Tijuana Flats — Restaurant in Jacksonville

The chef makes some dishes with really good, unique flavor, and fresh toppings. The quicker serve restaurant provides a decent, sharable inside. 🇲🇽

Meals I enjoy their very large and filling bangin chicken tostadas with a small side of queso and larger side of salsa with extra chips. What would these super flavorful tostadas look like as the main part of a yummy provided meal for a crowd as they use Tijuana’s special, most popular sauce? Since the tostadas are good and not soggy fresh, I wish to be super hungry and able to eat the whole main meal as I take my time eating. I enjoy all the light topping with jalapeños on the side and request plenty of shredded lettuce. 🌽 🫓 🫘 🐥 🥬 🍅 🥛 🧀 🧅 🫕 💃

Their very large, filling, and scrumptious beef chimichanga is a really good chimichanga. There is plenty inside, a good bake, and the queso provides a nice topping. I ask for the dish wet style and wish to try jalapeños in a cup on the side. I accept all other listed toppings and really appreciate the good amount of fresh salad topping ingredients they provide. Also, I enjoy the provided small side of chips. I may need to request a small salsa. I am fine having slight leftover chimichanga to eat the next day but enjoy coming hungry with time to eat as I sit down and crave the meal. 🫓 🐮 🌿 🧀 🍅 🥬 🧅 🥛 💃

Their nachos look great and fresh with ground beef, refried beans, shredded cheese, queso, lettuce, sour cream, diced tomato, and diced onion with fresh jalapeño and fresh red salsa sweetly on the side. 🌽 🫓 🐮 🫘 🧀 🫕 🥬 🥛 🍅 🧅 💃

Info I really appreciate their fresh ingredients. I wish their tacos were higher quality. Also, I wish the inside was a more peaceful, shared dining experience. The staff are really great when they are not too stressed.

Drink For a special treat, I also really appreciate their healthy drink options. They have a great housemade strawberry lemonade and sometimes a few cane sugar Mexican Jarritos options. I enjoy pineapple the most. 🥤...

Every time I go the food and service has been great! You walk in they have menus that lead up to the registers. once you walk in your greeted right away and ask have you been here before if not they are willing to help you out and talk about how you can order. Have best tacos and taco salads with good rice or bean side options. salsa and chips is good. They have crushed ice which I love! Always asking if you need anything. Still very accomedating. Price is still decent and they have deals that you can see on a flat screen tv if you cant decide. They do change their menu at times. Can sit outside too. Great place for family, friends,business and other. Famous for their many versions of hot and sweet sauces. Try out their sauce bar just watch out for the extreme hot sauce ones! lol. You can even buy a bottle. Wall and ceiling decor is creatively interesting and the story of how the restaurant came to be along with their charities and colleges support. Place is clean and kept up. They have one bathroom stall for each male and female. Sun oct 8 2023. Had steak quesodilla and shrimp lime tacos. Both were really good well made. Just felt the tacos could of had a lime slice on side to splash a bit of more lime on it to really set it off. Had plenty of meat in both meals. 😋 chip and salsa always good. Cilantro...

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ If there was an Olympic sport for being a host, Sophia at Tijuana Flats would take the GOLD, the SILVER, the BRONZE, and probably invent a new medal just so she could win that too. From the moment I walked in, it was like being greeted by the Queen of Hospitality herself — except way cooler, because she did it with a smile that could light up the entire restaurant and probably half of Florida.

Sophia didn’t just seat us. No, no, no. She orchestrated an entire EXPERIENCE. She floated us to our table like some kind of taco angel descending from salsa heaven. She made us feel like VIP celebrities — honestly, I was waiting for paparazzi to pop out from behind the hot sauce bar.

Her energy? Immaculate. Her timing? Flawless. Her vibe? Somewhere between best friend, hype-woman, and professional customer service wizard. I’m convinced Sophia has superpowers, because how else do you explain someone making me feel THAT excited to sit down and eat burritos?

If the food was a 10/10, Sophia made the whole night a 15/10. Somebody give this girl a raise, a promotion, and maybe a lifetime supply of queso because she deserves it.

TL;DR: Sophia isn’t just a host. She’s THE host. The GOAT of Tijuana Flats. Don’t walk — RUN to this place just to be seated...
