    I used to really enjoy Taco Tuesday here but noticed they've skimmed protein portions consistently. Flavor profile is still on point for the hot sauces and other menu items. The staff is usually friendly at this location.

    I love seeing how each restaurant decorates their location with local funky touches. It's so fun to see. I have never had a bad experience or meal at any tijuana flats. It's always so good. The quality is always consistent. The service, for a quick service restaurant is fantastic. You order up front and your food will come out hot and fresh brought to your table. The staff is very friendly and attentive. They clean your table and offer refills on your drink. You have to try the sauce bar. So much variety. And best part is that you can even buy some of your favorite sauces. I love their flautas. Especially the ground beef ones. The portions are generous and a great deal. You get a side of tortilla chips, and all the fixins: sour cream, guac, queso, lettuce, onions, tomatoes. And they always have the good ice for your drinks. The nugget ice. The best kind! If you want something good, fresh, doesn't break the budget, and a bang for your buck, this is the place to go.

    New Dueling Queso & Chips
    Rebeca A.

    Great atmosphere, friendly professional staff, the restaurant is very clean all around. As soon as we walked in we were greeted by a friendly staff member, she told us a little bit about each carnitas dish that was part of the New Cranked Up Menu Items. We picked the Spicy Habanero Carnitas Burrito and the Chipotle BBQ Pork Tacos along with the Dueling Queso and Chips. I loved the tacos, the bbq sauce was not overpowering and you were able to taste every ingredient. My husband had the burrito and he loved the spice level and said it was really filling. The dueling queso and chips was great for us because I am more of a white queso lover and he enjoys yellow queso, perfect dish to share. The staff kept checking up on us to see if we needed anything, very attentive. Can't beat great food and great service!

    Atom Bombs
    John M.

    This particular location of Tijuana Flats is located on Orange Avenue, South of downtown Orlando. It is located within a strip mall, so parking is not really an issue. The service here is exceptional. As my daughter and I approached the entrance, a friendly young woman opened the door and cheerily greeted us. From there, we approached the cashier, who was every bit as friendly and both these interactions started off a fantastic experience at this particular location of Tijuana Flats. Both my daughter and myself ordered something from the new shrimp menu. I went with the shrimp quesadilla and my daughter ordered the shrimp bowl. We also started by sharing their atom bomb appetizer. We also tried quite a few of the hot sauces from their "hot bar" (which have multiple hot sauces ranging from relatively mild to extremely spicy). All the food was excellent and multiple members of the staff, including the manager, kept checking on us, making sure our drinks were kept filled and making sure our experience was as positive as possible. This Tijuana Flats and its team are definitely great ambassadors of the Tijuana Flats brand and a positive reflection of the Tijuana Flats chain overall. I will give this Tijuana Flats five stars.

    My husband happened to get the yelp elite reward to get two soft drinks, one appetizer, and two entrées that were shrimp themed. The appetizer we got was the atom bomb, and I got the shrimp quesadilla and my husband got the shrimp lime bowl. I got a Sprite and my husband got Dr Pepper. My husband took the food home for us to enjoy it, and unfortunately when I took a sip of my sprite it was just soda water with no Sprite flavoring. i'm sure if we were eating at the restaurant they would've replaced my drink. My husband said the root beer was fine. We both felt that the atom bomb appetizer was a bit heavy to us, it was basically a fried quesadilla with multiple types of cheeses inside. My shrimp quesadilla was decent, and I always like how many chips you get from Tijuana. The chips are always really good and I love all of their different salsa choices. I will say I wish my quesadilla had a bit more salt on it but overall it was decent. My husband really enjoyed his shrimp rice bowl but he wished it was a little larger. We will definitely be back, but I think we would try to order different things on the menu next time.

    Grabbing dinner before seeing Pretty Woman the Musical. Trying the steak burrito this time. There was a little too much rice for my taste but the steak tasted good. I had the meal deal with refried beans which filled me up.

    Chips and Guac
    Mark C.

    Yelp Elite deal was a good sampling opportunity! Thanks Tijuana Flat's and Yelp. My fav. Would be the roasted shrimp quesadillas. Shrimp were plump and tasty with the roasted flavors. Lot more food than the shrimp tacos. (oops didn't do a shrimp count per slice) TONS OF CHIPS when you order the chips and guacamole appetizer and a shrimp entree. The guac is pretty basic lacking garlic or cilantro, but fresh. Chips are not over salted and plenty crisp! The shrimp tacos have FIVE fried and still plump shrimp with corn and cheese and yummy pickled purple onions. A good 2nd choice.

    Chips and Queso
    Gianna N.

    I mean, can you go wrong with a little Tijuana Flats? The answer is no. The queso NEVER fails. Ever, I mean ever, ever. We are OBSESSED. I enjoy the quesadillas, flautas and nachos as well. As Tex-Mex, Tijuana is solid. They have the excellent sauce bar ranging from non-spicy to extremely hot. You can customize your order quite a bit. I really enjoy coming here from time to time, especially when I am craving queso. All that's needed is the ability to add some chorizo to it, and it would be perfection.

    Lacey, great hostess friendly
    Ida C.

    Love the decor of this location. This place makes you feel festive. Beautiful decor on inside and outside. The food was delicious. Had the carnitas tacos and burrito. It was delicious. My hostess Lacey was top notch. Helping me with my choices. You will love this place if you love Mexican food, better than fast food Mexican food. Food came within a reasonable amount of time. Planing to visit again

    Laura C.

    This was my first time at one of their locations abd it didn't disappoint, the guac was fresh, the chips were crispy and the servings were a good portion , I like that they have a outdoor seating area so we were able to bing our puppy along

Service was great - food was fast! My husband and I each got specialty margaritas - we ordered "small" and were glad! They were pretty big. The mediums must be huge. Drinks were delicious and had a ton of fruit inside. My husband loved the mole chicken and the bean dip that comes with the chips was yummy. I, however, should have stuck with the beans. As a vegetarian, I decided to give some love to the soy taco option. It had some good reviews from 4-5 years back and I try to support creative veggie food when I can. I make tacos with a soy food product and they're delicious, so I was hopeful. I should have refrained. First of all, they looked pretty gross. Little pink lumps, not at all what I was expecting. I added cheese and ordered them in soft corn tortillas (they come in lettuce). It was so bland and had an unpleasant texture. But it also had this fake smell to it. I added salsa, thinking it would help. It did not. The pinto beans that came with it were also pretty bland. I barely ate one of the tacos. It's been a long time since I couldn't eat the food I ordered. They should stick to beans and rice. I also got a cheese enchilada from the à la carte menu. That was good! All in all, I might go back if I wanted a fruit salad in my margarita, but I will absolutely not order the soy tacos again!

I noticed that when a manager (I assume) saw the Fortaleza bottle he rushed over to the bartender and had a side conversation about it while looking over at us. When the bill came, I was told that we were being charged for 3 drinks rather than 2 because he gave us each 2oz pours (standard neat, but maybe he didn't know that) and was being "nice" by not charging 4 drinks. Because they were already having side conversation about it, I knew this wasn't a battle I'd win. So I paid, tipped 25% and left, but I was definitely going to leave a review. Just know going here, they will charge whatever they want for drinks and make up rules. I paid $75 for 2 drinks. I won't be back. Adding on due to the reply. The person that replied to my review was not there during my service and is lying. Neither me or the gentleman with me asked for anything other than the tequila neat, we did however have conversation about our visit to the Fortaleza Distillery in Jalisco and how they pride themselves on businesses they sell to not overcharging for their tequila. Fortaleza was NOT listed in your menu, we saw it on the shelf and asked for it neat. As a bartender NEAT is a known pour. Please don't disrespect me by making things up. As I already stated, we simply asked for clarification which is what I added in my review, paid, tipped 25% and left. A reply from the business was unnecessary, this review is for other bar goers.

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.
