I spent some of my formative teenage years growing up in Florida and, to this day, I have fond memories of a Sunshine State staple. Tijuana Flats started just outside of Orlando and soon spread all over the state and beyond. It had been long since I partook in any of their radical Tex-Mex creations, however. I heard the news recently that made me jump up and down with joy (quite literally, I might add): the first Tijuana Flats in Tennessee has now opened and is located in one of my favorite towns, Pigeon Forge! So you better believe we got in the car and headed straight to this heaven-on-earth spot.

I am very passionate that we now have our first Tijuana Flats in Tennessee. This is a monumental opening and we couldn’t be happier having our favorite restaurant in our own state. If you are looking for slightly weird and funny jokes mixed with delicious Tex-Mex, this is the place for you. For more information or to place an online order please visit the Tijuana Flats website.
