Flats Fix

Flats Fix is a taqueria and tequila bar located in Union Square in New York City. Its concept is inspired by the classic New York City "flat fix" garage — the small, no-frills shops that repair flat tires quickly and simply. The restaurant reimagines that fast, straightforward, always-there-for-you spirit as a casual Mexican restaurant and bar. The brand describes itself as "loud, smoky, and made to share," positioning itself as a lively neighborhood spot rather than a fine-dining destination. The menu centers on smoked meats, poultry, and fish that are seasoned with a house rub and smoked in a dedicated smokehouse. These are served on corn tortillas with toppings chosen to match the texture and flavor of the smoked proteins. Core categories include tacos, quesadillas, burritos, tortas, bowls, salads, sides, and shareable starters such as seasoned corn tortilla chips with house-made guacamole, salsa, or queso, and house nachos that can be topped with brisket, carnitas, or ground sirloin. Signature tacos include slow-smoked brisket with salsa verde, guacamole, and pico de gallo, and house-smoked pastrami with pepper jack and a "thous" (thousand island-style) sauce. The beverage program focuses on Mexican beers, craft cocktails, and tequila and mezcal, intended to pair with the smoky, savory food. The bar is described as dimly lit with loud conversation and strong margaritas, and the restaurant promotes a happy hour featuring tequila and mezcal. Sample hours listed on the official site are Monday through Thursday 11:30 to midnight, Friday and Saturday 11:30 to 1:00, and Sunday 11:30 to 23:00. Flats Fix operates in the Union Square area of Manhattan and offers online ordering and reservations for larger parties. The official website includes links to third-party ordering platforms, and the site content indicates the brand is active and open daily. The restaurant is a private, independent hospitality business rather than a publicly traded company or a large chain. Its identity is closely tied to its single New York City location and its garage-inspired origin story.

Flats Fix is a New York City taqueria and tequila bar whose concept is drawn from the classic New York "flat fix" garage. The official website explains that the restaurant was "born from a classic NYC 'flat fix' garage vibe—now reimagined as a taqueria & tequila bar." The name and theme evoke the small, practical tire-repair shops common in the city: fast, simple, and reliably serving a need. Flats Fix translates that idea into a casual restaurant that aims to be quick, straightforward, and always serving good food. The restaurant is located in the Union Square area of Manhattan. Its menu is built around smoked meats, poultry, and fish. According to the official site, the kitchen uses selected cuts of meat, poultry, and fish, seasons them with a house rub, and smokes them in a dedicated smokehouse. The smoked proteins are served on corn tortillas with toppings chosen to match texture and flavor. This smokehouse approach distinguishes Flats Fix from a typical taqueria and forms the core of its culinary identity. The food menu is organized into categories including "For The Table," tacos, quesadillas, burritos, tortas, bowls, salads, and sides. Shareable starters include seasoned corn tortilla chips with a choice of house-made guacamole, salsa, or queso, or all three, and house nachos that can be topped with brisket, carnitas, or ground sirloin. Signature tacos include the Slow Smoked Brisket taco with salsa verde, guacamole, and pico de gallo, and the House Smoked Pastrami taco with pepper jack and a "thous" sauce. The drinks program features Mexican beers, craft cocktails, and tequila and mezcal, positioned to pair with the smoky and savory menu. The atmosphere is deliberately informal and energetic. The website describes the vibe as a "dimly lit bar, loud conversation, strong margaritas," and the brand tagline is "Loud, smoky, and made to share." A happy hour focused on tequila and mezcal is promoted. Sample operating hours listed on the site are Monday through Thursday 11:30 to midnight, Friday and Saturday 11:30 to 1:00, and Sunday 11:30 to 23:00. The restaurant offers online ordering and reservations for parties of eight or more, and the site references integration with third-party ordering platforms. As of the available evidence, Flats Fix operates as a single-location, independent hospitality business in New York City. No founding year, founder names, parent company, or ownership structure is provided in the supplied sources. The brand remains active, open daily, and focused on its Union Square taqueria and tequila bar concept.
