Everything about Tortilla Flats, from the earth-tone walls decorated with antique pottery to the luscious desserts is the creation of owner Cheryl Marquez. Inspired by the French and Mexican cuisines of New Orleans while living in the French Quarter, Cheryl blends the fieriness of Mexico with the sophistication of the French sauces, the earthiness of the Yucatan and the complexity of Santa Fe with all the freshness and lightness that Californians expect. With a variety of chilies, from the rare Peruvian aji to the well-known jalape?o, Cheryl creates tastes that are truly unique. And yes, we do have rice and beans--wonderful nutty long grain brown rice and no-animal-fat beans.

I love The Flats! 5 By Joshua S. \| Insider \| Rank: 30,425 Tortilla Flats Tortilla Flats is by far my favorite place in town! I've been going to the flats since I was a kid, and I have gotten just about everything on the menu. The chicken mole, enchiladas, tostada, margaritas, and banana cream pie are all my favorites. The price is fair, and I definitely recommend Tortilla Flats to all my friends. Tips to other customers - go on Tapas night - it's a great deal!

The atmosphere is inviting with more of a South American decor. The menu is intriguing with fresh seafood dishes, along with more traditional mexican fare. The margaritas are to die for! The service was friendly and helpful, especially considering the menu choices. I'd definitely go back Posted 12/13/07 \| Printable Version Was this review helpful to you?

Owner Cheryl Marquez has researched and prepared the moles in the traditional way. Using all fresh ingredients and letting the sauces take their time to develop, she has prepared a range of moles rarely seen in American restaurants.

For those of you who don't know what tapas are, they are small dishes, like appetizers usually accompanied by wine. I finally found a restaurant in the Santa Cruz area with great tapas. Combine the good food with the amazing atmosphere, especially the artwork from all over the world, makes for a great experience. Check out their website at www.tortillaflatsdining.com for information about their menu, location, and special events. Posted 12/04/07 \| Printable Version Was this review helpful to you?

My friends said the Margaritas were outstanding but I don't drink so I couldn't say anything about that. The general ambience of the restaurant made the experience complete.

The place was completely crowded. We sat at the counter and were waited on immediately from the bartender. We ordered Margaritas. They arrived over the rocks BUT we do not like them that way and he never asked us how we wanted them blended or over the rocks?? With a smile he changed them to blended drinks, which were very good. Our food order came quickly. We ordered enchilada and chili relleno. The pork enchillada was great but not enough sauce. The relleno was so hot I immediately started to cough but there was no water at the table. How frustrating! After flagging down the waitress we got water finally. Our waitress never asked us how our meal was? Finally I must say that I would not go back for mexican food at Tortilla Flats, which is much better many other places. Posted 09/18/08 Nice Work By al_wallace_open Service was excellent. I inspected the place the next day and found it to be extremely satisfactory. The technician did a great job without any supervision. Posted 08/18/08 Best Place By matur My friend had a dinner with his family at Tortilla Flats and he suggested me, to have a dinner at that place. When I entered I saw at walls, it was decorated with antique pottery. The artwork on the walls was just stunning and about Food it was just amazing especially Mexican. Service provided by the authority was commendable. I have decided next time I will take my family at Tortilla Flats. Posted 08/13/08 The One & Only Tortilla Flats! By sandyweb33 If you have not tried Tortilla Flats in Soquel, CA you are in for a treat! Try any special on their list and you will get consistently delicious food. Sample their tapas or usual menu items and you will be just as content. Take the whole family there, including the "picky" kids and grandmother and everyone will leave saying they can't wait to return. The wine list is impressive for a small restaurant and the margaritas are yummy!
