    Hot sauce bar
    Jessica W.

    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.

    This is just the cheese. I had to remove it. It was about an inch thick, barely any chicken.

    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.

    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.

    There's hardly anything in my daughters quesadilla! They suck always

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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!

    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. Recommended.

    Needed to have a quick mexican fix and Tijuana Flats does a nice job providing fresh product. Tex-Mex that cares about the freshness of ingredientes. There food and variety of hot sauces are very good if you want something quick that is fresh and not fast food. I want to give a shout of to the staff for their hospitality and positive attitude

    It's official we are no longer eating at Tijuanna Flats. I tried eating in because when we order to go the food is cold but wasn't any better eating in yesterday. Was not pleased with the food at all. Very disappointed.

    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! The combination sounds a little strange but trust me on this one...it is absolutely incredible and is now my go to every time I go! 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.
