    Inside While We Waited for To-Go Order - 4:45ishpm = After Lunch Yet Before Rush Hour
    JD W.

    My friend and I went for Taco Tuesday and their Dos Tacos special - 2 tacos, chips, and a drink for $6.99. They also had a special for a small queso or guac for a good price. We were greeted ad soon as we walked in. The team was helpful, patient, and nice while we ordered. While we waited for our to-go order, the restaurant was clean, and the hot sauce bar was clean as well. The food was good, fresh, and a good portion.

    There's not a whole lot to say regarding Tijuana flats. This is a Tex-Mex style chain that is all over Central Florida. I'm not sure if they have them in different areas but there's definitely a bunch in Central Florida. We recently went here during work for lunch and that wasn't the first time we have been to this location. I'm usually a very big fan of Tijuana flats, I like the food, I know what to expect, but this past time definitely has me thinking otherwise. My first issue is that it's very difficult to find the menu online. They list the food, but you can't really see what's in it or what comes with it unless you're going to start a mobile order. We went right at the start of lunch to beat the crowds and when we walked in, we were greeted but the three people behind the counter were busy doing something else, so it took us a few minutes to order. No one really looked up. I knew exactly what I wanted, and I wanted the nachos. She asked me if I wanted to add chicken which was an extra charge, but I decided to do it. I also asked for no beans and extra cheese. Now what I got was literally some chips with shredded cheese on top. When you get nachos, you really tend to think that the cheese will be melted but that was not the case here. They definitely put the extra cheese on, but nothing was melted, it was cold shredded cheese on top of chips. The chicken I literally had to dig for it, and I only had three tiny Nuggets of chicken on the entire tray. I'm not exaggerating and paying extra for chicken and only getting 3 tiny pieces, hello rip off! I really should have complained but being with a bunch of coworkers I didn't want to make a scene. Even one of my coworkers asked if I had just ordered chips with shredded cheese on top. They also said it was supposed to come with sour cream to which I did not get that either. This was probably the worst experience I've ever had at Tijuana flats, and not because of the staff. They were fine, nothing over the top fantastic but just fine. It really was the food. I did send an e-mail later on to Tijuana Flats and I've never heard back from them. Now I don't know if it's just this location or the restaurant overall, but I will definitely think twice before I'm willing to try it again. Besides that, they also have burritos, tacos, salads, all of the typical Tex-Mex food you see and expect. What they're really known for is their hot sauce bar. They have about 15 to 20 different sauces ranging in spice level to add to your food items. All in all, it's definitely going to be a little bit until I'm willing to give them a try again. Definitely would order something different next time if I go with my coworkers. The walls are also always painted differently from location to location, its a fun environment. And don't forget to get a refill on your drink before you leave!

    Garlic Shrimp Bowl - just ok. Would have benefited from some fresh lime. The shrimp (other than being over cooked) had a great flavor.

    I have enjoyed Tijuana for years. The food is good, nothing amazing but you know what you are going to get and the sauce bar is the best part. I appreciate lately the menu is evolving and branching out. The 5th star for this location is due to how clean this place is/was on the day of our most recent visit and the friendliness/helpfulness of the staff. We had all three boys (it was kids eat free Sunday) and as soon as we grabbed a place to sit before getting in line to order, someone was over with crayons, grabbing a high chair for our baby and taking drink orders. I really appreciated that. They anticipated our drink refills before we asked. I recommend this location and kudos to the team that works there.

    Not the experience I expected. I dropped by to have a quick lunch with my family and was greeted with a smile and quick service on a empty afternoon. After explaining I was vegan I was told that would not be a problem to them accommodate. After receiving my meal and get home I got halfway through my burrito and noticed a few chunks of chicken, thankfully I noticed before I ate it but was super frustrated and disappointed this occurred. After calling and speaking with the restaurant they did provide a credit which is why this is not 1 star. But when I attempted to get my credit meal I was only offer a entree and not a reorder which was disappointing. 3 starts as they attempted to make it right but unfortunately this was a huge mistake and could have been serious if I was allergic to chicken. Here to being hopeful for them to do better and when five. Dietary restrictions they take better precautions.

    I love this place! But was a little taken back by the message on my salad dressing today. Not sure if its all jokes or what. Other than that the food was awesome!

    I RARELY write bad reviews about places, and I have been to this location once before and the service and food we're decent. On that previous visit the restaurant was also clean. For this reason ONLY I gave them a 2 star rating. My boyfriend and I went to get lunch today at 1:45 and there were about ten people waiting. There were about four tables set up with drinks, but not much clear direction. We asked a gentleman in front of us if he has ordered and he said he placed an online order with a pickup time of 1:00 and he was STILL waiting. When we finally got the attention of one of the girls working there she informed us that there is a wait of 1.5 HOURS!! WHAT!? This is an insane wait to get a few tacos. This place must have an issue with staffing or management or both. It will be a long time before I try to eat here again!

    Hemp Pizza roller. Good visibly. Crappy taste. Should have the stuff on the outside on the inside.

    Tflats tried to step the burrito game up but is disappointing. Had a pizza burrito and chicken and waffle burrito. while Looks good as an attempt but fails miserably. Only reason I give them a positive review is because their customer service is amazing.

For food we started with chips and salsa. Give me chips in a flowerpot and suddenly I am fancy. Then we ordered the Tostones and Plantain Roll with Salmon. Just a heads up, do not order any additional meat or seafood with the Tostones. This dish is fabulous on it's own. The Plantain Roll was an unexpected combination that my tastebuds thoroughly enjoyed. It was definitely not your typical sushi roll. We sat at the bar and our bartender took great care of us. Between the environment, creative menu and friendly service, this was definitely a fun experience. I would suggest you come hungry, but make sure your phone is charged because at this spot, the camera most certainly eats first.

Drinks were delicious and had a ton of fruit inside. My husband loved the mole chicken and the bean dip that comes with the chips was yummy. I, however, should have stuck with the beans. As a vegetarian, I decided to give some love to the soy taco option. It had some good reviews from 4-5 years back and I try to support creative veggie food when I can. I make tacos with a soy food product and they're delicious, so I was hopeful. I should have refrained. First of all, they looked pretty gross. Little pink lumps, not at all what I was expecting. I added cheese and ordered them in soft corn tortillas (they come in lettuce). It was so bland and had an unpleasant texture. But it also had this fake smell to it. I added salsa, thinking it would help. It did not. The pinto beans that came with it were also pretty bland. I barely ate one of the tacos. It's been a long time since I couldn't eat the food I ordered. They should stick to beans and rice. I also got a cheese enchilada from the à la carte menu. That was good! All in all, I might go back if I wanted a fruit salad in my margarita, but I will absolutely not order the soy tacos again!
