Florida-based Tijuana Flats announced on Friday that it has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy and closed multiple locations across South Florida, according to a news release.
The fast-casual Tex-Mex restaurant chain was founded in 1995 in Winter Park.
The company stated that the decision to close these restaurants was due to a unit-by-unit analysis of financial performance, occupancy costs, and market conditions.
Eleven restaurants were closed, with nine of those being South Florida locations.
