“It feels like people hate on chilis because that’s just the thing to do with chain restaurants. But they forget that the people running it are locals. This location has consistently been one of the best chilis I’ve been too. We’ve moved around the country a lot and been to MANY locations. They offer a great variety of plates from those on a budget (“3 for me” deal) to those wanting to feast (Smokehouse platters). Obviously, the triple dipper is the GOAT. Staff is super friendly and personable. Service is always quick. Food is consistent and reliably delicious. No complaints ever from this spot.“

“Tijuana Flats, 10 E. New Haven Avenue, Suite 103, Melbourne, Florida 32901 4-Stars (Chain Restaurant Rating) Amazingly, prior to this review I had never patronized a Tijuana Flats, although I have been seeing them around Central Florida for the past 20 or 30 years and would sometimes have vague malnoia that I might be missing out on something good. Tijuana Flats falls into an interesting category of not fast food and not sit down. In 1995, Brian Wheeler--at the time, just a taco-loving college student--borrowed some money from his dad to open the first Tijuana Flats in Winter Park, Florida. It has since grown to 123 locations in four states, three of them in the Melbourne area. In addition to their quick casual food, they have a large assortment of fun hot sauces of varying intensities you can sample at the hot sauce bar. Find one you can't live without? You can purchase one or more bottles to bring home some heat and spice up your life. Jovi is our food facilitator, and she is wonderfully charming and helpful. If you are tired of burgers and want some exciting great tasting food, I'd advise you to try the following: Garlic Lime Shrimp Bowl with well-seasoned sauteed shrimp, cilantro lime rice (cooked correctly), black beans, poblano peppers and onions, corn salsa, garlic lime sauce, guac, queso fresco, cilantro cabbage and pickled red onions. A truly delightful offering. Cheesy Steak Flautas, two lightly fried tortillas with marinated steak, fajita pepper and onions, garlic lime sauce and cheese. Served with queso, pico, guac, sour cream, and jalapeños. A dish that was prepared quickly and tasted great. The Big Boy says, "Craving fast Mexican? Forget Taco Bell, run to Tijuana!"“

“Omg I stopped going here for YEARS because the food got so small a crappy and everyone seems annoyed that they had to make my food . I came back today because I had a coupon and wow the burrito was so big I couldn’t finish it and the meat was fresh and lots of chips! I feel like the new manager is definitely doing his job I’ll definitely come back and tell people how awesome it is now“
