Tijuana Flats

Tijuana Flats, 10 E. New Haven Avenue, Suite 103, Melbourne, Florida 32901 4-Stars (Chain Restaurant Rating) Amazingly, prior to this review I had never patronized a Tijuana Flats, although I have been seeing them around Central Florida for the past 20 or 30 years and would sometimes have vague malnoia that I might be missing out on something good. Tijuana Flats falls into an interesting category of not fast food and not sit down. In 1995, Brian Wheeler—at the time, just a taco-loving college student—borrowed some money from his dad to open the first Tijuana Flats in Winter Park, Florida. It has since grown to 123 locations in four states, three of them in the Melbourne area. In addition to their quick casual food, they have a large assortment of fun hot sauces of varying intensities you can sample at the hot sauce bar. Find one you can’t live without? You can purchase one or more bottles to bring home some heat and spice up your life. Jovi is our food facilitator, and she is wonderfully charming and helpful. If you are tired of burgers and want some exciting great tasting food, I’d advise you to try the following: Garlic Lime Shrimp Bowl with well-seasoned sauteed shrimp, cilantro lime rice (cooked correctly), black beans, poblano peppers and onions, corn salsa, garlic lime sauce, guac, queso fresco, cilantro cabbage and pickled red onions. A truly delightful offering. Cheesy Steak Flautas, two lightly fried tortillas with marinated steak, fajita pepper and onions, garlic lime sauce and cheese. Served with queso, pico, guac, sour cream, and jalapeños. A dish that was prepared quickly and tasted great. The Big Boy says, “Craving fast Mexican? Forget Taco Bell, run to Tijuana!”

The young lady mis understood my order and I said I would pay the difference she told me the kitchen would make sure I had my 2 beef tacos and when I got to my job I didn't and didn't have time to go back for a taco. That's why I gave them a 4.

The food was good. We loved all of the salsa and sauce options. Service was decent, and the food came fairly quickly.

Some people say that all Tijuana Flats feel the same. I agree. But you gotta love their hot sauce bar. Too bad they don't change up the options more often though.

Love this restaurant. The food is always great and now they will pack up the sizes for you to protect from touching stuff. Staff were all wearing masks.
