    They have the best ice!! If you know, you know!

    Considering I'm not a burrito gal, I was pleasantly surprised by the Queso Crunch Burrito. I opted for blackened chicken, always a favorite at Tijuana Flats. Thanks to the Yelp Elite event I was able to get out of my norm and try something new. Thanks Tijuana Flats for participating! My 4 star rating vs 5 is solely because of the chips. They always seem to be stale, which is unfortunate because the seasoning is great.

    Surprisingly I thought I have reviewed this location before. I've eaten here many times. They are always clean, friendly, and food is delicious. Sometimes the staff is too busy and you have to literally flag them down for what you need. I had them close before their posted time once because they said they ran out of food which was very strange to me. The best deal is the Throwback Thursdaze. It is Burrito or Bowl and a drink for $7.99.

    This location in Riverview is open about one year now. The food and service are very good. There is both indoor and outdoor seating. You place your order at the counter and they bring the food to your table. They serve all the Mexican favorites. I had a queso cheese dip with nacho chips. Then I had a steak burrito. There is a sauce bar with many different choices from mild to scalding hot. The place is clean and the servers are super nice. Parking is available right out in front.

    It's always a great time at Tijuana flats. When u walk in you're greeted at the door. The staff is friendly. This place is like a Tex-mex restaurant. I pretty much get blackened chicken everything. You can't go wrong with that. They sell beer & wine as well. They have a happy hour from 4-7p Monday through Friday. There's a host of sauces from you to choose as well for your food. I personally like the Blackened chicken Bowl. It consists of blackened chicken, rice, black beans, lettuce, tomatoes, cheese topped off with guacamole and sour cream. It's a good and flavorful bowl. You won't be disappointed. My husband got the blackened chicken flautas. These are like fried dough filled mini burritos stuffed with meat and cheese topped with lettuce and tomatoes. It comes with like a queso dipping sauce and guacamole. The queso is very very cheesy tasting. Hard to describe but u get the drift. He tore it up. Lol We didn't get it this visit but the deep fried cookie dough filled flautas are delicious! Great price too! Service: the staff is very very friendly. They are always available asking you if u need anything. Bring a jacket bc it can get chilly in there. The place seemed really clean. We'll be back.

    That is a lotta guacamole!

    The customer service is what makes this Tijuana Flats stand out. It happens from the minute you walk in, where you are greeted by someone who gives you the rundown on how their menu works, to the manager coming around near the end of your meal to make sure everything is delicious and going well at your table. Ordering is three steps: 1) Choose your Entree 2) Choose your Meat 3) Choose your Toppings Everything is made to order & nothing is frozen or microwaved. There are "specials". On Tijuana Tuesdaze: 2 Tacos, Chips & a Drink. On Throwback Thursday's: A Burrito, Chips & Drink. Both specials are 5.99. Of course, there are nachos, quesadillas, salads and more to choose from. For my Quesadilla I chose Blackened Chicken, Chips and a Drink for $7.79. I thought the price point was a little high for what you get. You can also add rice & beans to that for more. My chicken was of good quality, but the blackening wasn't that sharp bite of heat I expect and the quesadilla itself had too little chicken. My friend had the Crispy Baja Street Fish Tacos. The fish was not up to high standards. Basically, it wasn't fresh. The manager noticed her plate wasn't touched and was very nice about it. Not only did he offer to comp her meal, when he returned her money, he also brought her a 'gratis' warm Dessert Flautas to take home. You can't get customer service any better than that. I would go back to try other things on the menu. Perhaps the specials are the way to go next time. 76/100

    Really good food and quick service and all sorts of hot sauces and such. I love the murals inside the restaurant. Usually pretty quiet but sometimes can be pretty busy.

    All salty and bad food!!!!!
    Quocson T.

    Wow, what can I say? Nothing but salty foods, stale chips. Not a single dish that's decent, I could have gotten better food from Taco Bell's. Paid $96.37 before tax and tips for these so called "foods" is just sad! How can they stayed in business? Please please stay away from this, eat any where else but here!!!

    Chips and queso. Way more than two people can finish.

    Los Chapos Tacos - Brandon, FL…read more I've been on a serious hunt for truly authentic Mexican food in the Brandon/Tampa area for years, and this little hole-in-the-wall next to the HCA hospital absolutely nailed it. I ordered the Al Pastor burrito -- twice in one week -- specifically to test consistency. Both visits were outstanding. The flavors were vibrant and clean: fresh pineapple, bright cilantro, perfectly seasoned meat, and you could even pick up subtle notes of cinnamon. Everything tasted fresh, balanced, and genuinely authentic, not over-processed or masked with heavy sauces. What really stood out was the care. The staff checked on me while I was eating, genuinely wanting to make sure everything was right. It felt less like a restaurant and more like being in someone's kitchen -- that comforting "grandma making sure you're fed right" kind of energy. Warm, welcoming, and personal. I've traveled extensively in Mexico and lived in Florida for years trying to find a place that hits the mark for real Mexican flavor -- and this place absolutely delivers. Hands down, this is the best Mexican food I've found in this area in a long time. If you're anywhere near Brandon and love authentic Mexican food, do yourself a favor and stop here. You won't regret it.

Even being a local though, I'd certainly visit this restaurant. It sits right on the marina with views all the way around. Unfortunately for us it was raining during our visit, so we weren't able to get a taste of their vast rooftop. Looks like something to be enjoyed though! Here you'll find Mexican-fusion type eats. Which was lucky for me because that's my fave and we went on my birthday! I opted for a spicy marg, which was on happy hour special, and that hit the spot. Love when they do a tahin rim. As for food, my husband and I split the ceviche (holy sh*t was that refreshing and amazing I'd order again 10/10), and some fish tacos (also very good). As for dessert, my one bday request was key lime pie and this place delivered that request! Titled the 'margarita key lime pie,' it's infused with with reposado infused lime. An absolute delight! Our server was so sweet, the vibe was good, and we'd definitely give it an overall thumbs up.

Service was great, which I had issues with in many places around here. Drinks were delicious and strong and food was amazing. The ceviche serving was huge for $7 and super fresh and delicious. The coconut shrimp were also great! This will definitely be a go to if I come back to Clearwater!! I highly recommend

Our oldest son couldn't stop getting out of his chair and dancing! I ordered a delicious horchata drink and the three taco combo so I could sample several of the tacos on the menu. I ordered the carne asada, carnita, and pastor. They were all very good and I loved the purple corn tortillas. The portions were large enough that I think I would only order two next time. My husband's birria tacos were huge, messy and delicious. I'm embarrassed to say that my boys aren't huge fans of Mexican food other than chips and guac or salsa or queso. I don't know if it's the seasoning and the combination of textures and flavors that they resist. Unfortunately there are no alternatives for picky kids since the kid's menu is quesadillas, enchiladas, and tacos. We convinced my oldest to order a chicken quesadilla and he ate about half of it, but my stubborn youngest son just at chips and guac for dinner. Will be back to force my kids to try more of the menu because I am determined for them to expand their palates!
