Tijuana Flats

On Monday, August 27, Tijuana Flats, famous for its fresh Tex-Mex food and unique ambiance, opens its third location in St. Petersburg at 10300 Roosevelt Boulevard North.

This new location will feature Tijuana Flatsʼ fresh, made-to-order menu, a 15-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 indoor and patio seating for 148 guests. Anyone who has experienced Tijuana Flats knows about its brightly colored wall murals. The mural at this location is no exception, portraying zombies in a band, appropriately called “The Zombeez,” with the lead singer resembling a post-apocalyptic Elvis.

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
- 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
- A tankless water heater
