    I literally ordered beef nachos with extra cheese. What did I get??? No cheese on nachos.
    Shyla B.

    I never leave reviews, esp bad ones but I won't go back to this location. Ordered nachos with extra cheese. Basically got chips with a little lettuce, barely any beans and no cheese!

    Free extra beer!? Sure! I came to Tijuana Flats with my husband and ordered a draft beer. The beer I got had maybe 1.5 inches of foam on it (which I'll be honest is 100% fine with me), but the gentleman who served me the beer said he would bring me a little more out when he changed the keg to make up for it. He ended up bringing me another full beer for absolutely free. A great experience and will definitely be coming back to enjoy some of the daily specials and of course more beer! 10/10!

    Hard Dos Tacos Chips and Guac
    Judy N.

    A friend recommended this place and I had huge concerns but we heard about the origin story and was trying to keep open minded. The different sauces are fun but the guacamole was NOT great (like a paste?? definitely not fresh). My friend had the burrito (should've stuck with that since that seemed fine), they charged us for extra rice which we didn't order but only discovered after eating the burrito and checking the receipt. Oh well. They do have some outdoor seating and were nice to come bring out the food after ordering at the counter.

    Wilted and soggy toppings

    I walked in around 5pm and knew that it would be the start of that family dinner time rush. However, I didn't expect a quick service restaurant to take 20 minutes. Okay, okay I can get over that. I had time, not that big of a deal. Pros: They played good music, there was plenty of room to wait and it was visibility clean. The quesadilla (kids meal) was huge and also delicious. Cheesy goodness oh yahhhhh! Cons: The issue? I got home and my entire order was wrong. I checked the receipt to see if maybe I ordered something wrong but it only had the generic item listed. There's no way I made a mistake on everything. Plain chimichanga and loaded burrito? Nope- they were switched. Chicken quesadilla- nope, got a cheese one. The guacamole was pretty flavorless (but not bad) and the serving is super small. Just a heads up. The toppings for the quesadilla were pretty icky looking and the chips were stale. Extremely underwhelming. I'm hoping to reach out to the manager/owner and give my feedback as well. I didn't want to call this evening because they were slammed. I've only been here once before so I'm hoping that this was just an off night. Eta: maybe I should've checked Yelp reviews before going in this last time/ YIKES! There seems the a trend for sure. That's such a bummer!!

    Beef flautas

    To begin with The service here is phenomenal! Everyone's so friendly and helpful. Food, maaaaan it was so delicious! We got the steak flautas which I totally recommend.

    Salad with chicken and ranch dressing
    Joyce L.

    First time at Tijuana Flats even though I've eaten it for takeout...location was good and we sat outside. Didn't have to wait too long since I ordered a salad and my husband the chicken burrito. Service was good but the food was nothing special...as mentioned I've eaten the food before but it's the first time out and the food was just ok...not much beef in my salad and not enough chicken in the burrito. We'll probably go to another location in the future to see if another location would be better.

    Chicken Flautas
    John B.

    To be completely honest after three separate visits I'm just not a big fan of Tijuana Flats. The food is mediocre at best and is just a more expensive Taco Bell in my opinion. I'm a fan of Flautas but each time I get them from this restaurant they're just bland and not as crispy as I'd prefer. The staff is very pleasant and very friendly to work with. I've never had a bad experience with customer service, and since the entrance is not automatic the staff has always held the door without prompting them. All in all if your a mediocre Tex-Mex fan then you'll enjoy Tijuana Flats...I give the food a solid three stars.

    A horribly made fish taco.
    Derek B.

    Absolutely horrible fish tacos. The fish was soggy and not fried all the way. The taco was assembled with tortillas that were never cooked before making the taco. Tortillas fell completely apart, and ended up being a mushy fish taco salad. 4 words that should never go together. Too expensive for the quality it is. I cant even phone in an order. Waste of time and money.

    I enjoyed Tijuana's spicy chicken tinga chimichanga! It had a nice kick and crunch. It was accompanied with lettuce and all of the fixings along with fresh tortilla chips. It was yummy to my tummy!

    Hot sauce bar.
    Samuel Q.

    I've been to this place for the last 7+ years. It has not disappoint once. The staff is always friendly the management is great. Parking can be a little challenging at times depends LN the time of the day. Guacamole is perfect. They do have a hot sauce bar. The service is quick and the staff is friendly. The tea is always fresh. Alcoholic drink are for sale.

We're obsessed with both the green salsas. They also give you a warm red salsa and a spicy/smoky one. For our mains, I got the eggs, chorizo, and potatoes with a side of smoked bacon. My husband got the migas al carbon (breakfast tacos) with chicken. Both are served with your choice of tortillas and refried beans. Dang, their beans are good and I'm not usually a fan of them. They got our toddler's seal of approval, too. Our server was the sweetest and she even brought out a complimentary house made popsicle for our son at the end of the meal. He loved it! We'll for sure be adding Superica into our brunch rotation!

I ended up ordering the Wildberry Mule and requested it to be less sweet. The bartender recommended the boom boom sauce on any of the entrées, so I chose the Boom Boom Chicken Enchilada.

It was the perfect amount of food, and I really enjoyed it. The boom boom sauce was pretty spicy, but really good. I did think the price was a little high for what I got, but overall it was a good dinner. The service was excellent.

Although a little different in decor, every Chuy's has the hand painted swimming fish, the hubcap ceiling, and the shrine to Elvis which was a fixture of the original store. I had a great first Chuy's experience with my girlfriend Holly in Pembroke Pines. On a recent trip to visit my daughter in Winter Park we passed Chuy's in Lakeside Crossing and remembering how much I liked it, I suggested we dine here for dinner. In addition to the multiple dining rooms, they also have outside patio seating. We were seated in my favorite room, the dog one. If you bring in a picture of your pup you can get a free appetizer so the walls are covered with pictures of people's dogs. This room also worked out best for us because it had two TV's and we could watch the Super Bowl. We started off with their complimentary chips that come with a spicy salsa fresca and a Chuy's signature item, creamy jalapeño dressing. It started out as a dressing and it is now a dip with a following. You can even purchase it to take home with you. Two dips can never be enough so we also ordered the queso that is a beloved menu item for good reason. The menu has a number of Tex-Mex favorites like burritos, tacos, and fajitas. Chuy's is especially known for their large portions. They also make all of their own tortillas and sauces. You can customize how spicy you want your food by pepper choice and sauce. I ordered my favorite steak burrito with double rice, no beans. I replaced the spicy hatch chili sauce with the creamy deluxe tomatillo recommended by our server. It was chef's kiss. My daughter and her boyfriend said they really liked their food too and with the large portion size, ended up having leftovers to take home with them. I love the quirky decor, value, and tasty food. We were in the mood for filling meal with a casual vibe and Chuy's hit the spot.

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.

Queso dip is one of the sides you can get with the kids meal. How amazing is that? We go to some Mexican restaurants and I spend more on queso for this child than I do on a meal for him or even myself. He had the cheese quesadilla with queso and rice as sides. After lunch, I asked him if we could come back here and he said oh yes! My son ate most of his meal, but grandma and I both ended up taking to go boxes. I feel like the prices are pretty reasonable, especially the kids meal and for the portions they give you even for the adult meals. Our server was absolutely wonderful. She brought out fresh chips and salsa almost immediately, and as soon as our chips started to run low, she immediately replaced them. As soon as we ordered, I asked if she could bring my son's queso first and she gladly obliged. It was a very hot day and she kept our drinks full. We will definitely be back.
