“What can I say about Flatstick? Is it the ambiance? The soundtrack playing absolute bangers? Maybe the mini golf or a rousing round of "duffleboard"? Perhaps the massive selection of other games and activities? No, the incredible food and the amazing selection of cold beer on draft? I'll tell what it REALLY is: the staff. They are all super friendly and make the experience what it is. Especially the cute blonde behind the bar, Bailey. She is the LITERALLY the best bartender EVER, no contest. She is charming, hilarious, and lively (not to mention that she possesses a beauty to rival Helen of Troy). I will LITERALLY never, ever, ever, ever go to another bar or restaurant in Tahoe.FLATSTICK RULEZ D00D!!!!!!!!!!“

“Got a very large carnitas burrito and soft drink for about 12.99$ , which is inexpensive for being on Lake Tahoe Blvd. Food was good, authentic Mexican style. Plus, their restroom, although outside and quite cold, was immaculately clean. If u want simple and low priced Mexican food near South Lake Tahoe. I would recommend.“

“We came here on a busy Saturday night and had a bit of a wait. The restaurant was very crowded and they squeezed us into a booth in the corner with barely enough room to slide in and out between our table and the neighboring table. The food itself was pretty good, but they charged extra to add meat to the dishes and then put barely any meat on them at all. We ordered a chicken enchilada and were served just plain cheese enchiladas. By the time we realized, we were almost finished with the rest of our dinner and told the waiter that our enchiladas were not chicken enchiladas as we had ordered. He hurried off to replace them without asking if we wanted them replaced even though we had finished all our other food. We ended up just taking them to go as we were finished with the rest of our dinner by the time they brought them out. Overall, not worth it for how expensive everything was.“

“Best taco place in Tahoe HANDS DOWN. lived here for 2 years and have tried them all. They have anything and everything you could want from a Mexican restaurant. You will not find better flavor! The food is fresh, cooked to order fast, and delicious. And the salsa bar options are amazing. Recommend their Birria, chicken chipotle burrito, and beans & rice! Other favorites are their chorizo (it’s to die for) breakfast burrito or chorizo street tacos and steak torta!“

“Note: The sign at the front says Jalisco Taqueria, but I was told it is the same. Had the pozole and two tacos(al pastor, carnitas). The tacos were great. They give you a side of onions, radishes, and lime. Most places I've been before also give you cilantro, but not here. The pozole was not spicy, but they gave me some hot sauce to add, smoky chipotle, I think. Once I added it, it was spicy enough for me. It had a LOT of meat. The bowl wasn't as big as in other places, but for the price, I think it was reasonable. I would recommend this place, as long as you are not expecting a fancy place. BTW, it's now open on Mondays, too.“

“The breakfast burrito with brisket is absolutely the best burrito I've ever put in my mouth. With seasoned slow cooked beef, crunchy hash browns , and eggs it has all the textures to satisfy your breakfast or lunch cravings. I must disclose however , once you try this they're quite addicting and you"ll be craving it often!“

“Why did it take me so long to try this place? I'm not normally out in Meyers but I was tonight. Wow! This is my new favorite shrimp burrito. The super burrito ingredients were awesome and the shrimp inside were amazing. Seasoned and cooked perfectly and big and plentiful. Super satisfying and yummy! They served up the shrimp burrito like they meant it. I'm looking forward to coming back and trying the fish burrito and fish tacos and shrimp tacos. My hubby got the fish burrito and loved it. The future looks delicious.“
