    Heavily salted chips.
    Loke K.

    Haven't been here in a long time. Food quality keeps going down. Tonight I got the taco special, one chicken and one ground beef taco. The beef was so greasy that the grease was all over the tray and the chicken taco was wet and made the hard shell useless. The chips on the plate were so greasy I didn't even attempt to eat one. I told 2 people about the chips and no one offered me some fresh chips. I asked that my to go chips do not look like the ones served with the meal...Good news is they were not greasy. Bad news is they are so heavily covered in salt you have to brush off every chip to eat them. Disappointing visit to this location. I give it a one taco rating!

    If you like small, cold, bland, flavorless burritos then this is for you

    This was just all bad. I got to curbside and had to call to have my food brought out. I drove away before checking it and realized they forgot half my order so I went back. They gave me an extra bag of chips which was nice but they were so stale I just threw them out. The salsa was flavorless and had a weird after taste to it. Like it was full of preservative. The guac is out of a can. It's nasty. The cheese sauce is also processed fake cheese out of a can and it wasn't even hot. And the burrito was a whole Nother catastrophe. The tortilla was ice cold as soon as I picked it up and so is everything that was inside of it. At the bottom of the burrito were about 10 slices of jalapeños which I was OK with until I bit into them and realize that they didn't have any spice to them. So I'm assuming that those aren't freshly cut either. I don't think that I'll ever go back to Tijuana Flats again. I hate to say it but I think that Taco Bell has a better shot at getting my money for a burrito in the near future

    This is not the best place for authentic Mexican cuisine.... but what really is anymore.. The parking is great as it's in its own lot! The staff are awesome all the time! Now... I had the Cheeseburger tacos. Holy Holy tacos they were!! Cheeseburger Taco with traditional Tex-Mex flair! classic Americana influence that includes pickles, ketchup, and mustard! This think tastes like a cheeseburger on a crispy bun. It was one of the best tacos I have had! The fries are your standard fair but good none the less... especially dipped in queso! Go and try it before it's gone!

    Hot sauce bar...my favorite part :-)

    Ok no this not gourmet but it's also not fast food like taco bell but it's still good. I guess it's in the category of Chipolte grill or Moes grill, just a step above fast food. I might be a little biased because I'm a condiment girl, especially things that are hot...yup I liiike it hot! That being said they have a hot sauce in every Tijuana flat. So of course, that's a highlight for me. I do think they need to have little pencils and cards out so you mark the hot sauce you like so next time you know which one to get, kind of like a wine tasting but with a burn instead of a buzz.. I don't go to Tjuanna flats often but when I have been then I will tell you they are top of making sure the customers are happy. They greet you at the door, they come by your table to check on and are very friendly. On this visit they were cleaning the bottoms of the table, which is nice to see that they keep that place clean. Also the cashier was very nice and helpful. On to the food, I ordered chips and salsa ,the chips were hot but I'm not a big fan or their salsa, it was ok. I also ordered the chicken soft tacos power lite with the beans and rice. I've never had the beans and rice but they were really good. The only thing that I would say they could improve on, is to serve the chicken soft tacos hot. They are lukewarm and I would like the cheese to melt a little and it too be hot other then that it;s decent food.

    Kids meal and dos chicken tacos

    The food is decent at the very best. The kids meal was pathetic. My tacos tasted very old!

I joined a group for a birthday celebration. My friends ordered house margaritas that they all enjoyed. I know a taco salad, chorizo tacos and a beef brisket were ordered. Everyone loved their meals and they were each hearty in size. I wasn't real hungry and ordered a side salad with Jalepeno ranch and lime vinaigrette on the side. The lime vinaigrette was awesome! The salad was really big and fresh for $4.25. I would go back just for that.

The obligatory chips and salsa were very good and we ordered the queso which was also very good. Then the main course food arrived. The only saving grace was that the rice and black beans were very tasty and not spicy. I ordered the number 3 combination. The beef hard taco was good, however the enchiladas were so spicy that I couldn't eat them. Some type of terrible green sauce made them so hot I almost gagged. Tex mex should be spiced after serving, in my opinion, not during cooking. Traditional Mexican food is not super hot. This was so spicy it burned my throat and I sent them back after powering through.

Service was slow, and the pricing is absurd for what you get. Two street tacos ran almost $15 each taco was basically just a shell with a finger's-length portion of shredded protein, nothing else. The shredded pork and brisket tasted dry and bland, like they'd been sitting in a warmer for hours. On top of that, the sides are a joke: almost $4 for a tiny, maybe four-bite portion of rice or refried beans, and they even charge extra for sour cream. The rice was cold and under-seasoned, the beans tasted straight out of a can, and there's no lettuce, no pico de gallo, no real options. When I asked about swapping in black beans instead of refried, I was told they simply don't offer that. At these prices, you're paying for the downtown St. Pete location, not the food. This felt like a scam -- tiny portions, upcharges on everything, and food quality that reminded me of something you'd get in prison. I've lived in this area my whole life and won't be recommending this place to anyone, especially tourists in the summer. Given that the previous original red Mesa restaurant here didn't survive either, and that got shut down I understand why.

We ordered the chip trio, 2 tacos, and a burrito. The queso was fantastic, the guac was decent, the salsa was very smokey which is a personal preference if you like that flavor or not.

We wanted to eat something that would be filling, comforting, grab a few drinks but not necessarily need a whole sit down experience. So we stumbled upon Casita Taqueria. Thanks to the other awesome reviews, we knew this was the place to go! It literally feels like a casita when you walk in. They have lots of outdoor seating, picnic tables and such. Inside had a bit less seating (especially when it's raining and most of the people want to stay indoors). Either way, we found a table for 5 in no time. The ordering is easy, you go up to the register, order what you want and then they bring the food to you. No servers no waiters just easy. Highly recommend ordering a pitcher of margarita, we got the spicy jalapeño one and it was so refreshing! The food was delicious, freshly made, quick, and perfect for a lunch break. We got the tempeh nachos, rice and beans bowl, chips guac and salsa plus everything else the rest of our table got. We left full and our hearts happy! The ONLY THING I wish I would see was a super spicy house sauce. Which btw, they have a little fridge of their house made sauces for you to grab and enjoy. I just WISH there was a spicy one, the sweet one was pretty good!
