Tijuana Flats

I love Tijuana Flats and whenever I go back to Florida I have to stop in just to check the box. My favorites are the burrito with cheese on top, the hot sauce bar, and the crushed ice and drink refills.

I have never been to this place before. We were actually looking for a nice not too expensive place to get some food. This restaurant is right off of main street and has parking lots of parking. We came on a saturday night and it was not packed at all.
We ordered a salad. We thought we will eat a bit healthy for once. Well, nope. The salad was huuuuge in a bowl made out of corn bread. It was soo good though. There was plenty of greens and chicken too. On the side you get chips and dressing. Our order was ready in a few minutes.
the staff was great because we have never been here before she knew all the dishes and helped us to pick the best one for our mood. They serve 3 kinds of beer. And nor the food or the drinks were expensive.
They have a great hot souce bar! They also have special deals on some days like tacco tuesdays. I am deffinitely up to try this place again.

Tijuana Flats was as good as usual, but Johnny (Awesome) was the greatest server in the history of the universe. He kinda looks like a grown up version of Gerald from Hey Arnold. I would definitely come here all the time as long as Johnny is working here

Came here for Taco Tuesday. I got two tacos, a drink, chips, and an extra cup of queso for like eight bucks. It was an asking value. And when I asked about getting a refill on my queso, the dude was like hell yea! It was great. Literally my only complaint is that the cups they provide at the salsa bar are way too small.

This place is amazing! Since the management changed, the nicest and greatest food has come out of this place! So happy I came, I was skeptical because of previous reviews, but I suggest everyone go! The food is reasonably priced for what you get. I got the veggie burrito, and it was great, plus the variety of sauces made it all the better. Being a vegetarian I’ve had trouble finding places with a good option, but I have no complaints here!

Why are there SO many Tijuana Flats in Orlando? Anyway, I just moved from Pennsylvania where I was disappointed that their Bensalem location closed! It was like having a good friend pass away learning of Tijuana Flats untimely demise. So now that I live in Florida, out of the blue I figured I would check if there happened to be a Tijuana Flats in Orlando. Well, there are about 10 locations! What gives, Floridians? More reason to love this state.
I am truly a lucky guy. Escaping cold weather and having a Tijuana Flats on every corner. This particular location is within walking distance of the new job and is about as good as the Bensalem location albeit much, much busier with students from UCF as their main business. I felt out of place with this hipster crowd and with employees who could well be freshmen themselves. Nonetheless, a happier kind of place with no pretension. The students at UCF deserve credit for not being overly obnoxious and considerably more relaxed than the more northerly variety (of which, I was one at one time, and deserved every title of annoying college young-​in)
Oh the food. Duh! How could I forget that? It was like I thought it would be. Fresh tasting. Tangy, good tasting Taco’s. I had a Steak and a Mahi soft taco. Cool combo that left me filled. The chips were good as well. I also received a free drink courtesy of Taco Tuesdays. Is there any room for criticism? The straws. They are too thin. I had to suck harder to get my drink into my mouth. But that border pornographic description is not enough to bring them down a star. A five stars they get/​deserve at this location.
8 bucks well spent! I will be back.

I came here on a Tuesday for taco Tuesday and it was packed. It was almost impossible to find a parking spot. we had to park behind the restaurant – Luckily they have an entrance to the restaurant from the back.
Once I got inside I was questioning my decision to take part in taco Tuesday. There were people all over the place and it was pretty dark inside. The line to order was almost at the front door.
For $ 5.49 you can get two tacos, chips and a drink. Not a bad deal but not an amazing one either.
I ordered beef tacos and guacamole with my chips. My order was ready pretty quickly to my surprise even though the place was packed. I was also able to snatch a table while my fiancé waited for our tacos to come out.
The tacos themselves were nothing special, they were good. The beef was tasty and the ingredients in the taco tasted fresh. The guacamole was really good, it was creamy and had a freshly made taste to it.
Where this place really shines is the hot sauce bar! I had to try pretty much each one. My favorites were don’t be a chicken shit and smack my ass and call me Sally – the second slapping.
Overall, this is a good place to come to with friends or if you want to see what all the hype about taco Tuesday is about. I don’t think I can see myself coming back here soon simply because it was a little too packed for my liking. The tacos and the hot sauces we’re pretty good and the service was quick! I’d recommend this place to someone who hasn’t tried it before!

Very good tacos
Enjoyed this place very much, fun décor. Very nice staff. Lots of hot sauce to choose from.

I’ve been to so many Taco Tuesdaze that perhaps the novelty has worn off on me. My visit to this location is the first time I’ve been to a Tijuana Flats in several years, and things are exactly the same. Which is to say good, but not great.
Wait times can be a little long on Tuesdays, but once you get to the register, service is friendly and efficient. Seating is always a challenge during busy lunch hours, so good luck on that front.
The food is good, as expected, and the hot sauce bar offers up about two dozen options. The servers were quick to clear off the tables and get sodas refilled.
Overall: Good food, good prices, long waits

I think I’ve officially been to all the Tijuana Flats locations in Orlando and I’ve had great experiences each and everytime. For one, this is by far my favorite place to get lunch/​dinner in Orlando. The food is also very good and filling. The staff is also very nice and helpful, which is a plus. The hot sauce bar is amazing!!! I love to try the different sauces, I even get the hottest although I know I cannot always tolerate the heat.
This location is the closet to UCF, so the décor is filled with UCF school spirit, hence from the pictures.

Got into town late, and Tijuana Flats was one of the only places still open. I’m not sure why, you’d think in the college section of the town that 8 o’clock would be the start of fun times.
I’ve been to TF in other parts of Florida, and this one is one of the best. The sauce bar had a broad selection of hot sauces from «nice to meet you» all the way up to «I’m here to bring you pain!» The food was totally on-​point and delicious, and the service was amazing. The manager and other folks stopped by often to check and see how we were doing and to get us refills. The guac was great, a real departure from a lot of other Mexican places that require a bunch of salt to even taste like anything.
Very clean restaurant, with a great staff and great atmosphere. If I have to come back to Orlando, this will be on my list of stops. Thanks, Tijuana Flats!

Good service and good food :) Because this one is near UCF is has the BEST sauces available at the hot sauce bar. I have been to some that don’t carry the best variety. Of course this one has my two favorite available all the time… Jason’s mom and Rasta sauce. OMG. SO GOOD. I got my husband HOOKED on the Rasta sauce.
Also, I know this isn’t always a big deal to a lot of people but can we just give it up for the crushed ice your drinks come in?! It’s the little things, people. And the ice makes this place.
Of course the food is lovely too and I love the specials during the days of the week… especially on Thursdays! Yay saving money and yummy food :)

Great food! I love this place. It’s a great place for lunch. Online ordering is easy if you want to make s pick up. Try the beef chimichanga :) or get Taco Tuesday’s! This location has friendly staff. A lot of college students and people on their lunch break during the week.

Great atmosphere, great place to bring family or just have a quick bit! Food is always quick and good.

I just love TF. It’s one of a few things I miss about Florida.
Now that there are quite a few of them, I def have my fav spots. This is one of them. If you visit during the off hours, there’s usually not a line. I tend to do pick-​up orders when I’m in town. And the food is always ready the minute I walk in. And even if I order at the counter, the food is ready really fast.
The location is clean, the staff is friendly, the ice is crushed, and the food is fantastic. And there’s a hot bar! What else do you need? No. Really, what else? Yeah, that’s what I thought.
You’ll love it!

Cookie Dough dessert is amazing!

Free Veterans’ Day lunch. A delicious blackened chicken salad with citrus dressing and some Smack my Ass hot sauce to give it a kick.
Damn this place is busy. Should be expected on Taco Tuesdaze near the campus. The service is great here.

I don’t know what the deal is with this Tijuana Flats but they just can not seem to get it together! I’d say about 90% of the time (and I’m not exaggerating) they mess up my order. Lately the wheat soft tacos have been very stale too. Not a fan of this location!

So, I used to go to this place every Tuesday. We stopped going, and this was my first time back in over 6 months.
I got the taco Tuesday special (2 tacos, chips, and a drink for $ 4.99). I made mine pink for an extra dollar in honor of Breast Cancer awareness month, and ordered a side of guacamole.
I recommend you pass on the guacamole. Honestly, I find better guacamole at Friendly Confines in Waterford Lakes.
Tacos were as expected, one had a lot of beef, the other had more cheese. It’s usually hit or miss. Customer service is always excellent, though.

Tijuana Flats is the ideal lunch place. The line is usually pretty fast and sometime none at all and the food also comes out before your lunch hour ends. All sounds good to me except the food sucks.
I ordered Dos Tacos (chicken) and it sucked. The highlight of the meal was the chips it came because it was still a fresh batch and the hot sauce bar. The chicken in the tacos had no flavor and seemed like they just boiled the chicken. It totally lacked seasoning! At least other places they have grilled it or done something. Marinades people!
Even though the staff is wonderful and the restaurant is clean, I won’t be coming back for a long time. Not evening for Taco Tuesday, which btw is not that even that good of a deal! People, you’re basically only getting a drink for an extra .50 compare to a regular Dos Taco! Just go home and make your self a taco, at least it’ll taste better. I hope.
