Similarly, the food at the small Soquel village restaurant points in two directions at once. The name alludes to the book by Anglo-American Salinas-born writer John Steinbeck, while also referring to one of the best-known ingredients in authentic Mexican cuisine, the tortilla. While the menu offers many of the classic Mexican-American food experiences-from nachos and quesadillas to enchiladas and chile rellenos-the stylings emerge more in keeping with the restaurant's theme name than with authentic Mexican fare. TRADITIONAL POTTERY and fiesta banners decorate the tiny dining room at Tortilla Flats, welcoming a host of loyal patrons who have looked to the restaurant for their local Mexican dining needs for many years now. Soquel's enduring Tortilla Flats caters to the loyal appetites of neighbors and those who appreciate updated classics Bring back the love Cheryl! Tortilla Flats used to serve awesome food.Flats' Top: Tortilla Flats' Cheryl Marquez oversees a menu of updated Mexican standards at the Soquel eatery. I hid my disappointment from my cousin, but I just had this sick feeling that Tortilla Flats was going by way of everyone else and cutting corners, and the food would be suffering. I didn't mind that some of the dishes reflected a fusion of Spanish and French. Finally a Mexican restaurant that uses fresh ingredients just like in Mexico. I once got into a really interesting conversation with Cheryl the owner about her chili's and her garden, and I thought, I've hit the jackpot. As soon as I bit into my taco, I realized it wasn't pork butt, that it wasn't cooked in house, but something that came frozen from the vendor. What it was, was the frozen shredded pork we use for pulled pork sandwiches. It didn't say what kind of shredded pork. I had the Mexican tacos, which on the menu says its shredded pork. I am in the business, so its not like I'm picking on the restaurant. I can't say that I'll never go back, but it will be a while. I met my cousin in early December for dinner and I had raved and raved about the food, the Tapas, the owner, just how much I liked it. Tortilla Flats was my favorite Mexican Restaurant for the longest time.
