Tortilla Flats

For many years, this beloved Tex-Mex dining establishment has been a staple in the community, offering a vibrant atmosphere and a diverse menu that celebrates the rich flavors of Tex-Mex cuisine. Known for its warm hospitality and signature dishes, it has become a go-to spot for locals and visitors alike, providing a delightful dining experience that combines tradition with a modern twist.

This is my first time here we came here for a Cinco de Mayo event, and I decided to try out the food. The food seems to be a bit over specially for a spinach and chicken dinner. I have gone to other places not spent almost $20 per plate, which I am spending $20 for the dinner plate. It's much larger and it's more flavorful. However, the margaritas were off the chain. They were delicious. The servers were fantastic very helpful. The atmosphere was welcoming and enjoyable. I'm not sure this would be a place that I would go out of my way to come to, but if I was already in the area this would be a good place to eat.

I am sorry to say I had high hopes, but wouldn't return. The ambience and service were great! But unfortunately those aren't enough to get me back here. I think this spot is a local favorite, but maybe for those with a different taste. Nothing was "bad", but it was just "okay" - nothing was seasoned well enough in my opinion. The salsa was my least favorite, reminding me more of tomato sauce than anything resembling Mexican food. The Nachos (pictured bottom) had a great preparation, just majorly lacking in the flavor I'm looking for. The quesadilla (pictured top) was made with chicken that had been cooked in broth/pico and was put in the tortilla with all the juice in it and was soggy upon arrival to the table. There are plenty of local, cheap Mexican joints to put higher on your list.

Food was not very good in general, the service was good but there was almost nobody there and I think that speaks for itself.

Strange that yesterday was only my 2nd ever visit to Tortilla Flats after living in the neighborhood for 11 years and it's easily within walking distance. I sat at the bar and enjoyed a great conversation about Mexican travel adventures with the bartender Jerry from Chihuahua. I ordered the beef nachos which were not like I expected. Instead of a mountain of chips covered in toppings, the plate was covered in about 12 large tortilla chips and each was hosting a small mountain of, refried beans, ground beef, tomatoes, onion and covered with cheese and placed in a broiler - (Don't touch that plate). For $12 it is a generous serving and could easily feed two. Their free chips and salsa was adequate - chips are light, but salsa is a bit weak. The $6 large happy hour margarita was potent. I'm sad that I haven't been in here more often and supported a locally and veteran owned establishment. This might just be my new Saturday chips, queso and margaritas hang-out.

This was some of the blandest Mexican food I've ever had. No seasoning on the meat at all. No chorizo?!?!? The waiter was polite and friendly but the food was just blah. Won't be back.

I stopped in for lunch today. The service was fast. I had 2 tacos with rice and beans. The portions are huge and tasty. My food came quickly. I love their chips. They weren't salted which was kind of surprising but still my favorite chips of any of the Mexican restaurants I've ate at in KC. The salsa is excellent with small chunks of tomatoes. It is so fresh and is house made. I left absolutely stuffed! The serving size is very large considering how inexpensive the lunch specials are. I will be back.

Food was not good even though pictures were promising. A big foodie but don't have THAT high standards. Service was okay but kinda pushy to get me and my coworker out but we were trying to catch up. Margs weren't great either maybe it was a bad night but I barely ate my food. Won't be going back

I'm a hard core critic when it comes to Mexican so keep that in mind. Wasn't bad but not overly great. Service was very attentive. Taco meat wasn't seasoned as others mentioned. Margs were previously reviewed to be great but I'd disagree. Not much liquor going on there but lots of sweet. Sauce is good. Chips run of the mill. Hand pinned tacos were done well.

The service is always good. The food is great. My go to mexican restaurant. It's close to my house. To go orders you get alot of chips and salsa. No skimping.
