A famous restaurant chain now closes 4 locations in Florida in an abrupt fashion, with confirmations being made on social media.
Tijuana Flats shuttered several Jacksonville, Florida, locations, with some customers being notified by a sign left on the front door, reports The-Sun.
The national fast-casual restaurant is known for its made-to-order Tex-Mex classics like burritos, tacos, nachos, and a hot sauce bar.
These closed locations were in Lakewood, Mandarin, Bartram Park, and Ortega Village, according to the site Jacksonville.com.
The chain, known for its tag line “Tex-Mex for all,” had been long established in the Jacksonville area as the now-closed restaurants had been in place for years.
Its Lakewood location announced the news with a homemade sign that was taped to the front door on Sunday, February 18.
“This location is closed,” the note said.
“Please visit our Riverside location at 2025 Riverside Ave. or our Baymeadows location at 9942 Old Baymeadows Rd.”
All four of these locations have now been removed from the restaurant’s website and are listed as “permanently closed” on Facebook.
Tijuana Flats has more than 110 restaurants across the South but most of its locations are in Florida, according to the monitor site, ScrapeHero.
The chain still has seven remaining restaurants in the Jacksonville area, according to its website.
Despite these closures, Tijuana Flats is set to open a new location in Palm Coast, around 60 miles south of Jacksonville, on February 26, according to the Observer Local News.
The chain’s vice president of marketing, Curtis Cattanach, said the company was looking to stay prominent in this part of Florida.
“Tijuana Flats has been diligent in its efforts to increase the number of locations on the east coast, and this is a strong example of that,” Cattanach said.

This massive mall retailer is now closing in California as the former retail titan continues to shrink its footprint nationwide.
A JCPenny in Ukiah, California, located in the north of the state will lose one of its only department stores, reports The-Sun.
The North Orchard Ave location is listed as available for lease, according to The Ukiah Daily Journal.
JCPenney has closed dozens of locations since going bankrupt in 2020 and continues to shutter its remaining stores nationwide.
It has planned at least six shutdowns so far this year.
Customers learned about the latest JCPenny closure thanks to signs on the store windows.
“Store closing, this location only,” a sign pictured by the local paper showed.
The U.S. Sun confirmed the location will shut on Sunday, May 26.
The store will offer liquidation sales of up to 50% off in advance of the shutdown.
Closing down will leave Ukiah residents with few department store options.
The only major department store remaining in the city is a nearby Kohl’s.
The next closest JCPenney is about an hour’s drive to the south, in Santa Rosa.
Without the Ukiah store, loyal Northern California shoppers are left with only a few remaining locations, reports The-Sun.
JCPenney recently announced several other closures.
In Waterford, Connecticut, the chain will shut down a store by May 25.
In Hermitage, Pennsylvania, near the Ohio border, another branch is set to close on May 5.
That’s the second blow for the area’s shoppers, as a nearby JCPenney in Youngstown, Ohio will close in March.
Two more locations, in New York and Indiana, are also set to shut.
It’s not all bad news for the chain, however.
A location is relocating in New Jersey, adding an “anchor” store to an area mall.
