We just got take out. The food was cold and we live less than a half mile from the place. The burrito tortilla was too stiff for my taste, like it hadn't been warmed to soften it up at all. The insides were cold. The cheese dip was that nasty bright yellow nacho stuff you get at sporting events. The mixture of ingredients was gross, but that's my fault because I chose them. My husband can make a burrito at home that is 100x better, so why even bother? read more

This could be the solution to local mexican restaurants who serve the same menu and no taste variety. My husband and I visited Tijuana Flats on friday night and despite the rave I heard it was empty. All the better since we've never had better service at an order-and-sit place. For being our 1st time there we got a free basket of chips and an intro to their "salsa" bar. The food looked VERY fresh and tasted great without oozing fats or saltiness. The price was decent so about what we'd spend at a regular sit-down mexican restairant ($20 for 2). I was disappointed with what they are calling a "sangria" because it was just red wine and sprite, but for $3 its a refreshing cooler. As far as their famed "salsa" bar I'm not sure its their highlight since we found most sauces to seem like stuff you'd cook with or marinate with not necessarily stuff I'd put on nachos. But, the bottom line here was that the food was FRESH and tasty. The atmosphere is somewhat eclectic and artsy...dont forget to look around at the ceiling and at the funny stickers in odd places. Enjoy. read more

So-so tex-mex, lots of different sauces, but the food wasn't too interesting.

It's bad enough when you don't listen to my order and add jalepenos and onions when I said exclude them, but then the food tastes bland with rubbery cheese. Stick with Moe's. read more

Fresh ingredients in my chimi, the tomato salsa is super, unfortunately beans were a bit chilly. Service is outstanding.

The cookie dough flautas are probably my favorite dessert of all time!

Came to town for a wedding and we were looking for a little Tex-Mex for lunch. Wow! What a positive surprise! We were greeted at the door by a very friendly staff who offered us drinks and a table. The staff was very friendly and worked hard to do a good job. I ordered the quesadilla which was a large portion size and very good. My son ordered a burrito which was huge and my wife a taco salad. We loved the salsa bar where they had every hot sauce imaginable. I would give them 5 stars except to order you have to stand at the counter. They do serve you your food but I am personally not a fan of counter service, it just feels too fast food for me. We would for sure go back if we were n town again! read more

Great food with even better service. The best blackened chicken tacos in town.

We have backed off of TF lately for a couple of reasons. The food quality seems to have dropped, and when we walk into the restaurant, it smells greasy and less than clean. I am not sure what is going on, but the first thing I notice about a location is how it smells. You should only smell good, fresh food odors. The last three times we went in to the Mahan location, it smelled of old grease and the tables were not particularly clean. Food was all right, but my refried beans were not piping hot, in fact they were tepid. I prefer my beans to be hot. I had a single taco, and the meat had a good deal of grease dripping out of it, which is an issue for me. I know that some fat gives food flavor, but this needed a lot more draining before it was put on the shell. Another thing we have noticed is the very frequent turnover of managers at this location. This being a college town, we expect to see turnover of serving staff, but management less so, unless they make a habit of rapidly promoting talent. Since there are only two locations in Tally, I'm not so sure about the promotion theory. Still looking for consistently good Tex-Mex in Tallytown. read more

Just happened to look in this mall and found a Mexican restaurant. The burritos we got were so big and DELICIOUS that we had enough to take home for dinner! A bit pricey, but for 2 meals each, who's complaining? We'll definitely be back! Nice staff, too. read more

I was really bothered by my first meal from Tijuana Flats, which was visit for lunch take out. Perhaps my expectations were wrong, but I thought the place would be like Qdoba or Moe's. While the menu was similar, the food was simply mediocre. Mediocre like I could I have gone to publix, bought most basic of ingredients and made a better quesadilla at home. The 'meal' of a sad looking quesadilla was accompanied by sides of greasy black beans, dry rice, and over-iced soda. At nearly 10$, the meal left me both disgusted and hungry for something else. While TF is local to me and convenient for a quick tex-mex fix, I will not be returning, and instead would rather make the drive towards other options. read more

I first tried Tijuana Flats in Orlando, and have been hooked ever since. They offer a good selection of fresh items. They also have wheat tortillas which is not only healthy but good to eat. To me it is a step above Moe's or Qdoba. Staff is always friendly and helpful, and the prices are decent. Nice place to grab a cheap bite to eat, and hang out for awhile. read more

Not bad at all. The staff is very helpful and the menu is extensive. We ordered steak tacos a steak burrito and and queso. All were very good. It's not fine dining but much better than the alternatives. Great for office take-out read more

Definitely has great food, that's fresh and filling. The customer service could be a little bit better, but the food makes it all worthwhile! The restuarant has a nice laid back, yet eclectic feel to it. Very ideal for a college town! read more

Tijuana Flats is not the place to go for authentic Mexican fare. It's fast casual Tex Mex food, similar to Moe's or Qdobas, but with a little more variety. The hot sauce bar has something for everyone, and I am in love with the black bean flautas on whole wheat tortillas, served all the way with sour cream, guacamole, queso and veggies. There is something about the lightly crunchy texture of the fried tortillas that makes it a totally addictive treat. read more
