Taco Flats - Riata

Great service. Super friendly. Delicious menu.Brisket Taco - 5/5Steak Taco - 5/5Chips and Guacamole - 5/5Tacos are really good. Super inexpensive. Very filling. Service was good. Chips and guacamole were good as well. Lots of chips. Super crispy.

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.

If you're working in the general area and you don't have access to a cafeteria, the options are pretty slim within walking distance. This place is walkable from the research and riata office parks. There have been a few work events that we didn't have food provided but we wanted to get a no nonsense lunch without having to figure out carpooling etc - this is a good option. The restaurant is more set up like a bar. However, there is a large table in the corner that can accommodate a group. You order through QR code so it makes it easy to order and lessens the burden of splitting the bill. There are a wide range of tacos here. If you have a decent appetite 2 tacos will do. I would say these are okay tacos more on the caliber of torchy's but they do the job. They have a decent margarita too if you want to make it an old school 1950's business lunch sans the martini.

Service is awful. I came in before the lunch rush arrived, sat at the bar and after 40 minutes of ordering three tacos my food never arrived so I left. Other folks had walked in after me and were served their food but I didn't even see the bartender after I ordered as she was waiting on others and serving drinks. Will not come back, even if my friend had told me the tacos were good.

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.

I eagerly anticipated the arrival of Taco Flats as I've always enjoyed my visits to their Burnet Rd location. As a bonus when I have my infrequent office visits I can walk to this location.They did a great job remodeling/gutting the old Riata Bar. There is a great wrap around bar with a good selection of craft beer and big screen TVs. We sat at the bar and service was spot on. So why only 3 stars you ask? The food is Meh at best. I ordered my two favorite tacos Carne Asada and Pork Al Pastor. The cook must have had is elbow up as he was adding salt as this taco was beyond salty and the beef was dry as if it was sitting under a heat lamp for hours. Being consistent the pork in the Al Pastor taco was completely dried out and stringy.Three stars is a generous rating. I will give them another try and I truly hope that this is a one-off.

Tasty fish tacos!I don't like the idea of paying for chips and salsa though. I'd give them a try. Great location for lunch or after work.

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!

Having been to the original, was a bit skeptical this could measure up to the standard (in my mind) that I recall. Big fan of the food and my crowd loves the drinks. Well this was outstanding. The food was great. The service was great. It's rare I leave a place and wish I'd taken some photos of the food ... but I'm feeling that regret now for not doing that. Enjoy!!

Regular food.Incorrect order.Super slow service. Good parking.Neighborhood bar vibe
