The Northside restaurant is the first in Jacksonville - and second for the 52-unit, Jackson, Miss.-based chain - to open under the rebranded Newk's Eatery name. In April 2012, franchise owners Terry and Linda Russell, son Scott Russell and his wife, Anne Marie, opened their first Newk's at 9047 Southside Blvd. The fast casual restaurant known for its made-to-order fresh-tossed salads, oven-baked sandwiches, California-style pizzas and homemade cakes will open Monday at 14964 Max Leggett Parkway, in the new Parkway Shops. Tijuana Flats operates more than 90 locations in five states, including more than 80 in Florida alone.Ī little more than a year after opening its first Jacksonville-area location, Newk's Eatery plans to open a second restaurant Monday on the city's Northside. Among those are Newk's Eatery, BJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse, Carrabba's Italian Grill and Outback Steakhouse. The restaurant is also the first of several new dining options under construction at River City Marketplace and neighboring Parkway Shops on Jacksonville's Northside.

Tijuana Flats' made-to-order menu includes burritos (starting at $4.79), chimichangas (starting at $4.79), fish tacos ($7.69 for two), tacos (starting at $4.99 for two), nachos ($7.69/$8.69), quesadillas (starting at $4.99), tostadas (starting at $6.39), enchiladas (starting at $6.39), salads ($5.99-$7.79) and more. Tijuana Flats opened restaurants in Riverside (2025 Riverside Ave.) in September and at Fleming Island (1647 County Road 220) in November. It's also the third area location to open in less than nine months. Located at 651 Nautica Drive between Hardee's and Arby's, the restaurant is the eighth in Jacksonville for the Central Florida-based chain known for its Tex-Mex menu and hot sauce bar. Tijuana Flats' newest Jacksonville restaurant is now open at River City Marketplace.
