Tijuana Flats — Restaurant in Ocoee

We regularly travel on W. Colonial Drive in Ocoee. We always seem to get the red light at Maguire Rd where the backs of a number on businesses face the road.

One of these businesses is Tijuana Flats which has an eye-catching facade, advertising “Tex Mex For All.” I’d picked up a menu the day before and decided to give them a try for takeout.

The staff is very friendly and the manager is present and working to ensure a positive experience for his customers. There were several tables occupied with dine in patrons, including two casually dressed businessmen working on their laptops while having lunch.

My order was taken quickly and efficiently: a chicken Chimichanga and a chicken Quesadilla. I waited about 10 minutes and my order was brought yo me by a smiling and pleasant young lady.

TF has a fun vibe. I thought the music was a little loud, though. We enjoyed our food although the tortilla chips were soggy even though packed in a separate paper bag. We had enough for another smaller serving the next day. I thought the price point was a little high.

If you like sauces, this is your place. The restaurant has a separate area with a variety of well-marked and described sauces. The tables are cool, too, with clever sayings on them. Elementary school artwork is also on display.

Parking is plentiful with dedicated spots for pre-ordered pickups. The manager brought one order out to a waiting customer.

I’m glad I stopped in and I will return. Just please turn down the...

We ordered curb side delivery. We arrived at 1135 am for our delivery time. After waiting 10 minutes, I went inside to get our food. I was approached asking if all I ordered was a tea. I said no, I had 2 adult meals and 2 kid meals. After 30 minutes plus AFTER my scheduled curbside delivery, we got out food but I picked it up inside. When we checked our food, multiple issues. 1) my 13 inch flour chimichanga was less than 3 inches big. 2) we got a tub of ranch dressing instead of salsa. 3) kids chicken tenders were super small and not full portion. When speaking with the manager Ruban, he did refund us, and told us next time we come we get 2 free meals. He also apologized that they are short staffed. So I am writing this review, because my husband and I decided to go and claim our 2 free meals. We get there, and there is only 2 people working. 1 taking orders and doing everything, and 1 person making the food. They had a line of people, and I got the feeling of what I did the last time of all the issues and long wait. Therefore, we decided to leave and go elsewhere.

This use to be a good Tijuana flats location with staff when they first opened. Now it’s horrible, and it’s worth driving to the winter garden one instead...

The food here was surprisingly delicious! I was in Orlando on a 2-week business trip. I hadn't heard of Tijuana Flats before this trip. I signed up for their points club and went back several times during my trip. The garlic lime shrimp tacos got me hooked! The combination of flavors that are packed into a soft taco shell - the poblano peppers, pickled red onions, queso fresco, cilantro cabbage and garlic lime sauce were like a party in your mouth! The burritos are more than generous in size. The beefy queso and regular queso were delicious! To top it all off, they have a hot sauce bar with a range of heat level to satisfy from mild(almost no heat) to Carolina Reaper hot. The staff were very friendly and helpful in deciding my first order. If there was a location close to my home, I would probably be there on a weekly basis. They have specials for different days of the week, so it's not hard to find a great deal. Their points club is also a huge benefit with rewards available after spending $20. The rewards get better as your points build up. I can easily recommend this location for great food and...
