Restaurants
Tijuana Flats is a "fast casual" hybrid, where customers order at the counter and seat themselves, but are served at their table afterwards. It serves burritos, chimichangas, tacos, nachos, flautas and other Mexican food. There are health options for low-fat cheese, fat-free sour cream and whole-wheat tortillas. It also has vegetarian and "wet" options, a children's menu and take-out. As of 2008, the average check was $8 at lunch and $13 at dinner. The restaurant has 88 locations in Florida, Indiana, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Virginia.
Tijuana Flats restaurant locations have murals and the company uses unusual slogans like "embrace the strange and unexplained" and "hot is the new cool." The restaurants are known for their salsa bars, artwork and a hot sauce brand called "Smack My Ass & Call Me Sally." 98 percent of revenues from the Just in Queso hot sauce are donated to charitable causes like the American Red Cross, Soldiers Angels and Frontline Head Start. The hot sauce bar has 13 sauces and customers under eighteen years old aren't allowed at the bar.

Famous quotes containing the word restaurants:
“restless nights in one-night cheap hotels
And sawdust restaurants with oyster-shells:
Streets that follow like a tedious argument
Of insidious intent”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
“In the United States all business not transacted over the telephone is accomplished in conjunction with alcohol or food, often under conditions of advanced intoxication. This is a fact of the utmost importance for the visitor of limited funds ... for it means that the most expensive restaurants are, with rare exceptions, the worst.”
—John Kenneth Galbraith (b. 1908)
“As the global expansion of Indian and Chinese restaurants suggests, xenophobia is directed against foreign people, not foreign cultural imports.”
—Eric J. Hobsbawm (b. 1917)
