But the menu IS an actual, hand-held menu, which you pick up by the door and peruse while waiting your turn at the counter. Tijuana Flats is a modified fast-food style operation in that you go up to the aforementioned service counter to place your order and pay, and the food will be delivered to your table when ready. Where it gets perhaps a bit intimidating for the first-timer, as I mentioned, is in the ordering of your food. There is also reasonable seating (covered tables, a few benches) outside that do help. There is room to put together seating for slightly larger parties than the normal four but the busyness of Tijuana Flats - and it is pretty brisk- might make it difficult. Walking in, the dining seems a touch cramped, but works okay in the arrangement presented. The open shelving one finds particularly behind the service counter does give that impression, but is rather more about utilitarian display of product more on that shortly. The artwork splashed across the walls again doesn't really speak to the establishment's Mexican cuisine, but it's very colorful and charming. What greets you is entirely charming, but also perhaps a touch intimidating the first time. The store-front location - set back and not terribly visible from the roadway - doesn't really present as Mexican, so one is unsure what to expect walking in for the first time. So I expected it to be pretty good, and so it was! I had long heard of Tijuana Flats, but never actually gone, when some good friends suggested it one Friday evening.
