What diners say — our read

An average alone would undersell where this place is now. Front-of-house tends to be raised approvingly here, averaging 4.2 stars.

No one in this corpus comments on the state of the room at all. 15 of 20 rated reviews are four stars or higher; 5 are two or lower. Dates on these reviews range from Jun 2025 to Jun 2026. The single most common rating left here is 5 stars (13 of 20).

The health record runs ahead of the reviews. The last DBPR inspection returned an A (95/100) with 1 intermediate and 2 basic violations. The visit behind that grade was January 8, 2026. Ranked against Osceola County, it is safer than 63% of the restaurants we score. For specifics, the last inspection cited food-contact surfaces clean and sanitized and exits not blocked or locked (reporting only).

Neither signal is decisive on its own here, which is why both are shown. The underlying reviews are reproduced in full underneath.

    If you're looking for a delicious taco experience, Tijuana Flats is definitely worth a visit. The tacos are outstanding—flavorful and generously portioned, ensuring you won't leave hungry. I also tried their burrito, and I was pleasantly surprised by how tasty it was; it exceeded my expectations with its fresh ingredients and robust flavor. One of the highlights of Tijuana Flats is the variety of sauces available. They offer an impressive selection, allowing you to customize your meal to match your taste preferences perfectly. Whether you prefer something spicy or a milder option, there's a sauce for everyone. On top of the fantastic food, the service is excellent. The staff are friendly and attentive, making your dining experience enjoyable from start to finish. Overall, I highly recommend Tijuana Flats for anyone craving tasty Mexican food. The combination of great tacos, a satisfying burrito, and top-notch service makes it a must-try!

    I had an incredible experience at the St. Cloud Tijuana Flats! I want to give a massive shoutout to Trisha for her outstanding customer service. This employee truly embodies the fun, welcoming vibe of Tijuana Flats and made my dining experience memorable. Even though it was busy, she was incredibly welcoming, quick with my order, and made sure my food was perfect. I’ll definitely be coming back to this location specifically because of how well they treat their customers. Thank you for making my meal so great Trish!

    Great service food was on point

    Update 2026: well we figured we would try it one more time since we stopped coming here. Disappointed once again , I specifically read off the dinner order to the girl and she still got the one dinner wrong. How??? She even asked " is that all you want in it " and I repeated it to her. How hard is it to get a simple dinner right? Time to call corporate and stop going here until they hire competent people. BTW one person didn't eat because of their screw up. 3 years ago: Got the order wrong once again! Why can't people read the ticket? Had to go back and get it made again because kids working here are too busy talking instead of checking the order. Not even an apology for making me drive back 6 miles to get the right food. Poor customer service, and not the first time they got it wrong.

    Awesome.

    Updated online app dosent work at all, you cant place an order whatsoever. Restaurant says they are aware. Chipotle, who happens to be across the street has a working app. People dont want to spend half of their lunch break waiting for food to cook. Do better

    The young lady running the register around 4:30pm on august 20 needs some lessons in customer service. When youre charging 15 dollars for miniscule portions the least you can do is smile and say please and thank you. Sitting like a cranky bulldog behind a register attracts no one.

    Those chicken flautas are amazing!

  • August 8, 2025

    Dear Tijuana Flats...count your days because if this is the portions of everything you give now in a "megajuana bowl", rectangle bowl; from a circular bowl from which you used to serve...we're better going to Chipotle. I ordered a megajuana bowl but I got a mini?! While writing this, I finished the bowl mid second sentence... stingy or being conservative with your indgrients...fine...but never again...

    I really enjoyed this restaurant. The decor is beautiful, full of details that reflect Mexican culture and create a very pleasant atmosphere. The service was excellent, with friendly and attentive staff. The food is good, although it has a slightly Americanized touch, but still enjoyable. Definitely a place I’d visit again.

    It says it’s closes at 10 I went to order at around 9:48-50 and it was all off and no cars in the lot, overall really bad experience!
