It’s difficult to remember a time when Mexican food didn’t play a dominant role in America’s tastebuds. No longer an unfamiliar food choice, Mexican food has become a mainstream food staple for most Americans. Americans love Mexican food and for good reason. In increasingly larger numbers and greater frequency, Americans are choosing Mexican restaurants in pursuit of the vibrant flavors this cuisine offers. This, of course, has made Mexican restaurants hugely popular. Let’s take a closer look at why Mexican restaurants are continuing to dominate the food scene and how Tijuana Flats has earned its position as a market leader.
1. Full Of Flavor
Mexican cuisine has a very distinct flavor profile that is brimming with spices that deliver bold flavors. There is no denying that Mexican food is as flavorful as it is fun. At Tijuana Flats we take full advantage of this differentiator by offering delicious, full-of-flavor Tex-Mex dishes that use traditional spices but add a unique twist. We also offer our proprietary hot sauce bar that brings the heat while delivering a fun tasting experience. By incorporating fresh ingredients and rich flavor profiles, our food is always crave worthy.
2. Nutritious And Delicious
Mexican food consisting of far more than just tacos and burritos – even though Americans love those two options. At Tijuana Flats we offer all of the dishes our guests expect, but we also provide menu variety with seasonal flavors, always fresh ingredients, and healthy options to delight our guests’ tastebuds. We incorporate a lot of healthy ingredients into each of our recipes, offering a variety of vegetables, proteins, and grains.

We have our staples like tacos, burritos, and quesadillas, but we are always providing new twists on these staples as well as adding new, limited-time menu offerings to keep things fresh and exciting for our guests. And, our hot sauce bar means guests can experiment with how they choose to top their food to create new flavors that they enjoy.
