks and service. Beef or chicken enchiladas are excelllent. The complimentary chips were excellent too and fresh. Can't go wrong with this place.

    Birrias sauce
    Angel M.

    THE BIRRIA TACOS ARE AMAZING. So is the charro beans, their breakfast plates, and the service! The vibe hit us wrong the first time, very empty place but omg the food is INCREDIBLE. Now the drinks- eh. And that's the only reason I took a star off. But we were looking for a local Mexican restaurant with birria tacos, and this place blew us away. Southside location, staff is sweet, great prices. The drinks- so they're not flexible on what they offer, you can only order what drinks are displayed on the menu which was a little odd. I wasn't a fan of the margaritas but the food is so dang good I wasn't even interested in a drink lol. This is a hidden gem! CHECK IT OUT!!

    Churros

    Called to place an order for churros for pickup. The man on the phone was super nice and it was so easy. The churros were ready within 5 minutes and they tasted wonderful. If you want churros, come here!

    Jalisco burrito #2
    Kevin A.

    The place is Clean, the staff is nice and well trained. No rattling empty cup wanting a refill and try to flag someone down, they are there to wait on you and make you feel welcomed and it shows. A concept that is becoming lost. The food was delicious and value priced. I had the #2 Diablo burrito with fajita meet and i am ashamed to admit that I ate it all. It is big and too much food for a lightweight eater luckily I'm no lightweight. For food that is delicious and done right with a waitress staff that waits on you, you must come here. I will be back soon

    It was tough to decide whether to four or five stars. I've only been here once, so I'll start with…read morefour and perhaps after a few more visits it'll become clearer. It is an intimate space, rectangular, with about 10 or so small tables and room for about 10 at the bar. Along with the laid back crowd, allowing you to hear the people you're drinking with, this place won me over big on its vibe. But we don't visit bars just for the vibe and the company, we go for some drinks. They have a small list of signature cocktails, but of course, you can ask for what you want. I got the Blueberry Pomegranate Martini. The liqueur in it was really smooth and tasty. For its simplicity it was also adorned with actual blueberries. Sounds good so far, so why the lack of the fifth star? The service was very friendly and professional but drinks were churning out slow, despite the numerous bartenders at the moment. After a few drinks we were attended by a different bartender. Johnny personally introduced himself prior to grabbing our order. He made it a point to provide attentive service and recommend drinks. He was very knowledgeable and familiar with the menu. Great guy! Overall, intimate cozy space, striving for a classy look, great tasting drinks, best for couples, and average priced drinks. I am looking forward to going back, but might go on a weekend. I could see this being a go-to spot for people who live nearby and like higher end cocktails.

    Great experience every time I come here. All bartenders are very personable. Different offers…read moredaily. $1 for champagne, $3 for Bloody Mary. I think they're geared towards the college students in the area which is just an added benefit for me. What's best, you can go to Jalisco's a few doors down, order food and bring it to the bar. Great stop if you're in the Corpus area.

    I want to start with saying this is not a review on the establishment itself. It's a review on the…read moreemployees Michaela, Tyler, and Abby. This makes me really sad to have to write as I've been coming here regularly for a while now. I LOVE the flock bar and am honestly just so devastated and appalled at how I was treated there last night (new years eve) by the bartenders working. Michaela, Tyler, and Abby were all completely intoxicated behind the bar. They were trying to serve drinks but were too intoxicated. I was standing quietly with my friend just waiting for their drinks with them at the end of the bar. Michaela then drops off his drinks after taking 30+ minutes to even say a word to us. She gives us the drinks and turns to me and looks me in the eye with so much hate and disrespect & says "oh we hate you here." "You're the most annoying person & you order the most annoying drinks" I just apologized and said I just love the way y'all make my drinks they're always amazing I'm sorry, she then follows that up with "we just hate you here and you're honestly so rude and inconsiderate for ordering those drinks here". For reference, my usual is a French 75. I have given so many people recommendations for this bar solely for how amazing this drink is and the staff. So hearing this was very extremely hurtful. She rolled her eyes and then walks away with nothing but HATE in her eyes for me. I say let's leave to my friends but they wanted to speak to a manager, so we spoke to Tyler. He's sitting there speaking very kindly saying he's so sorry he can't do anything to make it right but he can comp our tabs. He walks away and as he's "comping our tab" he is laughing and hugging and talking about us in the meanest manner to this same bartender (Michaela). Still silent just standing at the end of the bar wanting to leave, Abby then walks over and unprovoked YET AGAIN she turns to me looks me in the eyes and says "we're busy babes" and rolls her eyes and walks into the freezer. Michaela then walks over and drunkenly tells us "we're kicked out" and walks back falling all over. We still are just standing here quietly not saying a word to them like we haven't all night. Tyler comes back with a completely different attitude and says he comped my friends tab. My friend who's tab I would not have even been on if I had ordered, she then tells Tyler that he forgot my boyfriends tab. He then tells us and points at my boyfriend saying "he doesn't matter right now". Tyler is focusing his attention on my friend and not even giving me the time of day, the person who was extremely mistreated unprovoked by him and his staff. He then says "I got the whole story and you're drunk pointing (directly at me) so yall have to leave" .....This was far from the truth and that is a fact because I had zero plans of drinking, and if I did, the bartenders only pay attention to certain people (men) and were taking 30+ min and ignoring my friends at the side of the bar near the patio. So no, I was not drunk, and I didn't even have a tab or try and order a drink what so ever. I asked for the name of an owner or head manager and Tyler refuses to give me and my friends any names what so ever. We leave and that's that. I also want to say that at the beginning of the night my boyfriend did attempt to order a French 75 for myself. While I wasn't with him, Michaela rudely tells him "we're not doing those tonight" as the special of the night is a French 75. She tell proceeds to make French 75 for another man who walked up to the bar right after my boyfriend. She was so drunk she completely lost my friends card and forgot to queue any drinks in so they came up to us and asked what we had while we where trying to leave because she didn't do it at all. They were hurt and offended. This is not her first time treating me and my friends this way and we usually brush it off, but seeing as to how intoxicated she was behind that bar and knowing that's the reason she treated me this way I have to say something about it now. It's a review on the poor staff who should never be in the customer service industry again
