    Limited menu with average tasting food. We had a large party of 13 people and Flores would not split the bill so we had difficulty in determining each person's portion of the bill. Service was slow even though there were few other patrons. Members of my party felt the food was overpriced and there was also a 4% employee benefits additional charge automatically added to the bill. We paid it but think this additional charge should be included in the menu pricing.

    We find their outside tables to be less noisy than inside and since we sat outside, that's why we give this a quiet rating. Some others have complained about the prices, but the six adobe cod tacos we shared were both delicious and fairly priced at $41. The waiter Braulio's service was flawless; both personable and professional.

    Food was really good. Some items like the flautas and ceviche were on the spicy side but kept their flavor. My mole was delicious and the drinks were amazing. Service was constant, always checking on you and your needs. The music was a bit noisy for my taste and it was hard to listen to everyone on my party ( 9 people). We had an amazing time and were able to make it work .

    Food was delicious. We had to ask for some chips at least five times. They brought the wrong salad out to me. The manager spotted us some free drinks.
