Reviews for The Flying Taco Mexican Grill in Towanda, PA
The atmosphere is fantastic. Great appeal to the eyes and walking in the food smelled so good. For late afternoon they weren't... busy and there wasn't a wait. Service was interesting. The waitstaff was friendly enough, but in our time at the table (30mins) we were helped by 4 people. Our initial waitress obviously hit the end of her shift and left. No introduction to the newwaitress, which was the 4th person to help us. It was just odd. Visually our food looked appealing, sadly the presentation wasbetter than the taste. The nachos were decent (we had 1 steak nacho and 1 smoked brisket). Missing jalapeños, but that's ok. Idon't think we really had Pico de gallo on them either, as it was just diced tomatoes. Fat man in a little coat was all arounddisappointing and a letdown; visually and by taste. Really the amount of food for the cost just missed the mark. The kids tacowas served with onions and tomatoes, which neither are listed in the menu, nor does my child like them. The side of rice andrefried beans (not pictured) weren't worth their cost either. Both were lacking taste. Over all super disappointing. Read more
Great atmosphere and good food that is priced around what you'd pay elsewhere. Small menu and very limited for vegetarians but I... found the Queso and Chips which I enjoyed. The chips are made in house and were nice and crunchy and not over salted. Husbandhad chicken tacos which he said were very good and Spanish rice. Overall very satisfied with the meal. The building/decor is funwith lots of bright coolers and cool artwork. The seating is nice with outdoor options of a patio and upper deck.We ate insidebut had a great view of the river because the garage doors were open, really cool. We really enjoyed the vibe of this place, andoutside it's dog friendly. Read more
The food was just disgusting. I ordered take out. Ordered the tacos, can?t remember the entire name of them?something about ?the... other guys tacos?. Well, the other guys are better and cheaper?which is pretty sad considering the Flying Taco is supposed to bemore authentic. I got the tacos with corn tortillas. The tortillas were so wet they ripped like paper. The beef was definitelyNOT seasoned. I ate some without the toppings, it was plain hamburger on a wet and ripped tortilla with brown lettuce?also theywere pieces of the core?large and hard, then about 2 tsp of crema dribbled on top. No cheese. At. All. I didn?t want the pico,so that they got correct. But the tacos had zero flavor. Also, no salsa?it wasn?t offered nor was taco sauce, so I thought itwould be in the bag with the food. I also ordered the guacamole and chips. The description didn?t say anything about radishesbeing in or on top of the guac. If it had I wouldn?t have ordered or I would have asked for it w/out the radishes, as I cannoteat them. I definitely won?t go back. Ever. I?ve never left a review for a restaurant, but this was such a waste of my moneythat I just had to say something. I?ll stick with The Angry Burrito Co. thank you very much. Read more
Great atmosphere, staff and food. I was too busy enjoying to take many pics. We had 3 different orders of tacos - steak, pork... and shrimp, all great. Love that everything seems made from scratch with attention to detail. Good selection of beers andcocktails - loved the spicy mango margarita. Highly recommend. Read more
Unique, fun and lively restaurant for the whole family... Nothing like it in the area! Absolutely fantastic flatiron steak with... side salad + beans, rice, tortillas for Valentine's Day special. Zesty flavor, nice size and cooked as ordered. I would highlyrecommend if available. Also, chocolate covered tacos with strawberries and cream were the perfect, light desert. Read more
Great place to sit down and enjoy some really tasty tacos. I had the shrimp tacos (i cant remember the name as they all were... called something different), along with a side of fantastic chocolate cake with espresso ice cream, came out wonderfully, andtimely. The aesthetic of the place is very colorful and i especially appreciated the painted table i was sat at with adecorative rose, (i assume for Valentines). The single complaint i would have is lack of variety, most of the items were tacoswith this or that, makes sense for a taco place. But still diversity in a menu could do them good. I may come back in the futureto update but as of now a great place to grab some tacos with friends. 8/10, would definately recommend everyone try the shrimptacos. (About $12.25) Read more
Not very authentic but still pretty good. The tacos were pretty good. The fries as well. The guacamole, not so much. Not a lot... of flavor to it at all. Tbh, I'd call it more avocado paste than guacamole and would put my recipe up against it any day of theweek. It was also expensive for the portion. No complimentary chips and salsa with your meal and a very small menu. The happymargaritas were good. Building was cute and staff were friendly but not a Mexican feel to it. All in all, I'd visit again butyou should know what to expect. Read more
Love the ambience and the Mexican-inspired decor. Chips and dip were not as traditional as you would find at a regular Mexican... restaurant, however, the main courses were incredible! We had the 20 oz ribeye, the Birria tacos, and the Pork burrito. Steakwas cooked medium rare, just like we asked and was by far my favorite! Flavor of the tacos and the burrito were equally asdelicious! The owner is very hospitable and made sure we had everything we needed! No other restaurant like this in the area! Read more
