Food: good. It comes out fresh to my liking. I have no issues. We also ordered chicken tacos. They brought back the sauce bee sting so that's amazing! Service: they said it would be a 20min wait but it didn't take long. I will say there isn't enough staff for Tuesday night when they have a deal. Ambiance: cute location with indoor and outdoor dining. Nice artwork on the walls read more

The College Park Tijuana Flats was one of my family's go to restaurants as the kids were growing up. The food was good, the portions were generous, and the service was friendly. Unfortunately, that was a long time ago. Last night, my girlfriend and I stopped in at about 6:45 PM on the way back from the airport. The restaurant was effectively empty; there were maybe two people seated and eating. I ordered a blackened chicken burrito and my girlfriend had a burrito kids meal. We sat down outside and waited. And waited. And waited. After 20 minutes I went back in and after standing at the counter for a few minutes, stuck my head into the back and asked where my order was. I was told that the chicken needed to be cooked longer because I asked for blackened. Five minutes later, the food was brought to us. My burrito was mostly filled with rice and cheese and not a lot of that long cooking chicken. My girlfriend's burrito was cold; obviously prepared before the extra 15 minutes it took to cook the chicken. It's a shame. I really used to like this place. read more

This is a chain restaurant that I'm reluctant to recommend but this College Park shop was running efficiently and the food was decent. Most of the food is prepped offsite so "fresh made" isn't likely but it tasted fine. Nice staff with counter service and most food delivered to the table in plastic baskets so it's not upscale but quick and priced ok. Salsa names on the salsa bar and walls painted as street art give it a Mexican beach bar vibe. It's good. read more

We always have an amazing experience at CP Tijuana Flats! The atmosphere is welcoming, the restaurant is spotless, and the food was fresh, hot, and full of flavor. Everything was made exactly how I like it, and the hot sauce bar is always a fun bonus. A huge shoutout to manager Rachel -- she truly made the visit exceptional. Rachel was friendly, attentive, and clearly cares about both her team and the guests. It's rare to see a manager so hands-on and genuinely invested in making sure everyone has a great experience. read more

I decided to stop by with my girls and was so glad we did! The staff was so nice and the place was clean! Super cute drawings on the wall!

Tijuana flats is my favorite and I'm always happy when a location gives great service and food to keep it as my favorite. Will be back, definitely recommend read more

I would give this place -0 stars if I could. I came in here at 7:45 PM asking for two tacos. I saw that they were a little bit busy before ordering and I asked the lady how long it would take for me to get my food she said it would take 5 to 10 minutes. I reluctantly ordered my food and 45 minutes later. I got my tacos. This is an absolute outrage, especially because I have a son who is eight years old and it was right in the breakfast bedtime and he needed to go to bed. I would call the manager if I could and give them my Venmo complaint, but the website itself is a nuisance to go through to get any sort of information or a complaint through. I would save my self the energy and go to this place because everybody who works, there is completely incompetent. I don't even get me started on the ambience. Everyone looks pissed off because they take so long with their food that everyone looks pissed off . read more

Was there for pickup at about 5pm. Went to use the men's room while I waited for my order. FILTHY! And no soap. Get it together.

Waited a while for my food and they even forgot my chips, ass service and no urgency. 3-4 people were waiting for food pickup and we all were getting tired of it. read more

Had the banging chicken burrito. Worst thing I ever ate. The cashier came to check and asked how was it, told her I didn't like it at all. She apologized and 10 minutes later came back, saw I had dissected the burrito in search of something I could eat and asked if I wanted anything else. Unfortunately, my appetite was ruined and I declined the offer. I disliked the flavor of the hot sauce on the burrito, also when I opened it up, the cheese was unmelted, it wasn't hot. I also felt that it was unusual to have to pay for a simple tomato salsa...1.99. There was a tremendous selection of hot sauces that were free on the wall. The chips were fresh and tasty with the salsa. They also had about 5 Mexican beers but no Modelo although it waa on the menu. I had an ice cold Corona. I would not return, but saw a lot of people come with their family and solo that seemed to enjoy their food. Maybe I just had a bad dish. read more

We went on Taco Tuesday for lunch. My mom and sister come in from Ocala every 3 or 6 months for an eye appointment at Magruder. We always go to Taco Tuesday or sometimes burrito Thursday depending on which day. We got there just before the main lunch crowd at around 11:45 and had nice seats. Service was excellent. I ordered two soft tacos and a trio of queso salsa and guac for the table. And they both had tacos. The trio is very small cups and not really set for a table for three. Maybe next time I'll get a large queso instead. Mom had a soft and hard taco. Her complaint was that the hard taco as soon as she bit into the shell it totally fell apart and made a mess. I've noticed on my tacos that they have really cut back on the quantity of filling. The last time we were here we had the burritos and I felt like I was mostly eating air. Not much filling then either. It's really hard to beat the price of Taco Tuesday or burrito thursday. But I was still hungry when I left and had to get something else to eat. read more

The waiter was very nice, but the food made me sick immediately after eating it. I ordered the steak flautas.

Got the coupons from Orlando Pride, buy 1 entre and get a free taco. We opted to get the 3 taco entrees. Steak was an upcharge of course, but they have a pleural of sauce options OVER 10 SAUCE OPTIONS!! What a great atmosphere provided by a very welcoming and courteous staff. Staff informed us of Taco Tuesday and Throwback Thursday specials for 8 bucks. Come check them out you'd be surprised to see what's on the ceiling. read more

Food and service are very good for the price. Extremely convenient for me to walk to, which I really appreciate.

I love Tijuana flats, but this location takes forever to get your food out. I ordered one order of quesadillas, with no meat, no drink, and no side. I waited 25 minutes for them to bring it out. It was not even that busy either since I was the only one sitting inside and they were only three tables full outside. read more

Always looking for new "Taco Tuesday" spots and I have been overlooking Tijuana for awhile. Finally decided to stop by one on edgewater and I was very happy with that choice.

3 Stars for the Tex Mex chain's College Park location. All-in-all, it's pretty tasty and the location is great, but I can't get past the levels of salt and how I feel afterwards... Yup, we've all been there. Full bellies and then a few hours later--- REGRET. I know this isn't how I feel whenever I eat tacos because I have a few favorite local spots where I could eat 3 of their little tacos and feel fine. Yes, the TFlats tacos are MUCH bigger. Yes, they are also cheaper. And yes, you will be spending time holding your belly and moaning after eating here. It's not that the food has gone bad though. It's more a reflection of my palate over time. In college, TFlats was the dream. I am never really down for "fast food," but a TFlats taco felt like home cooking. With that being said, My palate has matured and when I returned recently, I could barely eat the chips because they were so heavily seasoned. I love seasoning with flavor, but the salt left me feeling dehydrated all day. What I do dig though is their sweet sauce. It's delicious and I usually ask for to-go ramekins so I get more for something else at home. Am I convincing you of my "thriftiness" yet? If you are going to go, be sure to do BOGO on Tuesdays and bring a tough stomach! read more

As a fairly recent resident of Orlando, I have been getting my fix at Tijuana Flats regularly. I have visited several of their locations and for the most part they are pretty much the same. Good food, good service at a good price; a winning combination. This review is specifically for their College Park location. Here's the one thing that I really appreciate from any establishment - consistency. Tijuana Flats delivers in a huge way. No matter what day of the week, what item I order, what time of the day I visit; service is always outstanding and the food is good. There is no rocket science here, just plain good food, at a good price with pleasant service. Bonus star for having the option to make just about every item in the menu a vegetarian meal. For what it's worth, except for Taco Tuesdaze when the taco deals are amazing and too good to pass, I usually order the black bean quesadilla with no dairy and it is not just good, but totally guilt free. read more

I've just been able to make my first visit to this new Tijuana Flats at the corner of Edgewater and Princeton, in downtown College Park. It was great just as I expected. An added advantage Tuesday is Taco Day $4.99 for two taco's and a drink. It was really nice on the patio. read more

Food was a good substitute for the more expensive foods in disneyworld. Just wanted something simple for lunch that day. Got the chimichunga with chips and tried all the sauces. Even the hot ones not too spicy. 4 of 5 cause the soda machine was down at a sauce bar. Got cup water instead. Same price. Had leftovers. read more

Love the Tuesday taco special here. Great location, and a nice seating area outside that's sort of modest and humble. Nice to just relax and enjoy the outside. Food is always good, and friendly staff! read more

Tijuana Flats - Two tacos, chips and a drink Tuesday special. - Tex-Mex Near Me - Orlando, Florida

Food was cold and they forgot an entire entree in our delivery order. It also seemed like they went out of there way to give us all the broken chips from the bottom of the bag. I understand that delivery is never quite as good as dining in, but if you are gonna be this bad at it, just stop. We used to eat here often years ago, and dining in is generally good, lots of smiling faces and good food. Be weaned, they do not seem to care much about the quality of their delivery food. read more

Ordered via website for pickup (during the COVID-19 quarantine). The woman who brought it out was polite. Got the order home (about ten minute drive) and it was 100% correct, packaged well, and decently hot. We'll definitely have to try this again, soon. read more

The food was edible enough to not make us sick. The manager seems to not care a whole lot and the waitress is only concerned with talking to her friends in the corner. Our queso was barely warm enough to say it was "warm" We won't be back. read more

Only come here if you like cold food and a loooong wait. People were asking for refunds, long line to order, wait time after we ordered almost 45 minutes to get our food. Ridiculous. They need to reevaluate their customer service. read more

Pretty standard TF location but with awesome outdoor seating. Come to think of it, there's lots of room inside too! We've had great experiences both dining in and ordering takeout. Friendly staff and kid-friendly! read more

Tijuana Flats - tacos - Tex-Mex Near Me - Orlando, Florida

This is the first time I have been to this Tijuana Flats. As well as the first time in a long time being at other Tijuana Flats locations. The food is always good. And since I enjoy hot and spicy, I always have to make a visit to the hot sauce bar and try a new hot sauce. I ordered the chicken enchiladas platter. Two corn tortillas stuffed with chicken and topped off with lettuce, tomato, sour cream, your choice of either red sauce or verde sauce, and a side of chips. With a medium size drink, the total came out to $9.77. As much as the food is good, I feel that for the price, a side of refried beans/rice should be included in the meal as it is at other restaurants featuring Mexican cuisine. The service is good and friendly, and the restaurant is clean. I love the wooden tables, especially the ones next to the front window where you can watch the world go by on Edgewater Drive. And the art work/murals of the dining room alone at this Tijuana Flats makes it worth visiting. Outdoor seating is also available. While waiting for my order, I decided to see what sauces were available. One favorite of mine, Smack My Ass And Call Me Sally (Seriously. That is the name of it.), was out. But I did find a nice hot sauce made with Vidalia onions and Georgia peaches. A good combination of heat and sweet for the chips. One problem I did have with Tijuana Flats was when I was paying with my American Express card. After ringing up the cost of my meal, it asked to include a tip. I would rather leave a cash tip for the staff, as I always do. Which leads me to another problem I have. But with the customers. As I went to leave a tip in the black tin can used for tips, there were discarded straw wrappers and other trash included with the tips. Really? The tip jars are for putting tips in. Not trash. And is it just me, or when has ordering food at a restaurant become rocket science? I had to wait while a customer was asking several questions while ordering, and a second employee had to open a register and take my order. To that Tijuana Flats employee, I thank you. And to the customer holding up the line, you are buying food. Not a car or a house. I would hate to think what this Tijuana Flats is like during lunch on a busy workday and someone is holding up the line. Tijuana Flats always serves up some good food. And the service is always great. If I am in the area again, I would most likely stop in here again and watch the activity buzzing along in College Park. Smack my ass and call me Sally. read more

This is my quick go-to for lunch when I am working at Downtown Credo. I just hop across the street and get it to go. I have never waited longer than 10 minutes even when they are slammed. The women's bathroom is really funny cause it has a huge saying painted on the wall" It only burns for a little bit. You need a sense of humor for it, which I have, but it does make me shiver a little just thinking about it. HA! I always go for the Tostadas - Eight lightly fried, individual corn tortillas with refried beans & melted cheese. Your choice of meat and I go for the Pork, mmmmmm & loaded with whatever you want. I usually keep it simple with tomato, onion and lettuce. It's also served with a side of salsa & sour cream. They are really salty which I love. It's really delicious. My second choice are the Flautas - Two lightly fried tortillas, tightly rolled & loaded with your choice of filling plus cheese & all the toppings. Also served with a side of queso, guacamole & sour cream. These are a little bit heavier than the Tostadas but just as tasty! They have a nice outside area situated right on the corner if you want to pull up a chair outside and enjoy the weather! read more

I am a huge skeptic when it comes to Americanized Mexican or generic Tex Mex. Without having visited this place that is what my impression of it was. When my hubby ranted about this place I came just to indulge him. Am I glad we did! First things first. The service is impeccable. Sure my sensibilities are askew since I lived in a city with the worst customer service ever. So when I come somewhere where the service is good I am confused "Me? Are you being nice to ME? Do you want to be my bff?? Please?" But here they still go above and beyond. As for the food, I was in love the second I realized that I could order anything with black beans instead of meat/chix/pork. YAY! Then the portions? Perfect. Once my hubby guided me to the hot sauce bar I knew I was always going to love this spot. On Tuesdays there is a taco special so the place is packed, yet service remains totally cool. The tacos are a great size, I kind of expected size to suffer but it didn't and mine was chock full of beans!! Yes, I did try the Ghost Pepper sauce. Yes, I loved it. Last but not least, I adore the funky and colorful decor. TF is my new go to spot. read more

Oh my! Where do I begin? I haven't been to Tijuana Flats in so long. Four stars for the parking! Trying to parallel park on Edgewater Drive during lunch time is definitely a challenge. I came here with some coworkers for lunch. The location is great; just a few blocks from my office. It can get pretty crowded here during lunch time; especially on Taco Tuesday! We called in our order in advance so when we got there all we needed to do was sit down and enjoy it. And enjoy we did. I had the special of two tacos with chips and a drink $5.99. My tacos were so yummy, I had them with blackened chicken, all the toppings, no olives. They also have a salsa bar with a variety of salsas from very mild to HOT, HOT, HOT. The service is always good. The prices are very reasonable and I love the atmosphere. I must say I truly enjoyed my lunch today. I'm sorry for neglecting you Tijuana Flats. I promise I'll make it up to you. See you next time! read more

Love taco Tuesday! Can't beat the deal $6.00 for two tacos, chips and a drink. If you are in a hurry the only advise due too them always being busy during lunch place and order ahead. Also the queso is amazing. Waitress and waiters are always available around asking if everything is okay . If we need anything or if we need a refill which I love. read more

Awesome place to go for taco Tuesday. Two tacos, chips & a drink for $5.99. Get an extra taco for free by completing the survey on your receipt. Also, download their app and get a free Trio (guac, salsa, queso, and chips). Normally they have an awesome hot sauce bar with about 14 choices, but with the COVID thing going on, they only have about 5 pre packaged sauces. My favorite are the sweet and the georgia peach and they had both! read more

Tijuana Flats is a mainstay whenever I'm in Orlando, but I'd never been to this location before. An old friend suggested we meet here at lunch on Christmas Eve at 2pm. We got in the door at 1:58 and noticed a sign saying they were closing at 2 for the holiday. The staff insisted we stay, made us an excellent meal, and never hurried us out. Of course we felt awful and ate as quickly as we could so we weren't keeping them later than we were (and yes, we tipped well!)... but a massive 5-star review to this team for not shutting down 2 minutes early or being anything less than smiling, genial, and warm despite the fact that we were keeping them from an early holiday! read more

Living right up Edgewater from Tijuana Flats is both convenient and dangerous! Whether taking it to go, eating outside or hiding in my corner, the food has always tasted fresh and delicious. The girls at the front and the guys dropping off the food are always friendly and outgoing. This is in my queue of places to take out of town guests when I want to share some tasty burritos or nachos. read more

It's fine. It is what it is. it's gloppy, fast mexican food. But if you're going to have a salsa bar, why not have decent salsa? Just saying. College Park loves it and who doesn't like melty cheese over meat and carbs. But come on! You have a salsa bar--get some decent some salsa. read more

Stopped here for lunch on a Friday afternoon. This is basically an upscale fast food restaurant. Healthier concept.... Order at the counter (they fill your drinks there) grab a table and stop by the "salsa" bar. Coming from California, there is a difference between salsa & hot sauce, and this is definitely hot sauce! There are a ton of them to choose from though, from super mild to blow your socks off! When your order is ready, a server shouts your name & brings your food to your table. I ordered a tostada, thinking I would get a round hard tortilla, with toppings....what came out was basically a plate of nachos - interesting. The gal I was with had a quesadilla - and said it was great! We ordered chips & a trio of dips. The salsa (pico de gallo) was super mild but tasty & the guacamole was fresh (it needed salt) & the quest was YUMMY! I do love that they give you fresh jalapeños, not pickled! All in all it was not terrible, but not sure if I would pick this over another place, like Chipotle. read more

Every time I do an online order I am standing in the store 15-20 minutes AFTER my posted time. When u get a 30 minute lunch, this is unacceptable- today I put my order in at 11:43am - I don't get here till 12:05. Finally got my order at 1223. Just beware if u are in a time schedule for your lunch u may not want to do an online order here. read more

This Tijuana Flats location is the one closest to my house (it's within walking distance!), so it's the one I usually go to. It's one of the best I've been to, as well. It's definitely up there, in my opinion, with the likes of the store in Lake Mary and the one on S.R. 434 & near Publix and Mulligan's. The service here is always outstanding and the food is, of course, great. I give this location bonus points for offering online ordering, which I recently did. It made the experience much better, especially considering that if I'd not ordered online I likely would've been waiting a while since the store was jam-packed during my most recent visit. By ordering online, I was able to just walk up the counter, give my name and order & pay. When I did that, I was in and out of there in a matter of minutes. Very convenient! I'd only tried T.F.'s online ordering when I picked food up at the location in Lake Mary, and had a few weird experiences there. Not that there was anything wrong with the food - I guess maybe when I ordered online for the Lake Mary store, that's when the company was first using online ordering, so there were a few snags. For whatever reason, on my most recent visit here I did not order anything to drink, so I missed out on that otherworldly crushed ice T.F. has. Sometimes I think it's almost worth it to head over to T.F. for just a soft drink or Hi-C because their ice is so good. I have been trying to go to T.F. a little less lately as I'm really into the food trucks around town and have yet to check out a few privately-owned Tex-Mex and Mexican restaurants, but this T.F. and all of the others will do just fine from time-to-time. I'm very happy that this location opened up & so close to where I live. It's clean and it's convenient, and I've always been very happy with the friendly service and the quality of the food. To me, this location is worth at least 4 stars. read more
