Tijuana Flats

Awful — as with other reviews — the SLOWEST TJ Flats ever. Do not come here. Take a few extra minutes & go to the TJ Flats in Boynton on Federal. You will actually save time. They have a manager that works there. Apparently not here. 40+ minutes is ridiculous to wait even when it’s busy. $ 2 taco night if you send out a promotion alert your staff and plan accordingly.
I wondered why I was warned not to come to this location. I mean. I order black bean tacos. Takes 3 min to make!

Picking up lunch for take out. Place is nice. Good vibe. Fun. Food is good. Ate here before for dinner. Crowd is mixed. That’s Boynton for you. Young and old. Staff is friendly.

Being from Texas, this is the closest tex-​mex I have found. I recommend their quest and chips, desserts and the chimichanga! The environment is hip and fun, a great place to hang out with your friends. They also serve beer.

Tucked away in the most inconvenient shopping center to get in and out of, this Tijuana Flats is also painfully slow. I ordered 2 tacos in the middle of the afternoon, and maybe 3 people were there already eating. It took 20 minutes for my food to be ready. So, unless you want to fight traffic to wait nearly half an hour for tacos, maybe you should go elsewhere. I haven’t even eaten the food yet, but I will never be back. With Moes and Chipotle in walking distance, I’m not bothering to make the effort for your slow service.
Update: I just finished my meal. I ordered the 2 tacos and chips. The chips were crunchy, the hard shell was stale. My steak at $ 1 extra, was hard, dry, and sparsely placed. This is very average Mexican food, akin to what you would find out of the back of a food truck.
So, to recap:
If you would like to fight traffic to then be served stale shell tacos, with dried out, overcooked meat, slowly… then you go for it! You must really like to be disappointed! Perhaps the other locations are good, as I’ve heard great things about Tijuana Flats, but this location sucks for a variety of reasons. I’d suggest spending your money at one of the other 3 Mexican restaurants on that block of Congress.

My wife and I have been eating here ever since this location opened up. The staff is very friendly the place is very clean and the food is always hot and fresh. We really like this place. You cannot beat the Taco Tuesday or burrito Thursday specials. This location has quickly become my wife and my favorite place to eat.
