Flores Cafe - Taquitos, beans and rice - Mexican Near Me - Carson, California

Wow!!! Amazing service, food, drinks and ambiance. I've been here a couple times already. Gio has served us and his work ethic is amazing. Our order is always on point. The drinks are flavorful, cold and a good size. I typically order their steak picado. The portions are good and the flavor is even better. Micheladas hit the spot all the time. Thank you Flores for upgrading your menu and interior. Great job!!! read more

I work right across the street from this place and had not yet tried it so I decided today's that day. I went early enough (11:15ish) prior to the lunch crowd and was the 2nd customer in the restaurant. I was immediately greeted by a server whom quickly took my order and brought chips and salsa to my table. I ended up ordering the two hard shell taco combo with rice and beans and a fountain soda. The food was ok (not the worst); however, very pricey: 16.99 for the taco plate and 4.99 for my fountain drink! With tax and before tip it came to 24 bucks! I definitely won't be eating here again. Service was great and the servers were friendly enough and very efficient but overall not worth the price. Side note: this is a great place for large parties. Parking is tight except around the side of the bldg. Decor is dark inside almost like Dia de Los Muertos type! read more

Flores Cafe - Two hard shelled taco combo - Mexican Near Me - Carson, California

Flores Cafe sits in a nondescript shopping center at the corner of Carson Street (x) S Wilmington Ave. A prominent tenant of "Car-Wil Plaza" is Starbucks. An additional landmark--"Malamalama Ole Lalolagi" Church, is across the street. Mexico is a large country. As such there are many regional cooking styles. Barriers to entry are relatively low; so, if someone feels that they have good recipes, they can open their own business. The plus side is that in Southern California, we have access to a variety of "Mexican" food. I have had many good meals in small family restaurants. But a lot of small restaurateurs don't have a lot of capital; as such, decor is an afterthought. While not polished, the owners of Flores Cafe have put a lot of effort into decoration. The interior walls are covered with portraits of entertainment personalities, with a Día de los Muertos overlay. It's probably worth at least one visit to go and see. Service at some smaller restaurants is sometimes wanting. The waiter and waitress were outfitted professionally in black jeans and black dress shirts. The table service offered was also good. On this occasion, I ordered the carne asada burrito; rice, with no beans ($12.99); covered in the red sauce ($3.99). With a Pepsi ($5.99) and tax ($2.40), my ticket was $25.37 before gratuity. The texture of the food on the plate was a bit rustic; but I think this is attributable to cooking style. Overall, the taste was good; the overall size of the burrito, and its contents, was reasonable in the current environment. I took lunch, mid-day, mid-week; so, I can't comment on their promotional events, like karaoke, read more

Food service was great! The vibe was good. And food tasted amazing ! Julie took care of us and provided great service. Will be coming back.

Very cool ambiance and the food was delicious. Julie's service was 10/10- very kind, attentive and welcoming. Definitely recommend trying the ceviche de pescado and the churros with ice cream. read more

Very disappointing experience. One male server took our order and then never checked on us again. When I approached him to ask for something, he responded rudely and said, "I'm not your server." However, he was the person who initially took our order. We also ordered a bucket through another young lady, but it never arrived. On top of that, the restaurant advertises a "happy hour," yet we did not receive any happy hour pricing, which felt misleading. I noticed several tables sitting with empty beer glasses, and no one was checking on them. That seems like a missed opportunity for both customer service and additional sales. Better attention from the staff would make a big difference. Overall, the service was poor, communication was lacking, and the experience was not worth the money. I would recommend saving your money and going elsewhere. read more

Shockingly expensive for what you get. A 2 taco plate with rice and beans is $18 before tax. I had a dinner here, two people each got a plate, along with 1 shareable item and 2 margaritas. It was $125 after a 15% tip. This is shockingly overpriced for a Mexican food place. The tacos were also kind of gross, and they were a bit stingy with the meat. Hardly and beef/chicken in the tacos, mostly lettuce. The interior design is cool. read more

Food was so good I had the oysters preparadas and my husband had the aguachile verde and a nice cold beer we had Really good service with our server Julie she was attentive and nice and really accommodating to our needs we really appreciate the service and def will come back and ask for her thank you Flores cafe and Julie for ambience and good vibes on our date night we even had time to dance to the grupo playing read more

I found their instagram page and the food looked amazing, so we decided to try them out for lunch. They're located in a small strip mall; the kind of place people might drive on by, but definitely stop in for some good food! We went New Year's Day, making sure we paid attention to their special hours. Walking in, it looks like a club, not a restaurant. I can only imagine how lit this place is at night and on weekends. The walls are painted black with neon murals painted all over. It was fairly empty and they had bachata loudly playing on one tv and a game on another. It's definitely screams a club atmosphere, but with a restaurant inside. Yeni greeted us and came over and took our order. I ordered a small carnitas taco, since carnitas are my favorite. The meat was tender and flavorful. Exactly what I expected it to be. We also ordered the combination fajitas and the 3 mole enchiladas plate. Everything was so delicious! The rice and beans really caught our attention. It's not always that I enjoy the rice and beans, but theirs was really good! Everything was seasoned well and piping hot when it came out. Their chips and salsa were also good! We bought some to take home, along with a to-go order of shrimp ceviche. We will for sure be back to try more on their menu! Very glad we tried them out! read more

Came for lunch. Been a year since I was last here and obviously it's undergone alot of changes. Has more of a black light party vibe now versus the old school styled Cafe. Lots of modern / Hispanic pop culture art on the walls everywhere. Service was great servers were attentive and quick to take order and check back in to see if you needed anything. Ordered the tamal, taco, enchilada combo plate. Food was good/ filling and covered the entire platter. Would recommend a visit. Not sure about the night scene but looks like they have music and bar for weekends. read more

Flores Cafe - Tamal,hard Shell Taco & Cheese Enchilada - Mexican Near Me - Carson, California

We were there yesterday for the Mexico game. We were told happy hour was from 6-9 and we ordered buckets of beer before 9 pm. When our bill came they charged us $50 for each bucket!!! When I was clearly told that happy hour buckets were usually $35!!!! We told the waitress and she said we HAVE TO SAY HAPPY HOUR when we order!!???? That was the stupidest reasoning I have EVER heard!! Also, the Aguachiles I ordered were warm. The shrimp are usually cold but they were warm and gross!!! And to top it off, our food took forever to come. This was my last time going there. We were so disappointed! Management, do better! read more

While running errands, I started to get hungry and had a craving for asada fries. Yum! I decided to stop by Flores Cafe, a small Mexican restaurant in Carson with plenty of free parking, a definite plus for me. As soon as I walked in, I was warmly greeted and placed a to-go order for asada fries. They didn't take long to prepare, and they came out fresh and hot. The fries were good, though I've had better. I couldn't help but wonder if they would've tasted even better if I'd eaten them right away at the restaurant. Maybe! read more

This is the place to go to if you wanna enjoy amazing food and a great vibe they have karaoke night and have live music Friday-Sunday my go to place with my family I totally recommend it read more

Evelyn was amazing & made our experience great, she had amazing customer service. We had an amazing time at this spot

First time coming here and honestly it was a good vibe. Food came out solid and the drinks were on point. They had live music going and a DJ later which made it fun, just a heads up it does get pretty loud so not really a spot if you're trying to have a quiet convo. Service was quick and the staff kept checking on us which I liked. Feels like a good place for birthdays or coming with a group. Would come back read more

Best place to listen to banda or grupo norteño on the weekends. Our server Julie was very attentive to us and provided very good customer service throughout our visit. Food, music, drinks and ambience was on point. definitely coming back and would recommend to friends and loved ones. read more

Flores Cafe - 8 camarones rancheros for $25.99 is a little ridiculous. - Mexican Near Me - Carson, California

They steal purses at this place. I was there Saturday May 9, 2026 until closing time. My purse disappeared from the table. I noticed they have cameras so I went ahead and ask if I could see the footage of that night. Supervisor said they weren't allowed to access the camera to contact the owner by email. Which I did asap!! Today is 5/18 and still no response from the owner. I've been calling back and they are getting rude the way they talk back to me. Me not knowing my friend went there on Sunday for Mother's Day 5/10 until closing time & the same situation happens to her as well her purse disappeared and still hasn't heard back from the owner, as well!! I don't recommend this place. I first I just thought it was just my luck. Once I heard it happen to my friend the next day! I said oh no! This is suspicious!!!. I'm pretty sure it can be a worker. So sad it's a place to go have dinner and some drinks to have a good and they end up stealing your belongings advice if you visit this place don't bring purses ladies!!! read more

I love the decor and the way it's neon in this restaurant walls and chairs. If you wear white you will glow. The drinks are good The service from the servers can be a bit more better. I feel that our drinks and food plates took a while to come out. Down fall is they need to put some type of hazard sign or watch your step on the floor I posted a picture.There's a small step in front of the women's restroom by some tables. My friend almost tripped because of that. Live music is the best and dj there was some karaoke. It's a family restaurant keep in mind it is very loud. Nice spot to come with friends and family read more

I ordered the #17 SHRIMP enchiladas combo plate to go. Although the flavors were good the portions were ridiculously small for the price. They used salad size shrimps and chopped it up to tiny pieces mixed it with vegetables for the enchiladas. I could not taste any shrimp only vegetables. The sides rice and beans portion did not even fill half of the container slots and the chips they gave us 6 chips SMH. I understand the food is expensive but if you are going to charge full portion prices you need to give FULL portion food and for this reason this was my first and last time patronizing this business. read more

First and last... First, time here. Brought 9 of my co-workers here because of some great reviews and Thursday night kareoke. Unfortunately they made a big deal when I asked why 1 item was not at happy hour price, which I know I order prior to HH closing but they said I didn't. All good... I didn't argue. Apparently manager said charge them full price... I paid. But their loss on a regular party of 10 coming on a weekly basis. $$$ read more

Darn, I was hungry that I ate my food first instead of taking a pic of it! lol I ordered the shrimp in red sauce. It came with a side of rice and beans. It was delicious! Spanish rice was delectable & fresh. Refried beans were perfectly soft and topped with melted Mexican cheese. The cooked shrimp was in the red sauce. The red sauce was seasoned perfectly! Not too much and not too little which flavored the cooked shrimp well. We ordered it to go so our plate came with corn tortilla and chips with salsa. This was my first time to this cafe so upon entrance your eyes are distracted by the art that covers that restaurant- and lit by black light (see pictures). The art covers every wall and ceiling. Music was nice and poppen, not too loud. I was so distracted by the art that it took me a minute to review the menu that was given to us upon entrance. We went on Monday evening and it wasn't that busy so we were greeted upon entrance, given a menu and ordered. Wait time for our order wasn't long at all and once I did place the order, the server gave us water while we waited. The only thing about this place is there isn't any windows but there is plenty of ceiling fans in the dining room. Note, the server who greeted us and took our order did speak English. He spoke both English and Spanish. I promise next time I go back I'll take a pic of the food. Lol I'm giving this place a 5 star rating because the food was amazing. I think the dining tables and chair could be a wee bit more comfortable but for this place that almost looks like a hole in the wall, it was a pleasant surprise. read more

The service was terrible. We got our order taken quickly. Then if you needed anything else forget it. Waiting so long. Hardly any customers in there. That should have alerted us. Food was ok But nothing great. Prices weren't cheap either. Considering the aggravation. read more

I came on a weekday afternoon and the place was empty. Unfortunately the quality of the food and the portions have changed in the last six months. I'm the type of person who loves to support local business and I'm also willing to pay the price but when it starts to affect the quality and you start skimping on the portions, this is where I have an issue. The last time I came, I ordered a shrimp burrito and there were only three shrimp in it and today my tacos were very small but the price has increased. You guys have to do better and I wish you the best of luck, but I doubt that I will be returning. I do have to say the beers on tap were cold but I can get that anywhere. read more

Food was good, not much more to say....I would recommend it, the environment was very inviting, the black light environment and walls were good. The wait staff were very polite. The food was exceptional, I would recommend it, had a carne asada burrito and chicken wings read more

I got together with my sisters and brother to grab a bite to eat; settling on a new food spot in Carson called Flores Cafe. Authentic Mexican food at great prices. I opted for a michelada alongside my chille Verde and I was in good heaven. The staff was friendly and explained how some of the meals were made. Murals adorn the walls while some of the most popular tunes play over the speakers. Great place to go whether on a date or in a group looking for great food. read more

This place is really cute, the inside decor is very bright and lively. They have a great Jamaica, I don't care for a sugary one. As food came out I completely forgot to take pictures...I've been craving governador tacos (shrimp and cheese) these tacos hit the spot... different than what I've had, these were made with grilled veggie, a good addition. I ordered the combo bcs a taco by itself cost $6.99 so I opted for combo with 3 governador tacos, beans and rice $20.99 ... it was delicious but the tacos are on a small tortilla, so I'm absolutely glad I got the combo. My bf had the chicken flautas (flour tortilla) first time, it wasn't what he expected, the crisp, like with a corn tortilla, he said they were too soft. My gf had a Ceviche tostada (jaiva) she said it was ok; For the price it needed to have more jaiva it had more veggies and honestly the jaiva needed to be a lil more shredded, it was chunky like the pieces were as big as the cucumber pieces. She did love a shrimp taco (battered) that was a good size with fresh veggies on top. I would definitely go back. Our server Lalo was great! read more

The art was great. Food was good. Service was a little weird waitress would not speak to everyone at the table but I think it was because she couldn't hear either. It was very hard to hear the DJ/karaoke sound was way too loud. I left half def, my ears were ringing for an hour afterwards. Could not have a conversation at all. read more

First time here, didn't disappoint. The food was great, the drinks were tasty! Live music is an added plus and the service is good, waitstaff is friendly and check in often. The DJ music is a bit too loud, so don't expect to come in expecting to have a conversation with someone, just enjoy the atmosphere and music! read more

I tried this place a few weeks ago and it was pleasant. I came for breakfast and there was no one here, it's definitely a more popular spot in the evening since there's a small stage towards the front where people can sing or play music. The employees are nice, attentive and the food was fine. It's a comfortable spot and very authentic. I'd like to try it for dinner because they did have a nice drink selection & full bar. read more
