Pricing is okay, three dollars a taco. If you order less than five they automatically add fifty cents for sauce. I went with three tacos so my total after tax and the salsa surcharge was just over ten dollars. I also thought it was a bit strange that they use paper plates and wrap them in plastic wrap instead of your more traditional takeout container. The tacos themselves were good. Overall, a decent for tacos.

Why does it look like ground up eggs or something? AND WHY DID IT SMELL LIKE CAT FOOD? Lowering my review to 2 stars from 4, because clearly this place is not a place I ever want to set foot in again. I honestly think I only gave it a 4 for the drinks last time.... So I guess if you just want Mexican drinks... it is fine? For food, I would go elsewhere. Edit: Just read the reviews on google, and the owners responses have made me decide to drop my review to 1 star. I can't believe I gave people this horrible and rude my money.

The tables in the booths are too short for the booth length and the tables were all dirty.

The restroom was all the way in back of restaurant down a grungy dirty hallway ... with the door to the kitchen looking dirty and the back door of restaurant was open with some kind of plastic or garbage bag over it. Not a very good impression if you need to go to the restroom. The iced tea is clearly made with tapwater and you can taste that.

Tijuana Flats, 10 E. New Haven Avenue, Suite 103, Melbourne, Florida 32901…read more 4-Stars (Chain Restaurant Rating) Amazingly, prior to this review I had never patronized a Tijuana Flats, although I have been seeing them around Central Florida for the past 20 or 30 years and would sometimes have vague malnoia that I might be missing out on something good. Tijuana Flats falls into an interesting category of not fast food and not sit down. In 1995, Brian Wheeler--at the time, just a taco-loving college student--borrowed some money from his dad to open the first Tijuana Flats in Winter Park, Florida. It has since grown to 123 locations in four states, three of them in the Melbourne area. In addition to their quick casual food, they have a large assortment of fun hot sauces of varying intensities you can sample at the hot sauce bar. Find one you can't live without? You can purchase one or more bottles to bring home some heat and spice up your life. Jovi is our food facilitator, and she is wonderfully charming and helpful. If you are tired of burgers and want some exciting great tasting food, I'd advise you to try the following: Garlic Lime Shrimp Bowl with well-seasoned sauteed shrimp, cilantro lime rice (cooked correctly), black beans, poblano peppers and onions, corn salsa, garlic lime sauce, guac, queso fresco, cilantro cabbage and pickled red onions. A truly delightful offering. Cheesy Steak Flautas, two lightly fried tortillas with marinated steak, fajita pepper and onions, garlic lime sauce and cheese. Served with queso, pico, guac, sour cream, and jalapeños. A dish that was prepared quickly and tasted great. The Big Boy says, "Craving fast Mexican? Forget Taco Bell, run to Tijuana!"

I ordered two beef burritos and chips with queso, yet I received two rice bowls with chicken instead. This mistake is unacceptable, especially because this is not the first time my order has been incorrect.

At this point, I will no longer be patronizing Bubbakoo's Burritos. I will also be leaving a negative review on social media and advising my friends and followers to avoid this location due to the ongoing issues with order accuracy. I am extremely disappointed and expected much better service.

El Chico Mexican Restaurant 1751 Evans Rd., Melbourne, FL 32904…read more 3 Stars (chain restaurant review) With origins dating back to a Texas county fair in 1926, El Chico Mexican Restaurant has been around for quite a while. In 1926, Alelaida "Mama" Cuellar's tamales were a massive hit at the county fair. Two years later, they opened their first restaurant in Kaufman, TX. The 11th opened in Six Flags Over Texas and is credited with introducing Mexican food to the American masses. In 1940, Mama Cuellar's children opened the first El Chico Cafe in Dallas, TX. Susan was my outstanding service professional for the meal. I asked Susan for an order of their Chorizo Tacos, a Grande Pollo Burrito and a side of chips and salsa. Susan brought my order out in no time and after snapping a few pics, I got to work. I always wonder if cooks smell the ingredients before they start using them OR do they smell them, realize they are not so fresh anymore, and think the dining public won't notice? Either way, this cook deserves strong jobation for this dish. The Chorizo meat was not good; it wasn't rancid, but if you opened the walk-in, I wouldn't be surprised if it was seen beating up the tomatoes as it was undoubtedly turning bad. Moving on to the Grande Pollo Burrito - the hero of this meal. Even though the chicken was a tad on the rubbery side (my guess is heated up in the microwave, but I could be wrong), the rice, beans and other fillings were excellent. While a bit chewy, the chicken was fajita-flavored and served with a beautiful chipotle wine sauce. The rice was cooked to perfection and the frijoles rancheros were succulently seasoned. If the chicken hadn't been nuked, it would have been fantastic. This brings me to what passed as chips and salsa in this cuchara grasosa. Please look at that pic and tell me that's not a cup of ketchup with a smattering of spice sprinkled in. It sure as Texas didn't taste like salsa. The chips were OK, but the salsa was not. Big Boy says, " 20 years ago, this was fantastic Tex-Mex. Today? Too much top-notch competition makes this yesterday's chimichangas."
