    Packed!

    Standard T-Flats. Big fan, of all the Tex-Mex places, T-Flats is the best. The only thing about this location is the layout. Don't like it. Too much going on around the registers (seating, hot sauce bar, people waiting to order, traffic to go sit outside, traffic to go to the restroom). Just saying.

    Tijuana Flats, Cleveland Ave., Ft. Myers, Fl., Here is my 2 cents on the food and chatter. I was in the mood for a taco but settled for enchiladas. So I decided to try this place The best things first. Outstanding staff. Very helpful. Plus a believe it or not a hot & spicy sauce bar. Who would have known this of all things in Florida. Now the food. $6 bucks seems to be the average price here. Which is a good thing. Since Floridians have horrible taste buds this is a great thing. The food is terrible with massive amount of SODIUM...For Floridian this means SALT. Just too much. Now I know why they have this hot sauce bar. It covers the salty food. Never more for me...Though I do not have any health issue with salt. It just taste bad.

    Went in here for lunch and had the Taco Tuesday deal, two tacos with your choice of filling, a drink, and chips for under $6 -- what a deal! The girl at the counter with the colored hair was super friendly and helpful, explaining all of our options and being very patient with us. They brought our order to the table and I noticed all the hot sauces off to the side. You get to pick amongst 15 different ones. I tried the 3 hottest and my favorite was the Pyromania. Make sure you have a cold drink handy! The Tacos were cooked perfectly, one was blackened chicken, which was good, but you could get tired of the taste pretty quick. The other was the regular chicken which was amazing. The chips were a little too dark, but tasted pretty good. Trying it with all the different sauces was fun. The place was very clean and colorful, and nice bathrooms too. I like the high tables to eat your meal at.

    Black bean norito, no dairy

    This was our second visit to Tijuana Flats, and we were not disappointed. We appreciate that we can easily make vegan options from several things on the menu. They had a local beer on tap, and gave us a generous sample to try before deciding to commit to a glass of it. It was a great IPA, yes please! A quick trip the the sauce area, and our food was ready. Hot Wife felt that the chips on her plate were stale, but wasn't planning on eating them anyway. She did like her burrito, with fresh tomato, onions, peppers included. The norrito bowl was good, but I wanted chips to try with the many sauces to try, and went to order a side, but the nice young woman at the counter gave them to me no charge, a nice big basket of them! I ended up eating half of the norrito bowl with the chips, kind of like nachos with the tasty sauces on top. One thing I still don't get about Tijuana Flats is the tiny thimbles for the sauces. If you like one you can either drench your food in it with the pumps, or keep going back every 2 seconds to refill your thimble. I understand the idea, sample lots of sauces without being wasteful, but once you choose one.... Hot Wife also says they need reusable plates and real silverware. Much more environmentally friendly, and since they clean your tables (there aren't trash cans to throw away your own stuff) it seems like an easy fix. Same thing with the beer, real pint glasses would be nice, not the plastic. Hopefully Tijuana Flats recycles, but I digress. Hungry? Want a nice variety of food for every diet needs? Go to Tijuana Flats! The employees are very friendly and helpful as well.

    Dos mahi tacos
    Robbie C.

    Can't figure out all the glowing reviews. This is like the macdonalds of Tex mex only over priced. Could go to an authentic fine Mexican restaurant for the cost of this very bland food. And this coming from someone that doesn't even like numb your gums hot n spicy, but I do appreciate tasty spices. The guac had zero flavor. I wanted to get a mahi taco and veggie burrito, but the order taker couldn't figure out how to enter into cash register. Oy! No bueno. Ok, so I just got the dos tacos. Flavorless even with the sauce they put on it. They give you chips with it but if you want salsa or guac it is an upcharge. Four of us ate and all said same. Pretty flavorless and bland. Shouldn't have to use tongue numbing sauces to add flavor.

    Tuesday taco special
    Mandy C.

    I am usually not a fan of chains or fast Mexican food. But this is a solid choice for a good price meal hat is quick but fresh. This particular location can get really busy, especially on Tuesdays and Thursdays when they have some really good specials going. Busy means crowded parking lot and hard to find a seat. Despite being busy the food comes out quick Lots of variety to the menu and as others have mentioned the Hot Bar is fabulous addition! The Tijuana trio is a must for our table because we like the crispy chips and all the dips to start the meal off! I have had the tacos, burritos, salads and quesadillas. Lots of choices for meats and toppings! TIP: You can order ahead online to skip the line; they offer party platters and also do catering.

    Another favorite "fast food" place around here. This location however was set up weird. I didn't like the layout of the cash registers being on the side, very confusing and too much of a high traffic area. I get the crunchy Dos Tacos every time with beef. I love the "Smack My A** and Call Me Sally" sweet chili sauce. Will be coming back soon as it is right by my new apartment.

    Since my first visit back in 2024, where my wife brought me here, I have always looked forward to…read morereturning... and that I did. Each visit over the past couple years we've made sure to return; simple walk over to the restaurant since we used to stay at the Hilton a couple blocks away... and even now that we don't stay that close, we made an effort to detour all the way over because the food is that good and the staff are pretty awesome. The wife continues to order their superb margaritas and different taco plates; she does love those tacos. As for me, I rarely drink but now and then I treat myself to a fruity frozen drink and if at Don Tequila I got myself a frozen Mango Margarita (with a sugar rim; not masculine but delicious nonetheless); and for a guy that rarely drinks, I also ended up with a Strawberry Margarita. Ended up with a Chicken and Steak Fajitas dinner on our latest visit. Food was deliciously seasoned... steak was awesome but the chicken was a bit overcooked (dry) but a dab more sour cream and guacamole on the tortilla and it's still great.

    This place is beyond ridiculous!!!! We walked in, with a reservation, and a toddler in attendance…read moreand waited over an hour for our damn food! Absolutely the worst service ever !!! We had to ask for the manager because there was no apology or acknowledgment of us waiting that long for the food when it finally came to the table. One of the entrees wasn't even that warm....I mean REALLY!!!? My husband said it best, be leery of the Mexican strip mall restaurant. El restaurante tenía un servicio pésimo The waitress was sincere and polite. I feel bad she is dealing with this. The food was also a salt bomb! Atmosphere was good but kitchen is suffering badly. The one star is for the good frozen margaritas, salsa and chips.

    We went the other night for a burger. I ordered mine medium rare and it came out well done but they…read morefixed it and it was a juicy burger. Overall ok place in a pinch but I don't anticipate dining there often. Service was ok.

    Chili's is less a restaurant and more a carefully engineered sodium delivery system disguised as…read morecasual dining. The whole experience feels reverse-designed--not around food, flavor, or even hospitality--but around maximizing thirst, turnover, and margin. The free chips and salsa aren't generosity; they're bait. A relentless, salty onslaught engineered to dry you out and push you toward another overpriced drink. It's not hospitality--it's strategy. The menu reads like a greatest hits album of processed excess: everything oversized, over-sauced, over-salted, and underwhelming. There's a sameness to it all, as if every dish passed through the same industrial filter where nuance goes to die. You don't taste ingredients--you taste salt, sugar, and whatever corporate lab decided "bold flavor" means today. It's food that only works if your baseline expectation has already been lowered somewhere around late-night diner standards. And yet, the most frustrating part is that the people working there often seem to care. Servers hustle, try to be friendly, try to elevate something that fundamentally can't be elevated. They're polishing a system that was never built for quality in the first place. Chili's represents everything that's gone sideways in American casual dining: the illusion of abundance, the substitution of salt for flavor, and the prioritization of profit over experience. It absolutely appeals to a certain segment--people who equate portion size with value and intensity with quality--but for anyone expecting actual food, it's a disappointing reminder of how far the bar has fallen. In the end, Chili's doesn't just serve mediocre meals--it normalizes them.
