The staff was great and quick to make us feel welcome and get us seated. The decor is classic Mexican restaurant with bright garland, comfy seats, and plenty of folk art. The food was really solid and came out of the kitchen quickly and piping hot. My birria quesadilla was balanced well between meat and cheese. And the prices were reasonable. This is a good choice for Mexican food!

Our friend ordered Hawaiian fajitas which came in a fresh pineapple. My combo of chose was Nina's combo which included shredded chicken in mole sauce (too sweet for my taste buds), queso fresco, red onions, and a chile relleno. The chile relleno was the reason I got this dish. The chile relleno was decent. Our booth felt a bit cramped for two couples. Prices were moderate. Overall a nice experience.

This has become one of our families favorites in Portland.

Eggplant Milanese was a good sharable size and enjoyed by everybody. The margaritas are delicious - the mango margarita with a nice way to celebrate a spring day, and I love the Diablo, which is probably my favorite type of margarita.. Every taco was perfect - crispy and filled with so much flavor and texture. The blue corn chorizo Verde taco was a revelation - I normally don't tend to mix my meats in a taco, but I've gotta change that in the future because this was just so good. The mushroom Dorado tacos were also great. And the chicken gringa was just what my wife wanted.. the fish tacos are just right - they need some spice and slaw in addition to perfect fish - - - too many places just throw some fish and don't really get the rest of it right, but they do here in Lenora.

We ordered the queso and chips along with the black bean tostada and chicken tostada. The queso was good but tasted like something you'd get at any Mexican restaurant. The black bean tostada hit the spot enough with flavor, but the chicken tostada lacked flavor and seasoning. There are a lot of tables available along with an outdoor area, and I can see being a popular spot for brunch. Our server was friendly but a little hard to get ahold of at times despite it not being busy. Overall I think the vibe here is fun but I wouldn't come back for the food.

At first glance, Flores doesn't seem like the most vegetarian-friendly spot, but the staff were very accommodating and answered all our questions. Most importantly, they said that the pinto beans and rice were vegetarian.

Everything was DELICIOUS. We left full and happy. Service was a little slow even though we went before the dinner rush FYI.

The staff was friendly, although very slow for the amount of people in the restaurant. It started out good with delicious chips and salsa. I had a jalapeño margarita, which was good at the first sip, but not so much by the end. Being a lover of enchiladas, I went with the three salsas enchiladas, which looked delicious served either rice and black beans. The rice was extremely dry and had clearly been overcooked or sitting around for a very long time. It was pretty much inedible. The beans were good at least. The chicken in the enchiladas was so dry you could probably grow a cactus in it. The flavors of the enchiladas were highly muted by the extremely dry chicken. If it weren't for the queso that we ordered with the chips, the entire meal would have been a loss. Sorry, but not even giving this place a second try, it was really bad!

They also have a fabulous salsa bar with all kinds of toppings, which looked amazing. Biggest regret is not getting a Margarita. Highly recommend Taco Trio!!

This was some of the best Mexican food I've ever had. The portions were insane and everything we…read moreate was delicious. Service was good, everyone who works there is very friendly. I ordered the veggie quesadillas and they were amazing. They were filled with roasted squash and carrots aside from the usual peppers and onions so they were way more filling than the usual veggie quesadilla, and the veggies had great seasoning. Husband got the steak burrito and he loved it. The portion sizes were massive. We both took home enough for another meal. Plantains were good. We especially loved the complimentary sopapilla-esque bites of cinnamon sugar tortillas with whipped cream and cherry sauce which were provided at the end of our meal. There was one per person and it was a nice sweet light bite to end the meal.

It came just as I would have expected, with the meat nestled inside of the plantain, but there was also more fried pork belly on the plate and it ended up being the perfect ratio of chícharon to plantain. The pleasant man who took my order at the counter brought my plate to the table, and asked if I liked hot sauce - I do! So I had everything to enjoy a taste of Puerto Rico :) Had a little left over and it was just as tasty the next day. Que rico! I'll be back to taste food from other parts of Latin America, or maybe I'll just go with the mofongo again! Only suggestion is to personalize the space to give it more of a Latin restaurant feel and less of a generic fast food joint.

I could've done without the lettuce in the burrito, and I did remove 1 star because it was falling apart when I got home and I ended up having to use my own (store bought) tortilla, which was disappointing after paying $17 for a burrito. Even so, everything was super flavorful! Tacos would be my recommendation to others. I also very much appreciate that the food is all authentic and handmade, they had picnic tables in the shade for seating, and the chef was welcoming and happy to explain the menu options.
