FIVE STARS!!! Delicious and authentic MEXICAN cuisine. I truly felt like I was south of the border wall. I do recommend taking a TUMS before eating here (big bowel movement). Karaoke duet with my hubby made my night! read more

I would give this place no stars but you at least have to leave one....I guess Covid-19 really got some restaurants overcharging to get some type of money back...a table of four just paid $96.00 for a 12 pack of modelo...never again will we be at this place...4 thumbs down here..... read more

This place is amaaaaaaaazing... breakfast, lunch, or dinner, they got you covered with delicious Mexican cuisine. My favorite comfort food from there would be their soups.. Albondigas is the best in Southbay. Seriously. So freaking good. Order for pickup is also pretty quick and I see they've joined doordash too, so you can get your fix in the comfort of your home! But try to eat at the restaurant, the ladies there are so sweet. Breakfast is also good, I've had American and Mexican breakfast, both have been delicious!!! read more

Food and service was good. Server always checked on us to see we had everything we needed. I'll be back.

We had this for lunch this past Monday since we had only half the crew at work the manager decided to buy us lunch so we all agreed to this place so we had the take out i had the cheese enchilada and chicken taco which was combo #1 you also got rice and beans and salad or soup and of course chips and salsa. All was good i dig their cheese enchiladas. Been here once before for lunch earlier this year since it's like a 3 mins away from work. Not a bad place can def get crowded during lunch. The food was ok the typical stuff i had the cheese enchilada and beef taco which was good i say their cheese enchiladas was one of the best i've had no complaints on that . read more

Today, I decided to try Flores Cafe. I worked at a company near by for 18 years. Its been over a year since I was in the city. Now they have new owners. I decided to try the Chile rellenos, it was amazing, really great flavor. I will go again. read more

Ehhhhh.... Food wasn't horrible. Service wasn't horrible. Place wasn't horrible. Still want to come here.? I came here on a Tuesday morning around 10. I wanted to try their rice and beans & lemonade. First the typical chips and salsa, salsa good.. Chips bad.. What is this, cardboard? Thinnest/tasteless chips I've ever had. Anyways, that wasn't my issue with this place. This is: So I knew I didn't want to wait for my bill because I wanted to leave as soon as I was done (I came here because I was 30 minutes early for work so I wanted to sit down and leave real fast). So I go up to the register to ask to pay my bill now & the lady says "hold on let me see how much the cook gives you." Then I ask immediately if rice and beans are on their a la cart menus section. She then says, " yes but if the cook gives you a lot of food I have to charge you more." WHAT?!! You have a set price and you stick to it & this isn't a meat market.. Y'all shouldn't be weighing it and changing the price without telling me. I was very confused. I immediately told her I just want a small side and to give me the correct price. So 1) they decide how much you are going to pay & 2) they are very expensive in my opinion. $8 for a small bowl of Albondigas. (It was very tiny.. Two small meatballs). I didn't end up ordering that. But for my very small side of rice and beans.. Was $10. Very tiny. I believed them to be very overpriced and definitely taking whatever they can get out of you. But hey. Maybe it was an off day, maybe their business isn't doing so well & they wanted to up the prices... but that ain't my problem. I wouldn't come back here. Not even if they paid me because the food wasn't that great. read more

Flores Cafe - Mexican Near Me - Carson, California

All in all, pretty dang solid Mexican food. Quite comparable with Los Compadres in Long Beach. Great fajitas, burritos, tacos, etc. The price is quite comparable with your standard sit-down Mexican restaurant in the Long Beach area. No issues associated with cleanliness. Very fast service and friendly waitresses. Beer is cold, chips are good, salsa is good. Bonus: Mariachis play for about 2 hours on Thursday nights and Sunday afternoons. They are great. Nothing better than sipping on a Corona listening to the Mariachis. Not many places left in the Long Beach/Carson area where you can hear Mariachis. Once again: Viva Mexico!! read more

My sweetheart and I were looking for a better option in breakfast then the basic pancake restaurant food chains out there. Girlfriend pointed out this place and it was empty, place needed a nice clean up from the previous nights karaoke session. Floor wasn't all that clean. Anyhow, our server was attentive and was fast, she was the only person for all the restaurant. Crazy, but she made it work. Had the chili verde with huevos (eggs) which also came with your choice of tortilla with rice and beans. Beans were decent, the rice was a bit dry but did the trick. The chili verde was good but not great and not at all spicy. Hope to come back and try out their menudo soon. read more

Yowza - you can get a gigantic "wet" carne asada burrito lunch here for $9.99 (includes a small salad). Wet here means cheese and mole sauce over the burrito. Service is quick and friendly here, and that there is one big, good lunch. read more

Good food and service!Tried a few local Mexican restaurants and this one is great.

I came here because I wanted a take out lunch as I was working in the area. I had eaten here once previously years back, and seeing it was the same place, I was prepared to be underwhelmed, but I figured I would trust the Yelp reviews. Actually, it was pretty good. I had a burrito, and the portions was large and the beef was very well flavored. I don't know what they use for marinade, but it packed a lot of flavor. It was not the tenderest of beef, and it was a little overcooked for my taste, but I liked it. It came with a little salad, which was OK, and some chips, which were nice a fresh. After this trip, I would actually be OK, heading back there to eat, something I would not have done previously. read more

Nice place. Over more towards the more industrial section of the city. Kind of a detour. The food is comforting in that it's familiar to what I used to eat on special occasions. Never was one for the karaoke or live music, too noisy. But I can chill during the down hours. read more

My new favorite Mexican Restaraunt. I know it was going to be good becauae the chips were hot delicious so we're the beans rice. I been to places where the chips were cold or bad. I ordered #7 Chicken Taco and Tamale. This place is now my favorite Mexican Restaraunt. read more

Flores Cafe - Mexican Near Me - Carson, California

Flores Cafe really surprised me by how good the food is and how nice the servers are. My wife works nearby and we met for lunch. The place is clean, they have a large menu, and they serve you very large platters. My wife ordered a shrimp quesadilla and I ordered a chile relleno. My plate came with 2 rellenos. They were delicious with a generous serving of rice and beans. My wife's quesadilla was huge with lots of fresh shrimp. I know that their main business is the lunch crowd but I would also recommend this place for dinner if you are nearby. The restaurant has a charm of its own and I liked their Spanish decor. I cannot emphasize enough how friendly and attentive the service was. Check it out. It's good. read more

Flores Cafe - Huge Shrimp Quesadillo - Mexican Near Me - Carson, California

This place has never failed me. Food is always great! They do have karaoke nights (fri-sat), that's the funniest time to be here! Highly recommend the pozole for cold days, the steak fajitas for normal days, and also the pork and nopales dinner! read more

Omg I used to love coming to this place years and years ago when they had different management! The food was the best and the service was awesome! Back then I would have rate this post with 5 stars. So I went back because I'm a big fan of karaoke nights. They kept getting my order mixed up, I asked for Caldo de Res and got albóndigas, my coffee was cold and burned, chips where not crunchy and my son who asked for a green chili pork burrito got a red chili burrito. To top it off they didn't admit to be wrong. read more

I LOVE this place. They always say you can tell how good the food is going to be by their salsa. Well, this place has probably one of the best salsas I've had. I'm getting hungry just thinking about it! This place is very casual, and located within a shopping center. I've never been around during karaoke, however, the food is authentic, and their prices are low. Entrees come with soup or salad. I always opt for the soup, particularly, the albondigas, which is delicious! Then, I always order my favorite, the chicken and beef hard shell tacos, which come with rice and beans. The food is so good here! read more

Muy buen servicio y atención por parte de la mesera, además que la comida muy sabrosa y las mejores enchienchiladas verdes que he comido. Altamente recomendable! read more

I've been coming here for years. I go to Mexican restaurants for how good the chips and salsa are. Well while I was looking at menu I asked for chips and salsa. This woman told me I have to order my food first. Just bring my chips please.She brings my chips , which most broken small pieces ( that's what I get for asking for my chips and salsa early).When you ordered a meal you would get side salad with meal. Well not anymore she says. May I have somemore salsa, we charge for that now. OK the food is really not that good for me to keep coming. I just read that they charge for chips and salsa now. Well I'll doggone ! read more

Tried calling a phone order in for breakfast when the place opened. No answer for the first 45 mins of trying to place this large order. Then when final got a hold of someone the lady (come to find out it was the owner) was very impatient. I was ordering for 7 people, by the time i was too the 5th order she stated are you almost done yet? Very rude. When picking up the order she treated me as if I was bothering her with my presence. This is a horrible way to treat your customers. two of my breakfast burritos had holes in the tortilla so you couldn't even pick it up. What a shame that the owner has let this place go down hill. I will make sure to never recommend or eat at the place again just because of the owners rudeness. read more

Honestly just give this place a try yourself , I know there's some bad ones but in my case I realllly have to say I loved this place everything had flavor it was a hot meal i have nothing bad at all to say so I'm definitely coming back read more

Everything was great! Starting from the chicken soup all the way to the entree. I had the #12 chicken enchilada with green sauce with side of beans. Great refried beans. Husband had chili relleno and chicken enchilada combo. Chili relleno was not over cooked. So many restaurants over cook them. Enchilada sauce was tasty and not bitter. read more

After reading all the negative reviews I was reluctant to try this restaurant. I am so sorry I didn't come here sooner. The waitresses were gracious and attentive. Very nice atmosphere. Home style cooking. This is my new favorite location. read more

I was pleasantly surprised by how good this place was. I ordered on Door Dash, and found the food I ordered to be great. It was the best pazole I ever had, and that alone made me want to come back. The tacos, rice, and beans and everything else were great also. I'm prejudiced somewhat though, the food I sampled bares an uncanny resemblance to the way my Mom cooked Mexican food. read more

Don't let its looks fool you, this restaurant is one of a kind. The food is always amazing no matter what you order and the Karaoke is serious, deadly serious. And if you end up in this place on a friday or saturday night for Karaoke, hold on to your cowboy hats and boots and bust out the hot mamacitas because everyone is having a blast at the corner bar or singing on the stage. The chille rellenos are to die for as well as the quesadilla. Me gusta me gusta. Any restaurant that has 2 waitresses, 1 bartender and can run a place as if they were a staff of 10 has a special spot in my heart. They bar looks small as does the restaurant but it sure does pack a big punch, guaranteed. read more

In a not so attractive area, but Flores has the best Mexican food in town! During lunch it gets really crowded with all the good reasons. Quick, friendly service, tasty food, big portions, great prices. For lunch I always spend around $10 incl tax and tip and I have leftover for dinner. read more

This has been a favorite place for lunch for many, many years! They have super fast service and the food is always fresh, tasty and reasonable. If you're a low-carber - the tostadas are piled high with lettuce, cheese, guacamole and sour cream with your choice of meat. HEAVEN! Add beans to the base if you don't mind a few extra carbs - they are worth it. Have never been disappointed with the food or friendly service by everyone there. read more

Best Mexican food in the area, hands down! I take customers here from all over the country and they have always been satisfied. Chips and homemade salsa at every sit down, very helpful wait staff (speak Spanish and English very well), QUICK service, always hot, and a huge menu. Want breakfast food? No problem... Little drink with your lunch or dinner? Right on it... I tend to go with: Canasta burrito, no beans, sour cream on the inside and guacamole on the side... We come here usually once a week, and if my stomach could handle Mexican food better (I grew up in the north east), I would come here much, much more! read more

Flores is a great little hole in the wall sit-down Mexican place. The chips and salsa are fresh. Every time I've gone the chips are light, hot, and perfectly salted. The salsa is a little heavy on the onions, but I like it that way. If you're not an onion person, then it may turn you off. The menu has all your usual staples. I personally like to judge all my restaurant Mexican food places by the hard shell beef taco and cheese enchilada combo plate because those are my favorite items on any menu and it's basic enough that I can easily compare it to every other place. First off, they don't have a special lunch menu. This means the prices are a little high for lunch and include a dinner size portion of food (comes with a soup or salad). But the price isn't outrageous at $10-$15 per person. It's just disappointing if you're expecting an $8 lunch special. The chicken soup starter has very large chunks of veggies and chicken. It's a very basic Mexican chicken soup. It's not my favorite and I would prefer to skip it. But it IS how my mom used to make it, so it's not terrible. But it's one of those dishes my mom would make when we didn't have much in our fridge, so it's nothing special. The salad is your basic iceberg lettuce, carrots, cucumber, and a house dressing - the same kind you'd expect at any american diner. The taco was by far my favorite on the plate. The meat is seasoned beautifully. The meat is juicy and full of flavor. The taco was also stuffed with all the usual fix-ins like cheese, lettuce, and tomato, and the shell was crisp and easy to bite into. It did have a lot of grease, but that didn't turn me off. That meat was on point! The enchilada was average to many other legit places, which in my opinion is a win. For me, cheese enchiladas are either average or below average. That being, did I get what I expected and it hit the spot OR was I disappointed? It's hard to get an above average cheese enchilada in my book; but it's pretty easy to fall below the line. The red sauce had spice and flavor, but wasn't spicy. They filled it with the perfect amount of cheese and when served, it was gooey and hot. The rice was also seasoned nicely and had a nice orangey-red color to it. The beans had a generous portion of cheese melted on top. The beans tasted very much like my family recipe so it didn't disappoint. There aren't very many sit-down Mexican restaurants in this area of Long Beach. This one is a good one to stop by if you're looking for something without frills and traditionally Mexican. read more

Its just regular Mexican food, nothing really stands out about the place except it's close to home and prices are reasonable. The meatball and chicken tortilla soups are always a hit or miss, sometimes their well seasoned and other times just watered down and flavorless. Rice, beans, chips, and salsa all pretty mediocre. The one thing I order here that is always consistent is the wet veggie burrito. It's huge, filled with plenty veggies especially avocado, and lots of cheese, it's pretty good. It's also big enough for two people I always have half of it leftover. read more

A real diamond in the rough. Flores is a regular part of our lunch rotation at work. Very tasty food. Quick and efficient service, the ladies are on top of their game. Pricing is fair, good portions. My favorites are the taquito combos and various burritos (carne asada, machaca, chorizo, etc). Food comes out very quickly. Not too many negatives: It does get crowded at lunch so if you get there after the rush, you may be waiting. Can get noisy and if you go when the mariachis are getting down, bring some ear plugs!!! read more

I LOVE,LOVE,LOVE this place! I have never had ANY problems with the food or service here. I Love my own meat that I make for tacos/burritos that I learned from my Mother when I was young... and I never ate anything similar until until I came here...Really Good! A LOT of value for the price! read more

The wife and I were looking for a new place and decided to give this place a try. The place was empty when we got there and still empty when we left but it looks like it fills up occasionally because it's got a lot of tables, a karaoke station 4-5 TVs and a minibar. I asked the waitress what time they close on weekends and she said 2 am. OK. Looking at the menu, the food seems pricey. $15.99 for a tampiquena?? The wife ordered a chile verde burrito with a soft taco de asada combination plate and I had a chile relleno and taco dorado combination plate. The food was very good! It was served quickly and everything tasted fresh. The servings were big so it almost made the prices seem OK. We are going back on a Saturday evening for dinner soon and see how the ambiance changes and listen to some music read more

This place has been around for some years. I used to come here regularly for the soft shell carne asada tacos. The meat was always seasoned and cooked just right, with little to no fat. Now I get the veggie or bean & cheese burrito (dry or wet). I love their chips and salsa. I can eat those all day. They offer really good prices on large catered pans of rice and beans. I ordered both for a baby shower last year. They will have your order done at the time you request and help you carry the hot trays to your car and place towels underneath. Can't beat the service when they try hard! read more

Really good food! I had the Chicken Flautas plate on my lunch break and it was very filling. Salsa and chips were fresh. Prices are the only thing of concern for me as I won't be coming here every week for lunch. Most plates are around 10 - 13 dollar read more

Located in a nondescript strip mall on the corner of Carson and Wilmington. I decided to check this out on a random Friday because it's close to home. It was empty during lunch time. Undaunted, I ordered the fish taco platter to-go and took a seat. The server was very friendly; service was not fast but I've experienced worse. The inside looked nice and spacious, bigger than what I always imagined based on the outside. When I got home I was instantly disappointed in the size of the fish portions--they were on the smallish side. Everything tasted good but I definitely paid more than what it was worth. At least I supported a local business, right? Maybe I'll come back to dine in during karaoke but I don't know when I'll be back. read more

We walked in and first of all this place is small. The DJ booth is right in front and it was super loud to the point we couldnt hear each other talk and in spanish only. We seriously couldnt take how loud it was we had to leave without eating. The prices are also a little expensive for that type of restaurant. read more

Great food and awesome service! Burritos, taco salads are my top picks!! Don't forget they serve breakfast read more
