Really cute decor! But tacos and margaritas are mediocre, at best! Whoever is in charge of the menu/recipe creation needs to take a tour through Mexico! The flavor and execution is just not there :( Really hope it improves-- read more

I think Flora has potential...but it has a long way to go. For now, the storefront is very instagrammable but the tacos are nowhere near the best in town, and the service about as slow as it comes. We ordered x6 tacos to share on a Saturday mid-afternoon, 3 chicken and 3 Baja shrimp. We waited for over 30min, watching every individual, couple, and family that ordered their tacos get their order first. When our order arrived, it was immediately taken by the staff back to the kitchen for undisclosed reasons. And then we waited another 15min. All for 6 tacos -- three of which should have been easy to make since the meat had been stewing all day. The final tacos? Shrimp was so-so, memorable enough, but the chicken flavorless. The tortilla were a combination of soft and stale...or maybe accidentally half-fried? Here's hoping things get better for Flora! read more

Review for April 2021 Not even worth the price they're asking for 3 baby tacos, I got the grilled shrimp taco and let me tell youuu, burnt shrimp taste in every other bite plus flavorless if you don't count the burnt taste part. If this place is going to charge 12 to 14 dollars for 3 tacos at least make sure ur taco game is on point. I don't recommend this place. Wack tacos. read more

Brunch was great. Drinks and food. We liked the shrimp cocktail and my husband truly enjoyed the mole. I loved the margarita with passion fruit. read more

Tacos were good but everybody was wearing masks half way off their face. and the lady making my tacos wasn't wearing a mask at all. The employees looked miserable and it shows in customer service. To sum up: Overpriced tacos for white hipsters in the capital of Great Mexican Food... read more

Three very small tacos for $15. There is a 20% tip preset to the total simply for taking the order and it requires navigating to a custom screen, also set at 20% to remove the top since there is no actual service being provided. Management should pay staff a living wage, not try to dupe patrons into tipping for service which is not provided. read more

This was the best looking worst tasting Bloody Mary I have ever had. The mix did not taste good! It wasn't fresh and just yuck. I don't mind paying $13 for a good drink but when it's no good? So disappointing. 2 stars for the friendly bartender (although she moved slower than frozen molasses) as well as the effort into making the garnish look beautiful. My mother had a Chile Lime Margarita that she was also disappointed in. We won't be back read more

Flora - Mexican Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

We visited Flora Mexican Restaurant at the Seamill Market and it was my favorite restaurant there! They seated us immediately, drinks were super yummy, and food was great! I had the cucumber loco which was refreshing and had a great kick to it. I also had the rotisserie nachos which were definitely big enough to share and delicious! My partner had the postole which seemed more like a green Chile verde soup but was still really tasty. We are definitely looking forward to going back and trying out a few other things in the menu. And just to add, they also had a great patio seating area that I imagine will be nice when the warmer months arrive. read more

The food tasted great! The only thing that would keep me from coming back would be the bartender making drinks, she was very rude and the cashier was not friendly at all. After a year of covid, you'd think there'd be better service read more

I really hated how good the foods and drinks were. The location inside sawmill market is also beautiful, but the employee's attitude are a real problem. read more

Flora - Flora - Mexican Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

We checked out Flora at Sawmill today. They opened at 5pm (Sat). Were able to walk in without a wait. The ambience is gorgeous. Lots of natural light & bright colors. The staff was attentive & friendly. We enjoyed our food & drinks. It's definitely a modern take on Mexican food but I appreciated the twist. We spent around $50 for two people total. Overall, I would definitely go back again. read more

Tried Flora recently. Thought the food was pretty good but not killer. My wife and I lived in central Mexico for 5 years fairly recently so we've been around Mexican food extensively. My main complaints about the tacos we had were that they tried to put too much fillings in the smallish tortillas. The fish tacos my wife had had way too much slaw on them. The filling of my cochinita pibil tacos were for some reason too sweet and too picante and again the filling was too much for the size of the tortillas. I suppose this could have been overcome by eating the overflow filling with a fork but utensils weren't provided. Cochinita pibil isn't supposed to be sweet or picante; it's supposed to taste like achiote seeds which are tart or bitter depending on your viewpoint. There's nothing in well-made cochinita pibil to make it sweet or picante. If you want it picante, that's the purpose of adding salsa habanero to taste. And sweet? No way. The typical condiment for cochinita pibil in Mexico is pickled red onions which make it even more tart, not sweet. There's nothing in any cochinita pibil recipe I've ever seen or made that would make it sweet or picante. The pork at Flora also came in a kind of sauce. Again, cochinita pibil in Mexico is normally not saucy. Moist - yes. Saucy - no. Now I suppose Flora might say, "This our take on cochinita pibil, not necessarily what you'd find in Mexico." I suppose that's OK but if you stray from "real" Mexican pork too far where do you draw the line? When does it go from being Mexican food to being "New Mexican" food or say something that no one in Mexico would recognize as say cochinita pibil? I searched for but am not sure I ever found the taste of the achiote seeds. The red color was definitely there but the achiote seed taste that should have dominated the tacos was pretty elusive. I once attended a Yucatecan cooking class in Mexico City given at the original Pujol location by a chef from one of the premier hotels in the Yucatan. His advice was basically "When making cochinita pibil, if you think you're using enough achiote paste, go ahead and double it to ensure that the achiote flavor dominates the finished product." read more

I honestly love tacos...but these were yuk. No other words could describe how awful these were. At the price, I expected way better. Disappointed for sure. read more

I don't think I've ever not left a tip at a restaurant, no matter how bad it is. I've been in this industry 30 years, and I'm an overtipper in these hard times for our industry. We sat down and there were 3 tables. we saw our server twice. The host brought us water, and the Server took our order. She forgot everything we asked for and spend all of her time in public stocking glasses and talking to the bartender . We ordered dip and ate it with our fingers because we got tired of asking for more chips. Or forks. Or plates. this was last night and if I hadn't asked, for the manager, we'd still be there, the table next to us were waiting over an hour. 3 tables in the whole place. the manager took off my taco that clearly fat under heat lamps for a very long time. One overcook piece of gray fish on a stale tortilla. Gross. This restaurant is not going to make it. And I wish I felt sorry for the server but she's not going to make it either. She literally giggled as she said she was sorry for such bad service. read more

super small tacos for expensive price and machine automatically adds a 20% tip. don't go here

My first, but definitely not last, foray into the Sawmill brought my husband and I a little sadness. We were too late to get a lo ster poboy. So we set out to explore the other offerings. With so many options, we found Flora, a Mexican restaurant &Tacos. We were soooo not disappointed! You cab order tacos in 3 packs. We opted for the 6 pack for $20. We both got the Carne (steak) and shrimp tacos. I chose a carnitas (pork) and the hubby chose the chicken. Another first for me...I ordered a margarita. A Sandia margaritas....it was AHHHHMAZING! ( sorry no photo because it was so delicious and I forgot to take a picture before drinking). On to the tacos!!! All were very well made and fresh and delicious! I rated them from favorite to least favorite ( but all were great). 1. The Carne...beautiful steak that was tender and flavorful. 2. Shrimp...juicy pieces of shrimp were just yum. 3. Carnitas...I love pork tacos...it's a fault of mine, but this was soft and nicely seasoned. 4. Chicken...perso ally not a huge fan of mole, but these were delightful. Additionally...if you don't want a soda or margaritas, you can opt for the water...ITS CUCUMBER WATER AND SO FRESH!! Can't wait to come back! read more

Very disappointed in the tacos. I got shrimp and there were barely any and so much stuff on them it drowned out the shrimp. I stood around waiting for my food and the counter person was absolutely oblivious. My food was cold and my watermelon drink was awful. Spent $18 for 3 teeny tacos and a lousy drink. read more

The sign by the walkup window says tacos are 3/$9 so we ordered 3 shrimp tacos. Oh no, they said, the shrimp tacos are $12. Small, expensive, and underwhelming. Never again. read more
