My sister mentioned that she had heard this place was closing, so I was able to get some interior shots in advance of that last week. I wish I had gotten the hot sauce bar, which was an impressive array of pumps.<\/p>\n

Initially, I wasn't quite sure what to make of Tijuana Flats<\/i> (and kept thinking it was Tortilla Flats<\/i> for some reason..). It wasn't like a Moe's<\/i> or Qdoba<\/i> building hand-held burritos, and it wasn't really a sit-down Mexican restaurant, but somewhere in between the two. I finally figured it out though, and liked the place pretty well. In the summer, the front sidewalk was generally in the shade by the time I would get there, and it was nice to eat outside. In the winter, I liked to go the the back of the store and sit in the sunshine coming through the back windows. My only real criticisms are that I thought they needed a drink stand so you didn't have to go begging for refills (which they were happy to provide, but it's a quirk of mine) and I thought they should go with the sit-down Mexican restaurant concept of free salsa with the chips.<\/p>\n

I'm pretty sure this is the first closing for the fairly new Jackson Square<\/a> strip mall, though of course the whole former strip mall on the site was closed and razed years ago. The Tijuana Flats<\/i> Lexington location remains open.<\/p>\n

(Hat tip to my sister)<\/p>\n
