First time at this location (I've enjoyed their SF spot in the past). What brought us to the Corte Madera Flores was learning about the special vegan menu as we had two vegans in our party. It took almost 10 minutes after we arrived for someone to greet us- not sure why. However we were seated outdoors as we requested which was appreciated. The decor is bright with gorgeous colored tiles. The menu looked terrific, however we weren't provided the special vegan menu without asking for it. Wow, we were impressed with the dishes listed. We started with the chips & salsas- the chips were just as I like them; thin, crispy with salt. My sister had the vegan enchiladas and her husband the vegan pozole which he raved about. My son had the trio of carnitas tacos and was quite satisfied. I thoroughly enjoyed the veggie (not vegan as I love my queso) chile rellenos - they were divine. The sauce was perfectly flavored. We shared the churros for dessert- a bit disappointed as they were not crispy & a bit doughy on the inside. Our server was friendly and the prices were reasonable. All in all a great experience and would return. read more

Really lovely outdoor patio and friendly staff. Note that on weekend lunch, you can only order off their brunch menu or their vegan menu (which is quite delightful). The food is flavorful and we really liked the Platano Macho as well as their signatue Mexican Iced Coffee that comes with tequila. I did find the main entrees to be expensive given the food portions, but overall, satisfied with the quality. Also note that there is a 4% additional charge added on to support employee benefits. read more

We celebrated a birthday here and overall it's pretty solid for Marin mall food. The service, however, was disappointing--our server seemed constantly busy and like she could have used more support, which made the experience feel a bit off. We also had an issue with timing--our entrées didn't come out together, even though it was still early and not very busy, which was frustrating for a group meal. I ordered a hazy IPA, which came in a can with a glass of ice and a lime--an unusual presentation. Drinks were good but it was interesting that they don't have beer on tap especially since they have a large bar! Food-wise, we ordered the ceviche along with salsa and chips, and both were really tasty. The tacos are especially yummy and definitely a highlight. They have mole and solid enchiladas. While the food and drinks delivered, the service and a few inconsistencies kept it from being a great experience. read more

One mistake I always make, is forgetting about Flores. Throughout the years I randomly pop in, the service is friendly and quick, flavor is consistent and authentic, and the fun times are had. Great esthetically pleasing decor-upscale Mexican. Need to know: HH 3-close Monday AND Tuesday, then 3-6 Wed-Friday (at bar or lounge area which there is plenty of space). They have an extensive HH and range of options + other deals throughout the week, like $2 off Tacos on a Tuesday. Stop by, you won't be disappointed. read more

You simply cannot replicate these dishes. (I've tried and I'm not even close.) Everything coming out of that kitchen is on point, consistent and just hella fresh. Hats off to you guys, Bràvo! The staff is real and present and it's just a pleasure to be here. We do happy hour usually and just love the options. My favorite is definitely the Mezcal selection which rotates often and offers flights, etc. Easy... Pick Flores, it won't disappoint. read more

Perfect for a relaxed brunch with friends, sharing plates, grabbing guacamole and salsa, and celebrating book launches (Book Passage is somewhat around the corner). I usually skip ordering typical taco and opt for 3 fish seviche (so fresh!), sopas (yummy!) or huevo rancheros if I am especially hungry. This is a fun place to go with a group so you can try a little of everything. Also very dog-friendly, which adds to the vibe. Great stuff and service. read more

Delicious - love their salads and tacos especially, as well as the plaintains. The patio is such a lovely setting! I've picked up food to go also, and it's always good read more

Amazing service thanks to Álvaro! Álvaro, our bartender/server at Flores Restaurant, was absolutely outstanding for our date night He was incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and genuinely attentive throughout our visit. He took the time to explain the menu and made excellent recommendations that were spot on--we loved everything he suggested. His professionalism and warm attitude really elevated the entire experience. Service like his is hard to find, and he truly made our night special. We'll definitely be back and hope to be served by Álvaro again! read more

It's been awhile since we've gone to Flores, and we were in the area, so we decided to go back. We ended up arriving during happy hour. While it's only an available in the bar area, that includes the bar, some high-tops and low-tops as well. The latter being super comfortable seating. The food and drinks were both good, the happy hour pricing even better... Definitely going to go back again... read more

We visited around 5pm and the bar was quite lively with many patrons. We selected a booth in the back so we could chat more easily. The menu is not your typical Mexican restaurant in America menu; it has very inspired dishes. For starters, we had the huge serving of guacamole and 3 salsas. We later chose the ceviche and mole poblano. They also have a short menu with just vegan choices including churros. read more

I suggested Flores for a work lunch today. The burrito was tasty and I think everyone enjoyed their lunch but I was disappointed with presentation. The burrito's arrived double wrapped in foil as if they were to go. That seemed a little odd and not appropriate for a sit down lunch. I also looked forward to a basket of chips and their delicious red salsa, which was not offered. They did have the little wagon wheels on the table and brought extra salsa upon request. The service was a bit reserved, not as outgoing as I recall. I feel complacent now especially since I suggested we dine here. 4 stars would have been too generous of me based on today's experience I'm sorry to report. read more

I am always impressed with the vegan and vegetarian dishes here! Tonight we had the vegan 3 Tacos Plate (beyond sausage-potato, mushroom and nopales al pastor, avocado and slaw) and the Enchiladas Vegetarianas (mushrooms al pastor and nopales). In the past, we have also loved the Ceviche de Hongos (king oyster mushrooms, avocado, cherry tomato, burnt tomato agua de chile, crispy corn) and Chile Relleno (poblano pepper stuffed with queso oaxaca, mushrooms & kale, topped with spicy salsa ranchera, avocado, crema, rice). Thanks for making eating vegetables and plant-based food so flavorful and elegant, Flores team! read more

Updating my original review as we had a most redeeming and amazing dining experience at Flores! My husband and I had dinner here last night, and it was the dining experience we needed. We ordered off of their Vegano Menu, which has some seriously impressive culinary delights! Everything was superb. The service was fast and impeccable. The ambiance was great. The quality and taste of the food were beyond drool worthy. The drinks were beautiful, and just strong enough. Big thanks to the manager Jordan, for his warm and personable attention. We will definitely be dining here on many more date nights! read more

Best plantains ever! This was our fourth visit to Flores and we were sad we never ordered their plaintains until now. They were perfectly carmelized and delicious. We also ordered the parrillas mixta for 2 which was a generous portion for 2. Everything was cooked well, but the steak was a little gamey and perhaps not very fresh. We ended the meal with delicious tres leches which was also a generous portion to share. Finally, service was prompt and tables were cleared in a timely manner. read more

We came in around 6pm and sat at the bar. Our server came over right away, was friendly, informative and knowledgeable. The aesthetic inside reminds me of beachside Tulum. We ordered the chicken tacos plate with beans, salsa and spicy veggies, the flautas de chorizo, and sopes de frijoles with avocado and lettuce. We paired it with the habiscus agua fresca. Delicious all around. Great spot. read more

Excellent locally owned and operated restaurant with fantastic hospitality and delicious food. I love the ambiance as it's great for both a casual date and equally family friendly. On my most recent visit, one of the owners made the rounds to check in with patrons to say hello and ensure everyone was enjoying their experience. On this most recent trip, my party stopped in and had a delicious brunch. We sat inside however I have to note the restaurant has a lovely patio and I'm impressed with the way in which they've created a secluded little oasis. Even on a January day, the patio was packed during the lunch hour with people enjoying their meal al fresco. The restaurant offers a nice variety of cocktails specializing in some lovely tequilas. So if you prefer stopping in for a drink, they have a great bar area as well. We had 2 of the tequila cocktails and both were fantastic. I look forward to visiting again. read more

I adore this place. My absolute go to whenever I am on that side of the bridge. Consistently interesting and high quality menu for adults and children alike. Incredible dairy free and vegan options. Plus those alcohol free margaritas are to die for. read more

I was pleasantly surprised to discover Flores in Marin, having first experienced it at their Union Street location in San Francisco. The Marin space mirrors the city location in both design and atmosphere, and the food quality is just as consistent. The carnitas dish is usually my go-to, and I order it often because I love it. This time, though, I stepped outside my comfort zone and tried the chile relleno. It's prepared quite differently from what you'd find at a traditional Mexican restaurant, but I really enjoyed their lighter take on it. Compared to the city location, the Marin spot has a much calmer, less party-oriented vibe. read more

Flores in Corte Madera was a last minute choice. The food is vibrant, fresh, and full of authentic flavor, and every dish feels thoughtfully prepared. It could easily become one of my favorite spots in Marin for Mexican cuisine. The Chicken Tinga taco was amazing -- tender, smoky, and perfectly seasoned with just the right amount of spice. The flavors are bold without being overpowering, and the toppings complement the chicken beautifully. It's one of those tacos you immediately want to order again. The Pescado taco was another standout. The fish was cooked perfectly -- flaky, fresh, and lightly crisp on the outside. Combined with the bright citrus and fresh slaw, every bite felt refreshing and satisfying. It's the perfect balance of texture and flavor. The Vegetariano taco surprised me in the best way. Packed with fresh vegetables and layered with rich, earthy flavors, it's hearty enough that you don't miss the meat at all. It's one of the best vegetarian tacos I've had anywhere. The atmosphere is stylish yet comfortable, and the service is consistently warm and welcoming. Whether you're stopping in for lunch or enjoying a relaxed dinner, Flores always delivers a great experience. Note: if you are sitting outside bring layers of clothing to ensure you are comfortable If you're in Corte Madera and craving Mexican, Flores is absolutely worth a visit. read more

Time of visit: HH Monday around 7p (HH hours 3p-close). whoop. whoop. The happy hour is substantial, lots of food options and drinks to boot! I think this might be my new go-to. I can't wait until I go back to try more items on the happy hour list. I think for me and my husband it came out to about $40 which is rare nowadays to find sit-down dinner bills for $20ea. See photos of the flautas and carnitas we ordered. Also service is decent. Very friendly staff. Will be back. read more

I'd been once before - pre-pandemic, around the time they opened to rave reviews - and thought it was pretty good Mexican-like cuisine for Marin County. So this was a disappointing return, notably because Mexican food should generally be friendly to gluten-free diets and this was anything but (almost everything is in the same fryer, meaning our options were limited. Another disappointment was the parrilla mixta - it came with only four tortillas, definitely not enough for a dish meant to be shared by two people. Service was incredibly slow - we waited nearly 35 minutes for food. It's not a staff issue, but a staffing issue. I get that restaurants are hard to run, but when you're this busy, a bit more staffing might help. Would I go back? Probably not. But it's not terrible, it just isn't for me. read more

Thank you C.L. for your response. I appreciate it and my waiter Elmer was great and so was my carnitas tacos....I worked in the restaurant business for 20 years so I know this was not appropriate behavior. My friend can't hear out of one ear so we just moved to a the empty lounge area for a bit. I don't know why the bus boy/ food runner even had to comment. It was very strange that he even came over. I did not even discuss why we were moving with him. There were maybe 7 tables seated yesterday at lunch!! Okay thanks! read more

It's good I love that they have some vegan options but they're pretty bland. The portions do not match the price point.

Flores is in the Corte Madera Town Center, but the vibe takes you to Cabo San Lucas. As you enter, there's the hip and long bar. The outdoor patio is sunny and vibrant. On the day of our visit, it was a bit windy so we chose to sit indoor in their charming main dining room. Skylights brighten the room. A row of elevated potted plants serves as the room divider and makes the room feels alive. As we sat down, soft Latin vocals were playing, and a server was humming the tune. We just love the chill vibe here. We ordered the carnitas bowl, one carnitas taco, and pancake de elote in small portion for dessert. I didn't see chile rellenos on the menu, but I asked anyways. Our server said that it is usually served as a dinner dish but I could order the lunch version. For drinks we had a refreshing passion fruit aqua fresca. The carnitas bowl and carnitas tacos came to our table pretty quick. The carnitas bowl was a larger portion than we expected. There was a couple of huge chunks of fried carnitas, with rice, beans, avocado and salad. The carnitas taco was hefty as well. A short time later, our later came back and apologized and said that the chille rellenos was not available after all as it will take half hour to make. I was a bit disappointed but as we have a lot of food, it was not a big deal. As I ate I overheard the staff talking about chile rellenos near the kitchen, and not long after, the server came back and announced that the chile rellenos was available if I wanted it, but only in the vegan version. That was perfectly fine with me as I am used to vegan chile rellenos. Turned out it was worth the wait, as the chile relleno was awesome. It was stuffed with minced bits of delicious mushrooms, and the chile was soaking in a generous bed of red/orange sauce. I ate it all up, but we had to ask for a to-go box for the carnitas bowl due to the huge portion. Good thing we saved room for the pancake de elote. We ordered the small portion, but we wished we had ordered the large portion, as it was so good that we did not save any for our kids! haha We love Flores for their refined Mexican cuisine in a beautiful setting. read more

Today, we came in expecting a pleasant dinner, great drinks, and good conversation. While the food and atmosphere mostly lived up to that expectation, the service unfortunately did not. Our server, Alejandra M., did not provide attentive service. She failed to check in on us after we received our meals, didn't ask if we needed anything else or if we'd like to order another round of drinks. Meanwhile, we noticed her being very attentive to other tables around us, which left us feeling uncomfortable, forgotten, and honestly a bit upset. As a result, we decided to skip dessert. When it came time to pay, Alejandra quickly processed the bill and walked away without offering a receipt or even a closing word. This lack of courtesy played into the tip we felt was appropriate to leave. On a more positive note, the food was great. The fish dish was flavorful, and the quesadilla with salsa was delicious. Flautas de chorizo con papa lacked flavor but presentation was nice. The cocktails were a bit sweet for our taste but still enjoyable. The ambiance of the restaurant is lovely--with beautiful wall art and lighting that really sets a nice tone. However, our table was quite sticky--not from lack of cleanliness but likely due to worn wood polish. Also, the chair I sat in was very wobbly, which added to the discomfort. Overall, while the food and setting were impressive, the service experience really dampened what could have been a fantastic evening. read more

I absolutely loved this place when it first opened. The food quality is now very inconsistent, there's rarely a lot of people here, the service is slow, despite not being crowded (at lunch), and I'm just super bummed given how amazing the food was in the beginning :( read more

Happy hour here is top notch. I think my mother and I ordered almost one of everything and were soooo full about halfway through.

My husband and I have been coming to Flores around 3pm on weekdays. Although the happy hour at the bar opens at this time, we are older folks and we prefer to sit in one of the restaurant booths, order from the dinner menu and enjoy the quiet dining room at this hour, spacious and beautifully decorated with colorful murals and potted plants. We have been ordering the 6 tacos. Our favorite, the carnitas, is always juicy mid-afternoon. I also love the frijolitos ahumados which come with 3 crispy tacos. The staff is consistently kind and attentive. A very enjoyable experience! read more

We went to happy hour and had their fabulous margaritas, nachos, guacamole, and salad for such a reasonable price. Very satisfying.

On the way back from the Giants game we stopped for an early dinner.

We had amazing attentive service, even the manager Jordan stopped by to check in with us. Excellent experience! read more

If I could give zero stars I would. If you are considering having Mexican/Central American cuisine go literally anywhere else! I went this last Saturday , November 22 after looking around on yelp etc for a restaurant that looked ok. Everything was bad, totally slow disorganized service , with drinks and apps ordered and no revisit from the server for 20 minutes. It was not busy and according to the manager they are not understaffed. We ordered the chicken molè and the carnitas. After waiting another 20 minutes our food came out , the molè sauce was cold and the chicken was served " on the bone " which I have never once seen in any Mexican cooking . The carnitas should have been called " carnitas seca " because it was dry to the point where parts of it whee crispy , like they threw it in a very hot oven to hear it up quickly . We had dinner at 7 pm so it was not near closing. Then we were ignored again for about 25 minutes. Finally our server came by and co up d not tell us what we ordered even though they have electronic devices to enter that into . Single worst dining experience in Marin County. STAY AWAY!!! The molè chicken had read more

We came in around 3pm on a Sunday, so it wasn't busy at all which made the experience even more disappointing. It took a long time just to place our order, and then another long wait to get the check. No one checked on us the entire time. We had to ask multiple times (at least three) for things, and each time we were either forgotten or ignored. We also specifically asked for no cheese, and still got cheese on two separate items. We're not the type to make a big deal out of things, but this was frustrating from start to finish. On top of that, we were forced to tip, which honestly didn't make sense given the level of service. Definitely not coming back. read more

The restaurant is very nice outside and inside. Very clean and nicely decorated inside. The outdoor patio is nice as well. The staff was great, no complaints. They gave these fried tomato looking chips that had a sprinkle of Tajin. They were so good! If anyone knows where I can buy a bag, let me know! Our food came out quick as well. I ordered the Quinoa salad and it was really good. My friend ordered the breakfast burrito and the creamy corn. He said there was too much potato; otherwise, the burrito was good. The creamy corn was very tasty as well. I mixed some of it into my salad and it was good. This is a great place to come with friends, a date, or even solo. Plenty of parking since it's located near the outdoor mall. Service was great. Food was good. I would definitely come back. read more

A gem I would hate to keep hidden! I've been here a few times now, and every visit just hits the spot. The ceviche is unreal, so fresh and flavorful it honestly feels like a little fireworks show for my taste buds. Their cocktails are perfectly balanced, refreshing without being too sweet or heavy. The staff here is wonderful, friendly, attentive, and you can tell they genuinely care about creating a good experience. It's such a welcoming vibe whether you're solo at the bar or with friends. I always leave feeling lighter and happier than when I came in. read more

Flores Corte Madera - CEVICHE MIXTO CAMPECHANO - Mexican Near Me - Corte Madera, California

I have been to this restaurant twice.. The first experience I had, wasn't so bad. The service was good, the drinks were okay. As far as the portions go for appetizers and how bland a lot of them were, it was not worth the cost. And for the course meals, definitely have no taste. I was hoping for a better outcome but didn't work out. The second experience. Our company had a holiday party and we ordered food for delivery. Called the day before to make sure that would be okay and that was no problem. We gave a time and it was good to go. Next day came along, and they moved our time up which meant now we are going to serve cold food to our company party which is about 6-8 people. Not a big party. We ordered the "party pack deal" and even ordered 10 more tacos on top of that with sides of rice and beans and chips. The tortillas were dry and actually tasted like they hadn't been cooked long enough. The chicken was so dry, the carne asada was bland. The beans were a 4/10 in my opinion along with the rice. The only side dish I liked was the corn, which I rate 9/10. For the price of all of this, it was definitely not worth it. I hope for the future, there can be some kind of change in their menu or flavoring in their dishes. If not, the prices need to change. read more

Only Luis Flores can transform this beautiful space (formerly P.F. Chang's) into a paradise spot for locals and out of towners to enjoy. This restaurant is massive, the patio is huge, dog-friendly, and the vibrant colors/decor are very welcoming. IMHO, P.F. Chang's was going down hill, and Luis revived it into a vacation resort minus the beach. It's in a perfect location within a vibrant shopping center, lots of parking - way more parking than SF location. There's free tequila and mezcal tasting on Tuesdays from 4-6pm, and live music every other Thursdays. They serve brunch on the weekends. Staff are friendly and attentive; they always answer the phone. I like their fish tacos. Save room for dessert. Can't go wrong with their margaritas.
