OOOOOOOOOFrenda…Cinco De Mayo Coming UPPPP

This cute little high-end Mexican restaurant has delicious food, awesome guacamole and great outdoor seating. People rave about their brunch and happy hours; I rave about their Tequila’s.

The margaritas were solid and the tequila menu is deep and plentiful.

I had the roasted jumbo shrimp with angel hair pasta, pulla pepper and mussel sauce which was really nice. And roasted rack of lamb, garlic mashed potatoes, grilled shiitake mushrooms and radish chimichurri.

The Chilaquiles con huevos were amazing!(tortillas with Oaxaca cheese, tomatillo chipotle salsa and sautéed onions, with sunny side up eggs).

l

Very unique sides like grilled cactus pad and serrano chili sauce keep this little place innovative and fun! Buen Fin De Semana!!!

Boy is this place fun, once you get a table. This little Mexican restaurant is jammed packed with people waiting for tables. The margaritas are strong strong strong. It was 8 of us and I think we had 4 or 5 pitchers of deliciousness.

The atmosphere is that of a buzzing, authentic Mexican restaurant with cool artifacts and pictures and trinkets all over the place. The music is loud, I think there was even a dj or mc. At this place, it’s about more than the food; it’s about the fun. It was Ian’s girlfriend Ally’s birthday, as well as a few others in the restaurant, so they had a chugging contest, and then rounds of shots afterwords. Like I said, this place is fun.

The tacos, chips, and enchiladas were all good, and we were stuffed. Needless to say, we did not make it out after our dinner/binge drinking. Cant wait to go back.

Ian Says…”Tortilla Flats is one of the most “talked about” mexican spots in the city. I’ve heard people mention it a million times but never could get a reservation and didn’t want to deal with the put your name down and wait an hour type deal. Now that I’ve bit the bullet and got in, i can say its 100% worth it. It’s just fun from the second you grab a drink at the bar waiting for your table.

It’s rare that a cool spot in the West Village makes you feel like you’re in college again (in a good way). The place is known for the party vibe so everyone there is in big groups and often celebrating something so there’s just a happy feeling all around. And the manager/MC of the evening gets everyone involved in the fun so beware you shy folks.

The pitchers of Margaritas are the move (and super cheap!) so the food will be amazing by the time eat since you should be wasted.

Have fun everyone and make sure you mention you heard about them from WestVillageFood.com for a free shot (talk to Wade for that pictured here below with us  😉

I had walked past this place numerous times and finally decided to grab dinner with a friend. I was blown away how good the meal was. This is a high-end Mexican restaurant that deserves great accolades.

I had the lobster tacos, which were amazing. I’ve only had lobster tacos a handful or times, and these were the best. The guacamole was delicious also. The menu is packed with unique taco’s that I never know existed, such as beer Braised Tongue with Potatoes and Arbol Chile Salsa, and Hazelnut Fed Pork Loin with Braised Pine nuts.

I forgot to mention the very extensive Tequila bar, which has tons to choose from. Now you can choose from something other than Patron; or you just may want to try the $90 glass of Gran Patron Burdeos.

Thank god they opened this location: It is my favorite taqueria in the WV. Because the line for Dos Toros USQ usually runs from the counter out the door, this is a great new addition. It IS that good. DT has the taste of a SoCal Mexican spot but always made with the freshest ingredients. For $10, this restaurant makes Chipotle and Qdoba seem like they are the Grade-D fast-food joints of a third world country. I usually go for a Grilled Chicken Burrito, Black Pinto Beans, all the way with both the medium and extra hot sauces. If you don’t know, now you know. Go there.
