Tijuana Flats

This place is one of a kind. Very good food, that doesn’t break the bank. Very cozy. fun loving staff. Was out visiting family for the weekend, and told one of the service women that it was hot down here and i wasn’t used to it. She asked where was i from? I said Alaska!!! We just laughed. I had the Chicken Nachos. I felt like a fat kid once i was finished eating. So good. Thank you for a great first time. I will be back on my next trip. You guys just found a new customer.

Ever since we arrived in the area, friends, family, and coworkers have raved about this place. After finally getting in to give it a try, i must admit, I see what the hype is about.
The food is delicious. All the ingredients taste fresh, and the portions are huge! I love the hot sauce bar too. The staff was super friendly and helpful. This will definitely be one of our go-​to now.

I guess people in Fl or in the south, cause I’ve lived in other southern states, don’t know what good food is. I went here with my wife and the food wasn’t good at all. I would never go back to this dump!

Always, always a pleasant experience at this location! I eat at Tijuana Flats all over Orlando and always have a good experience, but there is something unique about this location in particular. The staff is extremely friendly, attentive, and willing to make all guest experiences a positive one. The restaurant is clean and organized. There was ONE visit in the last 2+ years that my burrito wasn’t warmed all the way through (sour cream, etc may have cooled the other ingredients) which has never happened before, and I didn’t notice until I got back to work to eat it. I called to let them know and they gave me my next meal completely free. The manager came out to greet me personally and apologize for the inconvenience. I understand that mistakes happen, but what matters more than that is how an establishment handles the mistake. In this case, they went above and beyond what I would’ve expected.
I look forward to my lunches here… they really have something special going on. I have yet to eat at another Tijuana Flats that meets/​exceeds the standards set by this location.

Amazing service! Staff here is so friendly and helpful. The food is great, and always fresh. We will be regulars.

Decent food. Poor service. This location I’ve noticed always looks poorly kept and unclean. Found a hair in my salsa as well. Not returning.

SO bad.
Ordered a very basic meal: bean burrito, chips and salsa.
The beans very obviously came from a can, and had dried spices added, and the chips had a vague dust scent to them.
Based on the food, I would have to say the great reviews from others who have never actually had Mexican food, or were somehow remunerated to produce positive feedback.
I would be remiss, however, to not make note of the staff, who was quite friendly and knowledgeable. That said, if you’ve been exposed to legitimate Mexican food (from ANY of the regions), avoid Tijuana Flats like the plague.

I have ate here multiple times and never had any bad experiences!
Living on a budget, this place is the best spot for lunch/​dinner! They have a hot sauce bar where you can fill «small» cups of hot sauce and pour over your taco, or chips! One free cup is good for one taco! They have multiple hot sauces you can sample for purchase!
I did purchase my favorite sauce, and found out it to be asian and I can go to an asian market to buy it! I didn’t feel ripped off at all though, because they were decently priced!
SO for the PROS and CONS!
Pros:
— Great food
— Great service
— Family Friendly
— Fast and excellent service
— Great prices!
— Friendly Staff
— Clean
CONS:
— None so far in my 7 visits!
Happy hour is a great deal! They no longer do $ 2.00 drafts for happy hour! But sangrias are always a great choice! This place is a walk up and order spot, but has sit-​down seating! They bus your trays of food when you’re done, so tipping is recommended.
OVERALL:
This is a gem of a place to eat that I have found by a whim. Great prices, great food, and I bring all my friends from out of town to eat here for lunch or dinner and no one complained yet! Enjoy!

Super tasty quesadilla and salsa. Hit the spot for dinner. Although the noodle joint next store was super packed and over flowing in front of Tijuana Flats… I am happy with our decision for dinner. If I am ever in town again I may swing in…

Stopped in on a recommendation from a friend who lives here. The environment is seriously cool; it doesn’t really feel like a chain restaurant. Our server was super sweet and excited that it was our first time. She even gave us our chips on the house! Food came very quickly and was delicious. We were checked up on by friendly staff several times throughout our meal. The prices were great as well, we’re used to spending maybe a third more for the same product at home. Wonderful experience all around. They’ll get the fifth star from me when they start offering tequila ;)
Edit: I realized the liquor laws must be different here than they are in Milwaukee. It really was a five star experience!

I just absolutely love Tijuana Flats and you can’t go wrong at any location! I’ve been to the one in Oviedo all the way to the one in Leesburg and everywhere in between and they are all awesome!

I am a huge fan of Tijuana Flats because sometimes you just need a great crunchy taco. Most of my TFs are in Tampa, but I was back home for a while and got a mean taco craving. This location was everything I’ve come to expect — friendly service, great food, and a quick lunch stop. My go to are the beef crunchy tacos and maybe some queso for my chips. The taco meat is always well seasoned but that doesn’t stop me from adding a little Sweet Sally or sometimes one of the spicier options. Thanks for a great quick bite that was just what I was craving!

Tijuana Flats is always a great lunch experience. Vegetarian friendly which is a plus for my wife. Their carnitas flautas are delicious and their queso is supreme. The burritos can be a little cold and drippy if you don’t order them wet, but that is an easy problem to avoid. The atmosphere in one or the better TF atmosphere’s I’ve encountered.

Great place to come for lunch. The staff is super enthusiastic without being in your face. Accommodating without hovering. Knowledgable without being pretentious. It’s like going out to lunch with a bunch of friendly regulars, except the regulars work there and know the menus backwards and front. They can make recommendations no matter what you’re feeling.
Us all being from out of state and just being here on business, we felt welcome. A fresh lunch at a place that doesn’t make you feel like a stranger. How much better can you get? I mean, our churros came out a little slow but whatever they were delicious.

I’m very impressed with this location. I’m a big Tijuana Flats fan and have varying levels of service at the locations I’ve visited. This place, from start to finish, was awesome.
The lady who took my order was pleasant, cute, and helpful in giving me a recommendation. Too many places today where you ask for someone’s opinion on a menu item is met with a «I don’t have an opinion» or «it’s all good.» Nope, I was told why the beef was her favorite and promptly ordered it.
The manager was a super nice guy, came over, chatted with us, refilled our drinks multiple times, and cleaned our table for us.
Bravo to the staff of this Tijuana Flats. I’ll be back for sure.

Fast food only in the time it took to get our food. Very pleasant and helpful staff. Easy menu. Good size servings, presentation and taste of food was wonderful. 16 choice sauce bar will give you plenty of ways to customize your plate.
Beer and outside seating available.
We will be back!

This place is Chipotle and Free Birds on steroids! The first difference is you walk up and order and your food is prepared in a kitchen and then brought to your table by an adorable server (we had Johanna). She was so helpful in guiding our large party to just the right amount of food and delicious menu choices. The chips, queso and guacamole were outstanding. A small order is anything but small; I can’t imagine a large order. I had the tostadas which are small, crispy tortillas each topped with meat, cheese, lettuce, tomatoes and probably a lot more deliciousness! I had a combo of beef and chicken; both were awesome. Our group of 12 had a variety of items from the menu and everyone was extremely satisfied with their food. There is a sauce bar that is completely overwhelming; who knew there were so many different hot sauces! They offer beer and margaritas too, so you can really enjoy a meal here! This place is a casual atmosphere, but the food and service make you feel like you’re actually at a nicer restaurant. Loved everything about our visit!

We tried Tijuana Flats a couple of months ago, after recalled a review I heard on a favorite podcast. We were not disappointed!
Nicely sized menu, with plenty of options. Reasonably priced and huge portions! I can get at least two meals from one order of enchiladas. The guacamole is fresh and has a wonderful flavor — we often get an additional side order. The queso is well-​flavored as well. I wish the chips had a bit less salt in them, but they are so light and crispy that I love them despite the extra saltiness. Burritos and fish tacos also get two thumbs up from us and their nachos easily feed 2 – 3 people as a meal unto themselves.
TF has quickly become one of our favorite Tex Mex places!

First time at this location, I ordered a salad with chicken and toppings like onions and black olives, I also got a drink.
Lines were kind of long for two people taking orders but then I got my food quick. The salad I ordered was delicious and was really good with ranch dressing.
Good service and clean places with good music and nice atmosphere to eat. The only thing I do not like is that it is a bit over priced.
Lots to choose from in thr the menu, so look slowly.
Can’t forget they serve beer here!

My boyfriend has shown me the way of of Taco Tuesdays, $ 4.99 for 2 tacos and a drink, and the tacos are quite large. The wait on Taco Tuesdays can be a little long, but bring a friend and talk the wait away.
I love visiting their sauce bar and finding new ways to torture my tongue. They grade the sauces so if you’re weak you can find sauces that don’t bring too much heat.
