Tijuana Flats

The employees here are very nice, but the food is terrible. I’m sorry, but I could not even finish the meal.

Love Tijuana Flats. Go on Taco Tuesday or Burrito day and save a few bucks. Better option than taco bell and they have beer!

Not the nicest of their locations nor is it the biggest. The cleanest of it as well leaves you kind of that dive bar/​restaurant feeling. The ashtrays outside allowing smoking is truly a sad and bad touch. The seating is limited and you had smokers to the sitting you do have outside kind of ruins it. The graffiti outside as well as the green sidewalk kind of adds to the lack of caring it seems to it. The broken lamps are a nice touch as well. If you can find a seat sit inside.
Great you took drink orders while waiting but a cover and a stray would be greatly appreciated as you stand waiting to order and try to balance it while paying can be a challenge at times
The food is good. Love the hot sauce bar and the refills. The services is good as well. And attentive. Just wish it went to appearance as well.

Eaten here MANY times and when we went for Veterans Day, my meal was free (retired Navy) but my wife’s was also free. We did pay for our 3 year old though. We have had nothing but good tasty food and friendly service EVERY time. And they know us now.

My husband and I love coming here especially on Free Beer WED nights. We love the food, service. The girls that work there! Most of the time that atmosphere. Our last visit (not the Flats fault) there was an extremely large group there it was very loud in there and not a lot of room for the regulars. But we held out and were finally able to enjoy our food and beer. Our son loves the burritos. This is a great spot. Love the the Hot Sauce Bar.

I’d like to give it 1.5 stars but it won’t let me.
Ok this has to be the weirdest burrito place I’ve been to thus far. I walked in and was greeted by a waitress asking what I’d like to drink while I’m standing there, I kindly tell her its my first time and ask how does this work, she hands me a huge menu and I give her my drink order while I look over the menu standing up in what is supposed to be an ordering line (lunch time nobody in front of me though at this time), about a minute later she comes back with my drink with no lid and I’m there with a menu in one hand and an open drink in the other as I stand in line… odd.
I go to the next cashier, give my order steak burrito she asks if I want the large? ok (I don’t see any of this on the menu but whatever I’m hungry). sure. comes with chips but no salsa but seeing its my first time they give me salsa (I guess if you have been there more than once no salsa for you haha). Nearly $ 13 for a steak burrito, chips no salsa and a soda… overpriced it you ask me but whatever the waitress said it was full service once you order so I guess thats the premium you pay.
Sit down at a booth, most uncomfortable booth seats ever, like they had no cushioning in parts so they were lumpy as hell… wtf? Whatever I’m gonna try and enjoy myself so I read over the little table literature about the story of tijuana flats & its owner while I wait for my food, I hear my name and have to wave over a different waitress… again odd, maybe a number card system would work better, I dunno but just odd.
Food was ok, burrito was ok, chips were pretty good, salsa was crap, no flavor, tasted like canned stewed tomato’s for the most part to be honest.
They have a hot sauce bar with like 20 flavors, I went for the mild and was like duck sauce from a chinese restaurant with a little (and I mean little kick).
I was there for about 10 mins after getting my food, wasn’t once checked in on, so full service it is not.
Definitely not worth the $ 13, why would you tip if its not truely full service? I always try to scope out places like this before bringing my wife & 3 kids, we won’t be going there anytime soon, its a shame as its so close I wanted to have a nice lunch joint.

The food is always hot and fresh at this location. They greet your as you enter. Their salsa is a hot and miss. Beer could be colder; however, they have free beer Wednesday. … Who can complain about that? ???

This is a nice quick service place to eat. I just moved to town, and my boyfriend made me take a whole day off from eating here recently! LOL! I’ve read the other reviews, and my best guess is consistency of portions has improved as I know exactly what I’m getting, right down to 3 – 4 jalapeños on my taco. I’m definitely a regular here. The sangria is also very good!
Restaurant and restroom is clean, staff is super friendly and attentive. The booths do need to be replaced as all the «spring» is out of the seats. The door to the ladies restroom is sprung WAY too tight, so be careful when using the door, it smashed my wrist and left a nasty bruise. :-(
I do hope they allow online ordering soon… They are one of the few locations that don’t do this. And it would be nice if they could remove some of the stop signs in their parking lot — I refer to it as «the land of 10,000 stop signs.»

I questioned whether to give them 1 or 2 stars. I also questioned whether or not I got food poisoning. I guess it’s authentic Mexican when you have the non stop runs after eating it – Jjst doesn’t taste as good. Won’t be back… EVER

I may be a bit biased seeing as I recently moved here from Arizona which is home to some of the best Mexican food outside of Mexico, but I have to admit I was a bit disappointed with Tijuana Flats. I’ve had better Mexican at Chipotle. It’s very Americanized Mexican like what you would expect from a Taco Bell. I give it 3 stars for its friendly, fast service, and the chips and cheese dip, but I won’t be returning any time soon.

Saw the good reviews from others so thought we would give it a try. Wife’s fish tacos were ok, but my banging chicken burrito was dry and lacked flavor. Too high priced for what u get. Even charged extra for chips… salsa was fresh but bland. Looks like they are shooting for a Moes knockoff but fall way short. Not a good first impression from food taste.
Staff was pleasant and dining area appeared clean.

The service here is great. They always make sure your drink is full.
The two stars is because of the inconsistently of their food. We go there on Tuesday for Taco Tuesday’s. Each week the food portions change. This week I had full tacos and not a lot of chips. Last week I had tons of chips and skimpy tacos. When we asked the manager why some weeks the tacos are full of ingredients and some weeks they are not he said that it was because they tell their cooks to make it like they would want it. This seems odd to me and would be the reason that the food is very inconsistent.

Very friendly service but the quality of the food has def gone down by 70% or more. This place is very inconsistent sometimes the tacos are full sometimes they are empty. Check out Taco Tuesday. Any other day is not worth going to.

Very disappointed. I feel like I just paid for jumped-​up Taco Bell with out the flavor. I should have known better. On the bright side, the curry sauce was tasty.

Great Quick Tex Mex and cold beer. Love the Beef Flautas. So good.

The waitstaff seems to be on some form of uppers, but as I usually get takeout it doesn’t bother me as much as it does other reviewers. The food is fresh and flavorful an best of all, cheap. Great place for a last minute weeknight meal.

I have always received outstanding service at this location. The food is always good; Tuesday and Thursday are great days to go. They have Taco Tuesday and Throwback Thursday (burrito combo for $ 5). They have good sauces at their hot bar, though only one super-​hot and it’s the least tasty (plain Ghost sauce; the Red Ghost is the ultra hot one that has a good flavor).
I usually go on Thursdays and get a chicken+bean burrito served wet with chioptle red sauce on it. Delicious and filling.
The staff will deliver your food as well as get you refils on your drinks. They’ve always been friendly and smiling. I’ll be a regular here.

Went here for Taco Tuesday.
+Two tacos, chips and a drink for $ 5 — you can’t beat that!
+ fun atmosphere and quick service.

We stopped here for lunch on our way through town. My brother lives in the area, and he recommended this restaurant to us.
We visited around 1:30 in the afternoon on a Friday. It seemed to be a mix of family diners and professionals on their lunch hour. It wasn’t too busy, and we were very pleased with the speed and quality of the food. My son has an allergy to milk, and they were very accommodating of our special ordering requests. The servings were very generous without being too much to eat. We enjoyed sampling salsas from their salsa bar, and the salsas were a great match for their fresh, warm chips. The quesadillas, flautas, chimichanga, and fajitas that we ordered were all excellent. The restrooms were clean and well-​stocked. (I think that restroom quality can say a lot about how a business is being run).
It’s worth a stop if you are traveling through town. If you are a local, it’s worth more than one stop. I only wish we had a Tijuana Flats near home so that I could get those delicious flautas whenever I want!

Yum! It had been a while since I had visited a Tijuana Flats and this was the first time to this location. It was late on a Friday and there weren’t too many people in the restaurant. The staff was friendly and the place was nice and colorful and clean.
Tijuana Flats has LOTS of different specials on different nights including kids eat free night (it was Tues. or Sun.) and a beer special night (Wed. I think) and even a local heros discount night that includes teachers, firefighters, police and more. Call for all those details!
Ah, the food… great stuff and the hot sauce bar is wonderful. There are 10 — 15 different choices in varying levels of heat. I love the sweet and spicy and it’s good on everything. Both my daughter and a friend had the chimichangas in steak, chicken and black bean varieties and they loved them. I had the spinach and artichoke quesadillia which was like dip smeared on tortillias and was too soggy to pick up. I’ll try something else next time. But I will be going back!
