Tijuana Flats Restaurants Heat Up Summer with Flavor-Packed Menu Innovations

This summer, Tijuana Flats Restaurants are giving fans a reason to crave Mexican cuisine all over again. From now through August 31, the beloved Florida-born brand is rolling out an exciting seasonal lineup that speaks to both tradition and bold innovation. With slow-cooked Backyard Barbacoa, a crave-worthy Street Corn Dip, and a fiery-sweet Mango Jalapeño Agua Fresca, this limited-time offering brings heat, heart, and authenticity to the table.

The Star of the Season: Backyard Barbacoa

Tijuana Flats didn’t just add another protein to the menu—they went deep into flavor development, pulling from research and culinary inspiration rooted in Mexico. The new Backyard Barbacoa is tender, slow-cooked beef infused with garlic, chili, and bold spices. This rich, savory option complements favorites like chicken, steak, and shrimp, and can be layered into burritos, bowls, tacos, or salads.

Hosting dinner at home? You can also bring the flavor to your table with an upgraded Family Meal Kit. Add Backyard Barbacoa to the Taco Kit for four for just $3, or to the Burrito and Fiesta Kits for six for an additional $6.

A Dip That Deserves Attention

Also new to the summer spread is the Street Corn Dip, a creamy blend of charred corn, chili-lime crema, cotija cheese, and subtle spice, served with fresh tortilla chips. It’s the kind of side that steals the spotlight—and it pairs perfectly with Tijuana Flats’ bold entrées.

Sip Something New: Mango Jalapeño Agua Fresca

When it comes to beverages, Tijuana Flats has long offered creative, refreshing options—and this season’s newest drink doesn’t disappoint. The Mango Jalapeño Agua Fresca is a sweet and spicy refresher that brings together juicy mango, a spark of jalapeño, and a splash of citrus. It joins the fan-favorite Watermelon Agua Fresca as part of the brand’s colorful, nonalcoholic drink selection.

More Than a Menu—A Full-On Experience

These seasonal additions continue a broader transformation under CEO James Greco, who’s leading the brand through a guest-focused evolution. For nearly 30 years, Tijuana Flats has built its name on bold flavors, made-to-order meals, and over-the-top hospitality—and the Hot Bar remains a staple experience, offering 10 signature sauces to dial your spice level exactly where you want it.

Available for dine-in, carryout, and online ordering, this summer’s menu drop is designed for convenience as much as it is for flavor.
