Many years from now, in the distant, post apocalyptic future, when the oceans have run dry and the trees have all withered, all governments will have relinquished borders and fused into one giant galactic conglomerate... humanity will then decide upon a universal currency. That currency, will be tacos. This is how I know Tijuana Flats will one day rule the universe. I come here religiously, every Taco Tuesday and all Throwback Thursdaze. Thy flesh is built upon tacos and hot sauce flows through my viens. If you do come here on those days, expect it to be pretty busy. The line moves pretty fast and ordering is easy peasy. Despite the hungry crowds, I can usually find a seat before my food arrives. Food usually takes 5-10 minutes to arrive. The tacos are well stacked with a generous amount of meat and toppings. My only complaint is that the shredded cheese can sometimes be very cold and bring down the overall deliciousness. The burritos are rather large and always very hot. Your meal is always served on a tray of crispy tortilla chips, and of course you can ask for salsa or queso. Now onto the best part, the service. You can search the world twice over and still not find cashiers and servers like the friendly smiles you'll see here. Like clock work, one of lollipop gang will appear every few minutes out of thin air to ensure your food is tip top and ask if you need a refill. Even if you don't need a refill, you do need a refill. Look to the left, right, up, down, forward, backward, under the table and in the closet when you get home and there you will find a server waiting to be the nicest person you'll ever meet. Head over to Tijuana Flats and accept the life of tacos you never knew you needed. Most importantly, don't forget to tip!

After living on Lean Cuisine for the last two weeks I was so over it and so when I passed Tijuana Flats tonight and remembered it was Throwback Thursday that was all it took to get me to make a stop. On Thursdays you can get a a Tijuana burrito, chips and a drink for just $5.99. Steak is $1 more and by the time I added a side of queso the total was up to $9.99. While you wait you can explore their hot sauce bar that ranges from the mild to set you on fire. If you want salsa you will have to pay extra here. On Tuesdays you can get a deal on two tacos, chips & a drink for $5.99. You can sign up for their email club in the restaurant that will keep you in the know about other deals. They serve beer if you are so inclined. I always think of the decor here as if Hot Topic opened a Tex Mex place. The look of the employees are on the edgy alternative side. The service you get here is typical of other places in this price point. On Tuesdays and Thursdays it can get quite crowded with a long wait but on this night at 6 PM it was strangely empty. The food is average. You get a good amount for your money and it's filling. They offer whole wheat tortillas and taco shells so if you leave off the queso and stick to the veggies this is a healthy option. If you are a vegetarian they have a lot of meatless options. They are always selling special items to raise money to help the community. For instance they offer pink chips in October to raise money for breast cancer. When I am craving a quick meal Tijuana Flats is a inexpensive and healthy choice.

It's been years since I visited Tijuana Flats, so I decided to take advantage of their Taco Tuesday special--2 tacos for $6.99. They also have a current offer of $2 for queso or guacamole. The staff was welcoming, and despite the busyness, the service was prompt. For to-go orders, I appreciate the foil packaging that retains heat and keeps the fillings in place. When I arrived home, everything was still warm. However, my order wasn't entirely accurate. I requested the cheese and sour cream on the side; while the sour cream was on the side, the cheese was not. The food tasted fresh, and I regretted not ordering more hard shell tacos, as I didn't enjoy the flour ones. The combination of beef and refried beans lacked seasoning and flavor. On the other hand, the chicken tacos were much better, both hard and soft shell. The chips and queso were delicious, as always. There is ample seating available both inside and outside, along with a self-serve spice-level counter and clean surroundings. While the service and chips and queso were great, the inaccurate order and some underwhelming fillings left room for improvement. I'd still give them another try, sticking with the hard shells next time. Order: $17.10 1 Blacked chicken with refried beans - hard 1 Chicken with refried beans - flour 2 beef refried beans - flour Queso IG: Shallonz Table

I was highly disappointed in this place. We did take out and these are the items we ordered and description. Chicken Quesadilla-floppy soggy flour tortilla. Barely any chicken lots of shredded lettuce and diced tomatoes. My kid who loves quesadillas was gagging with that soggy tortilla. Beef Chimichanga- chicken is always the best but decided to try their beef. I hope that was beef I ate, it contained ground beef that looked like that devil ham from a can. Nachos- lots of stale chips with melted cheese on the top of chips, again mostly shredded lettuce and diced tomatoes with dried up jalapeño slices. Guacamolé- no taste no taste at all. A bit of salt made it taste better. Spent quite a bit of money on dinner and it was a waste. Taco Bell which is not my favorite was better than these location. The location on Dixie of of commercial is a better quality. See my "delicious-mostly tortilla-deviled ham" Chimichanga picture below. This place is YUK!

I just wanted to take the time out to shout out the server STEVEN who was there ! I have been to Tijuana Flats about 1,000x and have never had such a marvelous experience as this. He was attentive , funny and going above and beyond when he already was doing a spectacular job. My order was made with onions (& I did not want them) and he caught it and remade the whole order without me having to ask! There really is so much more but I don’t have the character space or time to write it all down . He single handedly reignited my joy for eating out and dealing with servers lol 😂 I truly , truly enjoyed watching him give his all to each customer to ensuring they were well taken care. Kudos to Tijuana for employing a wonderful person like Steven and thank the heavens I was able to have my day brightened by him. It really is the little things <3

From being a staple to possibly never coming again sadly. We use to come 1-2 times a week. A year ago and before you would be able to get a burrito bowl and take it home with the nice portions they gave. Then they kept lowering the portion to where your still hungry now. Cutting corners seems to be a Tijuana flats choice instead of charging more I guess ? They seem to change staff every year to, not sure what’s up with that but I guess it is what it is. Came today with the lady at the register just not caring much about her job, seemed mad anytime you asked her something. We came for the kids eat free promotion which we told her and she said no problem but still tried to charge us lol. I got a burrito bowl which you can see might have had 5-7 pieces of small cubed chicken, just a shame especially when your spending 10-15$ a bowl.
