Ok to start if you are looking for an authentic Mexican restaurant keep looking. That being said Tijuana Flats hands down is the best fresh Mexican fast food (for lack of a better term). A great value for lunch with taco Tuesday's and throwback Thursday's. The staff is very friendly and does a great job with first time guests explaining the menu and hot sauce bar. Hot sauces range from sissy sauces to death wish with a variety of flavors in each leave. The also have bottles for sale if you find the one you can't live without. read more

This is a long time coming! We have used you guys as comfort food so many times and it is always fresh and delicious, always hits the spot. Thank you for taking care of us poor teachers who have no control over our own time. This location is a true team and will take care of you Thanks guys! read more

We ordered through uber eats and pretty much wound up with an empty bowl. My husband had ordered and paid for extra lettuce to substitute the rice and beans but somehow ended up with barely anything on the bowl. It looked like 1 very small scoop of lettuce and barely anything else. I called the restaurant and was transferred to the Manager whom continued to argue with me. Somehow she doesn't seem to understand that although there is a 3rd party involved (uber eats) they are the ones preparing the meal. Point is, we spent over $20 for the bowl, delivery and extra lettuce yet still ended up having to place another order with another restaurant. Funny how this other restaurant understands the concept of what a meal should look like. Save your money and time for a business that actually cares about its customers. At the very least, they should had prepared another order and delivered for the inconvenience. read more

I have been to other TIjuana Flats locations and loved it. However, the Cortez location is not up to par. Right when you walk in the woman who took our order was very rude and we had to repeat ourselves many times and she became frustrated with our order. We felt bad for her because it looked like she had been punched in the face with a black eye. When we got our food it was all wrong and we had to send it back. We were very disappointed and will not be going back to this location! read more

It's okay, but nothing stellar. The past couple of times we've ordered food for pick up, it took longer than stated to be ready. Tonight our food was ready 30 minutes later than scheduled. Absurd. If you are in the area and looking for good texmex, just go to Wicked Cantina instead. It's not much more expensive, better quality, and worth the wait. read more

Great food at a great location. Excellent service with the quality of come to expect from Tijuana Flats read more

Tijuana Flats - Hot Bar - Mexican Near Me - Bradenton, Florida

Soggy tacos compared to usual. I love Tijuana but I may pass them over from here on. The whole reason I liked it is it's not usually soggy. Might as well go to taco bell next time. Pay for garbage like it tastes. I love Tijuana but will not be returning for cortez rd. Tijuana again. Sad. Money down your soggy taco drain. Lame. Tastes worst than ever before, hence don't go here read more

Always good!! Fast service too, love coming here. Super friendly environment and everything always tastes fresh. Good prices too as they always give more than enough portion sizes! read more

Can't give this place that many stars. I got chips queso and a burrito and the chips were the best thing. My burrito was not hot, the tomatoes tasted really old and soggy and it was freezing inside. read more

Zack and Frank are excellent managers...great food...great beer...great people ...I encourage anybody to check it out and try and say otherwise ... read more

Tijuana Flats - Tijuana Tuesday's is a great time at the Flats! - Mexican Near Me - Bradenton, Florida

My favorite place for burritos for the past 15 years.Stop in and give them or other tasty meals a try, you won't be disappointed.

New to the area from an area where you'd think making burritos was an olympic sport. Maybe i'm spoiled but i know burritos. Small mom n pop places are always the best...this isn't one of those. The facts: I ordered the burrito and a drink deal for $5.99. I up sized the drink to a medium and ordered double meat. The bill came to $12. With double meat, the burrito was more than 80% shell. If they wrapped a deck of cards in a burrito shell I would have had more food....and for $12. Chips were nearly stale. No salsa either.....they have various sauces, but nothing resembling salsa. A mexican restaurant where you can't get chips and salsa?????? Service was friendly and quick. No complaints there. My opinion: This place is a corporate run place that knows nothing about mexican food. They want to give the customer the bare minimum while taking their money to the bank. I should have gone to taco bell. I would have been 4x as happy for half the price. I don't work for Taco Bell and nothing I've written has been an exaggeration. read more

Me and my fiance went to Tijuana Flats to try it for the very first time 4 days ago it was the worst tacos I've ever tasted very dry very nasty not enough meat we will never return there read more

Always a favorite. Prices are a bit high, but the amount of food you receive for it is definitely worth it. The beef burritos and flautas are soooo good!! read more

Taco tuesdaze are the best deal in town! Food is always great and service is good as always.

Another fake Mexican place. Located ironically in Bradenton, which has exceptional Mexican food at places like Acapulco Tropica. Tried the fish tacos and honestly there were two postage stamp sized pieces of deep fried in each. Instead they were jammed with salad and onions. Very disappointed. To be fair, tried it a second time, chicken enchiladas. Dull tasting and they had an odd bitter taste, maybe the oil used to cook them in? Tried the one in Sarasota a few times opposite Sarasota Memorial Hospital and it was good each time. read more

First time hear ! We were all simply amazed of the out standing customer service this place had , thy even opened the door for new customers as thy came in the door , when thy were not buzzy helping other customers ! My family had a food Buiness for many years and over 200 employees ! I've not Sean or experienced this much exceptional customer service before ! Not even in Norstrom's department stores read more

Good stuff here at Tijuana Flats. I've been waiting for this place after going to the Tallahassee location a few months ago. We ordered a starter of the Tijuana Triple chips and queso, salsa, and guacamole. The salsa is fresh with no real heat, the guac was decent and the queso was pretty good. Although I prefer the white queso, it was ok. Moe's has the best queso for this type of restaurant. I had the blackened chicken chimichanga - all the way, with even more queso dumped on it (yay!!). My husband a three tacos that were huge. FYI - Tuesday is Taco Day. 2 tacos with chips and a drink for 4.99. read more

Taco Tuesday is probably one of my favorite nights of the week. But only if we go to Tijuana Flats for dinner! The food is excellent and the service is too. It is usually pretty busy when we go, but the service is great and the wait is never too long. The girls are great with providing our food quickly and made to order. They even come around several times during our visit to refill our drinks and get us more queso if we need it. The manager is always out with the customers to ensure that we have a great experience and to help clean up the tables when we are done. read more

The setting is amazing on the inside. The walls have amazing art on it. The staff was very nice and helpful with questions about the food. I ordered a burrito and got a side of chips so I could partake in the hot sauce bar, which is one of my favourite parts of this restaurant. The food was very good, I'll definitely be returning. read more

Yummy Food & Drinks! Interesting Hot Sauce bar with custom made hot sauces to choose from! Even had t.v.'s so we could watch the Rays Baseball game! Would recommend! read more

Wasn't sure what to expect when we walked in, but we were pleasantly surprised. The food was delicious, hot sauce bar is great, the atmosphere is fun and the service was friendly and fast. All around a great eating experience. read more

Food was basic mexican, good but not great. Staff was very helpful with a high chair, drink refills, and quick removal of empty plates.

We always ate at the St. Pete T Flats on 4th St. N when we lived there. Always clean, greeted at the door, friendly and your beverage was always kept full. They are so very accommodating and quick. We moved to Bradenton and started going to the one on Cortez. What a mess.....the bathrooms are always filthy, the staff is very slow and if you want a refill, forget about it...This place is not ran nearly as efficient as the one 4th St. or for that matter, any of the other T Flats that we have been to. Just a very unkept looking restaurant. read more

Just want to say thanks to Tijuana Flats for doing such a great job of supporting veterans! As a vet, it means a lot. Thank you so much!

I have had consistently good food here, I loved the flautas made with whole wheat tortillas. They were big and full, and I didnt get a meal, just the flautas and they were more than enough. Churros are the bomb too read more

The food was good. We were all happy without meals. Excellent choice of Hot Sauces on the Hot Bar. That's lots of fun. The thing I loved most here was the staff!! Everyone was so friendly! They held the door for us upon arriving and leaving. As we entered they told us the special of the day. Just very welcoming and helpful. read more

Love that they use fresh food. I love the guac, queso, salsa chip trio....the buffalo chk. Burrito is good and beef burritos. My kids love it. It's decorated cute inside. Hubby is a pepper and hot sauce freak....so he loves the HOT sauces read more

Cute place. Great, friendly service. Food was blah. I had a carnitas burrito and my hubby had steak burrito. I didn't love the flavor of the carnitas but that may just be preference. Very little meat in either burrito, mostly filled with lettuce. Queso was like cheap nacho cheese. We also tried 3 of the sauces at the bar and didn't like any of them. Once again, we really liked the people and service, but I would not pay money for the food. read more

Always fresh, quick and not too expensive. Attentive and friendly staff that always fix any mistake they may have made.

Love this place and the staff deserve 10 stars. The only detraction was the fact that the beef in the tacos was dry and didn't have any seasoning. If you didn't put on sauce or salsa it was pretty boring. The beef was ultra lien which was really nice just needed some seasoning. The rest of the food was very flavorful and delicious! Will definitely go back!! read more

I have been a customer for many years at this chain. The new menu layout is absolutely horrible and ordering was confusing. The food is good as always but just bring back the Tijuana flats I've grown to know and love. read more

I hired Tijuana Flats for a family event for 15 people. The food and setup was excellent. The price per petson was very affordable. I would recommend the Cortez location for any of your catering needs read more

A stoners dream. Tijuana Flats is straight up Grateful Dead meets burritos. Hot sauces galore. Groovy. Yummy. Friendly staff! Let'em roll you a fat one.....a burrito, that is. read more

Just ok. They were very friendly and helpful the food was good, maybe a nice place for lunch.

Always get great food and great service. Love their tacos. I get the Powerlite with low-fat sour cream and cheese. Hubby gets chicken enchiladas. Lots of filling and tasty. Love their black beans. Hot sauce bar is fun for those brave enough to try it! read more

Chelsea the manager is wonderful! She took a huge order for me this morning and was so accommodating. Something in the order got forgotten, and I wasn't charged for it, and she immediately offered to take another entre off, or provide the item for free. Mistakes happen, it's how you deal with them which shows your true character! Thank you for being so professional and helpful. read more

why does getting a burrito have to be such an ordeal? geeeeezzzzz its not like its fine dining? it a frigging burrito.... it should be easy! why so skimpy on the ingredients for the price? i guess food cost on lettuce, cheese and sour cream is running high these days. the ingredients in a burroito are just simple cheap stuff. its not like it was filet mignon or caviar! meals were messed up on take out order! then our receipt had no totals? how do you split an order that way? had to call and get totals which they say are never on the receipt. there is a level of deceptiveness to this in my opinion. when i called back i found that i had been over charged. my advice, do not make take out orders here, because you will end up getting messed up meals and overcharged. chipolte is cheaper and more generous! read more

Great service every time we go!! Went today and our friends food too a long time to come out. Once we did get our food and were enjoying it the manager came out to apologize for how long it tool for our food to come and gave us a cup full of churro's! So awesome! read more
