Great Tex Mex especially for the price. I love the chips and salsa. The queso is wonderful and every comb meal I had has been extremely satisfying read more

Why oh why did I not go with my gut after seeing the amount of stars this place had? (Insert crying emoji) First off... if you have small children PLEASE BEWARE OF THE PLATES!!!! I have posted a photo of the plate the service dude set in front of me. My sons was placed the same exact way. Hanging halfway off the table, and HOT AS HELL!!!!!!!!!! I mean they boiled these plates in the depths of actual hell before they brought them out. Then when I went to push it onto the table... ouch! Super, super stupid. My taco was stale and fell apart. My chalupa was stale and soggy and also fell apart. The whole plate was bad. I did not like it at all! I felt bad for our server because when I told him about the plate he didn't make excuses at all and I feel he thought I was upset with him. Not at all. They did take care of the plate and offered free dessert, so it's not like they just said oh well. So for the service from our server and the issue being addressed, I added 2*. In all fairness, I couldn't do more. read more

Flores Mexican Restaurant - Mexican Near Me - Austin, Texas

"Our original plan was Hops and Thyme, but they closed early, and we were too hungry to look around. Luckily, Flores was right there, and it was actually a good call. The portions were generous, the food was good, and the drinks were nice (we got a Mexican martini and a margarita). The chicken was decent. We might go back." read more

We had dinner at Flores tonight with the family. The restaurant was busy, but we were able to get seated right away. The staff were super nice and did a great job! We had queso, guacamole, enchiladas, tacos, fajitas and pozole at the table! The food was excellent. My enchiladas tasted fantastic! It came with rice and beans. I'd definitely order them again! The ambiance was great! Tall ceilings, cool walls and a great family restaurant. read more

Flores Mexican Restaurant - This is 1/2 of the maxed fajita nachos - Mexican Near Me - Austin, Texas

I came here with a friend. We just came to the bar for drinks. We were offered chips and salsa immediately. Chips are fresh and salsa is really good. Bartender came over and asked us what we wanted to drink. I asked for a cocktail menu. Everything on the menu was a margarita of some sort. I can't drink tequila, I asked the bartender if there was anything else on the menu besides tequila, he said we have wine. That wasn't the direction I was going for. I wanted a cocktail, not tequila, anything vodka based or rum. Baileys on ice. He just walked away. Didnt come back to offer us food. So I ate chips and salsa, and my friend drank a frozen margarita. The football game against Ohio where Texas lost was in the tv screens. The bar is dark not very big. The service was a no for me Friday night. read more

This is a no for us! The service was great, but the food was terrible. We got their loaded guacamole, chicken fajitas for two and kids quesadilla and everything was under seasoned. The quality of the chicken was not good and for what it was it was incredibly over priced - nearly 30% more than we would pay at Maude's or Serrano for the same thing. read more

The fish tacos here were "Off The Hook"! The service was Outstanding! The staff and management are Top Notch! It isn't a "Baja Fish Taco", was actually Beyond! Just try with a big appetite! WHAT A MEAL & SERVICE! YOU'RE GOING TO LOVE IT! read more

Flores Lakeway 12/10/25 4 people dining Wednesday night approximately 6:30-7:30 pm. No problem with drinks and ordering. We ordered queso for an appetizer, then 4 dishes (4 people). 3 of the dishes arrived at a reasonable time, but the 4th was not delivered. After 5 minutes we inquired about the 4th dinner. Again, after 5 more minutes we asked again. Another 5 minutes we found a "manager", who went back to the kitchen to inquire about the food. A full 10 minutes after that, the 4th plate arrived. 2 of us had already finished our plates. Excuses were: waitress was training, didn't understand the order. Kitchen didn't receive the order. Only one of us received a drink refill (after asking), the other 3 of us never received a drink refill. "Manager" was slow to come to our table to address any issue. We waited another 15 minutes then asked for the check. This is the first time in about 6 months that we have returned to this location. Usually the food is about a 7 out of 10, tonight the food was about a 6 out of 10. And the last dish (carne guisada) was awful. My son took a few bites and said it was not edible. I tried it and agreed. They took it off the bill. Probably won't return for a while (if we run out of other local options). In general we dine out 2-3 times per week (lunch or dinner). read more

A must stop after a day out on the lake! The patio is covered and fantastic if you have little kiddos who need free roam. Our go tos are the beef chimichanga (half queso and half salsa verde) and the margarita of the day. Service is friendly, so it feels like a home-y spot. read more

We love Flores! The carnitas tacos with cilantro and onion are SO good! The chips are thin and crispy and salsa is delicious. My husband loves the burrito cali style, the prices are very reasonable, the staff are lovely too. Oh and I can't forget the margaritas their spicy one is good and they are very accommodating if you want it light. read more

Flores' food went downhill a long time ago, margaritas too! The only reason we go now, IF we go, is with family & small children and ONLY because they have an outdoor playground. For good Mexican food in the Lakeway area, Santa Catarina or Maudies are our favorites. read more

The worst overpriced mexican food i've ever eaten. chicken tasted like it was from a can. and they only had 3 choices of protein. rice tasted like the whitest guy you know made it. even the tomatillo sauce couldn't save anything. as a person who has been on a mexican food kick for the past 2 months i will rate this as the worst mexican food ive ever had. and it's overpriced. Go literally anywhere else around here for mexican food. read more

We have been going here since opening. The food tasted great and kept us coming back. However, over the years, the food has turned bland/no flavor. The price is average but still too pricey for the product you get. read more

We have been looking for good Mexican food in the area forever and Flores hits! The Pollo poblano was honestly one of the best dishes I have ever had. We will be back... Probably every week. read more

I frequent from time to time and look forward to the spicy chicken burrito in green sauce. First get a beef burrito. So error one. Returned to kitchen. Came back with the red sauce. It was one of the nastiest meals I have ever had in my life. I hope I do not get sick. read more

Parking was fine Was seated right away. Food was great Weird I received the entree before the appetizer but either way they both were good Place look clean Server was nice and checked on me Will be back when in the area read more

Flores Mexican Restaurant - Sampler Platter - Mexican Near Me - Austin, Texas

Food is excellent, service the same. Ambience is favorable and interesting when your company isn't. Been going there since dirt and have not had a bad experience other than my company.... Rate it 4 star! read more

Went here for lunch time and there was no wait. We seated immediately. You do have to wear a mask until seated. The menu can be scanned using your phone. There is a lunch menu which is great. Chips and salsa provided when you are seated. The salsa is spicy. It has a pretty heat kick to it. I asked if there is a milder version and there isn't. That's ok. Food came out pretty quickly. The sampler platter tasted ok but everything was almost cheese based except 2 items. I didn't eat the quesadillas cause it was only cheese. My taco salad was bomb though! I loved it! I upgraded for $2 extra for fajitas steak. The steak was tender and went well with my salad. I got full quick. It was a good lunch item that was appetizing but not over doing it! Over all it's a cool spot. read more

Yellow-cheese Tex-Mex joints serving mega-combos and margaritas are a dime a dozen in Texas, but this outpost in a Lakeway strip mall really surprised me. Bigger inside than you'd think -- with a large patio -- it was bustling on a Saturday night with couples and families alike. Everything I tried was excellent, with classic Tex-Mex styling: Crispy taco filled with toppings, cheese-stuffed enchiladas with a rich gravy, guacamole, "queso chip" (could have been more exciting), and your choice of beans. I love that the chips are tortillas cut in half, not quarters, letting you dial in your dipping size by breaking off a piece instead of jamming a big triangle in your mouth. A draft Pacifico I ordered had to have been in a 20 ounce flagon. Service was fast despite the busy restaurant, and everyone was friendly and professional. I left stuffed to the gills, and I'll go back in a heartbeat. As for the woman sitting across from me ogling the collection of adult photos on her phone while I was eating, well, that's a story for another time. read more

We LOVE our weekly Flores dose! We take full advantage of sitting out on the shaded patio and letting the kids play on the playground! I'm pretty picky with my Mexican food and this is about the closest to authentic that I can find in Austin. We love the Fajitas, Chimichanga, loaded queso, enchiladas and of course Margaritas! We always have great service and it's so relaxing to arrive and have fast service! read more

We ordered take out and picked up ourselves. We ordered chicken fajita quesadillas and tortilla soup. We received fajita steak quesadillas. They were greasy and cold. The chips were stale and burnt tasting. We also ordered guacamole which was tasteless. The soup was good but that was about it! read more

Hunger satisfied. After some time in the sun and on the lake with friends, I was hungry for some Mexican food. Flores has a number of locations around Austin. I ordered a frozen Margarita, and we shared chicken and beef fajitas for two. The chips were fresh and the salsa was light- good, but not very flavorful. My Margarita was perfect- not so thick I couldn't drink it through a straw, and not too watery. The fajitas were average- not bad, just not excellent. I enjoy the fajitas at another Austin restaurant more. The portions were generous. The dining area felt clean. I like the painted walls with big desert, western murals that remind me of Mexican restaurants I grew up eating in. There's a good-sized bar and large patio for outside dining. In addition, there's a kid's play area to keep kiddos occupied so adults can linger longer over their drinks and enjoy conversation. On the whole, Flores is a good meal and experience - a solid "B". If you're new to Mexican food, it's a good introduction meal. Enjoy. read more

Flores Mexican Restaurant - Grilled burrito California style. - Mexican Near Me - Austin, Texas

It's a total shame. I used to go to the old Flores location when I was a kid. The food and service used to be good. The place wasn't even busy, but it took 20 mins to get our food order. The enchiladas were bland and just terrible. The refried beans weren't even seasoned at all. Staff seem defeated and the manager is Terrible! I would rather eat at Taco Bell. read more

We went to this place to try with very low expectations reading the reviews before but it has good outdoor area to play and that was the only good thing in this visit. Coming to the food, we ordered Nachos with beans and cheese and among 8 chips, 7 of them were all burned black at all edges. My concern was that they didn't cared about serving such chips. I was a bit late I'm taking picture since kids didn't cared about it. Than the taco salad didn't had any flavor. It was grilled onions and capsicum with cheese which was cold and spreader right out of refrigerator. It tasted horrible and taco crust was very oily. The enchiladas poblanas were better than other two but still too much cheese and we had way better enchiladas at many other places. We didn't ate most of this dinner. Hope they improve. read more

I've been going to Flores Mexican Restaurant mostly because it's the closest Tex-Mex option to my neighborhood. However, the food is mediocre. They cut corners by using ingredients like canned jalapeños in their queso and many dishes are overly greasy. The margaritas are artificially flavored, overpriced drinks. The only items worth mentioning are their salsa and tortillas, which are quite good. A few months ago, the entire takeout order was wrong and when I mentioned it, they only remade one taco because it was for a child with special dietary needs. I didn't realize the rest of the order was still wrong until I got home. When I asked for a refund for the incorrect items, the manager was rude and dismissive and told me he couldn't process the refund until the end of the shift. I never received the refund. I just let it go at the time and mentally noted not to return. Yesterday, a friend was visiting from out of town and we decided to give Flores another shot because we were on a tight schedule and the location was convenient. From the beginning, the waitress had an odd vibe and made us feel uncomfortable. My friend even considered requesting a different server, but I insisted that everyone deserves a chance and hoped for a better experience. We ordered tea, a Mexican martini, queso, and water. The server brought the drinks and asked if we wanted some queso or guacamole, even though we already requested queso. The waitress kept returning and asking if we needed more time to order food, even though we were mainly there to talk and enjoy our drinks. It felt pushy and intrusive, so my friend ordered a small meal just to get her to stop asking. She then asked if my friend wanted another Mexican martini. I asked if we could take the drink to go and she replied, "Yes, we do that." However, my friend decided that he wanted to finish it there. As he was finishing his drink, I requested to-go cups for tea and water, as well as a to-go container for his uneaten food since neither of us was really hungry. While we were packing up, the same rude manager from before came over and informed us that we couldn't take alcohol to go. We both politely said, "Okay," and continued getting ready to leave. On our way out, we asked for a bag for the to-go container. At that moment, over eight employees stood around and stared at us like we had just done something wrong. We felt extremely uncomfortable and my friend even showed the employee who gave us the to-go bag that his cup only had water in it, proving that we weren't taking alcohol to go. Despite our politeness, the entire situation felt degrading and hostile. Our bill was around $62 and we had already left a 20% cash tip before the accusations and judgmental stares began. I don't know the names of the employees, though the manager, who is heavy-set with dark hair and a scruffy face, has consistently shown unprofessionalism and a lack of customer service skills. The waitress was attentive, though she seemed incompetent and made the experience awkward. Overall, between the poor service, lack of quality, and hostile atmosphere, it's hard to recommend Flores Mexican Restaurant. The convenience isn't worth the repeated negative experiences. read more

Typical Saturday night busy. Host seated us right away. Service and food were good. We had a group of five and our food was delivered as ordered. I like that the server excepts payment at the table(saves a lot of time). read more

I just ate at Flores of Lakeway for the last time after almost 30 years of patronage. This business has slowly declined in customer service, and food quality/consistency for the past 5 years or so. It's sad because the nostalgia is real. I want to like it, but I just can't anymore. My wife and I spend 20% more and drive an extra 15 minutes for our TexMex fix at Lupe Tortilla and feel like I'm getting double the value and a much better experience. read more

This place used to be a nice family restaurant. Food was tasty and hot. Mexican Martinis were by far superior to others I took a friend to Flores in Lakeway. Oh geez, what a disaster. It was 5:00 pm straight up when we walked in. Maybe a dozen other customers were seated. I went to the restroom. What a disaster. Dirty paper towels covered the sink area, the floor and over flowed in the trash can. What a dump. The waitress took our meal orders as soon as I returned to the table. 45:00 later our food had not arrived, our waitress was no where to be seen. Each of us dropped money on the table for our drinks and walked to the door. Who should screech up behind us but our absent waitress. "MISS!!! Oh MISS!! YOU NEED TO PAY." I'll say it again because it's true "what a dump" read more

Doing a review because I did not think three stars was fair. Food came promptly and was all very food. The side salad and beef taco was very fresh. Cheese enchiladas were very authentic Mexican, meaning Tex-Mex. I recommend this place. read more

I liked everything. I had the carnitas plate and the Mexican martini. I would recommend eating here. I also liked the prices. Great service.

I always enjoy a meal here. Start off with a Mexican martini or margarita. Then move on to some enchiladas or a chimichanga with fajita chicken which they do so well here. The menu is large and diverse so if you like Mexican food you should find something that you like here. read more

Our hotel concierge recommended Flores as the best Tex-Mex around and, as a person who has enjoyed many an amazing Tex-Mex meal in the Austin area I have to say I'm shocked this place made the list. The good: Pricing is wonderful. Good value for your food. We went at lunch and there are a ton of meal choices for $7.99. They also offer HH priced margaritas ($4) every day, all day. Each day has a different flavor on special. Our mango margarita was tasty, with a light mango flavor. Salsa was spicy and the queso was to die for. The not-as-good: The meal, honestly. My beans had a fishy flavor - almost like they'd been cooked with some type of amino booster. I don't know, whatever it was ended up being odd and slightly off-putting. My lunch fajita tacos were ok but the meat just didn't have much flavor. The same is true of the rice that accompanied my fishy beans. In the end, I ate a lot of queso and salsa and chips, plus had margaritas. I guess that means I'd definitely recommend Flores as a HH joint because they have that game down. I want to be fair: This was a one-time visit for me so I may have hit them on a not-great day. read more

We used to visit Flores regularly and found them to be a solid interior Mexican spot with great tortillas. Well, at least their tortillas are still good. We went there recently after having not visited a while. I ordered the carnitas and a house margarita. Margaritas were VERY heavy on the lime juice, so I really didn't feel all that badly when our server ignored us and didn't offer a second one. The carnitas are supposed to come with a side of onion, limes, cilantro, and jalapeño crema. They didn't give them to us, which basically meant I was just eating salty meat. Well, at least their tortillas are good. Meanwhile, I'm STARING at my server who is having a great time chatting with her friend by the kitchen, but she refuses to make eye contact so I can get the rest of my dish. She never checked up on us until it was time to pay. I only ate about 1/3 of the salty meat monstrosity and I mentioned that they left out the onions, etc, and she proceeded to argue with me that they never came with them (even though I've had them before and both the picture and description on the menu show them). Then she proceeded to tell me I was thinking of pozole. Because apparently I don't know the difference between soup and a taco. She never did offer to make things right. Just dug her heels in on why this dumb customer thought it should look like the photo. Catfished by a taco. read more

Had dinner here tonight with friends. Everyone liked their food except my husband had the fried fish tacos and he said there was too much breading on them. I had the chicken caliente with rice and beans which I really liked. The frozen margarita was also good. The atmosphere as okay and service was good. Pricing seemed reasonable. read more

Perhaps the Christmas season has sofened Ol' Rooster; with me awarding 4 stars to a Flores Restaurant. Sure, we have one over in my neighborhood and the space is just as nice except for the lack of a playscape. Playtime for the boy is nice combined with a tasty meal I didn't expect to actually enjoy the meal. The beans and rice were still bad getting that out of the way immediately. I opted for another Yelpers idea in the mole enchiladas with a generous dollup of sour cream. You experience the bitterness of the chocolate and peppers yet the sour cream works in an amazing amount of flavor. We tried a new approach picking nachos as Rooster's kids meal. He ended up making his own using regular chips scraping off the beans and cheese from the chips it was baked on. It was a struggle getting a eager child to sit on a patio for a meal with a giant slide just to his left. After he ate I told him he could go and play. He spent the next fifteen minutes at full tilt while I relaxed thinking the service was stellar and the food was the best offering I've had from this local chain in some time. This Flores recently relocated from a tired strip center to a classy new one next to a CVS and a few other eateries. Well done with the new place; very inviting and thought out. I couldn't have gotten any better meal near a playscape in Lakeway if I tried. read more
