    Chips and salsa
    Roger Renzo R.

    I stopped here for a quick dinner snack. The first thing I noticed was that the place was quite loud, and that made it harder for the cashier to take my order and name. I ordered the chip with salsa. The chips were warm and had a good amount of salt (I like them salty, so no complaints), but the salsa did not have flavor. Fortunately, they have free spicy sauces in the restaurant. I tried the Habanero Hot Sauce, and it really improved the flavor of my salsa. Overall, it's good for the price.

    Disgusting old incomplete dos fish tacos

    One of the worst experiences at this location! Ordered pickup and spent a few dollars shy of 50 bucks for my husband and I. I ordered the fish tacos and he ordered the chicken tacos. My tacos were literally thrown into the box, soaking wet cold fish, soaking wet tortillas and no sauce on tacos. Absolutely disgusting and no care at all from whoever prepared it and packed it. My husband had 2 small pieces of chicken in his entire 2 tacos and his tortilla shells were torn apart and soaking wet. We used to order from here regularly but never again. We will never ever spend a cent here again. This location just wants your money and doesn't want to give you an actual meal you can eat or enjoy. I want my money back! Contacted the email address that you gave Zoe B. And no one contacted me whatsoever. Horrible customer service, horrible food. We regularly spent money here but will never again nor any other tijuana flats. You can't charge 50 bucks for swill and garbage. We work hard for our money and you people have no care or pride or quality in what your serving for food!

    We have been to many Tijuana Flats. Disappointed in this location in Winter Haven. We ordered the garlic lime steak bowl, burrito with steak, kids chicken fingers, and a side of the dueling quesos. My kids chicken fingers did not come with apple sauce and two or three chips with her meal. My wife had the steak bowl. She felt it was spicy to be spicy, not for flavor. Rice was bland (boiled down, no flavor). Size of the portion was decent. Good amount of steak. Overall, so so My steak burrito was good. Jalapeños add a punch. Dueling quesos were good. Orange is more of a Tex mex and white is more of an original queso. I prefer the white queso. We had burnt chips. Yes, you read this correctly. Burnt chips. At least 10-12 in our bag. Not impressed Not impressed with the customer service. No one acknowledged us when we came in. We decided to get our sauces first. Was impressed with the Togo sauce containers. They were sturdy and solid. Overall, we don't think we'll be back at this location, but, will be back at a different venue.

    Chips & Salsa
    Dimple S.

    Tasty and fast service. Fresh chips, chicken bowl, even the nuggets were chicken breast. The place is clean and a hot spot after Legoland. Love the atom bombs but wish there was more filling. The chimichanga was good and filling. Wouldn't drive out of the way to this place but was better than Taco Bell.

    The finest, cleanest and best organized Sauce Bar I have ever seen! Very clear signage.
    Steven B.

    It's all about expectations and these guys met mine in spades for fast-casual Tex Mex in a vibrant environment! Customer Service- My customer service was dope! That's not a word I usually use but that's the word my cashier used when she told me how great my experience was going to be! She was incredible, and it was impossible not to smile when dealing with her. Atmosphere- There really is only one word, vibrant. Huge in your face colors and graphics. It just feels like this is a place to have a good time. Food- Standard Tex Mex fare with no real surprises. You can get your tacos just about any way you want. I ordered a Beef Taco Duo with hard shells for less than $8. I was hungry, so I added an extra taco for $3. This was a giant mistake because they asked me if I was a first timer. If you say yes, this triggers a huge free tray of warm tortilla chips and chunky salsa. That's a nice touch! Adult Libations- A bunch of beers in draft and bottle. Sauce Bar- So my food was out very quickly and during my very short wait I was eying the Sauce Bar. It looked amazing. It was spotlessly clean, had a vast variety and was very well organized and signed. The sauces start with the milds on the left and as you move right that is where death resides. As I had three tacos a filled three little cups, and each was perfect for one taco. I have news for you. If you want blood coming out of your orifices, try the sauce on the far right. Trust me, I know these things! So my tacos were great and very fresh. I enjoyed everyone. The last one caused my orifices to leak a bit, but the staff was great at cleaning everything up! So my fellow Yelpers have nailed this place with a solid four stars for several years and they deserve it! Expect fresh and clean and inexpensive but watch out for your orifices!

The chicken nachos and chorizo queso were great starters. I ordered the Ginger margarita based on the raving reviews by my co-workers, even though it was not a special. And, it did not disappoint! Our bartender was fantastic and kept all of our orders straight. The hostess walked us upstairs to our reserved table for 10. The view across the restaurant was grand, but lively atmosphere and the high ceilings contributed to the challenge of carrying on a conversation. I could only talk with those who were seated close by. Shane was our server for the night, engaged with us, and kept the drinks flowing. We ordered a number of Deluxe fajita platters with massive amounts of steak and chicken. Both meats were grilled and seasoned perfectly. Copious amounts of tortillas and the fajita fixins. I really enjoyed the charred jalapeño and mushrooms. I ordered the chicken Al Carbón tacos, and enjoyed the complementary flavors of the smoked onions and the salsa cremosa. With both of these great tasing dishes, I wished I had a larger stomach! NOTES Outside seating is available (for nicer weather) and there's plenty of parking. The only downside of the night? The food took a long time to get to our table.

Like something to be shared. They have posters about live music but we were there mid afternoon. Over all a good find.

    I visited on two consecutive nights and had vastly different experiences…read more On the first visit, I dined in and was immediately acknowledged by our server, who was attentive throughout the meal, frequently checking on my drink and ensuring we were comfortable. Even when we accidentally stayed past closing time, she politely informed us without making us feel rushed. The food itself was decent--not exceptional, but very reasonable for the price. The second day, I opted for takeout and had a completely different experience. I walked in and sat at the same table, but no one acknowledged me for about 15-20 minutes, despite there being only one other occupied table in the restaurant. Just as I was about to leave and find another place to eat, a server rushed over to apologize for the delay. When my order was ready, a different employee was about to mistakenly give it to another table. When he offered it to me and I inquired about the order to make sure it was mine, he admitted he wasn't sure and had to check. A few minutes later, yet another person simply asked if I had ordered takeout and handed me the bag. At this point, I waited another 5-10 minutes just to pay. When the original server finally returned, he asked if I had checked the contents of the bag--a strange question, considering it should be their responsibility to ensure accuracy. I took the server's question at face value, but it's very possible that they were being sarcastic. At that point, it didn't matter what was in the bag. I had to leave to go work. Again, the food was acceptable. However, it was not worth the wait and hassle. Though the first visit was fine, the poor service the very next day was remarkable. To make things worse, the restaurant didn't even include utensils in the bag. It's well apparent that some of the staff could benefit from training. When reviewing restaurants on Yelp, I think it's important to set fair expectations based on the type of establishment. This place seems geared towards a lively atmosphere, so I adjusted my expectations accordingly. However, even considering the dining category, certain standards should still be met Lastly, a restaurant that is capable of providing such subpar service probably shouldn't prompt for a minimum 25% tip on takeout orders at their credit card terminal. That was laughable and I am at least grateful for having a good laugh on the way out.

However, since we've had my son, we're not in the area as much so we don't come as often, but we were at icon Park today and this seemed like the perfect place to take the rest of my family. It was an absolute hit! Grandma yelled at me for holding out on her! Why haven't you brought me here before? She had the agave chipotle queso chicken enchiladas. It was our servers recommendation and they were absolutely delicious. I had the birria appetizer and it was excellent. It was an appetizer, but it was so large. We couldn't eat it all and it could definitely be a meal if you wanted it to be. The absolute best thing is the kids menu. My son loves chips and queso so much. Queso dip is one of the sides you can get with the kids meal. How amazing is that? We go to some Mexican restaurants and I spend more on queso for this child than I do on a meal for him or even myself. He had the cheese quesadilla with queso and rice as sides. After lunch, I asked him if we could come back here and he said oh yes! My son ate most of his meal, but grandma and I both ended up taking to go boxes. I feel like the prices are pretty reasonable, especially the kids meal and for the portions they give you even for the adult meals. Our server was absolutely wonderful. She brought out fresh chips and salsa almost immediately, and as soon as our chips started to run low, she immediately replaced them. As soon as we ordered, I asked if she could bring my son's queso first and she gladly obliged. It was a very hot day and she kept our drinks full. We will definitely be back.

We ordered the carnitas tacos, fresh guacamole, three house tequila shots, and a beer. While the food was okay, the portions were surprisingly small (barely any meat or avocado or rice) and didn't come close to justifying the cost. The guacamole was fresh, but overall the meal felt overpriced from start to finish. The biggest shock was the bill. We spent $67 for just one entrée, three house tequila shots, and one beer, which is hard to justify given the portion sizes and overall quality. The house tequila shots alone were $12.50 each, which felt excessive for house liquor. Service was also disappointing. Even before the restaurant became busy, everything moved slowly. To make matters worse, our server accidentally mixed up our receipt and initially charged us for another table's food. It created a lot of unnecessary confusion, and what bothered me most was that the mistake was handled rather casually. There wasn't much urgency or concern despite it being a significant billing error. The restaurant itself has a nice, modern atmosphere with comfortable booths, so I'll give credit where it's due. Unfortunately, the ambiance wasn't enough to make up for the overpriced food, small portions, slow service, and billing issues. Overall, I left feeling like I paid far more than the experience was worth. There are plenty of Mexican restaurants in Orlando that offer larger portions, better service, and much better value for the money. I won't be returning.
