What diners say — our read

An average alone would undersell where this place is now. Where front-of-house comes up, the rating that follows averages 4.6, so it reads as a strength.

No one in this corpus comments on the state of the room at all. Dates on these reviews range from Oct 2025 to Jun 2026. The single most common rating left here is 5 stars (15 of 19). 16 of 19 rated reviews are four stars or higher; 3 are two or lower.

Against that, the kitchen inspects well — an A (91/100), 2 intermediate and 3 basic violations at the most recent DBPR visit. The visit behind that grade was February 25, 2026. Across its inspection history the kitchen is improving, which argues for giving it the benefit of the doubt. On health score it sits safer than 46% of the Orange County restaurants we grade. For specifics, the last inspection cited food-contact surfaces clean and sanitized and plumbing installed & maintained.

Nothing here pulls in opposite directions — an unusually clean read. The underlying reviews are reproduced in full underneath.

    Such an amazing staff team that’s always friendly, and with delicious food as well. Tijuana is always my go-to on Tuesdays and Thursdays for the deals on the dos tacos and burritos

  • June 5, 2026

    I order online and the food was done in a timely manner and the steak tacos were delicious

    Fantastic visit. Staff were so friendly. Taco Tuesday was a heck of a deal with two tacos, chips and a drink for 7.99! Met Tim the manager who was out helping with customers and refilling drinks, wiping tables. Tacos came out very quickly. Love the trivia they have on the TV plus other entertaining channels. Great visit. Be back Thursday for Burrito Bowl Thursday. I make two meals out of that. And if you visit both Tuesday and Thursday you get an extra 30 reward points! WIN WIN.

    I love Tijuana flats so much that my favorite part about ordering is getting to use their to-go bags as a trash bag 🤣🤣

    Friends from UCF wanted to come here on Taco Tuesday! Two good-sized tacos, chips AND a drink for $7.99 and if you do Reward Points, if you eat Tuesday and then again Thursday, you get an extra 30 Reward Points! Deal! Staff were super friendly. Met both Ana and Charlotte and they were very knowledgeable of the menu. Tim the manager was cleaning tables and filling sauce containers. Good place when a manager pitches in! The sauce bar is amazing! Something for everyone. Puts Moe's to shame! Chicken tacos were great. Asked for unseasoned chips and they were great. Great visit. We will be back for Burrito Bowl Thursday for the extra 30 points. Thanks Tim for telling us about it.

    Always a great time. Truly a timeless place

  • March 24, 2026

    Tim and his staff are amazing! They make everyone feel welcomed and cared for - they do a great job checking in during dine in if you need anything. Highly recommend this location so close to UCF!

    I ordered pickup food. The food was on time expected and excellent tasting. The staff were exceptional! Very pleasant and accommodating. I really appreciated them.

  • March 8, 2026

    Food was bland. There were more veggies than meat, bean, and cheese, adding to the blandness.

  • February 28, 2026

    Place charges 8 dollars for delivery and can’t even deliver sauces, sour cream or straws. Spend all that money and the experience is worse than getting it yourself. The sauces are the only reason I choose this place over others.

  • February 21, 2026

    Taco Tuesday with double stacked tacos is a very good deal. I do wish you had a plain (no spice at all) salsa though.

  • January 28, 2026

    food was good, the place smelled like mop water tho.

  • January 17, 2026

    It has always been a great experience at this location. Very helpful and friendly staff. Great food and don't overlook all of the different sauces to try!

  • January 1, 2026

    Havent lived in the area in a while and told the guy how much i miss tijuana flats and he gave me a free bottle of my favorite hot sauce as a memento. Really incredible experience and team and food are great as always

    Charlotte was excellent! She took great care of us, helped with menu questions and even alerted to NOT have the salt on the chips. Great attitude! She was doing ordering, delivering food, cleaning tables, refilling drinks, doing it all! And kept smiling! Great visit. Burrito Bowl was good. Fresh and hot Cilantro Rice, Chicken and Beans. Amazing flavors.

  • December 19, 2025

    Service and food was top notch!

  • October 2, 2025

    Place hit rock bottom. Don't waste your money. Had a real bad experience. Place was empty for a reason. Talked to manager that said they would resolve it and that never happened. Update - Owner will reply they want to help by reaching out to them by email. Don't fall for it. They don't reply back. They don't care. Just trying to look professional.
