What People's Say About Place

Mobile ordering was difficult logging on and off. Very clunky. Food was delicious and helpful staff. Clean tables and floors. Positive all around.

Great location, have been going there for years. Sorry to see Patrick left, but Alec and the rest have picked up any slack. Food is consistent and relatively fast.

Well managed place with Wonderful staff and great Tacos. Visited for dinner on a Tuesday evening.They have some special offers which they call Tijuana Tuesdays for special taco nights. They also have their own app which makes it easy to order in advance to avoid any wait times and also helps to accumulate some credits for frequent visitors. We ordered on App in advance and when we arrived,the staff were sweet to convert it to in-house order instead of take away. The tacos are great with various options to customize both in terms of size and fillings. Atom bombs under appetizers section are a must try for cheese lovers. Portions are great for the price. Definitely going back.

The staff was friendly from the start! I ordered the poblano pepper and grilled onion burrito and it was really excellent. I added some of their Rasta and sweet chili sauce and that just topped it off perfectly!!!

Went on a Saturday and the special was a 2 for 22 which was a great value. Overall the food was decent. The best part was the sauce bar. The heat scale makes no sense because there are ones that are supposed to be on the same level that are not even close. The sauces themselves are great but don’t trust the scale. The queso wasn’t the best. It kind of reminded of the cheese you get on nachos at a stadium. It still tasted good but it wasn’t what I was expecting. The customer service was spectacular. The lady that greeted us was super nice and had good recommendations. The customer service will probably be the reason I go back.

The custom chicken burritos are very filling and great! I like the side of chips they always come with especially when I get to dip them in one of the variety of hot sauces they provide for self-serve. Their side of large guacamole is a good size and delicious in comparison to a lot of other sides of guacamole in other establishment's. We waited anywhere we wanted until our names were called as they brought out the to-go bag.

This is our go to for Taco Tuesday their taco Tuesday is well priced, and the staff pleasant, helpful, and friendly. See you Tuesday's

Dude, I love TJ Flats. I used to go to the one in FWB all the time till I had to move from Florida due to military reasons. As soon as I saw there was one near my hotel I was there. The staff is always friendly and goes the distance to explain the menu and was patient with my kids who are sometimes shy and have trouble asking for what they want. While I was checking the hot sauce bar the staff came over and recommended her favorites as well. Then she came to the table a good amount of times to make sure we had everything we needed and wanted. We relaxed and talked about what my kids want to do while in Tampa and they never seemed to rush us. I gave an extra tip because we were there longer as we were catching up after not seeing them for almost a year. I appreciated the time a lot. I always enjoy TJ Flats!
