New Taco Restaurant Taco Flats Opens in Clarksville in October | Eater Austin

"Opening today (Saturday, October 5) at 1110 West Lynn Street, this Clarksville taco restaurant and bar is Taco Flats' second Austin location, taking over the former Zocalo Cafe space. The menu leans on Mexico and Rio Grande Valley influences, with handmade tortillas and al pastor from the trompo highlighted among the tacos, and a drinks program focused on agave spirits alongside beer and tapped wine. The renovated space—designed by Kelly Rath, McCray & Co., and Word + Carr Design Group—features new Mexican tiles, terracotta, and a patio filled with greenery. Taco Flats took its name from a legendary dive bar (with permission) and was originally opened in North Lamar by owner Simon Madera in 2014; the Clarksville spot’s hours are 10 a.m.–10 p.m. Sunday through Wednesday and until midnight Thursday through Saturday." - Nadia Chaudhury
