I was greeted as soon as I walked in the door the place was not packed it was a Thursday dinner time they had outdoor seating plus a bar area. They had a wide variety on the menu. The chips were hot the salsa was fresh the cilantro hadn't even wilted yet in the salsa! The enchiladas we're hot they came out fast there was a large portion of rice and beans I also got a side of the Berea Taco because I want to try it and it was very good I will definitely be getting those again. Topped off the meal with their fried ice cream it was very good the display was very good the service was very good.“

“In my opinion, Culver's is like Chick-fil-A, but better due to their menu selection. Like Chick-fil-A, their service is awesome, workers are super friendly,and the establishment is very clean. If you go, make sure to get their world famous cheese curds! Don't forget to use my upgrade hacks...you can upgrade your fries to cheese curds, and the fountain drink to a milkshake, or famous concrete at a small upcharge!“

“Great food good service“

“We had a make your own salad bowl (edible and delish) and three street tacos. The chicken, carne asada, and the sweet pork... ALL so delicious!! Pricing is great especially if you compare to a whole meal at McD's, being almost the same price! Will be back again for sure!!“

“I hadn't been to this store before or little Caesars since I was a child .
This establishment not only is reasonable in price , they also handled a massive order of 10 to 20 pizzas in 15 minutes.
Ordered multiple days in a row from the ocala horse park .
There worth the visit and trip to town just like back in the day .

Way to go team happy returning customer.
Customer service is awesome family environment.“

“My husband and I were there today (3/14/26) everything was exceptional, the food was great and came out hot. The best thing was our waiter. I don’t remember his name, but he was on loaner from Inverness due to short staffing. He was so polite, even a little bit of a comedian and was very good at his job. It was a pleasure to have been seated at his table. If you can’t give him a raise, then please give him a shout out and an acknowledgement! Thank you“

“We had just left another restaurant because no one would even greet us at the door to get a table. We came over to Tiajuana Flats and the two girls working out front were absolutely amazing! They were so nice, the restaurant was clean, we didn't see the cook obviously, but our food came out fast, fresh, and delicious! We thank your team for turning our evening around and treating us as every customer should be treated.“

“my husband and I are celebrating our 36th anniversary. We have been wanting prime rib and found that on Mondays, They have two prime rib dinners for $40. Chrissy the server was very attentive and blessed us with a piece of key lime pie. Thank you! we appreciated the extra attention!The food was good and came out in a timely manner. The back of the restaurant could use some re-decorating.“
