Hadn't seen this posted yet. Hope they serve beer so we have a pre basketball game choice.

When you say beer, if all they have is Bud and Miller products, I'm sticking with Burger U.

I know that you will go only if they have good wheat beer options.

Liquid silicone tastes better.

Do you like the food there? It's ok, I guess.

It's okay. The chicken sandwich is good. Sometimes I just have beer and fries and pick up Jimmy Johns on the way into the basketball game.

Gringos Locos is marginal, at best.

For quick service taco shops, I think they are the best around. A good double D blows the crap served by TJ Flats right out of the water.

eh. Yeah, most places are better than Tijuana Flats.

Tin and Taco (downtown) is owned by the same people that own Gringos Locos. Go there for good tacos. Highly recommend!

So now Tijuana Flats is out of vogue? What's wrong with their food?

It's not gourmet by any means but for the price it's pretty damn good. And the hot sauce bar is awesome.

No, I don't think so. I love Tijuana Flats, especially their hot sauce bar. If you want good standard tex mex tacos, at a good price TF is great.

If you want great tacos that are unique or a little different, go to Tin and Taco.

I've come to the conclusion that Gringos is only good at 2am after 12 beers.

 

[UCFKnight85]

TF is also now on Uber Eats to allow for ultimate lazy dining experience.

I'm here to both agree and disagree with frogerz. All three of Tin and Taco, Tijuana Flats, and Gringos are awesome. The guava empanadas are $$$.

 

[RobUCF]

More important question - if Tijuana Flats is out, where are we going to go for insider information during the next round of conference realignment?

 

[Poolside Knight]

so did this never open?

I heard the Hurricane delayed original plans but haven't seen any new updates lately

Is gringos ever going to open?

I don't get the appeal of it.

Tin & Taco downtown is much better. Glad they are expanding.

 

[UCFWayne]

tijuana flats is where i hear all the good info on ucf first*

It might be better, but I'm not driving all the way downtown when I am on campus.

I'd much rather go across the street to Chipotle than go to Gringos.

That right there is blasphemy.

I had to give up on Chipotle after it gave me a nausea induced 12 hour bug twice

fuzzy's tacos is pretty good

They're opening one up downtown. I'll give it a go - but the "generic" taco place is getting played out. We just got a California Tortilla too.

Tin and Taco is legit. Owned by same guys that own gringos locos.

I think the owners actually had a falling out and one owns Tin now. They’re opening up one in the SoDo area soon.

I don't know the details just that they come from the same place!

Where are the SJW on this name?

The California Tortilla closed a few months ago in Kissimmee. I went twice. It was meh. I'd rather have TF or Moes.
