I whis they had flatas in the a la crate menu. I have allergies and needed corn tortillas they did make them I just had to order the dinner meal and only get the flatas no rice and beans cheese or the fixings and for 4 it was 11.99 in my opinion that was a little high for just 4 flatas. But the food is good staff was great and the place in very nice
