    Flores is one of my favorite spots, and every visit feels like a treat, but my last experience there managed to outshine even their usual high standards. The food and service are always exceptional, but their problem-solving and customer care truly stood out this time. It was a busy Friday night, and our initial table was under a strong air conditioner. When we mentioned it, we were told the restaurant was fully booked, and I assumed we'd just have to make do. However, the lady manager worked her magic and found us a more comfortable table despite the full house. Her efficiency and willingness to ensure we had a great experience truly impressed me. I didn’t manage to catch her name, but her professionalism deserves a shout-out! The rest of the evening was just as stellar—delicious food, attentive service, and a warm ambiance. Flores continues to set a high bar for dining experiences, and I can't wait to return. Highly recommended!

    The food and service were great! The queso and guac were fantastic. It was pretty dark which made ordering and eating tacos a bit difficult. Some lamps could have made the experience even better!

    This is a hidden gem. I live close by and had never been here before. I celebrated my birthday with pitchers of margaritas that were perfect. The food was delicious but would benefit from more options. The mole enchiladas were delicious. The flan was also delicious. I will come again.
