Tijuana Flats

Tijuana Flats Set to Open Second South Florida Location This Year in Coconut Creek on June 22

On Monday, June 22, hunger will meet its match as Tijuana Flats, famous for its fresh Tex-Mex food and its unique ambiance, opens its latest restaurant location in the Caligo Crossings Shopping Center at 6970 SR 7 in Coconut Creek, Fla.
This is the second Tijuana Flats to open in South Florida in 2009 as part of the company's plans for a larger expansion into the market. In March, Tijuana Flats opened a location in Wellington, Fla. Two more locations are planned to open in South Florida throughout the remainder of the year: Miramar and Palm Beach Gardens.
The Coconut Creek 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 2,400-square-foot restaurant will accommodate indoor seating for 75 visitors, with seating for an additional 45 in the outdoor patio area.
Anyone who has experienced Tijuana Flats knows about its brightly colored wall murals. The mural at the latest location is no exception, incorporating a cosmic-space hero with highlights accented at night with LED lights in the dining room.
In addition, the restaurant incorporates energy efficient equipment, taking some initial steps in becoming more environmentally cautious. They include:
- Light Emitting Diode (LED) lamps that offer substantially better energy balance than traditional incandescent bulbs
- An Energy Management System (EMS) hood which drastically reduces energy usage
- Tankless water heaters that are 30 percent more energy efficient than traditional natural gas water heaters and up to 50 percent more efficient than electric water heaters
- Solar powered timers in the kitchen
- Low flow toilets that significantly reduce water usage
- Front of the house tile is made from 40 percent pre-consumer recycled materials
To commemorate the opening, Tijuana Flats is offering every guest who comes in during opening week a chance to win one of four $250 gift cards and other Tijuana Flats prizes.
Winners will be announced during the restaurant's "Rock Out With Your Guac Out!" party on Friday, June 26 at 7:30 p.m. and must be present to win. There is no purchase necessary to enter.
