    I did Uber eats my food Let me just say the nachos I had on point and the churros
    Migmarie M.

    I love what they have done with the place. A couple years ago I didn't like it but lately they are on point. Not sure if under new management but I love the food now!!

    Pink in the center

    So I was hoping that it was a one time thing and it only happens at certain times not sure if it's the cool but my ground beef is pink and not cooked fully. Ground beef isn't steak and should be cooked thoroughly especially with all the contamination going around with food. Wendy's got a massive Law suit going on right now due to a girl catching meningitis from a bacteria she had from their food and can't walk anymore. I was told when I called that the food seasoning is what's making it red and pink. I know we're ground beef cooked. Looks like as I explained to the person that picked up the phone and how other Tijuana Flats in the area I don't have this issue in the meat is brown fully cooked I've been eaten here some days before and it's brown. So it does not make sense to me how certain days it's all clumped up as if it's not cooked and it's pink and red. The only reason I found out that this was uncooked meat was because at the edge of my taco it was a bloody piece of meat and I started digging into the taco was bleeding through in the taco shell and it was not cooked. I showed the person at the restaurant and she brought me some new food and apologized again when I place an order for pick up and it happened to be uncooked again, this is ground beef. It should be thoroughly cooked so people don't get sick. I have no other issues with any other Tijuana Flats with this one here in St. Cloud on 13th St. which happens to be an inconvenience that I won't be eating there anymore because it's so close to my house that I have to drive all the way down in Lake Nona just to get cooked tacos, please cook the meat so people don't get sick and you don't get a lawsuit. Disgusting, I'll call corporate next because these restaurants need to do better.

    We stopped by today for lunchjust after the rush. We ordered our regular 1 cheese tortillia with refried beans and 1 burrio with chicken and salas and refried beans with Chips. After ordering 3 extra refried beans the nice manager came out and said we could get the refried beans in a larger container so we wouldnt have to pay the price of the smaller containers. This is awesome I said! Thank you very much. The food was great and the chip were nice and crunchy rather than so hard I cant chew them. See yall next week.

    Great place to come for a quick bite to eat. I always get the steak flautas. They never disappoint. The employees are super friendly and attentive.

    Grilled chicken soft tacos.

    Nov 26/19: decent little local Mexican restaurant. Service was fast & efficient. Place was small with maybe 40-50 seats. They had a great selection of hot sauces. I chose the "Smack my ass & call me Sally" Habanero sauce. It was hot but no crazy hot with lots of flavour. I had the 2-For $7.99 soft grilled chicken combo. The chicken was a little rubbery but not bad. The 3 sauce nacho coma no had TONS on nachos. This is maybe a do-over for me.

    skimp

    8:30pm 6/29 I came in and got a burrito that had very little meat. Unsure if it is because I hit no tip but they skimped me. I wasn't sure if the other reviews were sensible because i love tijuana flats, but this location, at this time, was less than unpleasant. I can't believe how much white rice there is compared to anything else..

    We walked in and got lucky during lunch as no one but 4 people eating at the time. More room for the kids to sit. We ordered and watched the Chiva TV while we waited. When our food came it was all at once so everyone was able to eat at the same time. The beans this time were throughly cook, we had to wait extra for some more refried beans as they had run out. But it was ok we were eating our lunch. I was very happy that everyone in our group got exactly what they order. The music was just enough for entertaining but not too loud.

    Street Corn Taco with Steak. As mentioned in the review, the steak is practically non-existent.

    A disappointing experience no question about it. My favorite "Mexican" place which is considered the most popular Mexican fast casual restaurant nationwide (Starts with a "C", ends with an "e", you can probably guess the name at this point) had a massive line Friday night so I decided to fill my Mexican craving at Tijuana Flats. The location itself is pretty nice with plenty of outdoor seating and a vibrant atmosphere in the inside. The staff are very friendly and accommodating with any questions I had. There are plenty of sauces to choose from, the Salsa tasted fresh as did the Guac. Ordered the "Street Corn Tacos with Steak" and a Steak Burrito. This is where things go downhill. While the Burrito and Tacos were okay at best, they were not anything special. This most likely is due to the fact that the "steak" I ordered was practically non existent. You feel like you are eating the Tortilla with a bunch of sour cream and lettuce with practically no meat. I didn't get a chance to take the picture of the burrito since obviously it is wrapped and I was not going to unfold it just for the sake of a picture, but there were maybe 6 tiny little pieces of meat in the entire burrito. The taco was even worse and the picture attached speaks for itself. I counted 5 pieces of tiny little pieces of steak. An absolute disappointment. While the customer service and atmosphere are great, food is the number one expectation and this place was a major disappointment. Stick to the fast casual restaurant that starts with a "c" and ends with an "e".

    Ordered the new chicken Tinga tacos and those were good. I loved the seasoning in the shredding chicken and all the toppings in the taco. The cookie dough flautas were made perfectly. Dine In is currently available but limited. Service is fast and friendly!! I still prefer Chipotle, but something different is good every so often!!

    Tijuana is a total favorite of the family

    UPDATE: Much better today!!!! The lady who took our order was so patient and informative! Food was fantastic and every employee was friendly, including managers! I spoke to the manager whom had responded to my previous review and all was squared away. :) Only wish, TFlats had name tags so I could shout out to the lady who helped us! She is our favorite!

    True story.

    What a great little spot for St. Cloud! I was personally cry sad to see the Bojangles go (RIP, my favorite chicken biscuit) but this is a solid replacement. Took the kids here for lunch and was positively surprised at the great service. We ordered (chipotle chimi for me and cheese quesadillas for the kids) and sat outside because it was nice (aka not 1000 scorching degrees) outside. As usual, the kids guzzled their apple juice boxes in record time before eating their quesadilla, but staff was more than happy to bring waters out for them! My chimi has the perfect amount of everything, and because the portion size was so big I had half left over to take home for dinner that night.

    Agave margarita double hit!

The restaurant itself is very nice inside clean, well designed, and has a welcoming atmosphere. There's also a parking garage nearby, which makes it convenient. When we arrived, it wasn't too busy, and it took our server about 4 minutes to greet us. Once she did, she was incredibly friendly and accommodating, especially since I have a shellfish allergy. That definitely stood out and made me feel comfortable dining there. They start you off with complimentary chips and dips, which were amazing and a great way to kick off the meal. For my main, I ordered the chipotle queso enchiladas along with the Perfect Paloma. The drink lived up to its name it was refreshing, flavorful, and honestly one of the highlights of the meal. We also tried the supreme nachos, which were good overall, but the beans were a bit overpowering compared to the other toppings. As the restaurant started to get busier, things did slow down a bit, and the food took longer than expected because they were backed up. That said, our server continued to check in on us and kept a great attitude the entire time. When the enchiladas finally came out, they did not disappoint. The chipotle queso enchiladas were absolutely delicious full of flavor and definitely something I'd order again. The only downside was the rice, which was a little hard and not as enjoyable as the rest of the plate. Overall, Uncle Julio's offers a great dining experience with excellent service, a clean environment, and some really standout menu items. A few small issues with timing and sides, but nothing that ruined the experience. Rating: 4/5

    Unfortunately missed the mark on our visit…read more First off, we were enticed by their advertisement for half price cocktails. We went in during Happy Hour expecting to sip a drink while we waited for food. Despite advertising Half Off Cocktails, when the server finally arrived we were informed that it only applied to about six margaritas on their menu, not 'cocktails' as advertised. We didn't complain to the server, as we assumed it wasn't his policy. Disappointing and misleading. We did end up ordering a variety of margaritas, which were disappointing to our crew for various reasons. Mine was acceptable but not exciting, though. I got the swirl with sangria. We checked in online and got the free 'guac'. I wish I'd snapped a photo, as it arrived without an attempt at presentation, just two scoops of mushed avocado on a plate. It needed more seasoning, which was unfortunate because there was no salt at our high top table. Nachos were decent, but soggy. I asked for extra jalapenos, which I did receive and they gave my plate more flavor. Service was fine. I felt bad that our server was both tending bar and taking orders as happy hour seemed to be a busier time for him. Overall, my experience was ho hum but my table partners were disappointed in the food, drinks, and experience. Hopefully yours is better than ours!

    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.

I also tried the Boom Boom sauce, and it's easy to see why it's so popular -- super flavorful with a nice kick.
