    Hot Sauces are still good
    Joe S.

    New Owners? NO thanks! Bring back the old owners please as this place has gone downhill. The portions are a lot smaller, the flautas barely have anything inside them, and the service is slow and non-existent. They used to come around and check to see if you needed refills on your soda pop, but now you're lucky if you even see someone behind the counter. The sauce pumps barely work too. The only thing they really have going for them is their daily specials. It's worth it for that, but anything outside of that is a waste of money these days.

    We went for the Throwback Thursday menu. I got the steak bowl and my husband for a beef burrito. I probably wouldn't get the steak again it wasn't much. However I had a bite of my husband's beef and it was better so I'd probably get that next time. The cheese sauce is the same as it's always tasted. They have a good portion of chips on the side for the meal. Fellow water drinkers please be advised their bottled water is Dasani. The service was quick. We ordered at the counter and then sat down where they brought our Togo order to us. Inside has colorful artwork and has a gun collage vibe. Overall it's an Orlando classic with good deals.

    This is just the cheese. I had to remove it. It was about an inch thick, barely any chicken.

    Honestly, this place has gone so far downhill. I ordered my typical chicken nachos and a side of small guacamole. There was probably a bag of cheese on top of the nachos barely any lettuce or tomato and my guac was half full. Honestly it was disgusting You overcharged me for chips and cheese. Just because something is takeout doesn't give you the excuse to half ass people's food. You're so stingy with the sour cream and lettuce yet you put like a pound of cheese on it.

    This particular Tijuana Flats is located on N. Avalon Park Boulevard and is located in a small strip mall next to a Walgreen's. This Tijuana Flats is basically located on the corner of N. Avalon Park Boulevard and Waterford Chase Parkway. With its location, this Tijuana Flats is convenient to both residents of Waterford Lakes and Avalon Park and is not that far off of East Colonial Drive for anyone in the mood for Tijuana Flats and traveling along East Colonial Drive. Tijuana Flats is a chain that coincidentally started here in Orlando, Florida. In addition to their Americanized version of Mexican food, Tijuana Flats also offers a hot sauce bar. Being a huge fan of hot and spicy food, this is a huge plus for me. I called in a takeout order. They gave me a pickup time of about twenty minutes and I headed over. The staff was friendly when I got there and I was on my way in a decent amount of time. I had one of their burrito bowls. I went with the Megajuana, which is their biggest and has double meat. Before I said that their food was an Americanized version of Mexican food. Kind if like a Chipotle, but they do not do an assembly line type build your meal. It is also a bit more than Chipotle, though the food is similar (truth be told, I probably prefer Chipotle over Tijuana Flats). Still, this is a good option if you want a more American take on Mexican food. Overall, I will give them five stars.

    There's hardly anything in my daughters quesadilla! They suck always

    Tijuana Flats in Avalon Park sucks! They constantly screw up the orders! The "LAST" order that we ordered was a chicken quesadilla with tomatoes and extra golden sauce and guacamole, a steak burrito with everything and got a chicken quesadilla with no cheese (except on side) and the steak burrito with everything came out as a chicken burrito with rice. Not happy. Called and they said they were going to refund the order. While in line another gentleman said they had messed his order up also and he told me it happens here all the time. He said to go to the TF by the fashion Mall. I believe that the next time I think I want TF, and willing to chance it, I will travel to the fashion mall site.

    If you had tijuana flats you know what to expect, the food is good. Tex-mex somewhat simplified and also with a hint to lay back fun. I accompanied my wife on her yelp event to try the New Queso crunchy burrito, and I got the beef chimichanga. Both were delicious. Great both in size and flavor. The service was great! Very attentive and understanding of me not hearing well and everyone talking through masks. In the end... Come on is Tijuana Flats its been around this long for a reason right! Food is good service is great, grab lunch and be happy!

    I popped in the other day for a takeout order on NYE. It wasn't very busy, but the service could have been better. I walked in and went to the register area to place my order and there was a young girl doing something on the computer. She seemed busy so I stepped back a bit since she wasn't ready. However, I was never greeted or acknowledged in that time and I stood there a few minutes. She never looked up to say hello, or to tell me it would just be a moment. It was like I wasn't even there. Finally, whenever she was done she asked how she could help me. She was pleasant taking the order, but as an initial interaction it was poor customer service. As for food, it came out relatively fast. I ordered the 2 Double Stacked Beef Tacos meal and an extra side of chips and queso. The Tacos were big. Honestly one taco is equivalent to two so I split the meal with my boyfriend. It was fresh and tasty. I would definitely come back to this location again. I just hope the customer service level at the register's changes a bit.

    Hmmm. What to do when you've been drinking beers all day??? Get some tacos!! Beers all day definitely mean tacos. Yelp brought me here. I had some delicious chicken tacos in a crispy shell. It had blacked chicken, beans and cheese. Flavors were great and the taco shell was nice and crispy! For a side I had guacamole and chips. Guac was nice and chunky and good for dipping!! Tacos also came with chips, so there was plenty of chips to go around! My friends ordered a burrito, flautas, and enchilada. Everything was enjoyed by all!

    This is the Location closer to me, and I go there often. I use the app to order to go and so far have had a good experience with them. I also Like the app rewards. We sometimes eat in, the ambience and the service is very good. The only complaint I may have is that sometimes when I order to go, there are no utensils, even when I added on the notes to please put some in. It has happened even when I have rice and beans and need at least a fork. Not biggie tho, but there have been times than I'm not going directly home so it's been challenging, overall the service is good, the food is delicious and comes out fast, the app works. Recommended.

    Disclaimer: this review is for the lunch buffet only…read more I went with my family to try the $18.49 all you can eat lunch buffet. This was my first time experiencing a buffet for hispanic food and for this price point in Orlando, this is an amazing value deal. The server regularly brought us out silverware, napkins, and refilled our water. The place is decorated very fun and plays latin music which was lovely Not only was there an unlimited assortment of lunch foods, but an entire bar of fresh toppings for tacos (or rice bowls) and made to order desserts which were included for free! Not everything on the buffet line was the best but given the amount of options, price, and how good the great items are this is still worth a five star rating. I unfortunately did not take pictures of the food before I began devouring everything in sight to the point of near-collapse, but I will do a quick rundown of the buffet highlights: The best meats were the fajita steak, chicken, and shrimp made fresh in cast iron skillets, as well as the chicken lengua which was super flavorful and tender. The mexican rice, beans, fajitas, plantains, and street corn were also excellent. Fresh quesadillas, chips, and corn tortillas on standby with homemade queso and salsas. The flan and mini churros were the best I've ever had. Super rich, decadent Carmel flan. Mini churros hot and crisp on the outside, filled with a gooey soft milk chocolate center. They were delicious. Items that were disappointing: the tamales, mini chicken flautas, and beef chimichangas were just okay, lacking the seasoning and flavor that other dishes had. The beef barbacoa was not as tender or flavorful as the shredded chicken surprisingly. The mixed seafood was itself a mixed bag with some shrimps / scallops overcooked to much while others were perfectly cooked. The chicken mole and beef tri tip were room temperature despite sitting on hot plates. The tri tip also varied widely in doneness throughout the slices and not super tender. The rice pudding was pretty standard, and the tres leches cake was weird as they crumbled the cake into pieces before soaking it.

When I sat down, I ordered the frozen Margarita flight, which came with a watermelon, mango, and strawberry Margarita. All of them were pretty good, but by far the mango was my favorite. It tasted just like you were drinking mango nectar. For my entrée, I ordered the Carne Asada tacos. They had such a great taste, and the portion size was quite generous. I ordered it with rice and beans, and it all left me feeling quite full. The atmosphere is also quite nice. With it being in the heart of downtown orlando, I thought it might be loud and busy in there, but it was actually quite quiet and relaxing. The service was also very quick and prompt to get all of our food. Our waitress made sure to check in with us throughout service to see what we needed!

    I was really looking forward to trying Solita because I had looked over the menu multiple times…read morebefore visiting, but unfortunately the experience was disappointing from start to finish. When we arrived, the restaurant was practically empty, there was no hostess, and we had to wait to be acknowledged. Our server (a Hispanic woman with heavy goth-style makeup--I didn't catch her name) was polite enough, but there were several missed opportunities to improve the experience. The biggest issue was that they were out of multiple menu items we specifically came to try. We had also planned on ordering the duck-themed cocktail that was pictured online, only to be told, "We don't do that anymore." If that's the case, the menu and promotional photos should really be updated. Food: * Chicken Nachos - 3/10: Mostly burnt chips with hard, unmelted cheese. There was barely any chicken, and they lacked flavor. * Watermelon Margarita - 0/10: It was extremely sour. I sent it back and ordered a frozen margarita instead. * Frozen Margarita - Average at best. What was frustrating is that happy hour started about seven minutes later, and our server never mentioned that nearly everything we ordered would have been half-price. A heads-up would have been appreciated. * Street Corn - 6/10: The tableside presentation of cutting it off the cob was nice, but that's really what you're paying for. It could have used much more seasoning, and only two small pieces of corn were served. * Shrimp Tacos - 2/10 * Fish Tacos - 2/10: Both were soggy and lacked flavor. * Spanish Rice - 1/10: Bland and disappointing. Overall, the food was underwhelming, several advertised menu items and drinks weren't available, and the service missed opportunities to enhance the experience. For the prices, I expected much better quality, better communication about happy hour, and a menu that matched what was actually being offered. Unfortunately, I don't see myself returning.
