Tijuana Flats

I’m obsessed. I find myself here almost once a week on my lunch break, more often than not on a Tuesday, since it’s TACO TUESDAY! Which means you get two tacos, chips and a drink for just $ 5.49. I get the same thing every time I go, which is two hard tacos, one beef, one chicken with just tomato and cheese and a side of queso! It’s my go-​to and it’s delicious every time!
The service here is great! Everyone is always friendly when you first walk in and makes sure your drink is always filled. The service is quick, too. I sometimes don’t even make it back to my table from the hot sauce bar before my name is being called with my food! TIP: The parking out front can be non-​existent at times, so just go around the back of the building where you’ll find tons of parking! It actually took me a while to figure that one out!

Everything about this place was five stars. From it’s employees to the food and hot sauce bar. We will definitely be returning if we are ever in the area again.

Love their chimichanga. The décor inside is very fun and colorful and staff are very nice.

This chain consistently provides fresh delicious food at every location I visit. Probably my favorite part is the hot sauce options that offer a wide variety of heat levels and flavor combinations. Even when choosing to dine on the outdoor patio area, the staff always make sure that beverages are topped off. There is limited parking that is available in the front lot but the restaurant always fills up quickly at lunch time so plan to arrive early.

Decent Tex mex. not much that I can say other than it doesn’t disappoint. There is an array of hot sauces to please your palate. On weekends and during happy hour M-​F there are 2 dollar drafts and $ 3 sangria. A must try.

Thank goodness there are no Tijuana Flats in my state, Arizona. Though the staff was friendly and the décor of the restaurant inviting, the food was atrocious. I have a belly ache just thinking about it.
REVIEWS FOR THE FOLLOWING:
Bangin’ Chicken Burrito– boneless wings thrown into a tortilla and called a burrito. The assortment of random ingredients left my stomach turning in pain. BLEH!
Salsa & Chips– Chips were fine, could have been warmer. Salsa tasted like ketchup. way too sweet.
Florida you can keep this restaurant chain! Don’t venture to the West Coast!!!

You really can’t go wrong here!
Great food, and the girls are always friendly!
I would order online during peak hours; especially around any holiday!!!

When we first arrived, we were told, by an employee, that we should look at the menu and they would come back to take our order. It was our first time here so that sounded logical. We now know that you are supposed to go to the register, place your order and then they bring your food to your table. But because of the earlier statement and this being our first time, we were sitting waiting.
Thank goodness for AMBER. She saved the day and made our experience great. In a day and age where it is so difficult to find good customer service, Amber went out of her way to help us. She saw that we were getting angry sitting and waiting and came over to us and took our order and was ultra-​friendly. She was very nice and explained how the ordering system works. I hope that the management reads this review and recognizes Amber for going above and beyond the call of duty to turn a really bad situation into a wonderful dining experience.
Oh yeah, the food was good and the variations of hot sauce is bigger than most. Will go back again and this time know how to order. Thanks to Amber. LOL

This place is great! I love the enchiladas made with flour tortilla and burittos! It was sooo tasty and seasoned properly. and the general manager there was sooo helpful and polite! Love this place, MUCH BETTER THAN SAN JOSE MEXICAN RESTAURANT !

4 Stars for a punch of color, personality, and flavor– that originated in Winter Park!
This location of TFlats is pretty large. The parking out front looks inadequate, until you realize there’s parking behind the building as well.
I dig the brand and have to say I’ve gone through phases where I would get their 2 taco meal no less than once a week. This means I’ve got some tips!
Tip 1– ask for to-​go containers for the sauces. The sauce bar has teeny tiny containers and I used to fill 10 of them and still be lacking sauce at the end of my meal. They have larger containers behind the counter if you ask for them!
Tip 2– Check your meal! I’ve had a few occasions where I’ve arrived home with something missing (nothing major, but still a bit annoying).
Tip 3– Order the guac. You get a small tub full (more than most places) and it has nice chunks of avo that make it clear it’s made in-​house.
Tip 4– Try the power-​lite cheese option! It tastes the same as the regular cheese. I’ve tricked my partner into eating it without him noticing…
Finally, though not really a tip it’s still worth mentioning that this location has always impressed me in terms of service. Everyone seems to be happy and this last time I was greeted 3 times with smiles!
Overall, this is a good location that retains the charm of the brand. (As a note– I love the funny bumper stickers but could do without the political stickers… They’re especially odd since I would think their demo leans liberal…)

I had such a great experience today at Tijuana Flats. I wasn’t really sure what I wanted to order so I asked the cashier what her favorite was. She recommended the blackened chicken tacos w/​bean. What a great choice.
Overall EXCELLENT experience. Friendly and attentive staff, great food, and a fun upbeat environment. I highly recommend this particular location. It certainly reflects proper management and great staff.

Great service friendly and quick. Great food made fresh and quick. Prices are good and they’re specials are really cheap tuesdays and thursdays.

We really like Tijuana Flats for a simple meal with the family. The girls love Taco Tuesdays and I love the price. The food is about 3.5 stars, but the service brings this place down a little. I don’t recommend sitting outside if you want a drink refill or need anything with your meal.
I will say that we were also a bit spoiled by the friendly staff at the (now closed) Thornton Park location, where they were always around and happy to help.

I’ve been going to Taco Tuesday for years! $ 5.49 for two tacos, chips & a drink, SUCH A DEAL! I believe I’ve eaten more tacos than I should have, they’re finally growing old on me. I’ve been getting a burrito lately, & it’s still good… The issue I have is with their hot sauce bar. I’d rather just have good old taco sauce, but they don’t even carry taco sauce. If you want salsa, you have to pay extra for it. So, I’ve been bringing taco sauce packets from Taco Bell. At least it makes happy :-D

I keep forgetting there’s a Tijuana Flats here.
But I may be the only one. It was 8:00pm on a Tuesday and this place was SLAMMED! I had a coupon for a free trio but didn’t quite understand what a trio was, ordered another burrito. Soo. they got what the needed from me.
Menus were hard to find and after I placed my to-​go order I uncomfortably stood around with sauces in my hand. No empty tables. Cramped. I’d avoid this place and go to College or Thornton Park next time. It’s the same food but a more enjoyable atmosphere.

Tijuana Flats is a great chain and both my best friend and I enjoyed our visit here. We came for lunch on a Saturday and it wasn’t bust at all which was nice. We shared a plate of their nachos and had two sangrias each. The nachos were fantastic and were had fun trying out the different sauces and salsas. The sangria was very good for the price and the perfect compliment to our spicy snack! I’d come here again for sure!

This is my local Tijuana Flats so we try to hit it up a few times a month. Its big inside and plenty of space for friends/​family that visit. They also have some seating outside which is great on a nice day. There is parking up front and in the back but it can get a bit cramped depending on how busy it is.
The food here and honestly at any Tijuana Flats I’ve been to is consistently good, which I really appreciate. I also recommend Tibby’s New Orleans Kitchen by the same owners as Tijuana if you want to try a totally different style of food that is equally good.
At Tijuana my hubby always picks up something different, my mom, sisters and I always, I mean ALWAYS get the flautas. My god, these things are so good, they’re like little self-​contained harbingers of happiness… THAT YOU CAN EAT.
If you’ve never had a flauta, it’s basically a lightly fried flour or wheat tortilla stuffed with cheese and whatever other filling you want. You get a ton and on the side you get that yummy queso, guacamole, sour cream, diced onions, diced tomatoes, and shredded lettuce. We also get black beans and rice on the side too-​hey we’re Hispanic, no faintly Spanish meal goes alone without a bean and rice companion… its just not done.
There is also a hot sauce bar. I can’t do spicy but there one sweet mild sauce is amazing!

Love this place! Taco Tuesday is where it’s at. For $ 5.99 you get two huge tacos, chips and salsa, and a fountain drink. The place is lively and draws very eclectic crowd. Everything from cops to crossdressers show up here. The servers are extremely nice and go out of their way to talk to you. This won’t be my last time coming here when I’m in Florida.

I really like Tijuana Flats — It’s a-​Ok to me. i think I really liked it when it first came out, and now it’s just okay. It definitely satisfies any mexican cravings. I feel like every menu item tastes the same, it’s filled with the same ingredients, they just assemble and present it in a different way. Their claim to fame is their hot sauce bar. But they only give you a teeny tiny plastic cup for that. How am I going to dip my chip or taco in that? It’s tiny, y’all… I’m a dipper.
That being said, the food is decent and I’ve not gotten sick.
Favorites are:
Mexican Pizza
Quesadilla
The queso and chips are good and so is the black beans and rice.
I like this location and there is plenty of parking in the back.

We love this chain and all its locations. We made it a point to go two times in six days during our visit — so we obviously miss them!
I always get the two tacos with beef and refried beans and a side of queso for the chips. The tacos are filled up to the perfect level and the toppings always taste fresh. The queso just perfect for the chips (note: if you are with someone and want to both get sides of queso — just do the queso appetizer since it’s cheaper). Normally we also get some of the cookie dough flautas to finish off our meal, and they are amazing.
Fingers crossed this chain starts opening locations towards the west coast soon!
Overall: A+
Always friendly service, quirky environment, hot sauce bar, fresh food. Perfection!
