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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Service was extremely slow and the food looked unappetizing and some of it was inedible. There was barely anyone there and it was not hard to understand why. The other locations are great but this one is disappointing to say the least. Won't be going back.

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.

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

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!

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.
