   What a wonderful find this restaurant was! Beautiful setting, warm, attentive service, and some of the freshest flavors ever. The salsas, the flavor of the food, the burst of lime in the margaritas —everything we sampled was bright, fresh and delicious. I can’t wait to go back.

   I found the cocktails weak or watered down. We ordered the mixed grilled meat plate and I wasn’t a fan of the chorizo but the steak was cooked to perfection.

   Flores has added delicious new item to their already delicious menu. The Ceviche was so good. With crunchy cucumbers and yummy avocado. Our dinner was delicious. I had my usual fish taco. My husband had the new item of brisket quesadillas with a dipping sauce he said was slightly spicy and delicious.

   Wanted to bring my daughter here since it was her first time. Was happy to be seated at a booth. We enjoyed a nice, relaxing luncheon…guacamole and salsa trio with chips and we both ordered the 3 tacos. Tay had carnitas and chicken and I had the chicken, fish and veggie. All were yummy.

   Host, wait staff and food are always great. I just cant get over spending $13 dollars on spoonful of guacamole. Fill the bowl Flores.

   the food quality was bad. the steak didn’t have flavor. the service was also horrible. both waiters that my party had were not helpful and seemed like they did not want to be working there. One of the waiters was sarcastic and rubbed my mothers breast and didn’t say sorry

   This was my second time going. Highly recommend the Mole, Enchiladas de Pollo and Lobster Sopes (small portion). Restaurant is really nice and great for date night or any type of event.

   Always a great meal! Delicious food! Can be loud at times and hard to hear. But otherwise everything is wonderful!

    It was easy to make a reservation through Open Table. Flores is a nice place. A bit noisy, but okay since it did not impact our conversation at our table. The food was okay. For the price you pay, I would have expected better. My meal was very fatty, so will not order that again. Rice as a bit mushy. Our waiter was great. Took our order and checked in often. Probably, will not go again in the foreseeable future.
