Tijuana Flats Hemptation #TFlatsHemp

Posted on 8:57 AM by rockroll
Hemptation has arrived at Tijuana Flats. With more than 100 locations, the fast-casual Mexican chain does edgy well. You may know their cutting-edge decor, not so typical hot sauce bar, and feisty menu of Mexican favorites. They are taking their edginess one step further by rolling out their new, limited time, Hemptation menu. I was recently invited to sample the Hemptation menu with some fellow Tampa Bay Bloggers including one of my favorites, SandBookWich. (All opinions below are my own).



The three stars of the Hemptation promotion were developed by Tijuana Flats employees in an internal contest. They winners are:

The Pie Roller
A pizza burrito with pepperoni, red sauce, mozzarella cheese, fajita peppers, onions, and mushrooms. Toasted and topped with red sauces, pepperoni, and cheese. Kind of like a supreme pizza in burrito form. I could eat the tortilla covered with sauce and cheese just by itself, it was that good.



Tree Hugger
A vegetarian burrito with roasted poblanos, mushrooms, onions, cilantro cream cheese, crushed tortilla chips, cheese, and queso. I loved the cilantro cream cheese and crushed chips in this!



Sweet Hemptation
Crispy chicken, churros, and bacon with cinnamon sugar, maple syrup, queso, cheese, and onions. Think chicken and waffles wrapped up as a sweet little burrito package. This would be perfect for weekend brunch. This was my surprisingly my favorite burrito of the night.


In addition to these Hemptation features, we also got to try some other Tijuana Flats favorites: Tortilla chips with queso and guacamole, the Atom Bomb, and my new favorite dessert, Banana Empanadas!

The Atom Bomb is a lightly fried tortilla stuffed with cream cheese and diced jalapenos. This was super spicy to me (I'm a spice wimp) but I would love this even more with some sautéed mushrooms stuffed inside.



The Banana Empanadas were the perfect sweet treat to wrap up the meal. Warm bananas with cinnamon sugar and a caramel dipping sauce stuffed into a sweet little hand held empanada package. Tip: Order these to-go and take them home to top them with a big ol' scoop of vanilla ice cream.



Stop by your local Tijuana Flats soon to try the Hemptation menu. These featured burritos will be available until early September. The Atom Bomb and Banana Empanadas are now permanent menu items so you can enjoy them any time. Sweet!
