Tijuana Flats

ORLANDO, Fla. (SEPTEMBER 14, 2012) - On Monday, September 24, Tijuana Flats, famous for its fresh Tex-Mex food and unique ambiance, opens a new location in Jacksonville at 2025 Riverside Ave. 

 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 1,645-square-foot restaurant will accommodate indoor and patio seating for 90 guests.  Anyone who has experienced Tijuana Flats knows about its brightly colored wall murals. The mural at this location is no exception, portraying a huge, laser-carrying robot ready to zap anyone who can’t handle the Tijuana Flat hot bar.
