Stopped in on a whim. Seated quickly. Staff was friendly. Had the big burrito. It was large. Good flavor. Beans and rice were hot and tasted good. DW had Margarita. Large and well mixed. Overall fun place.

It was July 4th. So, I thought I'd celebrate Independence Day with a late lunch that I'm sure President Trump would enjoy. After all, nobody claims to know more about Mexico...and probably Mexican food...than our esteemed leader.

I had passed Tijuana Taxi Company for years as I drove down University Drive. So, I figured I'd give it a try.

Visually, the restaurant is very presentable. It's brightly lit on the inside, with a lot of color. Outside they have a deck with tables. Ceiling fans are there to cut the heat a bit by blowing piped in, air conditioning.

What impressed me at Tijuana Taxi Company was that they have some of the prettiest waitresses around, all of them smiling and friendly. These girls really seemed to like working here.

My waitress, Kayla, went out of her way to serve me. I chatted with her for a few minutes after I'd finished my meal. This cheerful, lovely young lady is working two jobs so that she can return to college to study psychology. Kayla is a 2nd generation American. (Her family came from the Dominican Republic.) Perhaps if the President was dining with me he'd understand the value, the work ethic and the intelligence that young immigrants like Kayla bring to our country.

Prices are very reasonable here, especially at lunch. I ordered their Combo #3 ($7.99), which included an enchilada, a chicken chimichanga, Spanish rice and refried beans. Before it came a complimentary basket of chips with some of the tastiest salsa for dipping that I've had.

My main dish was artfully presented on a colorful glass plate.

What surprised me was that a dish that looked this good didn't have a great taste. The sides...the refried beans and Spanish rice...were excellent. But, the main features of the dish, the enchilada and the chimichanga, just didn't taste as good to me as I have had at other nearby Tex-Mex restaurants. There was something of an aftertaste that I just didn't care for. That's why I'm giving Tijuana Taxi Company a 3 rating rather than a 4 or 5, which they deserve for overall ambiance and friendly, efficient service.

Taste being personal, though, I suggest you visit the Tijuana Taxi Company and judge for yourself. They certainly go all out to please their customers. As busy as they were they are obviously doing something very right. Give them a try!

Not impressed. We had fajitas and margaritas. The margaritas were nothing more than margarita mix, no hint of tequila and the chicken fajita was nothing to brag about. It was busy but I truly don’t know what the buzz is about. On the other hand, the chips and salsa were good.

Four of us ate here and chose all different things. I had a chicken quesadilla that was big and tasted good. An hour after I was done I felt like someone poured a 50 lb bag of cement into my gut! Mind you I don't eat any condiments and eat very little fries. My other guests felt the same way liked the taste,people were friendly,place was nice just the whole rest of my day and motivation and mobility were shot from how that sat in me.

This is a great place where you can enjoy with friends a drink or come eat with the family. The decorations inside are great and the food is good at affordable prices. The lunch menu features many items that will come to your table quickly and best is most are priced $6 to $8. Their regular menu features so many options that no matter who you are with should be able to find something to like. I have been here 3 times since I first found it and enjoy each one of the visits. Seating can be inside or outside, all of them comfortable. I recommend it!
