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.
