    Garlic Lime Shrimp Bowl with Chips & Handmade Salsa
    Vanessa T.

    Wish I'd gotten pics of the interior, this place is a vibe. Came with a decent sized group, and it wasn't busy at all for a dinner time. Maybe because it was a weekday. Ordered the Garlic Lime Shrimp Bowl. Didn't know what to expect, but picture a slightly fresher Chipotle bowl. Definitely recommend for a healthier-feeling option. Super yummy. Didn't realize it came with chips. Very Americanized "Mexican" food. This place isn't exactly like TJ, but still really yummy. Covered in cool, quirky decor. Surprisingly served wine. Good patio. This place is perfect for a date night, to go out with friends, or even a family meal. I already want to go back!

    This was such a fun experience! I was craving some flautas and I saw their food pictures on yelp and decided I had to try them out! They have super delicious queso for purchase that is bottomless. Their flautas were not the best I've had but they were good. My husband had the chimichanga and liked it. We were not briefed on all their sauces but I heard they are known for them and usually have a sauce bar set up but have removed it due to COVID. My sister and her husband got burritos and they were huge. I would not say this is the best quick serve Mexican food but I would return simply for the bottomless queso although it could be a little less salty.

    Megajuana Bowl with Steak
    Rhett B.

    Tijuana Flats has always been one of my favorite Mexican-Americano-Tex Mex places to visit. The food is always great. It has reasonable prices and a hot sauce bar to sample. If Dothan, where I am from, would build a Tijuana Flats, I would never go to another Mexican place. Thank goodness Fort Walton Beach had one I could eat at on one of my recent trips. This one is definitely the most unique Tijuana Flats I have been to since it is in a old Burger King. I tried something new on my last visit since I am trying to lose weight. I chose the Megajuana Bowl with Steak, no rice, and queso and chipotle topped. It was shockingly better than I imagined it would be. Most of that reason is because the steak was juicy and tender. I am always weary of steak from Mexican places since it is usually very poor quality or tastes similar to dog food. There was not a bad piece of steak in my bowl. The queso is fabulous always. And the different hot sauces that I get to add to the bowl, makes it an experience with so many tastes. My favorite hot sauce is the Georgia Peach. It tastes little to nothing like peach. It is sweet and almost like a BBQ sauce. Come on Tijuana...come to Dothan, AL!

    The Hot Bar!

    My Go To Mexican Food when i'm in Fort Walton Beach. Fantastic food, excellent service, and two for one draft beer that never disappoints. Seeing it's Tuesday, I got their Tijuana Tuesday Special grabbing a 1 Carnitas and 1 Chicken taco (their big!) Don't forget to check out the back of the room where they have 20 different kinds of hot sauce, ranging from 'Smack my Sweet Ass' on the mild side all the way to to the newest one on the hot side "Smack the Reapers Ass"... my personal Fav!

    The food was excellent in Family fun environment and nice friendly service. It is line the Tijuana Flats n Jacksonville and Lake Mary.

    Funky atmosphere, delicious food

    Taco Tuzeday is our favorite day and menu item! For $6.49 (+$1 for steak....WORTH IT!), you get 2 tacos, chips & drink. There are options like soft or crunchy taco shells, corn or flour tortillas, you can choose to add all or none of: tomatoes, lettuce, cheese, onions, jalapeños, and sour cream. There are menus by the front door, and once you know what you want to order, head up to the counter. They take your name, take your order, you pay, get your drink (including beer options), and take a seat. When your order is ready, they deliver it to your table with a smile. While you wait for your order from a wonderful menu, you can visit the hot sauce bar at the rear of the dining room. They offer little cups to hold your choices of over 10 hot sauces, registering from mild to wild. They even offer bottles of some of them for sale at the counter. Today we discovered that if you buy a $5 coozie, for ever after all cans and bottles of beer are $2. Out front is a decent sized patio with umbrellas to shade the area. For well behaving pups, this area is open for you to hang out with them.....or anyone else who enjoys eating in the fresh air!

    Excellent hot sauce bar mild to wow!

    As I mentioned in my Yelp check in comment, "This reminds us of a favorite restaurant we visited frequently near our home n Southern California...Salsa & Beer." Great food in a casual, relaxed, matching atmosphere. Fun, colorful, eclectic decor representing various and sundry themes are displayed all over the place. Murals, painted celling tiles, virtually every space is covered with eye-catching art; almost a sensory overload. Not a gigundous menu but a great one nevertheless. We started with a tray of fresh, made-in-house-from-scratch tortilla chips (thin, crisp and tasty-toasty), salsa (slightly spicy and tomato-tang savory - common but fair), guacamole (thick and creamy and loaded with great flavor). The entrées we chose at our table ranged from flautas (thin and flavorful, crisped just right) to tacos (fresh fish topped with veggie accoutrements) to burrito bowls (skipping the carbs here) to a nice kids meal of chicken nuggets with tortilla chips and applesauce. And when our little one asked for another serving of applesauce, the helpful, congenial staff brought him another portion free of charge. (Class!) Everything we ordered was a winner-winner-Mexican dinner! Flavors were spot on, ingredients mixed with flair and - some items were supersized as a special of the day while a few draft beers were BOGO! Can't beat that. So... ya wanna kick your tacos or burrito (or whatever) up a notch? Then try one ... better yet, try several of the sauces from TF's amazing "Hot Bar." Holy mackerel! There are sauces here covering the gamut from simple-and-sweet to super-hot heat. Sweet Chili, Georgia Peach, Louisiana Swamp Scum, Smack My Ass and Call Me Sally, Red Ghost, Green Ghost, Iguana Radioactive, and several more. Warning, Will Robinson, do not get the sauces near your eyes.They can be excruciatingly irritating. (And just to balance the kudos with a dose of food frankness, there was one sauce that fell totally flat in my book of flavor faves: Curry something -- meh-ick.) But virtually all the others - they're darn good. Come on in and meet your heat. No doubt in my mind that Tijuana Flat's success comes from their philosophy and overall approach - making things in house from very fresh ingredients, serving people with pride, joy, and ... having a wonderful sense of humor. Come meet and eat and -- sometime please be sure to read the details of their operation on line. Giving, caring, sharing goodness.

    Atom Bomb
    Ankit G.

    A must try if you like mexican and hot sauce if your life... besides the great food ( i ordered an atom bomb, cheese quesadilla and chimichanga) everything was perfectly done. The hot sauce bar is one to die for... i almost tried every hot sauce on display.. the tropical chilly curry delight was my fav. The one and only disappointment were the churos. I'll come back for sure... great service and ambiance as well.

    Burrito bowl with guacamole
    Matt B.

    Any place that has more than 16 hot sauces that you can sample has a special place in my heart. Although it's like a borderline fast food joint, they do a pretty darn good job in welcoming you in the door, getting your order, and serving you some delicious Mexican food. Their burrito bowls are awesome, especially when you get the works (lettuce, onion, pepper, salsa, cheese, etc). I preferred their guacamole over the salsa, but they were both legit. Their quesadillas are jam packed and oozing with cheese and [insert preferred meat here]. I've been told they've got specials on Tuesdays. But the main pull is their super tasty hot sauces. The Smack My Ass and Call Me Sally is their brand name, of which I bought a bottle of their Smack My Ass and Call Me Hot Sriracha.

    Hard day, hope nachos make it better!

Unfortunately, the customer service completely ruined it. I saw my waiter maybe four times during the entire 45 minutes I was there: when he brought my water, took my order, brought my CORRECT order, and then finally walked by 10-15 minutes after I had finished eating. I actually had to ask another employee to find him because I was sitting with the wrong food for about 10 minutes. In the end, I had to flag him down just to get my check and a to-go box. The food was decent. The street corn was absolutely delicious, but my tacos barely had any toppings. I ordered water and never received a single refill the entire time I was there. It's disappointing because the ambiance and first impression gave me such high expectations. The restaurant is beautiful, but the service was so poor that I unfortunately won't be returning.

Since the Mary Esther location was conveniently close to where we were staying, we decided to stop by and place a to-go order. Upon arrival, we went to the bar to order, and the bartender was friendly and helpful. My husband ordered the grilled chicken quesadilla, which the bartender highly recommended, along with a soft taco. I chose the shredded chicken soft taco. When we got back to our hotel and tried the food, we were pleasantly surprised. The flavors were well-balanced and delicious without being overwhelming. The seasoning was just right, allowing the freshness and quality of the ingredients to stand out. Both the quesadilla and tacos were flavorful, satisfying, and clearly prepared with care. We enjoyed our first experience so much that we returned two days later. This time, we both ordered the grilled chicken and avocado salad. Once again, the food exceeded our expectations. The salads contained generous portions of grilled chicken, the avocado was fresh and perfectly ripe, and there was an excellent balance of vegetables and protein. It was a filling meal without feeling heavy. The only minor issue during our second visit was that we requested balsamic dressing, but it was accidentally left out of our to-go order. However, we did not check our bag before leaving, so we share some responsibility for not catching the oversight. Surprisingly, the salad was so fresh and flavorful that we still thoroughly enjoyed it without the dressing. Based on the two meals we have tried, we have been very impressed with both the quality and consistency of the food. The ingredients tasted fresh, the portions were generous, and the flavors were excellent. As newcomers to the area, we are always looking for restaurants worth revisiting, and this is definitely one we plan to return to. We would happily recommend it to others looking for a reliable and enjoyable dining experience.
