Tijuana Flats

2-12-2013  Today a group of us went to Clermont for an MOD. Tijuana Flats was chosen due to their Tuesday special of tacos. This was a great meal.They had all sorts of sauces...some were so hot that it was suggested to wash your hands after touching the hot bar!!

Tijuana Flats was started by a young UCF graduate, Brian Wheeler in 1995 in Winter Park, Florida. It was modeled after Burrito Brothers in Gainesville, Florida and was funded by $20000 borrowed from Brian's Dad.
After the opening of the third location, a semi retired restaurant executive, Camp Fitch was invited to Tijuana Flats by his golf partner. In 1999, Fitch invested in the company and was appointed CEO to expand the company nationally. When the fourth location opened, the founder's Dad, Chester Wheeler, was reimbursed for his $20000 loan used to start the company and joined as CFO.
Tijuana Flats' 'Just in Queso Foundation' gives back to the community. Examples are remodeling a handicapped veteran's home, Breast Cancer Research and Kids beating Cancer.

A great place to eat. We so enjoyed becoming familiar with this  restaurant.


3/12/2013 We joined several of our Bounder Club friends at Tijuana Flats again for tacos today. Great time with all and great food as before.
