It was around 8pm on a Saturday, and our group was looking for a quick, casual, and budget-friendly meal near our hotel. A quick check on Yelp led us to Tijuana Flats, and I was pleasantly surprised! The restaurant was clean, spacious, and had plenty of seating, including outdoor options. It's located in a shopping plaza so there's free parking. It reminded me a lot of an El Pollo Loco back home in Cali, but with an even bigger menu. They also had printed hand menus, which made choosing so much easier. As someone who primarily eats a plant-based diet, I loved that both their black and refried beans are vegetarian and lard-free. The food tasted made-to-order, and the portions were large enough to share. I really enjoyed the tostada and the chimichanga ($10.99). They also let you put toppings on the side, which was perfect for our group since not everyone wanted cheese or sour cream. We also tried the large guacamole and chips ($6.99). It was traditional, fresh, and perfect for four people. I also enjoyed a medium fresh strawberry lemonade ($3.39) and a large Mexican rice ($2.89). Someone in our group got a beef bowl ($10.99) and loved it too. For a fast-casual spot, the service was incredible. The team brought food directly to our table, cleared dishes, and brought out everything exactly as ordered. Even though they closed at 9 they never made us feel rushed. Whether you're grabbing lunch, dinner, or takeout, Tijuana Flats is a fantastic spot. I would definitely return! read more

Honestly, my experience with Tijuana Flats was extremely disappointing. The customer service was terrible, and the way customers are treated needs serious improvement. There were attitudes and very little willingness to actually listen to or accommodate the customer. What bothered me the most was the lack of transparency when it came to pricing. I felt like I was being overcharged without anyone clearly explaining the additional charges beforehand. Customers should not have to question their bill or feel like charges are being added without proper communication. There also seemed to be absolutely no accountability when mistakes were made. Instead of taking responsibility and trying to resolve the issue, I felt like the situation was brushed off. Mistakes happen, but how a business handles those mistakes says a lot about its customer service. I understand that everyone can have a bad day, but customers should still be treated with respect, honesty, and professionalism. Unfortunately, that was not my experience here. Management really needs to address the customer service, communication, pricing transparency, and accountability because experiences like this can easily make customers not want to return. read more

The Paloma steak dinner is wonderful. Recently we girls went for lunch and not wanting that much food, I ordered the steak & mushroom quesadilla and it was delish. I had my fave refried beans and white rice with it and want to go back soon, it was that good. Service was wonderful. I can't remember her name, darn it but she is you and dark hair and beautiful with a very friendly personality. We girls were catching up after a long time so we stayed 3 hrs while enjoying our meal and drinks. read more

Tijuana Flats is always my go to when I'm visiting home. I've been going to this location for at least 10+ years now. I ordered my dinner via their mobile app for a pick-up an hour from then. I ordered Black Bean nachos and was easily able to customize any toppings I wanted removed and pre-pay for my meal. This shopping center was busy, but Tijuana is tucked to the side where there is plenty of parking. They have a pick-up station for to-go orders somewhat near the cash register so I just had to look for my name on the shelf and take my food. Food was ready when I got there and I didn't have to interact with any employees. Tijuana is great Tex-Mex food and their salsa is packed with fresh flavors. This is a great casual restaurant! read more

Tijuana Flats - Nachos - Tex-Mex Near Me - Deerfield Beach, Florida

First and foremost the young lady at the counter was very nice and helpful .... On the other hand this maybe the worst Tex mex place in the area . This place has gone way downhill it's hard to believe they still have open doors . I ordered a side a rice and it came In a small ramakin..... rice was hard like it was from last Christmas . The enchiladas were hard as well, like they were from the Great Depression era . This place just screams struggling franchise ... like you give customers flimsy cheap plastic silverware to eat with ?silverware was unusable to eat my meal.... I would steer away from this place plenty better options in the Deerfield area . read more

Excellent food, great service, really nice Mexican themed decor. All in all a very nice dining experience

Fast friendly service and the food taste great. Your restaurant on commercial the food is awful and not so good service.

so I came to ur place Tijuana Flats (not even gonna say hi bc u dont deserve it), and it was just like the worst. People there acting like they don't care about nothing. like really??? I said something and got like attitude?? Hello? I'm paying not begging! The girl at the counter looked at me like I was the problem. how is that my fault??? She didn't even say sorry just kept rolling her eyes smh. Customer service = nonexistent. I guess yall don't care at all about ur customers huh? Not cool. Not coming back and I'm telling everyone I know (and I know a lot of ppl). DO BETTER. or don't. whatever. read more

Needed something quick the other night so I ordered online for pickup. Taco Tuesday offers 2 tacos, chips and a drink for $6.99 and Thursday is $6.99 burritos or bowls and also includes chips and a drink. Super easy to order and pay online. The order was ready as I was pulling up and brought out to the car quickly. The tacos were good. The blackened chicken bowl had plenty of chicken, rice, black beans, guacamole and extra jalapeños as requested. Don't forget to order sauce from the hot sauce bar. Plenty of choices from mild to super hot. Foods pretty solid for fast food Mexican. Nachos are good too also heard the wings were fire. read more

I haven't been to a Tijuana Flats in ages so it was nice that with the promotion I had a reason to pop in. I didn't even know I had one fairly close. The service was great right off the bat. They didn't know about the promotion they had going but once it was cleared up they were on it. The 3 person team were friendly and quick. I waited a couple minutes for my order, noting that the place was clean and bright. They had dine in service with half the tables blocked off for social distancing. I was by myself though, so it was better to take it to go. once home I broke out my meal, a Megajuana Queso Crunch Burrito. It was dang big. I got at it but I actually couldn't finish. It was plenty good though. It came with some hot salsa and chips too. The chips were a nice extra touch, they tasted fresh like maybe they even made them on site. The salsa wasn't my type as it had a smoky tone to it. It did have some kick to it though. Over all it was a well worth driving down to Deerfield, it was solid. read more

Tijuana Flats - Tex-Mex Near Me - Deerfield Beach, Florida

This is by far their best location. The staff is knowledgeable pleasant cares about customer service and customer opinions. The food was extremely well done, with perfect temperature and a quickness of being served I've never witnessed before coming here for 20 years in the past. There Tuesday and Thursday specials are a deal and a half and so worth it. Put that together with the care the employees give alongside the ambience and feel of the store itself and it's look... These guys are straight winners and I advise everybody to come visit this place with frequency. read more

UPDATE A manager named Tom called me today when I asked for a call back about the bill. He explained all the mitigating factors that have lead this price point (i.e.: inflation, supply chain, etc.). It was actually very informative. I really felt listened to and hear and he helped me out. I will revisit, but maybe go when there is a select deal, like on a Taco Tuesday. This counts for alot in my book. My advice, visit this restaurant but go when they are running a special. read more

Tijuana Flats - To expensive! - Tex-Mex Near Me - Deerfield Beach, Florida

Okay let's talk about the art because obviously it's the first thing you notice when you walk in. From the ceiling to all walls the creativity is amazing. Unfortunately the foods creativity is not so great. The taco salad was served with romaine stems. Very crunchy. Guacamole wasn't fresh..chicken was cut so small it was like I wanted to donate a pack of chicken breast to them. The dressing had chunks of tomatoes in it and it was avocado ranch.. cross contamination?... or na.... Overall you can tell they are cutting cost by the quality of food being served. I have been here several times ; but this time the young lady in the back was very rude . She saw me sit at a table which clearly needed to be cleaned and did nothing. Instead she was eating in the back... The cashier had a great personality, and the managers are always super sweet. Bad hire ? The sauce bar is always as phenomenal as always . Also the prices are just right . $10.99 for this lunch sounds like a perfect deal. Especially for this location, it's competitive. Hopefully I can try something that has a bit more life to it next time . Will be back ! ******LOVE THE RECYCLED BOWLS******* read more

Visited TJ Flats from Los Angeles, CA 'cuz we hadn't had Mexican for 2 weeks while on a cruise (from hell) and were totally impressed. Great personnel made us feel comfortable and welcome; good value for the $$; and most importantly, excellent cooked-to-order dishes. Nice ambiance with creative murals and the best hot sauce bar ever! Hope to visit again before heading for Vegas next week. Viva Tijuana Flats! read more

We always do take out from here lunch or dinner , both are always quick amazing and delicious. Staff is always different but very well trained and nice. Servers are always on the move and smiling. Their food is very fresh, tastes great, very convenient because you can also dine in and outside, and bough space to seat and lots of free parking right in their lot. There's never any homes less hanging out in the front even tho this area could sometimes be a little strange but very pleasant and they always have good clients. read more

Love Tijuana Flats. Anytime we are in an area that has Tijuana, we stop for Taco Tuesday. Can't beat the deal for two tacos, chips and a drink. I always get two hard shell tacos with blackened chicken and everything on it. My kids love them too, even my one son who is normally a picky eater. The nice thing is they give you chips on the side with most orders. They don't have a salsa bar but rather a sauce bar ranging from mild to spicy. We got our food pretty quickly and everyone was friendly. One of the things I love about eating in the restaurant is all the crazy quotes all over the walls. Next time you are inside, read some of the quotes and have a laugh. Or you can sit outside and enjoy the sunshine. Highly recommend! read more

I had a $400 last minute catering order and I have to say, the team did an A+ job. I gave them literally less than a 12 hour notice and my whole team thought I spent weeks planning the event. They even went out of their way to ensure I had the quality and quantity of food needed for 25 hungry construction guys. Bobby was beyond helpful and Nick ensured I knew how to set up the chafer stand kits. These guys and whoever trained them, needs a raise. read more

Love this location! Super quick and staff is always friendly! The quesadilla and sauce bar never misses.

Tyler is the best. We have been to Linton but keep coming back here. The facility is clean, the staff is always very nice, pleasant, and make you feel welcome. Tyler is so nice always smiling, pleasant polite and he is the reason we come down to Deerfield. Tyler is definitely an asset to Tijuana Flats read more

Was suggested I try this place from a roommate of mine about half a year into me living down here in Florida. Coming from Maryland, we had a similar place called California Tortilla and although they may be similar in atmosphere, this place is immensely better in food quality! Two years later, I've eaten at this restaurant (in multiple locations) more times than I can count! If you're a local, you probably already love it, if you're new here or just visiting from out of town, don't pass up the opportunity to stop in and get something. You won't be disappointed! I highly recommend the steak quesadilla or the steak flautas! read more

Food is average. They CHARGE extra for add'l condiments if needed. Of course they dont tell you when you ask for them....Stupid.

Dylan was such a gem! Grade A+ service, answered all my annoying questions and was super welcoming. It's a walk up but one of my favorite fast Mexican food stops! I'm usually not a queso fan but this one is sooooo good. Great happy hour 3-7 mon-fri 2$ beers!!! read more

This location has always been fast, clean and professional! The food is good for tex-me, their guac/queso is really good and i love that their Jalapeños are very spicy. Ive been here quite a few times and couldn't complain but the other day I placed a pick up order and I received my bowl with what seemed to be rotting or old jalapeños. The seeds were completely black and gross. They don't look as dark in my photo but they were black! I'm not that picky so I took them off and ate my meal just fine. Please avoid serving japs like this though. read more

Love the freshness of the food. I ordered online and picked up curbside. The second I pulled up a young lady brought my order out. Everything was there . All and all great experience read more

I'm giving them another star for service... We ordered from here for lunch, this time takeout. Must say I was very happy with their service this time. As soon as we walked in the door we were greeted, and helped immediately. Our order was ready and the girl double checked everything we had ordered was there. Friendly and fast service definitely a plus. This time the guacamole was definitely better than last time and chips were fresh. Oh, and when at the restaurant they have a lineup of sauces for you to choose, from mild to "suicidal". They have a comfortable size restaurant for those who prefer eating there. So 3 ways to try this place: eat in, take out, or delivery. read more

Tijuana Flats - Queso was mild enough for the kiddos - Tex-Mex Near Me - Deerfield Beach, Florida

This is a great lunch type of place with good mexican food & fast /efficient service. Their tacos are better than any I've ever had in Florida. They also have a hot sauce bar - ranging from mildest to hottest! You get to sample any or all of them till you find the ones you prefer, which I must say is quite fun & rare to see! Highly recommended if you're in Deerfeld beach & looking for a quick tasty bite with a kick! read more

We live in LA. So we should be really snobby about Mexican food, right? Probably. But honestly, this is our favorite casual Mexican-inspired (Tex-Mex, whatever you wanna call it) restaurant anywhere - and by a longshot. Whenever we're in SoFla, which is fairly often, we go here at least once. Sometimes two or three times if we're there for a while. I've always loved everything I've gotten here, from the beef tacos to the cheese enchiladas to the queso. The staff is always over-the-top nice and accommodating. I've give this place six stars if I could. My only regret is that they haven't expanded to California yet. One day perhaps. At least we can dream. read more

Why is it so difficult to fund authentic Mexican food in Florida? I am giving this establishment 3 stars based upon the amazing staff and the decent food. The staff is very attentive and super cool. No doesn't seem to be in their vocabulary which is a rarity! The music is a bit loud but does coincide with the loud paint I have had the steak salad which isn't bad with the cilantro ranch dressing and their bean and cheese burrito isn't bad just overpriced. Their tostadas are actually really good and the presentation is really nice. I will come back in to fill the craving while searching for authentic Mexican food... read more

Been a huge Tijuana Flats fan since living in Orlando and going to one of their first locations. Taco Tuesday is my jam! First time at this location and it was pretty close to closing time so it was quiet and clean. The only server/cashier kept us waiting for a while as she chatted outside with some regulars but no big deal. Manager took our order and as usual the food was awesome. I had steak tacos with the tortilla chips and a lot of hot sauce (my fav!). Overall good experience and fantastic tacos. Would eat tacos again... over and over again. read more

The food quality here has never been the issue, constantly good but the service and wait time just plain sucks. One register open with a line to the door and it took 30 minutes to place the order and another 20 plus minutes to get my order which was wrong. Sos by the time I received my food it was almost an hour. No apology except they have a larger order and short staffed today. read more

I love Tijuana Flats. I have been to the Original and at least 7 other locations. I've eaten it all over Florida. And this is the first one I just don't think lives up. First, their employees aren't as helpful as others in the area. I am never really offered free refills here, or at least not as often. The last time I went, the guacamole has browned and tasted seriously wrong. When we returned it, they seemed to know something was wrong because others had complained but 'maybe it just needed more salt.' They did end up switching it out for queso, but if others have had issues, why are you serving it still? Each time i have gone, my quesadilla is one bite of meat, a bite of onion, a bite of black olive, and a bite of sour cream, not mixed at all. some slices lack an entire ingredient all together. I am sad that this is the location close to me for lunch because it means no Tijuana Flats for lunch until this one's quality gets better. read more
