Taco Flats is slated to open two new locations in the Austin area in late summer.

The location at 12221 Riata Trace Parkway, Ste.100, Austin, will open Aug. 5. The opening of Taco Flats at Riata comes as Riata Bar and Grill was purchased by the team that opened Taco Flats.

The new location at 900 S. RM 620, Ste. C104, Austin, near Lakeway is slated to open in mid-September. The location will be at the former site of Castro's Bar and BBQ. Both locations will have a broader range of brunch items on the weekends as well as a full bar and wine on tap.

Simon Madera founded Taco Flats in 2014 and takes inspiration from his mother’s recipes. Taco Flats offers a variety of traditional-style Mexican tacos along with its signature spicy margarita. The Taco Flats team also owns East Austin’s mezcal bar La Holly, and Smithville bar and smoked meat taco concept Carne Lenta. www.tacoflats.com
