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.

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.

Good food and nice server but incredibly slow food service. For just two of us, we were there for 2.5hrs. Waaaay too long. And they seated us in the back area which had large parties and families and it was really loud. I totally understand that people are having a good time and are loud but we couldn’t even hear our own conversation. We’ve been here a few times and this was not the best experience.
