Tijuana Flats — Restaurant in Dr. Phillips

I apologize for the tardiness of my review, busy and emotional week. I also apologize for not remembering the wonderfully sweet lady at the front of the house for her kindness and empathy when we stopped by to retrieve our online order. My wife and I had just had a major shift in our family dynamic and she was just awesome in her representation of both herself and your organization! She assured me that the queso was absolutely a magical “feel better” elixir and agree 1,000,000%! She also tossed in a free dessert pick me up specifically for my bride. This location was already our go to for your brand and my visit this past Wednesday the 16th of August 2023 merely cemented that for us. Again, I’m sorry I cannot recall her name… but please know what an asset she is! I’ve been a retail manager for more than 27 years and that level of interaction is never lost on me! It also appeared that a management type meeting was happening while we were in and let me just say, I very rarely recall a meeting looking that energetic and fun filled! The vibe be of the entire location simply exudes positivity, please...

I think this location might be pretty new, which is why I’m giving them the benefit of the doubt. My fiancé and I got tacos, I got flour tortillas and he had corn. Both of the tortillas were cold, I think his might not even have been cooked. Like I said I think this location is new so maybe the kitchen just didn’t have a good idea of how to prepare their food yet?

Other than that the queso was delicious, the cashier was friendly and people checked in on us throughout or meal despite it being counter service. Food came out quickly and is brought to your table. The dining room was clean, the margaritas were good. They had an assortment of Jarritos, love that. The only thing I was unhappy with were the cold tortillas but a solid taco is the whole point of Tex mex.

I’m gonna try this place again in a month or so to see if they’ve ironed out their cold tortilla issues. Hope they do because otherwise this really was a great...

First. Good service the night we stopped by. Not a lot of seating available inside. But it seemed sufficient. Taco Tuesday deal. Great price. Chicken did not have a lot of flavor but you can spice it up with any number of sauces. Beef taco good but the hamburger meat tastes like it is seasoned with that powdered taco season packet Todd get at a grocery store. Queso good but nothing amazing. Chips were good but not great. Great portion on the chips! My wife had a Bowl with the steak. She said the same thing. Not a lot a flavor on the steak. Good portion and I loved that my tacos included the sour cream drizzle. We also order a side of Guac. It was fresh and tasty but needed salt or lime juice or jalapeños? Yea was good. Sweet and unsweetened. There are 3 beers on tap. Food was a 3 star but I liked the sauce bar. Lots of choices. From sweet and spicy to bbq vinegar...
