It's Tijuana Flats on Eglin Parkway in Fort Walton Beach -- and here, it's all about the sauces. Something for the sweet tooth, and something to light your world on fire. Off-beat culture, art murals, fresh food, all-around fun. A great place to take the family after practice or the game. What keeps them on this list is what happens off the menu.
