Editorial Review for Tijuana Flats – by Sylvia Whitman
The Scene
Inspired by pub crawling during his days at UF and UCF, Brian Wheeler borrowed $20,000 from his father to create a college-town eatery for the Orlando area. This first outlet on University spawned the growing chain that features small tables inside and out on the sidewalk, flaming phantasmagoric images on the walls and runners who deliver orders by calling out first names.
The Food
It's fast Tex-Mex without lard or heat lamps. Burritos come in regular and hearty Tijuana size. Choose the stuffing: mildly spiced ground beef, chicken, bean, or a mix, wrapped with cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, jalapenos and sour cream. For a lighter meal, try chicken quesadillas, blackened for the most flavor. Skip mediocre chili. Tijuana Flats innovations include blue tortilla cups for sides of salsa and a hot-sauce bar dispensers with concoctions like Chickens**t, a fire and mustard combo, and Thai sweet chili. Heed the labels.
