THE HEAT CONTINUES TO HIT CENTRAL FLORIDA
Tijuana Flats Opens in Lake Nona; First Central Florida Opening for 2009
ORLANDO, Fla. On Monday, March 23, hunger will once again meet its match as Tijuana Flats, famous for its fresh Tex-Mex food and its unique ambiance, opens its latest restaurant location in Orlandoʼs Lake Nona community at 9161 Narcoossee Road.
The Tijuana Flats Lake Nona location is the company's first opening in the Central Florida region this year. The next scheduled location, Ocala, is a new demographic territory for the company.
This new location will feature Tijuana Flats' made-to-order menu, a 14-pump hot sauce bar and all the lively atmosphere patrons have come to expect from the Tex-Mex powerhouse. The 2,000-square-foot restaurant will accommodate seating for more than 100 visitors, with indoor
and outdoor patio seating.
Anyone who has experienced a Tijuana Flats knows about its brightly colored wall murals. The mural at the latest location is no exception. Using vibrant colors, it incorporates an out of this world Sci-Fi theme, featuring a one-of-a-kind mural, custom designed by Tijuana Flats' graffiti artist Justin Peterson. Patrons will definitely stop and take notice of this extraordinary scene that gives Tijuana Flats its flare and uniqueness.
"Central Florida has truly embraced and welcomed Tijuana Flats throughout the years," said Tijuana Flats owner, Brian Wheeler. "Without the ongoing support and patronage of our hometown, Tijuana Flats would not have become what it is today. We are excited to continue to expand in the market."
To commemorate the opening, Tijuana Flats is entering every guest who comes in during opening week for a chance to win one of four $250 gift cards. In addition, additional Tijuana Flats prizes will be awarded.
