Super friendly and welcoming staff, cool ambient vibe, and the food is superb. We got the chips and salsa the burrito and house tacos. All very fresh, amazing and fast to boot! read more

Met up with a sweet friend to enjoy a fabulous sweet drink from Flora Cafe this morning. They've got what looks like a great spring menu for drinks, but I ordered my most favorite, Chai. Abuelita Chai to be exact and it was so warm and cozy, served in the cutest mug. Lots of room - and an upstairs with MORE tables and chairs - for large family gatherings, taking advantage of their FABULOUS eats menu (all available online), and people watch by the large windows! Parkings a little bit of bitch, but there IS the parking garage on the block south, as well as meter parking just on the south side of the street. I say give them a try! read more

C! H! I! L! A! Q! U! I! L! E! S! Get em here! Chilaquiles is one of my favorite brunch dishes, and so I have been on a hunt for a good spot in Omaha that coats their chips just in the right amount of sauce. Flora nails the texture - it's not just a random pile of chips with sauce drizzled on top. These are properly tossed so each bite is flavorful and soft, with just a little bit of crunch remaining. If you face some slight indecision, never fear - you can opt for both red & green sauce on the plate, and they also have a combo protein option of steak + chorizo (campechana). Navigating / parking here can be a bit tough with all the streetcar construction, but don't let that stop you! It's a great brunch stop before or after exploring Old Market & the Riverfront. read more

SUCH a good spot for Mexican food! The inside is adorable and there's plenty of seating. Staff are super friendly :) The Quesa Birria Tacos were 10/10. I highly suggest trying them. Honestly a lot looked good... I will be back for breakfast soon! The breakfast menu looked amazing! read more

Finally tried out this new place for brunch! Got seated right away and service was great. Tried the banana bread latte which was quite good! It has fresh banana chunks in it and lots of cinnamon- yum! It was a tad too sweet for me but otherwise solid. Also tried the breakfast burrito and skillet which were both very flavorful. Is conveniently located downtown so would definitely come back, especially on a nice day! read more

There was a clash between food quality and experience at this weekend's lunch, as an unmotivated, unfocused pair of staff members diluted a terrific dining experience. Located at the edge of the Old Market, it's aided by an adjacent paid parking lot and has a nice interior. Specializing in Mexican food, they have a large menu, and the recommendation we received to eat there was spot on. Our server was terrific, kind, and professional. But we witnessed a pair of staff members effectively check out and spend about 20 minutes casually eating their lunch and assembling silverware while the restaurant was crowded. Their lack of contribution bogged down the experience, slowing everything to an inexcusable halt. We did not receive our chips and salsa, and it took a while to get our drink and have our order taken due to the overall energy level. Our entrees were outstanding - that was the only reason I gave this place three stars. I hope their staff takes more pride in their roles, and treats their customers with the level of service and energy deserving of people who visit. read more

We really loved coming out here for National Margarita day! We started with a half corn half flour basket of chips and salsa. I loved the flour and my wife loved the corn. The salsa was very flavorful and I wish we had more but the chips were also very filling! I had a giant taco, and I didn't expect it to be so large but it was AMAZING!!! I was able to take half home and I'm usually someone that's able to finish the whole meal. I did have to drop the stars to only four because the service was verrrrry slow for only having a handful of people here. We definitely will be coming back again, because it was delicious! read more

Flora Cafe serves delicious authentic Mexican and a cute girly ambience that is perfect for a beautiful brunch vibe! The interior is gorgeous, and every detail adds to the experience, down to the tazas de barro and lush greenery. The restaurant has lots of natural lighting from all angles, and plentiful seating. Every time I am here, there is a wait time, so I would recommend calling ahead for a reservation, especially on weekends. It can be a little uncomfortable waiting as they have no central seating for guests, and you can't necessarily walk outside in the meantime since there isn't a text "waitlist" that I know of. The wait however, is worth it. The food is delicious and servings are large! I love their coffee menu, and their Horchata latte was delicious! I got it iced, and it was the absolute best. I ordered the chilaquiles verdes and the serving was huge, enough that I was able to eat the rest for dinner. The menu is plentiful and full of variety, whether you're leaning towards more of a breakfast or a lunch vibe. I have never been disappointed with the food here, and it always is orchestrated immaculately, providing an experience for all the senses. read more

Cute newish place that we finally got around to trying. Seated quickly but had to wait about 5 minutes for a server even though it was early dinner. Food was fresh and authentic, although the vegetarian food was a bit on the bland side. Portions were generous. Unsure if I'd do again. Not bad but not fantastic. read more

Great food and drinks! We came on Sunday for national margarita day. I saw on their socials they had a special, $8.99 for a margarita flight. It was so worth making the trek downtown! I could choose from any of their margarita flavors, so I chose Jamaica (hibiscus), mango, strawberry, and their house lime all with salt rims and lime wedges. The lime was my fave! I opted to get the birria tacos and was SO glad I did! They're everything I was expecting of birria, plenty of cheese and a great consommé. We also ordered chips and salsa to start, mixed flour and corn chips. I preferred the corn, but they were kind of hard. The salsa was incredible, plenty of chunks of fresh tomatoes and peppers, it was nice and spicy! We also ordered a couple cantaritos, which I can't wait to have again. They were fresh, authentic, and I loved the gorgeous mug gave me concha vibes. The only bummer was the service was pretty slow. They were about half full, so I wasn't sure why it was so slow. It didn't mess up the experience for me, but it did for my husband. We had to wait probably 15 minutes or so for our margaritas, and she forgot to bring our water until after we got our food. It was a little irritating we waited so long, but the drinks were really good in the end. read more

Very limited menu and not accommodating for modifications with sauces for menu items. Ordered the house pomegranate margarita...hands down the worst margarita I've ever had. It was basically like drinking kool aid; they don't even use real pomegranate juice. You pay extra to get chips and salsa. I'm sure there has to be better options in Omaha. read more

Located right next to the Gene Leahy mall this is a popping spot and even have some outdoor seating options. They are still open with all of the construction and not hard to get to! (parking is going to take some patience). First time checking this spot out and the vibes are CUTEEE! I'm excited to try out breakfast here. I couldn't find a menu online but it looked like pumpkin pancakes (at a Mexican joint?! I'm in!). They serve breakfast, lunch, dinner, and have a cafe for all your coffee needs. Most of the entrees are probably 1-2 servings so come hungry or be ready for leftovers. Vegetarians, they have a few options without meat or you can ask for a lot of items without meat. I got the giant burrito minus the meat and it was HUGE! The star of the show was the chips and salsa. You can get corn, flour, or a mix of both. I'm a big fan of their flour tortillas. The salsa was flavorful and the overall it was a great value! read more

Don't let the streetcar construction out front keep you from visiting Flora Portions were generous, flavors were luscious and layered, and service was attentive at this new restaurant across the street from Leahy mall. We enjoyed the chips and queso, fundido, chimichanga and barria tacos. The bar is stocked mostly for margaritas, which is not unreasonable. There's plenty of parking as long as long as you are willing to look past the front door. read more

I just visited Florida Café for the first time and loved it! The people who know me, know that you chilaquiles are my favorite breakfast meal. I was so excited to see them in their menu so I had to order them. My expectations were high and Flora Cafe delivered! My boyfriend ordered their skillet with birria and he also really enjoyed his food. Besides the delicious food, the service was great. Our server was really nice and checked in with us often. I also liked the space and their outdoor seating. When we got there, there was a little bit of a line, but the wait was minimal. I will definitely go back and try their lunch menu! read more

I have lived in Texas and California my whole life. But my meal here was so good, it made me forget how far Omaha is from the border! The quesabirria tacos were wonderful. Birria is like a Mexican pot roast. You separate the broth after cooking the meat and serve it on the side as a consume to dip your tacos in. And to ensure that your tacos can stand to up being dipped, you pan fry them in the beef fat you skim off the broth. These were generously filled with birria and queso with onions and cilantro. And in addition to the consume, they come with a mild red salsa and a medium-spicy green salsa that I really enjoyed. My waitress was so personable and treated everyone like family. She also brought extra napkins unprompted, as well as a pitcher of ice water (it was a hot day). The place is new. Shiny and clean. With Mexican music on in the background. They also have amazing lattes and even an Abuelita chai - a cross between an Indian Chai and that iconic Mexican cocoa. It's not a big menu and I only tried the quesabirria and the chai, but I was impressed -- and very full! read more

What a great remodel to this space! My husband and I had many of our first dates at the former business, Matsu Sushi, and it was fun to see so many delightful design changes. I came in kind of last minute on a date with my kids after a show at the Rose Theatre. And man, I am so glad we took this little detour! I LOVE chillaquiles and have struggled to find a really perfect dish in Omaha, but it has been waiting for me at Flora cafe! It was seriously so good - flavorful and spicy, all the textures were right, generous portion sizes..truly I can't wait to return for it! My kids decided to try some tacos and a French toast dish that they also REALLY enjoyed. The service was attentive, the meals were so, so good and the atmosphere was so fun and uplifting. We will definitely brave the streetcar traffic again for Flora! read more

Decent location, but now it's more difficult with all the construction in front of the restaurant. Tried their corn and flour tortilla chips with queso dip, which was good but harden quick. Tried a dish that was new to me in the picture attached, it was very big and filling and tasted great thế next day too. Service was quick and nice! read more

I was really not impressed with this restaurant. I ordered the taco arriero. I had never had this before, but the description sounded good. With the cabbage and cilantro, sounded like it would have nice flavors. Unfortunately, the taco was huge; lots of meat and beans and no fresh flavors. It was served in a thick corn tortilla. This was too big and messy to pick up - and that's fine - but also I just could make much progress stabbing at it with my cardstock-thin fork. A knife would have been nice. And where is the salsa? I asked our server, she seemed quite confused by this request; eventually she came back with two tiny containers. Like a Tablespoon each. The taco came with a side of two fried tostadas. Yes, just the shell. I don't even know what to do with this. Everything bland, hard, and greasy. My husband got the chimichanga and he was happy with it. I took a bite and was not impressed at all. I know that the construction for the streetcar is hurting the businesses along the route. But, to stay in business, a place has to give customers a reason to come back. There is so much good Mexican food in town; I don't see myself returning here. read more

The food was amazing, huge shout out to the chefs and cooks. 5/5 to the food, the service on the other hand could be a bit better. Numerous servers just standing around talking and I asked for water about 3 times the 4th time I asked I finally got it but that was once we were already done eating. We were only checked up on once and also once we were done waiting to pay like I said no one came to check up on us while all the ladies were just talking amongst each other and ignoring us 10-15 mins after we were done eating then we finally got someone to come and ask if we were ready to pay. Overall amazing food 5/5 Service 3/5 Price a bit pricey but that's about the average for a cafe at least the food redeemed it. Also beautiful location inside and out. read more

This is my new favorite addition to Omaha, I have been recommending it to everyone! I don't usually like Mexican food, but the flavors from these dishes opened my eyes! I tried the breakfast burrito with the chorizo, which was a bit spicy. The flavor was absolutely amazing, they also gave me a side of salsa to put on top and it really completed the flavor. My latte was also amazing, I got it with oat milk as well. The syrup was sweet and carmely with a touch of cinnamon. I can't wait to go back! read more

Flora was such a great find! I had the Queso Birria Tacos and they were perfectly crunchy, flavorful, and just the right amount of food. We also shared chips and guacamole -- super fresh and tasty. The margaritas were strong but still delicious, and the Albuelita Chai absolutely lived up to the hype! There's plenty of indoor seating and a nice patio area that would be great on a nice day. My only small complaint was that the tables were a bit tight, but it didn't take away from how much we enjoyed the meal. Overall, loved this place and will definitely be back! read more

This was my first dinner while in Omaha for work. I wasn't sure they were open because the entire road in front of them is under construction, but they were actually open. No one was in the restaurant when I walked in, but before I left, they were four other tables occupied. I think they were training a new server because I wasn't ready to order the first time they came to the table and then it took a while for someone to come back and take my order. I ended up trying the adobada quesadilla. It comes with rice and beans or you can have french fries. I got rice and beans, but they were both ice cold. The quesadilla itself was hot and it was tasty. read more

This was my first time at Flora Cafe and it was SO CUTE! The only parking we could get was paid parking due to construction on the streets. 10/10 for the decor and quick service from staff. The horchata was thick and creamy and the matcha was very smooth. The chips with a choice of 3 dips were great, but I should have gone with pico instead of the watery salsa 8/10. The real star of the show was my Cazuelita Mexicana dish 100/10. I don't normally love breakfast food, but the tortillas, potatoes, meat, and eggs were so perfectly seasoned... this chef knows how to cook! I will definitely be back to my new favorite breakfast spot to work my way through the menu! read more

Great new addition to downtown, which has little to no breakfast options! They are actually open though for Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner, we went for lunch! There was 1 server for the entire restaurant the day we went, I felt so bad she was hustling non stop, and it was pretty full when we walked in, the entire 1.5 hours we were there, and when we left! Which is definitely deserved because the food was so so good! I don't typically order Birra Tacos, but for some reason it was calling my name and they were amazing, the shells, the meat, the consommé, put together perfectly! My cousin loved her burrito that was the size of a small baby, she had to take half of it home! It was a short walk from my walk and I will definitely be bringing more lunch dates here in the future! read more

Had dinner with a group of friends there on a Thursday night around 6 pm. At first I was feeling really good about the place as the waitress was very friendly and welcoming. Then she kind of forgot about us. She took our order for drinks and apps and food all at once. Half the food came out, then the other half a few minutes later, then the drinks, and finally the appetizer of chips and salsa came out after asking for them three times. The main entrees were huge and delicious, the drinks were really good but the chips and salsa was bad. Chips were basically burnt and truly the worst chips I've ever had at a Mexican restaurant. Waitress was very pleasant and maybe the food/drink timing issues weren't her fault but I was very disappointed in how it all turned out. The cafe is cute enough and has a great location but they have to get the service/timing issues down or no one will come back. I might try it one more time but maybe not... read more

A wonderful place in the center of downtown Omaha! Holy cannoli, the service & food were top notch. The server was great and knowledgeable about what the best plates would be. We ordered two drinks, a latte and milkshake, and then two entrees. The tacos are to die for!!! An authentic experience but would make you want to come back every night!
