    Trio - Salsa, Queso and Trio Guacamole, Queso, Salsa Roja and Chips
    Adrienne P.

    It's been 10 years since I've had Taco Flats...and today did not disappoint. Great to see they've expanded locations and still serving up delicious food. Love the chill vibes and excellent service.

    This review is for a quick solo stop in. Sat at the bar! Madi was great. Friendly, gave good recommends and was attentive. Had the papas and el hippie taco along with 2 cocktails Palomita and Oaxacan Wipeout. Both were well made. Pictures attached for specials and hh. For it being in my neighbourhood I know I'll be back. Note: Vegetarians/Vegans - Flour tortillas have lard in them.

    Chori-queso taco
    Dan K.

    Tacos for hipsters, poseurs, scenesters and poets... and bosses in bad crisp white shirts who don't know it. In an ideal Yelp way, 3 stars is a solid rating but in reality, someone's gonna get their feelings hurt. Regardless, let's taco about it. Alternative title: "I came in hungry, left greasy". Taco Flats at Riata has all the appeals of a hipster joint in an upscale office park adjacent strip mall in a planned "resort style" apartment community. It all checks out! Everything from the qr-code order and pay on your phone service to the modern industrial-chic look they've got going on. "¡Autentico!" We came in search of Birria tacos, which have already jumped the culinary shark (brussels sprout?), this place was nearby. Not having been yet, we high fives and proclaimed, "game on!" Along with my in-house counsel, we both got a Birria taco a piece. She got a chori-queso taco and a beer and I also got an al pastor. "Never shop hungry" is good advice, if you can get it, so being hungry we ordered a small queso. Chips and Queso: Generally disappointing. The chips are tasty but are DROWNING in a spice (paprika?) which is overwhelming and a turnoff. The cheese itself wasn't super hot so it didn't act like queso should. (Eg. it was too firm and not runny enough). Also the menu boasted about jalapenos but there was a sprinkling of something not spicy. "White people queso!" was a phrase that was uttered. Additionally it was served in a to go container. Who likes eating in a restaurant as if you're outside? Would not order again. The Birria taco was a study on "what to do when you diced too many onions". I love me onion and cilantro. I usually ask for extra. Here, however, you couldn't even dip the taco in the consommé because it was all onion. The tortillas were fried and greasy. Tasty, but greasy. Would not order again. Al pastor followed suit. It was also tasty but a pile of onions and pineapple. Grease city. Also the meat chunks were HUGE. Would probably order again, if I return which is... unlikely. Was the food filling? Yes. Was it tasty? Yes. Was it amazing? no. Was it pricey? Yes. Did I hate myself a tiny bit afterwards, also yes. Taco flats seems to be a safe place for yuppies and hipsters to enjoy an expensive taco and a beer. It set us back ~$50 for two people at lunch (with one beer and a queso). My pictures tell a more more generous story than was reality. SYOY!

    Returned during work week and they now have a brunch/breakfast taco. I hit the Dirty South and a beer and it was great. Something about huge black refried beans and toasted cheese on the tortilla makes this new and interesting. Highly recommended.

    Been to the other locations many times and am a huge fan. This was my first time visiting this location and it has a lot of room for improvement... Cons: Extremely slow service (only 1 person at bar, 1 person taking orders during 12pm lunch rush when it was very busy. the staff was nice but it took an excessive amount of time for any sort of service) Papas fries were soggy/undercooked and cut in a different shape than other locations... please go back to the cut/recipe that are at the other locations! Birria taco tortilla was dry and crispy, almost burnt, and deformed (other locations cook it perfectly, so this was disappointing) Pros: Good amount of parking Large bar area, lots of seating Chips and Dip Trio (queso, guac, salsa) were just as good as other locations- my fav! Overall, this could be a great restaurant in a great location with some improvements to the service and food.

    Grease from gringa
    Gisela P.

    Heard so many good things about this place so I was excited to try it when it recently opened about a mile from me. Unfortunately I made the mistake of ordering through doordash while my car is in the shop. I'll start by saying that I don't fully blame the restaurant and will be a returning customer. It took about 45 minutes for a dasher to be assigned to my order. Not the stores fault. The food arrived lukewarm and had clearly been ready for a while before it was picked up. As a past service worker I personally would've remade the order for the customer but I understand the restaurant isn't obligated to so I'm basing this solely on the taste of three items I ordered and not the freshness because it was out of the restaurants control. I blame doordash. The queso: very thick, edible but not the best. 4/10 Wouldn't order again. The chicken mole taco: corn tortilla was very thin. Chicken was kind of bland and no mole flavor. there was a lot of beans. 1/10 definitely wouldn't order again. The gringa: I only ate the inside of the taco because the tortilla was very soggy from it sitting BUT the pastor was so good and very flavorful, I had some of the tortilla and it was very good and noticeably handmade. I know that taco has to be AMAZING freshly made so I'll be ordering it again but will probably dine in lol I will say that I like my pastor a little greasy so be warned it is on the greasy side. The grease tore a hole in the paper bag and everything fell out when I picked it up from my doorstep.

    Paying $8+ for a taco is ridiculous. If you want to blow money for mediocre tacos. This is the place.

    Tucked away in a building across from Popeye's, this charming little restaurant doesn't have a wide…read morevariety to choose from--but what they offer is pretty special and definitely worth a visit. I ordered 2 steak tacos and horchata, both very delicious. The horchata is milky and sweet but not crazy sweet, and topped off with cinnamon. The steak tacos came out pretty hot, fresh from the grill. I got them on corn tortillas and I'm glad I did: idk if they make them in house but somebody in some house is making these because they definitely aren't store bought, and if they are I want to know where! I tried the orange habanero and creamy serrano salsas. The habanero was spicy off the bat, while the serrano had more of a lingering burn. Both paired well with the steak. They have a little bar, too, though I did not imbibe this time. Seems like they have a decent selection of agave spirits, and even Campari behind the bar (iykyk). Give them a shot, and thank the ladies in the kitchen.

Decided to come in and the cashier greeted us and was really nice and patient because of questions with the menu. The Taco Bueno is what I had ordered and requested no potato. Sat down and after a few seconds, chips & salsa was delivered. Then after a few minutes, the food came. Quick service for sure and the food, AMAZING. Anyone reading this, try this place out and if u like it, come back! Cuz we are for sure =D
