I've been frequenting Tijuana Flats for years, but this was my first time in this location as I was meeting up for lunch with a friend. Service was very friendly and prompt and the tables were clean. We ordered chips and queso as well as two burritos. The plate of chips and queso was absolutely massive, plenty to share between at least 4 people. We barely made a dent in it while saving room for our burritos. The staff came by multiple times to check on us and refill our drinks. Best service I've had at a T-Flats and best portion sizes too! Will be back next time I'm in town. read more

Tijuana Flats - Chips and queso - Tex-Mex Near Me - Champions Gate, Florida

The only compliment I can give this place is the nice young woman who works there! The food is expensive for what you get and not that good! No value at all. We live in Champions Gate and we've tried to see if it can change for the good but it doesn't! read more

This place seems to regularly understaffed. Currently it seems with only 2 employees including the kitchen. Have been waiting what seems ages for a single kids cheese quesadilla after waiting 10 minutes to order with only one guest front of me. Now the line to order is to the door. Don't recommend. read more

First time trying Tijuana, Chicken Rice bowl the avocado isn't fresh like chipotle that was disappointing you could definitely taste that it comes prepackaged. The chips the meal came with were stale & very greasy. It was decent. The queso was good. read more

Tijuana Flats - Tijuana Bowl - Tex-Mex Near Me - Champions Gate, Florida

I don't get in here often enough but I always get a good meal when I do. It's been a while but it was Taco Tuesday and I decided I wanted tacos. I pulled up the app and checked out what they had available these days. I was surprised to see carnitas as one of the options and I figured why not give it a try. A lot has changed in how things are sent to the pandemic and I can really see where they have downsized what they give you. There are a lot fewer chips with an order than there used to be but still plenty by my standards. The tacos themselves while fairly disappointing to look at actually tasted really great. When I arrived at the location to get my meal they were completely empty as it was the middle of the afternoon. I walked over where the pickup area is and nobody even realized that I was there. After a few moments I walk around the front of the counter and there was one person sitting there just playing on their phone. I had to get their attention to find out about my order which was sitting over on the counter rather than in the pickup section. I grabbed some extra hot sauce from the hot sauce bar and headed back to my car. The restaurant itself looked pretty much like it always has and everything appeared to be clean. I really enjoy the interiors of their restaurants as the decorations are always pretty amazing. Usually people that work in their restaurants are fairly attentive and friendly. I'm assuming what I encountered was just because it was a dead point in the day and no one was paying any attention. read more

We stay in the champions gate area once a year for vacations. We have tried every restaurant in this area multiple times but for some reason never tried this place until last night. Wow!! What have we been waiting for?? My family did pick up and each of us ordered a "bowl" and we all shared dos tacos. We all tried and LOVED the steak bowls, shrimp bowls and my favorite the carnitas bowls. Very tender and flavorful. I highly recommend! Tacos are also great. I'm a huge fan of the fresh Jalapeños and avocados on all our meals. They also sent us home with a huge bag of chips that we will definitely be eating on all week. We will definitely be back! read more

Hoped in to grab a quick dinner as neither of us felt like cooking dinner. This location seems to always disappoint, not sure why we come back. It started with having to wait 45 minutes for the togo order. Then when we get home we both comment about how small the burritos are. Mine was supposed to come with all their toppings. It had one single jalapeno slice and about 4 pieces of chopped onion and 5 little shreds of lettuce. Needless to say we were yet again not impressed with this location. read more

Tijuana Flats - Inside - Tex-Mex Near Me - Champions Gate, Florida

This is one of the cleanest most well run "fast food " restaurants I've ever been to. The stars are given mostly for service. ( The food is mediocre Texas Mexican cuisine. I do appreciate the fact that they have beer! ) There seemed to be only 2 people running the joint, Michelle at the front and someone else in the back. The bathrooms were very clean and stocked; something you rarely see in fast food restaurants. Michelle was on the ball; taking orders, bringing out food, refilling drinks, and clearing tables!! She was so kind and helpful, offering suggestions and being patient with complicated orders. Thank you Michelle in restoring my faith that good customer service still exists! read more

As someone from San Diego, CA I was excited to see a restaurant named Tijuana Flats.... then I saw Tex Mex and was confused.... I am married to a Texan who states that real Tex Mex doesn't exist outside of Texas.... As a Californian I LOVE my Mexican food, not Tex Mex, but my family and I gave Tijuana Flats a shot anyways. I chose a chimichanga because I've had those at numerous taco shops and restaurants and figured it was a safe bet. Boy was I wrong! I managed to eat half and then decided this isn't worth the calories. To be honest, I'm really picky about food but when my less picky family members stated how bad their food was, I decided to write a review as a warning to others coming from out of state! This restaurant is having an identity crisis as it is neither Mexican nor Tex Mex. Be forewarned! Giving 2 stars for the cool artwork read more

When tacobell is better... there is a problem. For a $15 burrito I'm expecting a homemade style tortilla, not a store bought one. The chips tasted like they were from last weeks batch. Their salsa was terrible. I was so dissatisfied with this burrito... I downloaded yelp and made a review. Take my advice. Go to tacobell. read more

Tijuana Flats - Stale chips and burrito megajuana disappointment - Tex-Mex Near Me - Champions Gate, Florida

We were looking for a good, local Tex-Mex joint... and didn't find one. When we walked in, we got pretty excited about the joint. It had a lot of extremely amazing artwork, funky decorations, and a Hot Bar. Unfortunately, the food was a big letdown, the entrees we got were either bland AF, greasy AF, or just sad AF. I ordered the Chimichanga, a lightly fried tortilla, with your choice of chicken ($10), beef ($10), steak ($11), or beans ($10) with melted cheese and topped with sour cream. It had no flavor--it was boiled chicken with no sauces or salsa inside. Of course, you could go to the Hot Bar and load up on sauces, but then you're locked into a spicy meal. The kids ordered the Dos Tacos, two hard corn or soft tortillas, with your choice of chicken ($10), beef ($10), steak ($11), or beans ($10) with lettuce, tomatoes, and shredded cheese. This had a lot of grease that poured out by the end of it all and the kids liked it OK. They also got the Burrito, your choice of chicken ($10), beef ($10), steak ($11), or veggies ($9) with cilantro lime rice, refried or black beans, in a tortilla. And this one was just sad--barely any filling. Overall, I'm not sure if it was just a bad visit, with poor meal prepping, or if this is the typical experience. I would not dissuade anyone from coming here, but make sure you ask for extra sauce and/or salsa for some semblance of flavor. read more

The staff here was extremely helpful. We had a bug group of people and they were super patient and kind. They came around to check up on us to make sure everyone was okay and if anyone needed anything they helped with a smile. They greeted every customer with a smile that walked in. They even timed our dessert to be fresh and hot and brought it kut once we were ready. Definitely recommend this location! read more

We went here for a quick lunch. It was pretty good! Nice margaritas and the food was good. I got a burrito which I thought was going to be a little bigger. It comes with plenty of chips so it's a nice meal. The big star here is the salsa bar. I wish I just got chips and tried every sauce! This is basically a FL version of Baja Fresh. Low bar, but still tasty. I get why many Floridians like it. read more

2 for $20 Monday's is the perfect excuse to grab Tijuana Flats on a Monday before you hit it hard on Taco Tuesday. Expect to wait if you do order on Monday, as many people also take advantage of the deal. 2 for $20 brings 2 medium drinks, 1 appetizer, and 2 entrees. Ordered to-go at 8pm (1 hour before closing) and was not expecting a line outside of the door! Had no idea how popular this location would be. Champions Gate is smaller than SoDo, but much busier. I didn't catch the employees name, but the gentleman with the multi-colored (blue-ish dyed) hair was killing it. Taking orders, in the kitchen, and handling to-go orders for a packed house. Shoutout to him for absolutely crushing it! Signature Gold queso is a must. read more

Tijuana Flats - Tex-Mex Near Me - Champions Gate, Florida

So of course it seems to always be a hit or miss at this location. Last time we stopped by I believe it was after the lunch and the food was great and we got it right away. Welp today we stopped by and of course we order sit and we realize half hour had gone by and yet no food people where coming in and out and here we are still waiting. So my wife got up to ask because I was on my 1 hour lunch time. They literately just told her they would be with her in a second which was in a rude manner like they could careless. Of course they then tell her it will be out in a few minutes. They either forgot us or just didn't make it my guess they forgot us because my food was cold. I was so upset that here I am trying a new item which is $11.99 and its cold. Like WTH pay attention to your customers especially the local ones that would come back time and time again. Needless to say we will not be stopping by anytime soon. And I must say the attitude was uncalled for. You messed up I didn't I pay I am the customer if I am paying for food then it shouldn't take forever or come out cold. Definitely need a customer service attitude adjustment. I am thinking the later crew is better and this is why its always a hit or miss. read more

We went for Taco Tuesday, and can't wait to go again! The tacos were delicious, and the buffalo crunchy chicken burrito is amazing! The staff weee friendly, and attentive. Grab a beer and sit back inside or enjoy the sun in downtown Champion's Gate! read more

There was only one other group (who already had their food) and it took 30 minutes to get ours. So slow. The restaurant was clean, had good music and the food was good once we finally got it but the wait is ridiculous. I'd hate to see it when it is busy... We got chips and Queso but most of the chips were inedible and not cooked or super oily, just not good. The person bringing out the food screamed our name which seems really unnecessary with only one other table here and they already had their food so by order of elimination he should have been able to tell it was ours. Dude made me jump lol read more

Tijuana Flats the the perfect spot for lunch and an annual visit before I head to my conference at The Omni at Championsgate.

Tijuana Flats - Wtf kind of chimi is this?! - Tex-Mex Near Me - Champions Gate, Florida

To be perfectly fair, this review is made about a takeout order. The order was made on the website and picked up. I picked it up at or near the ready time, but am not sure how long it sat waiting for me to get it. After the drive home, the crunchy burrito and taco were a bit soggy and didn't have a lot of crunch. The flavor was good, but probably would have been enhanced by eating in the store, where I had access to all of the sauce selections. As it was, I made my selection with the order and received a small tub of the choice to use. It wasn't enough for a burrito this size. I chose grilled chicken for the burrito and in retrospect, probably would choose something with just a bit more kick, like maybe the beef or the blackened chicken. Both the Queso Crunch burrito and the Tijuana Bowl were humongous, and with a side of chips and queso, more than made up a meal for two. For a few meals. The next time I try this one, it's going to be in person. Most of the area restaurants are just starting to serve in person, so I assumed this was takeout or delivery only. It's not and I think the restaurant setting can offer so much more for this meal. read more

My family was on vacation and ordered food delivery after long day at the pool and looked forward to good meal. We ordered flautas with chicken and cheese, almost no chicken at all in these. Two different burritos were ordered and these had the wrong meat in them. The guac was old and turning brown with no fresh flavor, no onion or tomato. Food from order was forgotten on the delivery. Only good thing was the customer service from manager when we called about missing items, money was returned for these. I have previously had good experience at this restaurant but will not likely be going back for the price after this experience. Large price for not much filling in the burritos and flautas along with lack of flavor and several mess ups! read more

I'm a pretty big fan of Tijuana Flats. As a super cool black badge yelper, I should be searching out local flavors only. As a budget conscious person living through our current hellish economy, I say save a few bucks on vacation and look for good enough cheap stuff near you. Food options are pretty limited near the Omni Hotel. I was very glad to see Tijuana Flats as an option. With some of their daily specials, you can conceivably dine at Tijuana Flats for just a few dollars more than Mickey D's. I'm a recovering fatty, so I had to get the steak chimichanga. It would've been a perfectly adequate meal [especially calorically] as is. Unfortunately, I needed to Mega Juana it for $4.99 extra - double meat, double cheese. Maybe I'm determined to be fat again? I don't know. Don't @ me. Tijuana Flats has a lot of hot sauces that are pretty good but also kind of same-y. Be very careful with the hottest sauces. They've ruined meals for me there, and I'm a spicy food junkie. I really love Tijuana Flats. It may be the best dining option near the Omni Hotel. read more

This place's wait time was extremely long. It took over half an hour to get the food after ordering. The food was just ok. The order of chicken wing only had 1 out of 6 of the middle part. The churros bites were not really churros. read more

Great concept. Colourful interior, friendly and helpful staff. Good menu, veg options and free refills on drinks. I had a burrito bowl sans cheese or sour cream and it was very flavourful. Fam had the blackened chicken burrito, fish taco,chipotle chicken chimichanga and chicken flautas. All were happy with their meals. My guys were happy with the hot sauce table and sampled all of them. Lunch for all of us was around $45USD. read more

For the second time flats! Please see my Lake Mary location for previous flats review. Common son! Please train better, hire or both. When I walk in the door and a cashier informs me that if I order it's going to be 30 min and that they only have one cook you've lost my business at that point. If you don't want my business it's ok. As Taylor Swift sings, "We are never getting back together!" Seems like bankruptcy would be a good thing for you. Big taco destroys y'all btw! Bryan Wheeler is the secret to success...not whatever you guys are cooking up. read more

Terribly disappointing, especially for what I paid. I got a street corn burrito and it was the most dry, flavorless thing I've ever had. I honestly can't believe anyone would serve this to paying customers. I get that sauces are a big thing for them but I was equally unimpressed with their sauces. They're gimmicky and the flavor combinations make absolutely no sense. Giving the sauces ridiculous names doesn't compensate for the fact that every flavor I sampled was awful. I didn't even want to try them all, after 5 terrible sauces I just assumed they would all suck. Sorry, but this is a one and done for me. read more

Probably the slowest place I've ever been. Ordered chips and queso and a burrito at 7:02pm and pick up time was 7:22pm. Got there at 7:25 and still wasn't available. 30 minute after pick up time and it was finally ready. No apology or anything. Had crying kids in the car and this was the biggest waste of time. Will not be going back and will be writing the corporate office. Unbelievable. read more

Eli was the absolute best customer service representative at this Tijuana Flats. We are not familiar with the area and my children were hungry and of course we have dairy allergy and meat restrictions so there are not a lot of options after 8pm. I was miles away from my family and was still able to provide a meal for my children with the help of Eli and Yelp. I was able to research the area and found this location Because of them I was able to reach out to Eli who went over the order I placed in the app over the phone and insured a satisfying evening for my children and their aunt. Tijuana Flats is usually our go to location and we order two throwback Thursdays special burrito meals. Eli read my order back to me and make sure that they were free of cheese and sour cream. If the order would've arrive with either of those toppings my children would not have eaten and their aunt would've definitely had a harder evening with two cranky kids on her hands. Times like this I see the collaboration between vendors and reviewers on Yelp and how it really makes a difference. Thank you to Eli and the Yelp team for making this an easy experience. You gotta love technology, and a great staff! #Thank youThursday #ThankfulThursday too read more

Tijuana Flats - Tex-Mex Near Me - Champions Gate, Florida

First of all, I've been to multiple Tijuana Flats locations and they tend to be kind of a hit or miss for me. Some are quick, some are slow. Some are fresher than others. Their flavors in general aren't that exciting. However. Champions Gate has extremely limited food options, so when I'm in the mood for a burrito and don't want to drive in an hour or I-4 traffic, this is usually where I end up. This location is extremely slow. Like, embarrassingly so. I've been here multiple times in the last few months, there's almost never a line, and yet my one person order still somehow takes upwards of 30 minutes. Not sure how or why that's happening, and I've only received an apology for it once. They also said they upsized my queso for my wait (they didn't). The burritos are decent. They're warm, and have anything you could want on a burrito on them - tomatoes, onions, beans, rice, steak. Salsa and queso are an extra charge, so I definitely don't like that. And as many times as I've tried to like the hot sauces here, they're just not that great. In my opinion, the best part about the meal is the perfectly seasoned chips. Overall, T Flats is decent in a pinch, but it's a little overpriced and there are better Mexican options around if you're willing to drive a little. read more

I have ordered curbside a couple times recently and I am impressed with their system. Ordered online, was told time to pickup, easy menu options to order, add drink, add name to each meal for easy distribution when I get home. I receive an email and text confirmation, pull up to curbside spot, text number I am here and BOOM! They come out with your order. Orders have always been correct and complete. Also, let me tell you their ICE is amazing! I order a large drink and can't wait to finish it so I can enjoy the ice! A must try if I'm the area. Staff is very friendly as well! When they come to your car they even ask if you want any hot sauces and will bring right back out to you. read more

1) no available menus outside of an app. Annoying. But forgivable. 2) no clean table in a mostly empty restaurant. 3) request to get someone to clean was ignored 4) second request brought someone out to just walk around and go back. 5) I had to take the rag and clean my own table, no cooperation 6) my friends order came out well after I finished my dinner. 7) they got his order wrong 2 times and then argued it was what he asked for. Refusing to fix the problem. 8) horrible attitude from the manager. Food was good tho. That's a plus. read more

Since opening we have made Tijuana Flatt's our weekly Thursday go-to, while we've had issues on occasion the GM and Shay (sp?) always have assisted in making it right. I felt the need to come on here and give some positive feedback, as it's well deserved. Typically the food is hot, fresh, and a great value ($5.99 burrito, chips and a drink on Thursdays). I appreciate the location's willingness to improve when issues are brought to their attention. Tonight everything was spot on. Thank you TF for a yummy meal. ETA: Another yummy dinner (10/11). read more

Wanted to drop a rare (from me anymore) review for this place. Stumbled into it one night after a long day at the theme parks. The staff was super friendly and the hot was actually quite good. Extra star for that Mofo sauce, it's actually pretty hot, not some Taco Bell Diablo wimp-sauce. I'd come back for sure. read more

Very consistent. Sometimes it takes quite a bit of time to receive your order, but they deliver delicious food, and generous portions. Since discovering the steak flautas some time ago, I have stuck with this as my go-to. They're rolled in the most delicious and flaky pastry and served with quac and queso for dipping. My husband's go to is their quesadillas. He's generally satisfied, but prefers the ones from Moe's, Orders are taken at the counter and brought to your table. There's a self-service bar of hot sauces that changes day to day. I wish there was a plain salsa available because sometimes I don't like any of the choices. Often they're all either too spicy or too sweet, with no in-between options. Overall, a solid place to go for this type of food, I definitely recommend. read more
