Even though we got there late (9pm) it was still very good. The staff were great, location was nice without a lot of traffic & food was delicious. Want quick, hot food fast stop by. I suggest the Flautas! read more

Great hospitality and tasty street tacos. I had the steak. It was very flavorful. If you love hot sauce, they have the best selection, from sweet to garlicky, hot and extra hot!!! Cocktails are served here as well. Chill ambiance, off the main road but close to it all. read more

Staff were friendly. Food was mediocre. The chicken burrito was loaded with meat, but there wasn't a lot of seasoning. The blackened chicken quesadillas barely had anything in it. Ambiance was quiet. Restaurant was clean. read more

In a pinch, it'll do. Had street tacos w/ 3 diff proteins. Liked the self-serve hot sauce barrels. Missed having fresh Pico de Gallo, but they had fresh Cilantro on top of tacos. It's alright. read more

We walked in on Monday evening and got served with no wait. Staff was so friendly and food was so good. We haven't had Tijuana Flats since we lived in Orlando and it was so great to have it again! I'm vegan so it's tough to find good places to eat. Bought some hot sauce to take the magic back home with us. Thank you! read more

If not for the cursing names of their hot sauces it would be a great place. The food was well prepared. Our family had steak, ground beef and chicken. All meats were seasoned well. The server at counter was the same guy who brought food to table, he was a kind professional fellow. Very impressed with him. Had an island accent. The place was clean bright and pleasant to eat in. Would recommend, even though they should reconsider the childish cursing names of hot sauces. read more

The burritos and tacos were fine, but the tacos were small and we did not perfect the flavor of the salsa. The hot sauces were great though! I love my Ocean Deck Rasta Sauce! read more

Tijuana Flats - Order counter - Tex-Mex Near Me - Pigeon Forge, Tennessee

Food was good, prices were very reasonable. It reminded me of a Chipotle. The interior seemed clean with a few exterior seats. They have self serve hot sauces that you can choose from. We got there right before closing time so the cashier wasn't very happy. read more

The food was really good. The Guac was delicious. The service was very nice and patient with the orders.

First time trying a Tijuana Flats restaurant. Burrito was good. Chipotle may be better. Staff was very friendly and welcoming when I walked in. Dining area was clean. They have a good assortment of sauces. The habanero sauce just had too much vinegar but the Rasta sauce, ocean deck maybe? Was very good. I'll eat here again read more

Tijuana Flats - Burrito - Tex-Mex Near Me - Pigeon Forge, Tennessee

TLDR: food is fresh, delicious, and well priced, staff is friendly, would recommend over all the other places of any dining style in the Tex Mex space. Tex mex restaurants seem to be a concept this area is starting to embrace. You have one over by the outlet mall, owned by a local restaurant group. It's more of a higher end Tex mex steakhouse vibe. Then you have one down the street from Tijuana Flats, owned by a local-ish outfit, with a hell of an interior design but severely lacking in quality of food, service, etc. Now, this gem has popped up. Fast casual Tex Mex. Reasonably priced. Absolutely delicious. The hot sauce bar is super fun to try out. The staff is on it - very friendly and helpful in making our choices. The food came out hot and ultra flavorful. We ordered a garlic lime shrimp bowl, chicken flautas, the Tijuana trio (chips & salsa, queso, & guac), and a kids meal. NA drinks all around. All in we spent under $40, not including tip, and given the amount and quality of the food, this was a great price. All entrees came with more chips & salsa or queso, depending on said entree. Drink refills were plentiful, vibe is relaxed. If you're craving Tex Mex while in pigeon forge, this is the only choice. read more

THANK YOU! We have been waiting for our favorite Florida place in the mountains. Food was as expected and delish. Tell all your friends, eat here. Tijuana Taco Tuesday should be a holiday for everyone. Vegetarian and vegan options y'all! read more

My family and I are from Florida where we have always been fans of Tijuana Flats. This is a perfect spot for casual Tex-Mex; get the queso! For anyone who likes Chuy's; you'll love Tijuana Flats. Specifically, this location had very friendly staff, was very clean, and we will surely be returning. Met the owner and they too were extremely friendly and eager to serve up delicious food! read more

My family and I love T-Flats! My wife, being a Florida native, was very excited to get one here and I'm converted as well. The food is very good and reasonably priced, the staff is friendly, and we enjoy the atmosphere as well--it's a fun place to be. While it is in Pigeon Forge, it's on a side road so it's not hard to get in and out of. Check out the cookie dough flautas if you're a dessert person! read more

What a great find!!! This little hide away Tex Mex Restaurant was a wonderful choice! The food was really delicious...steak was spot on and extremely tender. The guacamole was fabulous too! They have the neatest sauce stand to give everyone a choice. The service was wonderful and extremely friendly...they seemed genuinely happy to have us come in. Don't second guess this choice. Your whole party will leave extremely happy! read more

Food was good and very reasonable. My wife and I both got the taco Tuesday special. She got beef and I got the chicken. Staff was super friendly and helpful. We will definitely be back and try some other options. read more

We did take out here and the food was really delicious. Our group got the taco salad, tacos and the shrimp bowl.

Amazing service. Amazing food. My wife and I recently moved to Knoxville from Florida. Our favorite restaurant was always Tijuana Flats while we lived in Florida. We decided to visit today for our first Tijuana meal in over 2 months. The Pigeon Forge location is beautiful and served us food that tasted exactly like what we are used to, but the presentation far exceeded any other Tijuana flats we have ever been too. You can really tell the employees enjoy their craft. Also while you are in here you should check out the amazing mural. We had a great time studying it. read more

Literally my new favorite place! The service was outstanding, the food is excellent and the sauce bar is to die for (I'm a sauce girly) A coworker recommended I try it and I was far from disappointed. I came alone, got takeout and after handing me my food she offered to refill my drink before I left, she anticipated my needs and met them with a smile. 10/10 read more

Pigeon Forge residents and visitors!! You've been blessed with the recent opening of my #1 favorite place to eat when we lived in Florida. Tijuana Flats is here!! Texas-mex brilliance. Delicious. Affordable. Large portions. Amazing hot sauce bar. Mix Rasta and their Ranch together, and you'll never eat Ranch plain again! The atom bombs are delicious too. Tuesdays are 2 tacos, chips, and a drink for $6.99. Cannot beat that price anywhere!! Locally owned franchise. Support these amazing owners in their new endeavor and make this place the next Pigeon Forge success story! read more

I was there today, and the people who work there are nice, but that's honestly the only positive thing that I can say about it. There was absolutely nothing good about anything that my friend and I had there today. In fact, it was so bad, it was inedible, and I left almost all of it on the table. There were a couple stumbles and mixups in regards to things we ordered, but that was very minor compared to the quality of the food. I have not yet found a good Mexican or Tex-Mex restaurant in eastern Tennessee. But out of all of them, this one is towards the bottom of the list. read more
