Located in the heart of Dalton, GA, Tijuana's Mexican Restaurant offers a vibrant and authentic Mexican dining experience that transports you straight to the coastal flavors of San Diego. Celebrated for its rich and diverse menu, Tijuana’s crafts every dish with a depth of flavor that stands out in a region often lacking true Mexican authenticity.
Step inside and you’re welcomed by a warm and inviting atmosphere characterized by clean, comfortable surroundings and attentive, friendly staff. The kindhearted nature of the team, led by the ever-praised Fernando, makes you feel like more than just a customer — you’re treated like family.
The menu itself is a treasure trove for lovers of Mexican cuisine. Whether you're digging into the crisp and zesty Chips & Hand-Made Salsa or indulging in the hearty Fiesta Platter, each bite bursts with fresh, robust flavors. For those who crave bold seafood notes, the Chimichanga De Camaron and Camarones Al Mojo De Ajo showcase shrimp drenched in savory, buttery garlic sauces that excite the palate. Meat lovers will relish the Tijuana Tacos, filled with perfectly seasoned steak or succulent carnitas, while the Bangin Chicken Tostadas provide a crisp, satisfying crunch with just the right kick of spices.
Vegetarian diners are equally well-catered for with a thoughtful selection of flavorful options such as the classic Two Cheese Enchiladas served alongside savory rice and beans or the vibrant Veg Fajitas, bursting with grilled peppers and onions. Every dish is crafted with fresh ingredients, which customers repeatedly mention as a standout quality.
The culinary journey at Tijuana's is complemented by a drink menu that features traditional favorites like the refreshing Frozen Margarita and the robust Negra Modelo Especial, perfectly paired to cool down the spicy heat of favorites such as the Dialbo Shrimp or the Fajitas Rancheras.
One of the shining stars on the menu is the Chimichanga, a golden, deep-fried flour tortilla packed with shredded chicken or beef, generously topped with sour cream, cheese dip, or chili con carne sauce. Served alongside a fresh salad, guacamole, and rice and beans, it’s comfort food elevated with vibrant Mexican flair. The Chile Relleno is another must-try, featuring a deep-fried, cheese-stuffed chile coated in a luscious ranchera sauce that leaves a lasting impression on the taste buds.
Customers often share their enthusiasm about Tijuana’s welcoming service and authentic cuisine. As Holley Jordan notes, the restaurant is "so clean, and the people here are so kind and pleasant," while Colton Lovelace praises it as "some of the best Mexican food I’ve had in Georgia," emphasizing the flavorful and genuine nature of the dishes. San Diego native Jeremy Ellis fondly recalls how Tijuana’s stayed true to the style of Mexican food he grew up with, a rarity in the South.

It’s not just a meal — it’s a celebration of Mexican culinary tradition brought to life with every flavorful bite.
I love coming here to eat! It has to be one of my favorite restaurants. It's so clean, and the people here are so kind and pleasant. The food is amazing and tastes incredible! Fernando is amazing; he's so helpful and kind to all his customers. He deserves this 5 stars!
Went on a Sunday around 2 and the place was packed but there were a few tables available. Seated immediately and our drinks were brought to us promptly. Food was amazing and very flavorful. Not your average Americanized Mexican cuisine. Some of the best Mexican food I’ve had in Georgia.
Eat here 10 years ago. San Diego native and recall this place being authentic to san diego style mexican food. Was just talking about this place today. Hard to find authentic mexican food in the south.
Food is so delicious. We ordered veg fajita & cheese quesadilla. I really like the hot sauce. Very good friendly staff
THE FAJITA CHIKEN DOES NOT ACTUALLY HAVE FAJITA VEGGIES!! I was a little confused reading the menu when I saw “fajita chicken.” I’m sure they would have given us some if we asked. The beef and cheese nacho was great. The rice and beans are amazing. The toppings are extremely fresh and staff was extremely friendly.
Friendly atmosphere, super affordable especially lunch special. Delicious food.
Love Tijuana’s and the sweet family that works together to make sure the food is amazing. The grilled chicken is always delicious!
