We stopped here after my board meeting for dinner. The restaurant was very nice and the seating design was beautiful. Service was good. Our waiter was on point and came by often. We ordered steak fajitas and #1 combo. The food was absolutely delicious. Highly recommended read more

I love the concept of this place. It's a step up from Taco Bell but not a full blown Mexican restaurant at the same time. Been here a few times now and I'm mainly sold because of the hot sauce bar that they rotate every so often. Huge fan of some spicy and heat and this place hits that fix when I'm in the mood. This time around the wife and I got the 2 for $22 on (Saturday's only) deal. Came with 1 appetizer, 2 drinks and 2 entrees. I went with the Cheesy Steak Flautas and glad I did. They had great flavor and a crispy outer shell. The steak was cooked and chopped perfectly. The meal came with some chips and sour cream and cheese. I would give this location 5 stars but they fall short in one area. STAFF! Don't get me wrong the staff that is there is amazing and are working hard to keep things moving but I feel like they are understaffed often. If management can help this in anyway. It would go a long way! read more

Tijuana Flats - Cheesy Steak Flautas - Mexican Near Me - Lutz, Florida

We've been to this Tijuana Flats location many times and usually have a decent experience, but today was disappointing. I ordered a street taco and was given a soft taco instead. The steak itself--pictured--looked like leftover scraps and just wasn't good at all. The service was okay, nothing terrible, but nothing that really stood out either. For the price, we expected better. We paid about $32 + tip, and honestly could've gone to Texas Roadhouse and had a much better meal for the same amount. A little messy but overall clean. Hoping this was just an off day, but today's visit definitely missed the mark. read more

Tijuana Flats - Birria Street Tacos - Mexican Near Me - Lutz, Florida

This is probably the best Tijuana Flats location that my family has been to. We've done dine-in, delivery/Door Dash, and picked up our own food to-go, and it's always been good. Once in a while some "extra toppings" fall onto my semi-picky family member's plain cheese quesadilla (for example a few pieces of shredded lettuce seem to make it in) but I'm guessing that it's busy in the back and the toppings are close together? If you go on Saturdays you can get their 2 for $22 deal which is a nice savings. read more

Picked up food on Taco Tuesday. Can't beat the $7.99 deal for two tacos, soft or hard shell, chips and a drink. My wife and I both got the blackened chicken hard shell tacos. Nice size tacos and they were tasty. The order was ready when I got there. Better than the fast food taco place and cheaper! read more

The staff was PERFECT!! They were kind, efficient, on top of everything. We can't wait to go back and eat again. Thank you and see you soon!!!! read more

We come here after church all the time, amazing place!! Pat was so so helpful! He's the best. Food is amazing and the vibes are so good. 10 out of 10 would def recommend!! read more

This is a good location. The staff are friendly. My orders are correct and the food comes out hot. The dining room is small compared to other locations but there is also outside seating. I like a classic hard beef taco with side of guac and Don't be a chicken sh**. Sometimes the Hot Bar is out of sauce flavors. read more

Food was cold! Portion size ridiculous! This location has been going down hill for sometime now. Sorry, can't take the ride to the bottom! I'm out! read more

Tijuana Flats - Megajuana Dos Tacos? - Mexican Near Me - Lutz, Florida

I was really excited and hoping this would be our New Mexican place but Tijuana committed a cardinal food service sin tonight. We ordered delivery, a mile away, and got a steak burrito and a steak chimichanga. Food arrived fast enough and hot enough temperature and appeared to have everything it was supposed to. The steak burrito and my chimichanga toppings, the bf was convinced that there was cross-contamination happening (which wasn't the worst offense), but stated the lettuce was atrocious smelling and he couldn't move past that. It smelled heavily of iceberg lettuce, but I'm used to that strong aroma when products are not freshly prepared. I also got guac with the chips included (paid $4 for a small portion), and it was bad. Wholly guacamole clearly used as an avocado paste for the base, scarce tomatoes, and no seasoning. I had to get up to add salt, pepper, Tabasco, lime, and cilantro to make it slightly enjoyable. I remembered the salsa was atrocious but it turns out the guac isn't much better, albeit fixable if you're willing to pay to make the guac for them. My chimichanga was prepared correctly and hit the spot, I ate it all. The habanero hot sauce we ordered was a watered down franks red hot, definitely not a homemade sauce. We were excited to try a homemade sauce, but there's no denying the flavor of Franks Red Hot to two hot sauce lovers. His burrito is where the biggest issue of them all lies. As he was eating, about halfway through, he started coughing. He spits out his food and pulls this long black piece of something out of the pile and states he almost choked on it and was unsure as to what it was and asked me. I was trying to give the benefit of the doubt and think maybe a cilantro stem but the moment I touched it, I knew it was plastic. Sharp, hard, and lots of edges, this piece of plastic in the photo was inside of his burrito and could have injured him. From an operational standpoint, I'd check your utensils and train your staff not to put plastic directly on hot surfaces. While I get things happen, this was a horribly scary mistake that cannot be looked past for the unnecessary risk you placed him in tonight. Absolutely appalling and will never be back after losing that trust. read more

The food and service are great. The selection of sauces is fantastic and the atmosphere is cozy and fun.

Tacos suck. Terrible. Service was okay. Tortillas are nasty. If you dont serve horchata or pastor you cannlt call your self a mexican restaurant read more

"That will be 15.47", wow this must be awesome and totally worth it......right? Nope tiny portion just another money grab in an already inflated economy I ordered the chimichanga and it looks like it's off the kids menu, quality was a 6/10 at best. For $16 this is a joke!!!! (I am a skinny fit person who eats normal portion sizes) read more

Ok, just for all your awareness, I'm still somewhat new to Florida. I've never heard of Tijuana Flats prior to moving here. I guess my best description of this place is a gourmet Taco Bell. I tried multiple of their hot sauces which I found pretty good. I hat the Chicken Tacos and the Carnitas Burrito. I really liked the chicken tacos and the ingredients seemed fresh. The carnitas burrito was ok. Lacked some flavor. Their salsa was scrumptious and I recommend the chips and salsa. Just keep in mind this is not authentic but delicious. On to the next one! read more

The tacos are great. The chips are amazing. They put plenty stuffing in the tacos. Really good we enjoyed it. Service was good, and the stores were well kept. read more

Ordered guac starter, which I did not get! Trainee was very confused and trainer didn't take over the order! Get home to find no salsa. Don't chips automatically come with salsa? Was a soup sandwich of an experience to say the least! Should've went to Moe's!! read more

Enjoyed their new limited edition Chimichurri Steak Tacos on corn tortillas. they were quite yummy. The cold toppings made the steak cold quickly but I loved them. Absolutely love the chip seasoning.

Tijuana Flats - Chimichurri Steak Tacos - Mexican Near Me - Lutz, Florida

This is my sixth pick up/takeout order at this Tijuana location and I think it's finally time for me to give a true and consist review. I have ordered to-go three different ways (i.e. phone, mobile app & in-person) and every single time my order has come out wrong. From missing items to completely wrong ones being given...something is ALWAYS wrong. I would give them a break if it was always slammed when I did my order but 5 out of the 6 times were on a very slow weekdays. Never leave the store without checking your order. Like literally open up the boxes and even check the ingredients put into your entree. read more

First time here. OK, not great, not bad. Don't care for the concept of a partial waitress, leave a tip, order yourself, get your own refills etc. $22 for a burrito and enchiladas with cokes. Sides of beans and rice are tasty, but not very generous portions. Burrito and sauces were ok, beef with a bit of a chew. Chicken enchiladas were better. Sauces and choices were a good selection. Still trying to find authentic Mexican food in the area. Most are just meh. We came from an area with alot of choices of authentic Mexican, but have yet to find one here. At first we thought our sodas were slushies because the entire cup was filled with crushed ice. When we sat down to eat I got literally five sips out of my cup before it was empty. You have to bring your cup up to the counter to get a refill. Will we return? Probably not. Was just OK, nothing special. read more

The service was good and the food was okay. However, the atmosphere was absolute garbage. It was so loud in there due to the fact that the kitchen staff was blasting rap music filled with cuss words dropping the N word over and over again so loud that it was overpowering the overhead music that already plays throughout the restaurant. It was so much noise that it gave my husband and I a bad headache and made us want to just get up and leave. It was unprofessional and there were little kids in the restaurant that could hear it as well. I don't mind some music but the noise made for an unpleasant experience.... we also sat by the window. No reason for the kitchen music to be that loud. read more

Picked up tacis on the way home. I live 3 mins from the restaurant. Tacos were ICE COLD!!! How does this happen?

I've been here a couple times but i'm just now reviewing. I love tijuana and it's one of my go to's the man who took our order was very nice and exactly what you would expect from tijuana the woman that took my refill on the other hand was a bit rude but their car seemed to be getting towed or something so it's understandable. The food was great!, athlough when it came out to us my order was incorrect but i didn't complain since i was wanting to get something new anyways since i get the same thing every-time. (the chips are always some of my favorites of all time!!) but my incorrect order still tasted very good so no complaints, the restaurant had nice music and cool drawings and such on the walls. i love Tijuana i would definitely go again! read more

I happened to go here twice in two days. I didn't know everything was cooked to order and made of healthy ingredients at this chain until my Mom told me today. They should advertise that! I got the Dos Tacos the first day: one crispy fish, the other was beef. It came with nachos and various hot sauces and regular sauces to choose from. It definitely hit the spot, but didn't knock me on my feet, but still fantastic for about $6. The second day I got a chicken burrito with everything on it that was on sale as it was Thursday with a free drink and chips. Sizeable portion and definitely tasty enough for $6. Hmm... Guess I'm coming here more. read more

Decided to grab a quick bite at our local Tijuana Flats. I saw they had several new items on the menu so we decided to order the Queso Burrito Crunch. It had plenty of chicken, but too much queso for my taste. The chips were plentiful as usual. I do not think I would order this again. It did not have the "crunch" it advertised. If you like queso, you would probably love it. But for my taste, it was just okay. The place was clean and our outside table indicated it had been sanitized. read more

We love their tacos. Particularly the blackened chicken and ground beef. The order takers are always dead on, and read the order back to you to make sure it's correct. The taco Tuesday deal is great. They ran it all weekend to celebrate national taco day, so we visited 2 days in a row. We're not a fan of hot sauces, the food is tasty enough without them. However, if you do like them, there are plenty to choose from. They range from sweet, to death sauce. They are all well labeled tho, so you won't have any issues. We will certainly keep visiting. read more

Nice place and service, but food seriously lacked flavor. We're from Texas where Tex-mex is everywhere, and this place left us quite disappointed. read more

One of my hubby and i's new fave chain Mex places. Great service very friendly and helpful. Gd food. We have had their tacos they r bigger than usual tacos, rice bowls, burritos, enchilada, gd seasonings, great salsa. And a hot sauce bar if that's ur kind of thing. Wish they can add fajitas to their menu but hopefully in time. I'm happy that we finally have tried them. I like them better than moes which isn't far away. read more

I love Tijuana flats! It may be their awesome hot sauce bar that calls my name! Their cookie dough flauntas as for dessert alone is worth the visit! Their pico is so good too! One of my favorites for a quick meal. Katie the sweet girl at the register is on her A game! She was so helpful with placing my order. I usually can't make up my mind, so I told her to surprise me. She made an awesome choice! The place is spotless. The register area is neat and tidy. One table got up and left, literally within seconds someone was there to clear it and wipe it down. Now to order those cookie dough flauntas... read more

Went here for a birthday lunch with a friend. (Happy Birthday, Frank) I've been here on a few occasions, and during the month of October, they invite you to eat a pink taco to help raise funds for Breast Cancer Research.. I'm sorry, I just can't order one, let alone eat one with a straight face. AHEM! We ordered at the counter, the staff was quick and efficient. We sat at the tables outside because it was a flippin' fabulous day. Our food came out fast and it was tasty. I love that they have the sauce bar for folks who need it, but me, I'm not one of them fancy folks. :) read more

Ordered for delivery (1st time in awhile), the food was good however, not great. Disappointed but will try again.

Tijuana Flats is amazing as a chain. Just thought I would throw that out there - they're amazing and if you haven't tried them, go to your nearest location ASAP and order up a feast. They will not disappoint. This location is my favorite. The service is great, the staff are nice, and I have never had an order messed up yet. Eating in is nice, I love the decor ( great murals at every location) and the salsa and sauce bar. However, I enjoy their takeout service. Order online or over the phone. The staff is fast, polite and aims for excellence. I would recommend anything with their blackened chicken ( my favorite is the grilled burrito) or a nacho dish. They make things just right - a little bit of spice for flavor, but not so much that you are cramming tortilla chips for sanity. If you need a good kick or a different flavor for your meal try one of their many sauces - my favorite ( although mild) is the dictator. If you want good fast Tex Mex, this is the place. read more

Why 3 stars? The food is actually pretty decent, the free refills as they come around to your table is nice. Some staff goes far and above but some just does not like work. My main area of concern is getting the right food. Have visited numerous times and always seems to be at least one thing wrong with someone's order every trip. No lettuce: Get Lettuce Wet with queso: dry as a bone They could jump to a very smooth 4 star and pushing for more with some slight effort. read more

Place is wack. staff was very rude and place was very hot inside. Tijuana on fowler is a much better experience. def not coming back here

I literally work at tijuana and they didn't give me my employee discount, also there ac doesn't work

Food untouched until I finish this review. Ordered a burrito with all the fixings and queso. Food arrived and the burrito was smothered in queso. I mentioned this to the waitress and they fixed it for me... and there in a brownie.... and a side of queso for free. I'll be back -Arnold Schwarzenegger read more

We stopped in for the advertised enchiladas. We usually eat at the North Dale Mabry store but err on our way to NPR, we were greeted immediately and made to feel welcome. Our orders were served promptly and the food was hot. The assistant manager came by to check on us and assure all was well. The food was really good. Before we left the manager stopped by and refilled our drinks. This is a clean and open place. Outside there are lots of spaces. We really enjoyed our meal. read more

Food is mostly on point, but this store needs some big help in terms of speed and customer service. Multiple times I have ordered curbside delivery and it's taken forever to even be acknowledged by someone. I've either had to go inside or call to get my order and it's not even busy inside. I might have to take my business to another Tflats! read more
