Excellent service. The staff were refilling drinks and cleaning tables quickly. Order takers very friendly. Food came out quickly. Love that this location still has the bumper stickers we all know and love. Shameful that a corporation comes and removes the very fun environment we've grown up with. Don't change this store. Corporate ran through University store destroying that once great atmosphere. Leave them alone. The vibe is what makes Tijuana Flats the best. read more

I like "Taco Tuesdaze. Offer good for two tacos, chips, and a drink for $7.99 on Tuesdays. Additional fees may apply for upgrades." They're not as great as they used to be, it seemed to me. Super fun though to join their app & get other deals with desserts sometimes featured. Best thing at Tijuana Flats is trying the different sauces. I really like that they started in the 1990s, locally, in Winter Park, FL. read more

New Owners? NO thanks! Bring back the old owners please as this place has gone downhill. The portions are a lot smaller, the flautas barely have anything inside them, and the service is slow and non-existent. They used to come around and check to see if you needed refills on your soda pop, but now you're lucky if you even see someone behind the counter. The sauce pumps barely work too. The only thing they really have going for them is their daily specials. It's worth it for that, but anything outside of that is a waste of money these days. read more

We went for the Throwback Thursday menu. I got the steak bowl and my husband for a beef burrito. I probably wouldn't get the steak again it wasn't much. However I had a bite of my husband's beef and it was better so I'd probably get that next time. The cheese sauce is the same as it's always tasted. They have a good portion of chips on the side for the meal. Fellow water drinkers please be advised their bottled water is Dasani. The service was quick. We ordered at the counter and then sat down where they brought our Togo order to us. Inside has colorful artwork and has a gun collage vibe. Overall it's an Orlando classic with good deals. read more

Honestly, this place has gone so far downhill. I ordered my typical chicken nachos and a side of small guacamole. There was probably a bag of cheese on top of the nachos barely any lettuce or tomato and my guac was half full. Honestly it was disgusting You overcharged me for chips and cheese. Just because something is takeout doesn't give you the excuse to half ass people's food. You're so stingy with the sour cream and lettuce yet you put like a pound of cheese on it. read more

We order from here because my wife likes specific food and that is it. I ordered the Brirria tacos and paid like $17 for 3 half dollar size shells filled with dried out meat with no sauce. Also the side of dip your suppose to get looked like a a cup of clear soup with a couple leaves of cilantro. I had to take it and reheat it at home and add my own flavor. Sad food and to think that this food chain is all over the place. read more

The evening of July 3rd, we took the kids out for dinner--we're moving and between packing, cleaning, and just trying to keep three tiny humans alive, convenience is survival. As part of our "Orlando Farewell Tour," we chose one of my favorites: Tijuana Flats. Fun, casual, kid-friendly... they even offer applesauce and apple juice with their kids meals. Perfect, right? We spent around $60--app, entrees, kids meals. Our 2 year old twins were happy, staying in their seats, and our 10 months old was squealing with excitement over his shredded chicken. No tantrums, just the usual baby joy sounds. A college-aged, and clearly undertrained, employee walked up and said: "I'm going to have to ask you guys to try to keep it down. I get they're kids and all, but can you try to keep them quieter please?" I was stunned. We were one of the only table in the restaurant. I truly thought he was joking. But nope--he was dead serious. As someone navigating postpartum depression and anxiety, that moment hit hard. I felt embarrassed, angry, and ashamed. We boxed up our food, left, and I emailed corporate. Maybe nothing comes of it. But maybe--just maybe--another family in a vulnerable moment won't be shamed like we were. Call me crazy, but if your restaurant offers applesauce as a side, maybe don't police the happy squeals of a baby. read more

This particular Tijuana Flats is located on N. Avalon Park Boulevard and is located in a small strip mall next to a Walgreen's. This Tijuana Flats is basically located on the corner of N. Avalon Park Boulevard and Waterford Chase Parkway. With its location, this Tijuana Flats is convenient to both residents of Waterford Lakes and Avalon Park and is not that far off of East Colonial Drive for anyone in the mood for Tijuana Flats and traveling along East Colonial Drive. Tijuana Flats is a chain that coincidentally started here in Orlando, Florida. In addition to their Americanized version of Mexican food, Tijuana Flats also offers a hot sauce bar. Being a huge fan of hot and spicy food, this is a huge plus for me. I called in a takeout order. They gave me a pickup time of about twenty minutes and I headed over. The staff was friendly when I got there and I was on my way in a decent amount of time. I had one of their burrito bowls. I went with the Megajuana, which is their biggest and has double meat. Before I said that their food was an Americanized version of Mexican food. Kind if like a Chipotle, but they do not do an assembly line type build your meal. It is also a bit more than Chipotle, though the food is similar (truth be told, I probably prefer Chipotle over Tijuana Flats). Still, this is a good option if you want a more American take on Mexican food. Overall, I will give them five stars. read more

In a society where customer service has been on the constant decline-- it is SO refreshing to go to a place where they treat you with kindness. I walked in, was acknowledged and greeted by the young lady at the register. I told her I needed to figure out what my mom wanted and she politely told me to take me to take my time. I didn't get her name-- Once I was ready, Anthony took my order. I was a little extra because I was getting these for my mom in Atlanta as she loves TJ Tacos. I asked if they could separate the ingredients like a mini-catering order. I've never had a bad experience at this Tijuana Flats but today was extra lovely because Anthony offered to give me some ice for transportation of the taco goods and he gave my mom his kind sentiments and a courtesy treat as she is dealing with some health issues. I always say "you don't know what people are dealing with so try to be kind and extend grace"-- it was very awesome being on the receiving end of this kindness and it means so much to me-- the smallest gestures leave the biggest impacts. Shout out to Anthony for providing such wonderful service-- truly appreciated! @TJ Flats-- he's a keeper! Give him a bonus and recognition!! Oh-- and my mom's food is perfect-- looks perfect and I'm sure she is going to love it-- Pay it forward!! read more

You've ruined the original food by becoming a chain from the original on University Blvd...Just like Publix did with Crispers-good job. You took away all the good menu items like enchiladas and replaced it with crap items that you think everyone wants. It's the same s* inside. Why can't you order extra tortillas so if someone wants an enchilada and not a taco they can order it. The whole restaurant is about money now. Cool. read more

Some of the worst customer service. Waited for a long time. They forgot our order. I reminded the cashier. She reminded the back. Yet still waited and two more families served before us. Finally told her to cancel and we are leaving. Then the young manager tries to intervene. But when we sat for over thirty minutes waiting for two burritos he didn't care. Previous time, it was 9PM and they wouldn't let us stay as they wanted to close early. Quality has gone down dramatically in customer service. read more

Tijuana Flats in Avalon Park sucks! They constantly screw up the orders! The "LAST" order that we ordered was a chicken quesadilla with tomatoes and extra golden sauce and guacamole, a steak burrito with everything and got a chicken quesadilla with no cheese (except on side) and the steak burrito with everything came out as a chicken burrito with rice. Not happy. Called and they said they were going to refund the order. While in line another gentleman said they had messed his order up also and he told me it happens here all the time. He said to go to the TF by the fashion Mall. I believe that the next time I think I want TF, and willing to chance it, I will travel to the fashion mall site. read more

So I had a review drafted at 4 stars since we frequent this place and haven't been disappointed until recently. I always get the nachos and usually they're quite good. Good portions with lots of toppings. However the past 2 times have been regrettable. The first we dined in during lunch. We had trouble finding the meat and there was literally no queso. I asked to order some more but thankfully the cashier just gave us some which is kind. We also received seemingly the chips at the bottom of the bag since they were all in pieces lol. Then tonight we ordered for pick up and the same thing happened. No queso to be found and like 8 pieces of steak! My bf even made sure to order an extra 1/3 cup of queso but that wasn't in the bag either. This used to be a go to spot for the location and prices but we might not come back since our favorite item is no longer satisfying ): read more

tijuana flats @ 1024 n avalon park, orlando 32828 is the worst in customer service, if i could give this location a big fat 0 i would. i placed an order online for 9.00 and when i got there paid another $3.18 for guac that i never recieved, when i called the store, it took 4 times to reach someone 2x they hung up after saying please hold, the other 2x i was placed on hold for a while. when a gentelman picked up i simply asked whom i was speaking to and he tells me he doesnt have to give me that info. when i explained to him that i was just there to pick up an order he process to go on like it was my fault i walked out without it. i asked him how was i supposed to know that you didnt get it, i was being charged by one and the other worker went to get it. he tells me that he went out there to look for me and i wasnt there, that is a lie because i sat in my car for 5 mins trying to put the address in my gps. he proceeds to argue with me i let him know may i have the managers name and he tells me no again that he doesnt need to give that. i will get to the bottom of this; i asked him how he will correct this and he tells me he will refund it, i ask him how and he says he will and hangs up on me. i have no name no nothing other then the times i called and a reciept. i want the district leader to call me read more

If you had tijuana flats you know what to expect, the food is good. Tex-mex somewhat simplified and also with a hint to lay back fun. I accompanied my wife on her yelp event to try the New Queso crunchy burrito, and I got the beef chimichanga. Both were delicious. Great both in size and flavor. The service was great! Very attentive and understanding of me not hearing well and everyone talking through masks. In the end... Come on is Tijuana Flats its been around this long for a reason right! Food is good service is great, grab lunch and be happy! read more

Tijuana Flats - Aftermath of a great meal - Tex-Mex Near Me - Orlando, Florida

I popped in the other day for a takeout order on NYE. It wasn't very busy, but the service could have been better. I walked in and went to the register area to place my order and there was a young girl doing something on the computer. She seemed busy so I stepped back a bit since she wasn't ready. However, I was never greeted or acknowledged in that time and I stood there a few minutes. She never looked up to say hello, or to tell me it would just be a moment. It was like I wasn't even there. Finally, whenever she was done she asked how she could help me. She was pleasant taking the order, but as an initial interaction it was poor customer service. As for food, it came out relatively fast. I ordered the 2 Double Stacked Beef Tacos meal and an extra side of chips and queso. The Tacos were big. Honestly one taco is equivalent to two so I split the meal with my boyfriend. It was fresh and tasty. I would definitely come back to this location again. I just hope the customer service level at the register's changes a bit. read more

Hmmm. What to do when you've been drinking beers all day??? Get some tacos!! Beers all day definitely mean tacos. Yelp brought me here. I had some delicious chicken tacos in a crispy shell. It had blacked chicken, beans and cheese. Flavors were great and the taco shell was nice and crispy! For a side I had guacamole and chips. Guac was nice and chunky and good for dipping!! Tacos also came with chips, so there was plenty of chips to go around! My friends ordered a burrito, flautas, and enchilada. Everything was enjoyed by all! read more

This is the Location closer to me, and I go there often. I use the app to order to go and so far have had a good experience with them. I also Like the app rewards. We sometimes eat in, the ambience and the service is very good. The only complaint I may have is that sometimes when I order to go, there are no utensils, even when I added on the notes to please put some in. It has happened even when I have rice and beans and need at least a fork. Not biggie tho, but there have been times than I'm not going directly home so it's been challenging, overall the service is good, the food is delicious and comes out fast, the app works.

To start, I have never had a good meal here. Today my boyfriend and I decided to give this place one last shot because usually when we go to this location the food tastes bland, like it's been sitting in the window for 20 minutes, and it always take forever to get your food. Today was just something else... it took 50 minutes for me to get my food, almost an entire hour of just waiting. After 40 minutes I got up and I asked where my food was and they said it'd be right out and they brought my boyfriend his food about 2 minutes later and it, yet again, looked like it had been sitting out for the entire time of us being there and it wasn't hot and of course tasted bland. I just don't get why after sitting there for the first 20-30 minutes they didn't bring us out some chips with salsa or queso or literally anything for the inconvenience. As someone who worked as a waitress for years I totally get things like this happen but like I said it's been every time we go there it's a bad experience. They ended up refunding us for our food and we didn't ask them to do that but ultimately I would just like to pay for my food and have a good meal. I'll be sticking to the Winter Park location moving forward. read more

Taco Tuesday! I enjoy a good taco & Tijuana Flats satisfies my Taco Tuesday urges. Tacos are decent. I really, really wish that they would heat up the taco shells. This is the only taco place that I have visited that does not heat the shells/tortillas. The positive, the burritos are huge, you can have half for lunch & save the rest for dinner. read more

I'm told that the stores all operated the same. I'll be the judge of that! I was promptly greeted at the door and given a menu...no need for that because I was going for that delish bangin' chicken salad. This is salad going to be my heart throb for summer 2014. This time I was in the mood for some guacamole so I added the trio. The sauces were good but having recently had some very fresh queso, salsa and guacamole at a place in Tampa I'd have to say it wasn't as great as I had hoped. All in all, I left a full and happy customer. I shall return....frequently. read more

Awesome food and service!!! I tried the queso crunchy burrito with chicken!! It was very tasty!! They filled the burrito with of course cheese, beans, shredded chicken and tomatoes with other flavorful seasonings. Tex Mex style! I also has the chips with the cheese dip wich was also very good!!

The staff was super nice and the food was prepared fast. We didn't wait long. The prices were pretty good too. I would go back for sure. read more

For the 3rd time, we ordered wings and for the 3rd time, they were raw. This last time, we called them to let them know that this is dangerous. They said that they cook them twice and it is fine to eat if is a little pink. No apologies and no offer to refund. The picture shows a different story with a noticeably raw uncooked center. This is dangerous if eaten so buyer beware! read more

Sadly, this loaction deserves less than 1 star! I'm not sure if the owners or management have changed, but the food quality and service level has taken a turn for the worse. The online order was filled incorrectly, chips were burnt and tasted stale. My order of blackened chicken tacos was missing the chicken and tasted more like a vegetarian taco. My wifes and kids order was also a mess! Did you guys run out of meat and forget the difference between soft and hard shells? Pretty basic stuff... i'm scared to think what else this place may not be doing like maintaining health and safety protocols. Perhaps the kitchen staff needs to retrained on filling orders correctly or coached out of the buisness. This is the second time we've been let down by this location so I felt compelled to write a review. The service level has absolutely dropped! Skip this place until they figure out the issues unless you like eating cardboard chips, lettuce tacos and getting an order that's incorrect. read more

We started ordering from this location every Friday a few months ago. The food was always consistent and tasty. Last month the quality was really declining so we skipped a couple of weeks. Tonight we tried again and will unfortunately not order from this restaurant again. The steak was completely cold like it was directly from a fridge bag. The large order of guacamole was completely streaked with black (not just on top)There were a bunch of crushed up tortilla chips under my salad I guess to hold it in place? We order the same large sides of black beans and refried beans each week. This time someone put a bunch of cheese on top of each, making them sadly inedible for the orderer. The chimichanga and burrito were fine and without a problem. read more

Ordered online. They gave me a pick up time. They were 45 mins late. Forced to wait and screwed up my plans. Avoid online ordering, the system is not accurate and you'll waster your time. Staff doesn't care. Be nice if they were concerned but they couldn't care less. I won't be choosing Tijuana Flats again. read more

Ever since I came here with my boyfriend and friend. I like it here and I don't mind stopping by here if I had the money (college budget here). It's really close by to our new place so I'm happy. Oh yeah, Pokemon Gym over here~ The menu is pretty simple, what kind of protein you want and what do you want in it. I wished there's pictures of each meal category because I know some people never had chimichangas and enchiladas. Also, almost each restaurant makes their nacho bowl differently. I guess if you want to know before hand, look at people's Yelp photos. I really like the chimichangas. I get this all the time. If you want extra sauce like queso, it's .99 cents. The jalapeño is pretty fresh, defiantly gives you a kick. Since I can't handle very spicy (they give you four jalapeños if you want jalapeños), I asked them lightly put them. They give you two which is fine for me. Really like the sour cream layer on the top. You have option getting lightly fried flour or wheat and then sauce (costing 99 cents). They don't tell you that the sauce is extra cost. But it does say on the menu in the corner. I wished they say it out loud just incase people don't want to pay extra. My other friend said the nacho bowl is pretty good. I'll try that next time. I signed up the member club online and got the Tijuana Trio for free. You don't really need to print it out, you can show on the phone. I really like the queso. Maybe it's just that day or not but I thought the guac and salsa was okay. I feel lik the salsa was eh and guac was little bit bland. But getting the trio is pretty good price, I would get it again to see about the guac and salsa again. I really really like Jason's mom sauce. I would pack a lot of them and eat with it. I got pretty full from eating one chimichanga and almost the whole Tijuana trio. If you read my boyfriend's menu, we didn't get full the first time. If you have big stomachs like us, order two meals or one meal and one appetizer. Staff people are really nice and take out doesn't take that long. If you pay cash, like most restaurants do, they throw the recipe away without asking if you want it. So if you want it, ask for it when you pay. read more

So I went with my girlfriend and friend last week for the first time. The place looks cozy and cool. Staff people are nice and patience with you when you're trying to figure out what you want. They will serve the food, you don't need to get up and get it. My friend told me there are sauces in the back to dip with your meal. They all look good; I couldn't just choose two or three. So I took all the medium spicy to the hottest. I really really like spicy. The two highest spicy sauce were really good. If you really really like hot damn spicy, try it out! Sauce doesn't dominate the meal with jalapeños but enough super spiciness in it. The other sauces are good but I really like to something with really really spicy :P My girlfriend and I ordered Chicken quesadilla and chicken & beans chimichanga. We both shared the two meals cuz we had to limit our budget since we just spend a lot money at our new place. But anyways, All meals came with small chips on the side which I like. The chicken quesadilla was pretty good but not fulfilling. I would eat this for lunch or snack unless you have small appetite it eating with other meals. The chicken & beans was really good. We had it with queso over it. Defiantly get queso over it. If you want guacamole, get that too! The jalapeño really adds the kick to it. I didn't need to add extra other sauces to it. I really like how it is. If you eat it with your chips like scooping it up or nacho way, it taste pretty good with it. Try that way and tell me if you like it or not. I really couldn't stop eating it. I wished I actually got the whim meal to myself but I had to give the other half to my girlfriend. Maybe we were really really hungry or it was enough but we weren't full after we are all the food. But we have to keep our budget so we went home after. I'm looking forward to try the other entrees. I really like the chimichanga. Defiantly try that guys! read more

I'm really not a huge fan of Tijuana Flats. It's an overpriced Taco Bell for yuppies who don't want to be seen at Taco Bell. Weather, time constraints and laziness made my family get to-go.

3.5 stars Better than taco bell and not expensive like some authentic Mexican restaurant. The interior looks nice for a fast food and it has a great atmosphere. Service is good and the food is decent when taking into consideration the price. My only complaint is their burritos and tacos always feel cold. My favorite plate there are the chimichangas just because they are fried and comes hot. Also their megajuana (how they call extra meat and cheese) for $1.50 is completely worth it. One of the few place where you pay for extra things and you actually get it. read more

I came here based on Yelp reviews, and boy am I glad I did! The hubs and I are in Florida for business and fun, he's busy today so I got to roam around, where better to than go get some Tex Mex? Mexican food is fast becoming comfort food to me. There were ample parking when I arrived around lunch time. I was a little confused when I first came in because there weren't anyone at the counter and no one spoke with me. I finally saw a sign that says to grab a menu, order at the counter then find a seat to sit down. Phew, that wasn't so hard! I got the guacamole and chips, and chicken flautas. Too bad they didn't have horchata. The girl at the counter was super sweet and nice, she gave me the chips and guac on the house just because I said it was my first time there! I was stoked! After sitting down, my appetizer came quickly, the guacamole tasted refrigerated so I don't think it was made to order but prepared probably hours before. Since it's free I can't complain about free! The chicken flautas were pretty good, it's not like what I had in college but the chicken was flavorful. It had a warm dipping sauce that was good but I don't really know what it is! All in all I had a lovely meal, the atmosphere is lively and laid back, lots of regulars, the price is really affordable, my meal was $9 something including taxes and tip. The wifi is nice and strong (and free!) too. This place also has tons of sauces for sauce enthusiasts! I gave it 3 stars because it's not the sort of Mexican food I'm used to, being from Cali and all, but having said that, the service is 5 stars and beyond. read more
