24 Best Tex-Mex Restaurants near Altamonte Springs

“I saw a person, going to different tables, and I was not sure if it was a he or she, as it was the body of a men, but the face was made up to be a woman. I assume he was a transgender? The waitress informed me that he was the Manager, and he was just expressing himself. A restaurant is not the place to do this. I will be writing to the Company. This was totally disgusting to see a Manager of a restaurant acting out.“

“We were so disappointed when our local Tijuana Flats closed, but we’re happy to say we’ve found our new go-to spot for Taco Tuesday! From the moment we walked in, Sophia provided outstanding customer service—friendly, attentive, and welcoming.

The food was absolutely delicious—fresh, flavorful, and served in generous portions. Everything came out quickly and tasted amazing.

We’ll definitely be back and are excited to make this our new Taco Tuesday tradition!“

“Went during lunch rush, but it wasn't too busy. Server was great and kept on top of our needs. Food came out SUPER quick. I mean scary quick. I had a burger, and it was close to too rare. Mushy in the middle. The bacon was great though. Overall not a horrible meal. Quick service to get you in and out.“

“ToGo is super easy. Mary Beth made transaction happen with no wait. Super quick. Ty“

“They have the best wings & margaritas!!!“

“Great Chilis’ like I used to go regular in North Charleston in International Blvd.…& Chilis in Jacksonville , Florida whenever i dive from Charleston to Orlando or Orlando to Charleston, I stop by few of the great people there…this is another great Chilis in Apopka , Florida – good customers and good people working across in this particular restaurant. I frequently visit due to the good atmosphere and nice people working there. To mention: Kevin the GM is down to earth – on the first time, he went out of the way “hello” even though I was sitting far off…Nikki said he is genuinely nice and wonderful…that is shown in his action, deeds not just words. I used to like Mrs. Tina I used to go there from 2017.on and off whenever I visit on a weekend to see my family…Manny used to be there- he is still long time dedicated to Chilis… Great, nice people worth mentioning are: This is not in sequence or chronological – whomsoever comes in my mind and just jotting down there is no this is the first person or second person please…. sorry to be brutally honest, ethical, integrity and upfront: 1. Ms. Cindy who helped to fix the Vegetarian meal for me and later she and Ricky together made that happen- Very conscious, she does not worry about appreciation or so, she works hard, truthful and cares for customers during Theresa’s incident one of the Thursdays in May 2024. 2. Mr. Scott brother- they say he is new- but super quick, sharp and he goes out of the way to help, if any bartender or serving or doing lot of things- he goes and helps the customers, he has a great attitude. Cares lot for the nation. Love that brother Scott. Once Scott and Kevin worked on the radio – they were smiling, since I was joking with them – Great Team … 3. Nikki – super good and great bartender – some of them come for her sake on Tuesdays and she has a great serving tables according to the Young kid like Brandon even though he is tall in the Organization in that Branch of Chilis- like Michale Jordan -just kidding. 4. Danielle – she is incredibly soft, nice, and good person always- great friendly attitude…nice hard working and can-do double shift- very sincere. 5. Kimmie- some of the customers like her most…. like Theresa and Carol always talks nice about her…Kathy too. 6. Few of the front host also. I did not get her name. I remember one Ashley I think, or I forgot one…She does not get scared for work or Amber -cannot remember. 7. Manny is regular as always as I mentioned above…Chilis is the place he is dedicated to work …all the time. 8. Ricky is great – sharp and intelligent. 9. Mike who serves and has a particularly good attitude, someone said he works on Monday, Tuesday, and one another day- I cannot remember. 10. Brandon is a good person. Young, loves music and dancing and is a friendly person.

“love the new bar design and new/old menu. Chris our bartender was awesome!“

“Giving a five star review- not because of perfection, (close, but no one is 🤩 ) and not because Tijuana Flats offers top notch costly meals and services; this rating is based on the quality and flavor, as well as the ever friendly staff and atmosphere.
The food here is delicious, well prepared, fresh, and not overly priced. We have our favorites, (like the “Dos Tacos” and “Atom Bombs”, the Chicken Chimichanga, and now adding the Tostadas to that list). We normally get the beef tacos, and the chicken chimichanga, all served with chips that are made fresh. Something to mention about the chicken choices-blackened chicken is good, but chunky- where the regular chicken is shredded, which we like better. Everything is made to order, with your specific taste profile in mind. We also enjoy the amazing sauce bar, where you can choose the sauce with the flavor of your liking; our top favorite is the “Smack My Sweet A$$ & Call Me Sally”, which has a delicious sweet yet spicy flavor that isn’t too hot- but if you prefer more of a kick, feel free to climb that hot, spicy and flavorful ladder- it’s safe to say that you’ll find the right one! After you’ve finished your meal, make sure to leave room for dessert… we love the “Cookie Dough Flautas”, which are flour tortillas stuffed with cookie dough and deep fried, sprinkled with powdered sugar with chocolate syrup to dip them in if you prefer. You can call in an order, or make an order online or on the app, or come in and sit down and enjoy the fun artwork and friendly atmosphere. Most have indoor/outdoor seating as well. All of them have the “Hot Bar” station, to grab the sauces I mentioned above. They have a selection of bottled sauces that you can purchase to take home and enjoy. They also have a great drink selection, with a few choices you don’t see elsewhere.
We now go to the Hunt Club location, located in the Apopka area, off of 436. Great staff, and any interaction we’ve had with Josh, the manager, has always been stellar. Great people, great location.
To sum it up, this place offers delicious fresh meals that hit the spot. Highly recommended. We’ve been customers since the first Tijuana Flats opened up in Winter Park- and we have been more than happy with them ever since.“

“I visit the Tijuana Flats Longwood every Tuesday. Most of the time I am very satisfied with my order. Today I was not! Tacos were cold, Just about no cheese, no jalapeño peppers as ordered plus received jalapeño sauce instead of the habanero sauce I ordered. To top it off ordered queso and did not receive it. No more curbside pick up for me. I will now walk into restaurant and check my entire order before I leave. Very disappointed and my not leave a tip next time. Appeared to be totally confused today. Also no receipt so could not do survey.“

“Jessie and Rey at cantina always gives the best service! They are the reason I decide to go to every taco Tuesday and keep returning to cantina 💕 def a must go to if in the area.“

“Muy buena atención y los tacos riquisimos“

“Best in town for Taco 🌮 Tuesday!“

“Every single time I come here they seem to be under staffed and the person ringing up the food is also bagging up all the to-go’s and it’s 2024 everyone is getting food to go. I always wait in line to even order for more than 10 minutes watching the worker bag up food it’s very frustrating. The workers work very hard it’s not their fault just get more employees please!“

“This restaurant is efficiently run. The manager, Kim, knows her "stuff". She has trained her staff to be both professional and courteous. I feel like royalty when I visit on Taco Tuesdays.“

“Excellent vegan tofu bowl with both beans, some rice, all sautéed veggies, corn salsa, most raw veggies, topped with guac, pico, hot sauce on a bed of romaine. The absolute best meal. Soo good. SO GLAD YOU HAVE TOFU! Chips with green salsa verde!Thank you! #veganatmoes! OH....vegan queso would be amazing🌿🧀“
