    I came here looking for what is considered one of the best hot sauces in the city. What to dip in my hot sauce? I ordered the flautas, I don't remember what kind, probably steak. But man, I love Tijuana Flats. I got not only my delicious, crispy flautas, but also a mess of chips, a huge tub of nacho cheese, a huge tub of salsa, and three generous dollops of gauc, sour cream, and pico. This was true value. I ate every bit of what was on my tray and was actually much more satisfied than I thought I was going to be. And yes, the hot sauce was really good. Being an amazing local chain that relies on consistency and quality in this city that is over-saturated with Hispanic food options, I feel like all reviews should be five stars or one star. Did I get what I was expecting? In this case, yes, five stars for this Flats, and I will continue to make this local chain one of my routine places I visit.

    Tijuana Flat is located in a plaza so parking was a breeze. Store had fun wall art and overall a chill vibe. Came for Taco Tuesday (2 tacos for $6.99) and got the steak tacos (+$1). The tacos were decent sizes. Steak was well seasoned and the veggies were refreshing - just want it's supposed to taste like but what's more to praise is the service. The staff here was very friendly and was very accommodating as to customizing your order. The garlic shrimp bowl was pretty delicious as well; shrimps were really juicy. Will definitely visit again!

    My first time! And look, I love it spicy and having a Hot Sauce Bar, geez that already makes me happy. I had Dos Tacos (Steak); one soft and one hard shell. Man, they hit the spot. And then I enjoyed the various hot sauces and it elevated my experience. Also the service was wonderful, taking good care of us. And let me tell you about the wall paintings. Just awesome. This place is worth the visit and environment. Enjoy!!

    Taco Tuesday is what brought us here. The white queso will keep us coming back! We tried the chicken burrito bowl, the soft and crunchy tacos but the hit of the day was the shrimp quesadilla, it was excellent!

    Food came out quickly and was good. My favorite is the Steak Dos Tacos. Staff was very sweet and attentive. AJ was probably one of the sweetest servers I've met. She shared her favorite sauce selection with us and brought it over. They brought out water for our dog, asked us if we wanted refills, and even offered us a bag of chips to go. We went on a Monday evening and it was very relaxed. Cool murals cover the walls. Great place to grab a bite.

    Recently rediscovered the joy of Tijuana Flats. Nice oversized overstuffed tacos, not cheap with the meat. We like em. And the sauces, wow, so many to choose from. Take away's worked out easily enough; ordering online and picking up.

    Ah ha! I finally went to this place. On my way home from work I used to tell myself i'm going to try that out. Fast forward to today I'm here (5+ years). Smh lol This was no disappointment whatsoever.? My friends went to, "Charley's" when I decided to take advantage of my first time. Decor fits the name. Customer service tremendous good. The cashier was "pretty" and very helpful for "first timer". The hot bar was definitely a HELL nah lol that sign was enough. I don't like "extremely hot" anything. lol Well l went with a classic burrito. The chips Best tasting ever. I shall return and I think you should try it or if you're a regular "do your usual issh". *Forgot my queso*

    As I have mentioned in my other Tflats reviews. Their success lies in their consistency. No matter which store you enter you know you will get a warm welcome, good service, and basic good tex mex food. This particular location is fairly large inside, even though it may not look that way from the outside. They have plenty of options in their menu. Even for those with some food allergies. For me, I am currently enjoying their new enchiladas, colorful, flavorful and plenty of food to keep you satisfied. A pretty good value proposition.

    Came here on Taco Tuesday and got the 2 taco, chips, and drink special. Good bang for your buck. Everything was solid. Service was super friendly and helpful. Place was a little busy - but they were on point with the customer service and keeping the place clean. Would have gone 4 1/2 stars if available.

    Great Mexican food! After a Yelp Event here I decided to take home some of the Chicken Chimichangas from here. They were great! I wouldn't say I'm a Mexican food expert but they tasted pretty authentic. That queso is like crack. I'm also a huge fan of their hot sauces here. I think their hot sauce bar is such a genius idea. That's how I discovered how much I love Jason's Mom (That's the name of the hot sauce... for real). I was helped behind the counter by Britney, who is one of the kindest people you will ever meet, and discovered that it was her who was the first to try Jason's Mom a few years back when a stranger just walked into another TFlats location and tried to sell it. I'm very grateful to her for that. Ended up getting a whole case the hot sauce. Aaron, the manager, was amazing and gave me a really nice discount. They hire really quality people here. Overall, since moving to Orlando from New York, Tijuana Flats has been my go-to place for Mexican Food. It's constantly good quality stuff here. The employees are beyond great at this location specifically. The aesthetic is always really creative and artistic no matter what location you go to. It's a really fun vibe. Check it out, you won't regret it.

    Always a reliable meal if you're craving tex mex foods with great hot sauces! Love the beef bowls and the flautas!

    Everyone knows that I LOVE tacos and everyone knows that I LOVE Tijuana Flats! This time of year is my favorite because its turkey time! Hit up this location to try out the new Turkey Chorizo (ground turkey with chorizo seasoning) in some of their menu items. Loved it even more than the turkey they had last year. One of these days they are going to keep it on the menu for good (hint hint, wink wink). I got to try out the hangover burrito and it was everything I hoped for an more. Definitely couldn't do this one on a regular basis, but definitely great as a hangover cure. We had it with turkey, but you can get it with any of the meets they have. And as always the staff was super friendly and helpful! :)

    We love this chain and all its locations. We made it a point to go two times in six days during our visit - so we obviously miss them! I always get the two tacos with beef and refried beans and a side of queso for the chips. The tacos are filled up to the perfect level and the toppings always taste fresh. The queso just perfect for the chips (note: if you are with someone and want to both get sides of queso - just do the queso appetizer since it's cheaper). Normally we also get some of the cookie dough flautas to finish off our meal, and they are amazing. Fingers crossed this chain starts opening locations towards the west coast soon! Overall: A+ Always friendly service, quirky environment, hot sauce bar, fresh food. Perfection!

    Disclaimer: this review is for the lunch buffet only…read more I went with my family to try the $18.49 all you can eat lunch buffet. This was my first time experiencing a buffet for hispanic food and for this price point in Orlando, this is an amazing value deal. The server regularly brought us out silverware, napkins, and refilled our water. The place is decorated very fun and plays latin music which was lovely Not only was there an unlimited assortment of lunch foods, but an entire bar of fresh toppings for tacos (or rice bowls) and made to order desserts which were included for free! Not everything on the buffet line was the best but given the amount of options, price, and how good the great items are this is still worth a five star rating. I unfortunately did not take pictures of the food before I began devouring everything in sight to the point of near-collapse, but I will do a quick rundown of the buffet highlights: The best meats were the fajita steak, chicken, and shrimp made fresh in cast iron skillets, as well as the chicken lengua which was super flavorful and tender. The mexican rice, beans, fajitas, plantains, and street corn were also excellent. Fresh quesadillas, chips, and corn tortillas on standby with homemade queso and salsas. The flan and mini churros were the best I've ever had. Super rich, decadent Carmel flan. Mini churros hot and crisp on the outside, filled with a gooey soft milk chocolate center. They were delicious. Items that were disappointing: the tamales, mini chicken flautas, and beef chimichangas were just okay, lacking the seasoning and flavor that other dishes had. The beef barbacoa was not as tender or flavorful as the shredded chicken surprisingly. The mixed seafood was itself a mixed bag with some shrimps / scallops overcooked to much while others were perfectly cooked. The chicken mole and beef tri tip were room temperature despite sitting on hot plates. The tri tip also varied widely in doneness throughout the slices and not super tender. The rice pudding was pretty standard, and the tres leches cake was weird as they crumbled the cake into pieces before soaking it.

    Food was terrible ! Carnitas has pork taint . Not only that my taco was dripping this putrid fat !…read moreI nearly threw up after one bite , but was on a date so kept it on the down low . ASADA- almost as bad . Dry no juice at all chunks is grizzle . Prime rib tacos ... are you JOKING ? Some cheap cut of beef not cut on the bias and stringy . Sangria ? Go ahead , drink five pitchers and you'll be fine to drive( other than puking ) no alcohol at all in the sangria . Only ok things were the guac and refried beans ... that's it .

    Solita has become my pre-Dr Phillips show ritual! I love coming here for food and a drink or two…read morebefore a show. However, I would recommend leaving some extra time because my experience has varied in terms of speed of service. Make sure you know what you want to order if you're going to a show and be ready. The guacamole appetizer is very good but we didn't realize it had pineapple on top and one of the members of our party is allergic. The carne, corn, and spinach quesadilla is to die for!

We both loved the blueberry citrus martini - it is so refreshing and packed a punch!

    I love when Cinco De Mayo comes each year - tacos and tequila are two of my favorite things!…read moreHowever, one thing I do not love is long wait times for seating. This year I told my honey the only way I would go out was if we found a place that excepted reservations. In return, I accepted that it was most likely not going to be an extraordinary, authentic, or a gem of a place. My first experience at Solita turned out to be what I manifested. Upon entering the restaurant, vibes were in full effect. No mariachi band as I would have hoped, but the but the energy in the room was happy and festive. They had a DJ providing music, but it was so loud that when our waitress read us their specials, I literally told her I could not hear her. She did greet us with salsas, chips, and these little wheels I read a lot about. They had a similar texture to a chicharron and were simply delightful! Probably my favorite component I sampled all night. Since I had never been to Solita, I checked out Yelp to do my research. One thing I was excited to try was their "Duckie Frozé". It had Rosé, fruit purée, frozen margarita with your choice of flavor: watermelon, pomegranate, or guava. Adorning the top of the drink was a darling little rubber duckie. There are TONS of pictures of this drink on Yelp. Much to my surprise, my drink arrived with NO DUCK. When I asked the waitress about it, she shrugged it off said they "don't do that anymore". It may sound like a small thing to be disappointed about, but really that was just the start. Luckily, Cinco was on Tuesday this year, so we were able to order from the "Taco & Tequila Tuesday" discounted menu. We started off with the Grilled Corn Elote which is served tableside. I thought this would be cool, but it wasn't. It was a bit painful watching the waitress struggle to shave the corn off. I almost wanted to offer help! After all that, the corn was just ok. I personally think the Elote I make at home is better. Thankfully this was on the Tuesday Menu also making it only $5. While perusing their selections prior to going, I felt that their taco prices were a bit steep. They have two types of taco sizes. The Street Tacos looked itty bitty with next to nothing on them. They do have a lot of flavor choices (11), and you get 3-4 tacos for about $20. Glad I saw photos of these on Yelp beforehand. Then they have Tacos Locos. They are described as "One large taco" when in fact they are just regular sized tacos overflowing in toppings. Just ONE Tacos Locos costs about $15! I think the pricing is loco, and based off what we'd tried so far, I was certain to only order from the Tuesday menu. We were able to get a Shrimp Chicharron for $6 and a Vampiro (Chicken or Carnitas) for $8. The shrimp one was appetizing. I even remember thinking after the first few bites that I should have just gotten two of those. Then I tried a piece of chicken from my Vampiro. It was a piece of straight fat that I immediately spit out. That pretty much killed it for me, and I didn't even eat anymore of the Vampiro or anything else for that matter. The positives of the evening included: -Getting into a spot to celebrate on Cinco De Mayo -The food came out quicker than expected based on the reviews -Trying a new restaurant and learning that it's nowhere I will be returning to or recommending. Knowledge is power.

    San Jose's is a wonderful Mexican restaurant located in a strip mall just north of Lake Buena Vista…read morein the southern part of Orlando. I believe they have several locations in the area, and this is a newer one with very welcoming and modern interiors. They have wonderful daily specials and various happy hour periods that extend from 2 to 10 PM, including $3 tacos from 8 until 10 PM. Meals start off with complimentary chips and salsa (4.5/5), which are happily refilled upon request. We tried a variety of tacos (5/5) which were incredibly fresh and flavorful. The vegetarian San Jose's fajita bowl (4.5/5) was tasty and served in a generous portion that is ideal for sharing. The cheese quesadilla (5/5) hit all the fresh flavor notes without the cheese being too sharp in taste. The churros (5/5) were the perfect dessert, having a slightly crunchy exterior and softer core as you bit into it. We loved the food and atmosphere so much that we visited twice the same week while visiting the Orlando area. Service (4.5/5) was excellent on our first visit, and slightly slower on our 2nd visit, but still incredibly friendly with management checking in on customers to make people were enjoying their meals. Overall, I'd rate the food and experience a 4.5/5, but happy to round up since San Jose's is right up my alley for an ideal Mexican meal that is delicious and doesn't gouge you with prices like other restaurants tend to do. I'll gladly return on future trips to the Orlando area and will be recommending them to others, as San Jose's would crack my rotation of a Mexican restaurants I'd regularly visit if I lived locally.

The staff was friendly and prompt, despite being a busy night. Try at your own risk. We won't be back.
