Tijuana flats sarasota3/9/2024 ![]() ![]() This place is different and I'd enjoy that if I didn't feel it was all set up to distract you from that fact that, once you add a soda, you just paid close to ten dollars for little more than a whole lotta lettuce, a small sprinkling of tiny pieces of meat (not even equivalent to two chicken nuggets) and a squirt of sour cream on a cheap pre-made tortilla. I like spicy, but not to the level of taste-destroying ridiculousness. The only sauce I found that wouldn't make you feel like that exploding chicken-guy (or the other cartoon guy I mentioned), tasted more like sweet egg roll sauce not compatable with a taco or burrito. The place has a funky, "loud" feel with plenty of graffiti-ish pictures on the walls, noise, dark lighting, and a self-serve sauce-applying area of mostly extremely hot taco sauces that have names with "Kick (fill in the blank)" on the description cards complete with little cartoon graphics like a sweaty, hot, ready-to-explode chicken-guy or another with a guy's rear end hanging out of his pants (to really bring home the "" part of the name). As it is, I still roll the dice every few months because when it's good, it's REALLY GOOD.This is a cafeteria-style type of place, where you order at a counter and then sit down for the food to be brought to you. If they'd just pay a little more attention to freshness It would be easily the best food for the money in town. I've also encountered the odd stale tortilla bowl or serving of chips. ![]() I'd happily pay a little more for my food if I they'd just start throwing their old stuff away instead of putting it on my food. They have, for years now, served me guacamole and pico have begun to turn and have a sharp, sour taste, indicating they probably sat in the fridge a day or two longer than they should have. My major gripe is quality control on their condiments. Two big tacos, beans, rice, chips and a drink (with crushed ice, which is unusual and nice) comes to about $8. Value is one of my favorite things about Tijuana Flats. The hot sauce bar is a neat touch but I don't think anyone tries the really hot ones before they add them, a few have been awful. Ground beef is your best bet as the other meats are occasionally dry or tough.
