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.

So close to 5 stars. Again, a local fave, but, a bit too inconsistent on temperature of food and portion size.

It was so good that I came back the very next day and brought my sister and my niece. This time, I ordered tacos and a birria quesadilla (the one that looks like a pizza). They also offer an actual birria pizza, but we went with the quesadilla -- and let me tell you, it was BIG as hell. Everything was seasoned perfectly, tasted amazing, and the presentation was on point. Now, let's talk about the location because you might think you're in the wrong place. When you pull up, it looks like an industrial area -- big parking lot, office buildings, and the place doesn't even look open. The windows are so dark and tinted you can't see inside, the parking lot might be empty, and you'll be questioning everything. Still pull on the door. When you open it, you'll see they're open. It's to-go only, no dine-in seating. The service is friendly, and they'll give recommendations if you ask. You order through a kiosk, and honestly, everything on the menu is good. I've had the tacos, burritos, quesadillas, and even the ramen -- all solid. But let me be VERY clear... My favorite thing on the menu, hands down, is the fried bread pudding. That shit is on another level. Straight up dangerous. I swear I went into a sugar coma after eating it because I passed out immediately after. It's that good. I didn't even wait until after my entrée the second time -- I ordered the dessert first because I already knew what it was giving. No pictures. No regrets. I'll absolutely be back.
