Here's a polished version of your review: I didn't expect this place to be anything special at first--just another little hole-in-the-wall brunch spot. But I was genuinely surprised by how great the entire experience turned out to be. From the moment we walked in, the service was exceptional. The servers were kind, attentive, and made us feel welcome throughout the meal. The owner even came by our table to talk with us about the restaurant, their values, and the care they put into making everything from scratch. That personal touch, along with a complimentary dessert, really made the experience memorable. The food was outstanding. The chicharrones were perfectly crunchy and seasoned with just the right amount of salt. The salsa tasted incredibly fresh and paired well with everything on the table. The carne asada was cooked beautifully, developing a flavorful crust from the Maillard reaction, which gave it that rich, savory, slightly crisp exterior while keeping the inside tender and juicy. Overall, this was one of those restaurants that completely exceeded my expectations. Between the warm hospitality, attention to detail, and excellent food, it's a place I'll definitely be coming back to. If you're looking for authentic Mexican brunch with great people behind it, this spot is absolutely worth a visit. Also nice clean bathroom read more

BBQ jackfruit sandwich was very good. This place has vegan options plus they serve cocktails. Our waiter was Daniel and he offered suggestions and was very attentive. We will go back! read more

We had a large group of 10 for brunch, and this eatery was quick to take our reservation and had a great table reserved. The menu offers a lot of different options, from sweet or savory breakfasts, lunch plates and Vegan options. Our party took part in all from yummy vegan food, breakfast burritos, chilaquiles, and burgers. They also have a nice bar with local beers, mimosas and mixed drinks. Aside from excellent food the two waiters were so friendly and attentive. When I'm in the area, I will definitely return. read more

Yummy! Despite its name the flavors are definitely knocked out of the park! I'm Leah's so excited to eat I scarf down my food before pictures. We started going. For the mole chilaquiles and ventured around the menu. I've been stuck on the inlet with chorizo and goat cheese. I promise next time I'll snap before I stuff ! read more

Food was amazing and staff was very friendly and attentive. Great options for meat lovers as well as vegetarians.

Let me confess something up front: I intended to take photos. The colors, the plating, the rustic charm of it all--this dish deserved to be captured. But as the scent of guajillo and roasted pepper reached me, and the sizzle of perfectly-seared chorizo echoed off the plate, instinct took over. Fork in hand, I dove in. Photos forgotten. Regrets? None. Every so often, a dish comes along that redefines what a familiar flavor profile can be--not by reinventing the wheel, but by tightening every spoke. The "South of the Border I" is just such a dish. With a simple yet inspired adjustment--chorizo as the protein, and beans served on the side in place of the predictable potatoes or fruit--this brunch offering doesn't just satisfy; it asserts itself with quiet confidence and bold flavor. The plate itself is a visual overture. Roasted red peppers tumble over a bed of savory textures, tied together by a velvety guajillo sauce that's smoky, warm, and just a hint floral. Bright pico de gallo adds contrast and crunch, while the teta cheese--a delightfully salty and creamy surprise--anchors the dish in richness. A dollop of sour cream crowns the ensemble, bringing balance and a cool whisper of tang. But it's the chorizo that commands attention: spiced just right, neither overwhelming nor timid, with a rustic sear that gives it character and bite. It folds into the other elements beautifully, adding depth and a kick of heat that the rest of the plate welcomes with open arms. Now, about those beans. Served on the side, they might seem like an afterthought--until you take a bite. Slow-cooked and lovingly seasoned, they're earthy, velvety, and subtly spiced, offering a counterpoint to the bolder flavors on the main plate. Where potatoes might have weighed the dish down or fruit might have felt dissonant, the beans bring cohesion. They are the quiet co-star that lets the chorizo shine while enriching the overall experience. read more

5-Star Review for Flavors in the Park - Old Town Glendale Stopped into Flavors in the Park this morning and absolutely loved it! The chilaquiles were incredible -- full of flavor, fresh, and so comforting. The coffee was delicious too, the kind that makes you want a second cup. The restaurant is warm, welcoming, and inviting, and the staff couldn't have been kinder. Everyone was helpful, attentive, and genuinely friendly, which made the whole experience even better. Highly recommend this spot if you're in Old Town Glendale. I'll definitely be back! read more

I'M TOO WEARY TO RETURN DUE TO AN UNEXPECTED EXPERIENCE. Read on to find out. I decided to give this place a try as I heard raving reviews by mouth. I had not eaten in the morning because my sister date mentioned this place was amazing so I only drank water up until our early brunch. (This is important to know later).. Upon entering I noticed the inside was small. I'd describe this place as Quaint & Cozy with a Mexican upscale twist. Seating provided a great talking space for two to four guests per table depending on where you'd sit. There was also outdoor seating which offers a nice breeze without the extreme heat as umbrellas protect with shading. The waitress was a young gal who was kind, patient and thoughtful. She offered a small tasting of their Cafe which I was blown away by. Literally this was the most Beautiful coffee flavoring with the perfect hint of cinnamon and the best part - no added sugar needed when using their cream. Hands down - it was the best l've had in a LONG WHILE and it amazingly brought back beautiful memories of my childhood with my Nana. I also opted to try their Prickly Pear Lemonade which was $5.95 plus tax. That was also a symphony of flavor. Not too tart and somewhat sweet. It was topped with a lemon wedge & floral. I did decid to give it time to sit on the table top to allow the ice to melt a bit & then I stirred in the melted watered ice. It was perfect once that occurred. (I've personally cut down on artificial sugar in my diet - so having this drink could have just been my pallet being over sensitive to the sweetness). Overall - it was great! I was impressed and could not wait to try their food so I ordered the Alebrijes Chilaquiles: Fresh corn tortilla chips tossed in 1/2 red guajillo & 1/2 salsa verde. 2 eggs. Topped with cilantro & red onion. Crema and queso fresco on the side w/added Pulled Pork. This cost $17 plus tax. Upon food arrival - I noticed my food was not steaming hot (the way l prefer) but it wasn't super cold either. The chips were soft yet still crunchy all the way through my meal which offered a nice textured balance. Both red and green were delicious and the eggs were cooked exactly as ordered (over medium). The food was balanced amazingly and needed no additional seasonings. HERE'S WHERE THINGS GO SOUTH: The pork gave me issue. I'm a stickler about cleaning out or rendering the fat from pork... so as I ate - I came across pork fat in my mouth that I removed which was sticky and bouncy. Personally this was not my favorite experience. I then attempted to sift through the rest of the pork on my plate to execute a removal of the fat before eating. Once that occurred - I was able to enjoy my meal. Finally when I was finished - something felt off.. I was a bit bloated. So I decided after my meal to go for a walk. This helped a bit - but I couldn't eat for the rest of the day.. bloat insisted so instead I opted for sips of water throughout remainder of the day/evening. FOOD POISONING! I'm Certified in Sanitation, Nutrition and Have Licensing for Food and More... Approx 6 hours later - my journey of food poisoning began... I was experiencing light headedness, palpitations and my stomach began to swirl. I still felt bloated and then nauseated beyond control. My stomach began cramping immensely. I began to burp uncontrollably- then I started to dry heave, so I ran to the bathroom where I began projectile vomiting. As brunch was coming out of my mouth - I then began experiencing diarrhea. It was a literal nightmare. For the remainder of the night by body was shaking and doing everything and anything to get rid of the brunch I had hours before until it was all out. I'm writing this explanation because I wouldn't want this to happen to anyone else ever! Also, it's important to share my experience in hopes that someone in Management or Ownership would make proper arrangements to keep Food safety & Sanitation at the forefront to protect consumers from a future horrible experience. Hopefully after reading this: Your experience at Flavors in the Park would be a better one. read more

My friend and I have enjoyed lunch at Flavors in the Park a handful of times and have enjoyed every food item ordered each time. From appetizers to dessert everything was full of flavor and delicious. Both of the waiters that have served us have been friendly, attentive and helpful. The atmosphere is great as well, with enough tables to accommodate a small lunch crowd. I recommend the street corn, nachos, chicken flautas, salmon, tacos, pasta, and churros for sure. My friend said the burgers are excellent as well. I plan to try other items on future visits, and know I will not be disappointed. You won't go wrong if you choose to stop in and try it out. You're welcome! read more

Watched a video on Instagram and visit the place. First time in Glendale as well. Interesting neighborhood, went to flavors in the park for brunch. Had the chillaquiles for the first time. Loved it. I think you get choices for the sauce. Had the green and red sauce mix. It almost like loaded crunchy tacos with a lot of sauce, very flavorful. We even had the omelette with chicken. First time having omelette with chicken as well. The chicken was really tender. It had perfect amount of cheese and the spinach in it made it a perfect mix. I'd highly recommend the house potatoes instead of the fruit. It's worth trying it. To top it off had the banana bourbon flambe. Highly recommend trying it. It was not only very tasty but the whole experience was great. Service was good and fast. The server was great. The day we went in it wasn't too crowded but good crowd and casual dine in. They also have outdoor seating if the weather is good. Definitely would like to go again. read more

We were actually looking for a different restaurant with a breakfast buffet that ended up closing down so we came here. It had more of a Panera Bread cafe type-feel than a regular restaurant. The service was excellent and the waistaff friendlyand attentive. We thought the burritos could have been bigger for the price they were charging and the sausage with the breakfast was not typical breakfast sausage. They provided a free dessert for one of our group members that was celebrating a birthday and asked if we wanted happy birthday to be sung, which we did not, so we appreciated that they asked. Overall, a good experience. read more

Friendly with excellent customer service. I had the Flautas. They were amazing. Freshly cooked not sitting and precooked. They are served with a red/green salsa that is not your usual salsa you find at other restaurants. The beans have so much flavor, leaving you with wanting more. A favorite place of mine! read more

My partner and I love exploring new restaurants. We visited here on a Friday night and were surprised it wasn't more busy. Their service is amazing, super kind and attentive. Our server brought us to-go boxes without asking! Read my mind. We ordered buffalo jackfruit fries, which I was nervous about at first but, they were amazing! They are a little spicy but nothing crazy. We also got the grilled tequila tacos and pozole. Let me tell you, best pozole I've had in a while. It was a green chicken pozole. It had very authentic flavor. My partner got the tequila fish tacos and they were also filled with flavor. Overall a great experience! Definitely will come back. Great ambience read more

Popped in with my husband and baby on a weekday for lunch. Firstly, so appreciated the baby changing station in the bathroom. It makes things so much easier. We had a really lovely server who was enthusiastic and helpful with some accommodations related to baby. The food is absolutely excellent! We got some of the brunch options (yes! Weekday brunch!)- the chilaquiles and the vegan burrito bowl. Fresh, high quality food! If you're in the area, def check this out. read more

We were passing through the area and went here for lunch based on yelp reviews. WOW... we were so impressed! The posole and the panini were both fabulous and the wait staff was fabulous! Don't know if we will ever be back in the area, but if we are, we will definitely come here again!!! read more

They were clearly understaffed, and everything moved painfully slow from the start. It took a long time just to get our order taken. When the food finally came out, there was already an issue. My mom and I were both brought the same omelette even though we had ordered different ones. We pointed it out and sent mine back, but when it came out again it was still wrong. At that point I was already frustrated and just over the whole experience. The lack of communication and basic order accuracy made it feel like nobody was really in control of what was going on. I honestly don't understand why this place has such good reviews. I was very disappointed. Just putting this out there so people know what to expect. read more

We've come here a few times with different groups and always have a wonderful time. The staff is so welcoming and it actually feels like they care about their customers. The food is always a hit, greats drinks, and obsessed with their cafe de olla. Keep it up read more

Restaurant is very quaint and staff were very nice. The drinks we ordered were a perfect balance of champagne and juice. I ordered the chilaquiles with red guajillo sauce, sauce had a nice spice. They were really good. I ordered the Murphy omelette to go. They gave me the wrong order, took home the 58th Ave omelette. My husband was okay with it and ended up being really good. Glad he liked it. read more

I miss when this place was Cuff. Cuff had amazing drinks and food. Stopped by flavors in the park for drinks and an app. The guac was so bland and disappointing. The chips were over cooked or the frying oil was dirty. The mimosas were okay, super sweet and was not given the option to pick the flavors contrary to the "pick any 4 flavors" written on the menu. Tiny little jars for the mimosa flight as well. Staff was great but likely won't be coming back. read more

The place used to be fantastic when it was Cuffs -- it was one of our favorite spots. With the new owners, we noticed a drop in food quality that we couldn't quite pinpoint. Drinks are about the same, but the meals just aren't what they used to be. Sadly, we won't be returning. read more

Staff was great but food was meh. I ordered the shrimp tacos with rice and beans. They had run out of beans so I didn't get any. The rice was very greasy. The tacos were cold. I would think that if I'm not getting the full plate, I would not pay the full price, but I did pay for the entire meal. The sauce on the shrimp tacos was also surprisingly sweet which I did not enjoy. Wouldn't go back, but the set up is cute. read more
