Food Fridays: Tijuana Flats
Tijuana Flats is an American restaurant chain serving Tex-Mex cuisine. It has 100 locations throughout Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, Virginia, Pennsylvania and Indiana.
Having never experienced Tijuana Flats before, we were excited when we were invited to attend a special event in Orlando this week. We brought the kids with us to get their opinions as mini foodies themselves. Here is what we found:
Tijuana Flats mixes all the things we love here at The Backstage Beat.
Art: Each location is unique and painted with some of the best graffiti style murals I have seen! Each location has art that is specific to its location. The Orlando restaurant has the city in the mural, with some other really crazy stuff too!
Food: Some heat with some tasty meat… yep, Its true, Tijuana Flats combines some really spicy sauce with some amazingly unique meat filled burritos.
521 Kitchen and Que is located in Atlanta off Roswell Road and is our pick for ordering your Holiday Meal this year, and dinner tonight!
Owned by local Atlanta couple, Drew and Roma Kirkland, this is by far one of the best BBQ’s we have been to. One thing that strikes us in particular about this restaurant is their commitment to locally sourced and fresh food. Also, they are vegetarian and gluten free friendly. Vegetarian? A BBQ restaurant is vegetarian friendly? Yes, believe it or not, as Roma told us, there are quite a lot of vegetarians that love to grab a bite at 521 Kitchen and Que.
As someone that works with my significant other, I loved the fact that the “521” in 521 Kitchen and Que is their anniversary date. Awe… Heart melts.
So, long story short; We sampled all the yummy goodies they have and for your holiday meals, do yourself a favor and let them cook it.
Must have picks:
Turkey – Moist and Delicious. All your guests will be impressed.
Kale Slaw – So delightful! It doesn’t have the bitterness you might expect from Kale. It is definitely worth getting
Baked Sweet Potato – Cooked perfectly, season with salt and pepper
Brisket – Melt in your mouth delicious!
Let’s just say that we loved everything we tried and we are certain you will too.
Go ahead and try them for lunch or dinner! While you are there, place your holiday order! Do it quickly!
Midtown-Atlanta’s scrumptious Melting Pot will have a delicious 4th of July menu available–and it’s 1/4 off! Skip the grill on your holiday, because there will be a meal for everyone to enjoy aside from burgers and hot dogs. Personally, I’d get all over that watermelon and feta salad. And the Buffalo chicken.
