Tijuana Flats
Home of the "Smack Me Sally" hot sauce. We've eaten before at Tijuana in Winter Park, FL a couple of years ago, so it prompted us to give the location here in the Jacksonville Beaches a try. Tijuana Flats is a unique vibe in every location, hail backs to 60's/70's popular art and artists. The ceiling tiles are hand painted with individual touches, and the Beaches one actually has an impressive wall mural.
No location is complete without the hotbar. This was our third visit in two weeks and a new tastebud killer was installed, vidallia peach. I knew better than to try, these people are professionals.
First go round we both were cautious with a couple of taco salads. Wasn't quite enough to get us full, but we were impressed with the quality and said we'd try it again. The tortilla chips were the most awesome ever. I made the mistake of a cheese quesadilla. I say mistake because I said nothing on the quesadilla, thinking nothing baked in it and they sent it to me totally naked. Bummer, won't do that again- these people take you seriously when you state your toppings so be sure to clarify. They also have very fresh jalepenos, so beware.
The second time he got a megajuana (mega, large, regular) burrito and chimichanga. It was a stuffer, the burrito easily trumps the Taco Bell grilled stuft burritos and SouthEast Burrito company. Too bad the Tijuana doens't offer the variety they do, like the vegan or medditerranian or fish and shrimp. There was easily a pound of chicken in the enchillada, it was muy excellante. The tosadas I got are basically loaded baked nachos.. I thought it wouldn't be enough food but I shouldn't have feared. It wasn't what I was expecting though- a box of their tortilla chips with melted cheese and all the toppings.
Third time was yesterday, we had the craving. He got a megajuana of both blackened chicken burrito and chimi, I got just plain chicken and their Tortilla Trio (Salsa, queso, and guacamole). He got so stuffed and swore never again to get that much food. There were enough chips left over I'm eating them with my lunch. By far, the best chips. Mmmmm.
