I need to back up a bit. My spouse is from Cambodia and doesn't care for Mexican cuisine or didn't anyway. I really like authentic Mexican food. Well my birthday is May 5th and I wanted to eat some good Mexican food. We live in LaBelle, FL so I researched Mexican restaurants from Tampa to Naples, FL, literally, and Flaco's Mexican Specialities & Steakhouse had consistently good reviews and an interesting menu. We went there today with high expectations and we were not disappointed! To start off we were given a basket of Taco Chips and a small bowl of Red Salsa (med.) which was NOT from a jar......It was fresh. We started with an order of their Ceviche of Florida Grouper and FL Shrimp. The Ceviche was fresh, perfect and it was served with a perfectly, ripe. sliced Haas avocado. For our main dish we selected from the "Chipotle Section" of the menu in which you select a protein from Chicken, Shrimp, Beef Steak, or all of the above to be cooked in a Chipotle Sauce invented by the chef. It was served with Yellow Rice and Refried Beans although you could have had Plain Rice and sauteed Green Beans instead. I should add that for those who do not want their steak marinated or seasoned with Mexican seasonings, several of the steak choices were available without seasonings. For the beverage, we both had a "Classic Margarita" which was fine (and FUN) plus bottled water. For dessert, we both had Flan which was perfectly prepared. The staff were friendly AND professional. Bottom line??? We will be returning to Flaco's again and I suspect again. A TRUE GEM!

Being back after more than 10 years, the location has changed… but the rest ist still perfect. Food is excellent, drinks (Margaritas and beer) are reasonable in price and worth exploring. Service was outstanding. We had the feeling that they care. Last but not least. We also talked to the owner, who promised us to keep this fantastic restaurant alive… even with the same chef after all these years. We are coming back!

We moved from the Naples area so we no longer get here as often as we did but it was a pleasant surprise to find Flaco's was as great as we remembered! The service and food was great - wait staff was extremely attentive. It was very busy for a weeknight (large parties celebrating the holidays) but we got seated quickly and someone came over very quickly to bring us their homemade salsa & chips (and take drink orders). Food was SO GOOD that we got orders to go as we were leaving so we could enjoy a great meal the next day! Large portions & everything was extremely fresh - cooked to order! Can't wait to go back!

Awesome experience, since 1998 I have been eating in Flacos and recipes are intact, the same flavors, the same taste, even some of the same people like Mauro and José work there and they are Amazing; they never fail, Mauro was our server today and he is the best, we love him.
Silvia is very kind, I definitely recommend Flacos for any occasion; the best restaurant in Naples Florida.
Thank you and keep the same quality as usual.

Pleasantly surprised! The service was great, the outside dining atmosphere was relaxing and comfortable. We went for happy hour, good value. We had the Drunken Shrimp appetizer, 6 tender shrimp in a spicy sauce. I had the Tampiqueno and my husband had the tacos Al pastor. Both really good, my steak was cooked perfectly and the Tacos were also delicious. We will be going back 😋

The food was decent and the chips and salsa were excellent. The service was very slow and poor to respond. No one checked in, we actively had to seek out a server 5 different times. Waiting for every single thing......to get water, to get chips, to get food, to get the bill. The nachos were burned and cold when they finally came out, so much so that we had to send them back. It is a shame because the food really was decent (even the nachos after they were replaced with fresh) but we would never go back due to the terrible service.

Their staff are not very friendly.
I was excited to finally have Molé chicken enchiladas, since living here for 3 years. I'm Mexican and from California so I know real, authentic Mexican food.
Molé was okay, not to get again. Chicken was too chunky for enchiladas. The rice, well it's definitely not Mexican rice or made from scratch. It's yellow rice and tastes from a box or bag. RiceARoni tastes a lot better.
I asked for lemon with my water and never got it.
Salsa, just pico de gallo... no option.
I was pretty disappointed.

Although the entrees and service were very good, social distancing practices were relaxed as more patrons arrived. They also had a singer visiting tables w/o wearing a mask. We probably won’t be back anytime soon.

Flaco’s was amazing! Seriously. Best Mexican around. Huge portions for good prices. I had the drunken shrimp and fish and it was prepared to perfection with fresh vegetables. We also had the chips and queso, I love me some queso. The patio was adorable and covered from the sun/rain. Service was great!

First, felt good with Flaco’s process to keep social distancing and maintain the 50% occupancy. Ex: all wait staff wore masks and or face shields. Tables are closed off in an ‘every-other’ style. Guitarist wore a mask except when singing.
Had margaritas and were refreshing (to me). Initial tortillas & salsa. Entrees of enchiladas had sides of refried beans, yellow rice, and chopped tomatoes. Cheese, chicken, & shrimp enchiladas were filling, tasty, fresh. See photo.
Felt comfortable here. Of course not crowed with the pandemic concerns.
Ample parking.
NW corner off Airport & Vanderbilt Beach. You can see it off Airport.

Four of us had dinner here tonight and nobody thought food was good! Fajitas were okay although gristly. Combo plate was okay. Fish and shrimp tacos not the best either. The worst was the guacamole it was brownish and definitely not fresh or seasoned at all. They brought a second bowl when we complained and it was no better than the first one. Margaritas were good. Used to go years ago when they were on 41 but not anymore. Sorry but these two couples will never eat here again. Need to find a good Mexican restaurant here but have not found it yet except when I cook it myself!

I remember Flaco’s on 41 and always had a good meal but was disappointed this time at their new location. Enchilada was mushy and bland, beef taco had flavor but the whole meal was bland. Chips were odd looking and salsa so so. There are much better Mexican restaurants in Naples.

Not a Mexican cuisine expert but others in attendance say the way the meals are prepared and the sauces are authentic.
Like the enchiladas so here is a photo of the chicken mole enchiladas. Seafood enchiladas was also ordered. Both were delicious.
Came early and the outside high-tables were already occupied. Although the booths got filled pretty fast, we felt COvid safe. An option we had was to move to tables. Spaced generishly.
Rice and beans were part of the plate.
Margaritas for me was ok.
Service was plentiful but got a little slow when tables/booths filled.
Bottom line: good Mexican meal.

I met some friends there last Wednesday. My cousin the reviews were not that great. My steak tacos were delicious! Usually a Mexican restaurant is not known for steak, but my steak tacos were marinated with an exquisite seasoning and melted in my mouth tender. The happy hour margarita was good too! Everyone at our table was happy with our meals!
