The food was amazing! Went here with my girlfriends for a morning brunch. I'm always looking for more ethnic options and being from a Mexican household I felt right at home en La Flor. The decor and atmosphere was beautiful, food was both traditional with modern options. The service was great too, our waitress took our orders timely and didn't hover or push us out like a lot of other brunch spots. We got to enjoy ourselves, catch up and chill. 100% would recommend to friends and family! read more

The flavors are fine and the prices are fair, but I also wasn't blown away. There are somewhat limited savory vegetarian options - I went with the quesadilla. It has some roasted veggies and cheese inside, and comes on a thick corn tortilla - almost thick enough to be a gordita. It was just fine, and came in at around $13. Probably a better choice for the more American dishes or meat dishes. read more

5/5 service 5/5 mango cucumber jicama salad ($13) - so much like mango chutney, so good, I'd go back for this 5/5 Oreo cheesecake $9- on the house since it was a bday celebration, best thing I had there. Don't even like Oreos cuz too sweet but damn, this was good 3/5 tres leches $9- too sweet, but good otherwise 4/5 orange zest & vanilla flan- wish it was less sweet but the caramel on top is a bit burnt/bitter which helped balance a bit. Didn't taste orange zest tho. 3/5 Wild Mushroom pizza ($14) - Goat cheese, shallots, truffle oil. Not a fan of goat cheese since it's so pungent. Decent otherwise. 3/5 "Tacos de Camaron- Jumbo shrimp and roasted red peppers; cilantro, onion, and guacamole. Served with a side salad and red and green sauces." Decent, so much bell peppers tho. 3/5 "Quesadilla de Camaron $14- Jumbo shrimp and roasted red peppers with mashed potatoes between 2 homemade corn tortillas." Made with cornmeal or corn flour instead of tortilla. We were surprised but this is def more filling. 3/5 calamari - bit salty but decent otherwise read more

This place has been here for so many years and I love it. We came for brunch recently and had the Tinga Tostada and the French toast. Both were bomb! The tostada was so fresh and flavorful. The French toast is made with their homemade bread and the real maple syrup fruit compote made it incredible. They're also open earlier than most places for those who like an early breakfast. read more

Stumbled upon this place while in the neighborhood. It's right off the 52st 7 train and totally worth a visit! The place was a little dark and hard to see inside, my husband thought it was a bakery but then when I looked it up there were great reviews and boy did this place have some yummy food with great prices! We started with the elote corn which was so yummy and the friend calamari! Also very good! Then we had the bbq pork torta and the shrimp tacos! Soo much food but we ate it all because we were so hungry. It was all very delicious and I would definitely come back and recommend. The inside ambiance is very local vibe with an open kitchen. The staff were very sweet and nice. Not to mention everything is very reasonable in price :) it's not manhattan prices that's for sure! read more

I've been here several times before this year, but I haven't been back in a while until now. I never wrote a review either. There's plenty of seating inside, so there's no need to make reservations, especially for lunch or brunch time. They serve lunch, brunch, and dinner menus here. I couldn't decide what to order here bc there was so much to choose from. I eventually chose from the dinner/ lunch menu. The waiter was really nice and patient. He gave some suggestions and examples of dishes that we had questions on. I decided on a white sangria, bistec quesadilla, and elote. The street fair elote was pretty good with the chipotle aioli lime sauce. I was very satisfied after the meal and would eventually go back. read more

I wanted to like this place since I always see that is packed. A nice decor so I decided to give it a try by ordering something to go. I got myself two tortas and I should've listen to the red flags before playing an order. Only 2 tortas for a Mexican place that's red flag number one. When ask if the tortas have cheese since it wasn't on the description the server had to ask! Red flag number two. When placing the order the server told me that it came with a salad! Red flag number 3. The tortas themselves had decent flavor but they came in a burger bun! Second the torta was miniature any other place, that would only cost less than 8$ and i was charged 13$. I guess they charge 5 dollars for a side salad that was only Romanian lettuce. Long story short it might be a good place outside my experience but it is most definitely not a Mexican place so beware. read more

My wife and I finally tried this place after 10 years of passing it by when driving from central Queens (Rego Park) to Astoria, Jackson Heights, Sunnyside, Woodside and LIC. That night we ordered appetizers, including my wife's soup of the day, which was a delicious pea soup. My starter was the chicken flautas that come dressed with red and green salsas and crema to illustrate the Mexican flag. The flautas were hot and crispy right out of the fryer, filled with chicken and mashed potatoes. This dish was perfect. My wife's entree was the carne asada torta which she said was delicious. She simply wanted something mild since she doesn't tolerate spicy food well, and also with the help of the friendly waitress she had navigated a number of allergens. The sandwich came with a side of greens. I chose the nuclear option: the molcajete with hangar steak, fresh corn, nopales (cactus), grilled jalapeño and mashed potatoes. The entire spectacle was delicious and beautifully presented in a stone molcajete. We would definitely try this place again which was only overlooked since we have lots of choices of authentic Mexican food. read more

I wanted to visit La Flor for a while. It's a cute place under the 7 train, it's a little hidden. The cappuccino is delicious, I would get it again. The mac and cheese with chorizo could be cheesier but it had good flavor. I got the huevos mexicanos, it was a decent dish but I feel like it needed a meat or rice to make it more hearty. La flor torta comes with a sauce that was a bit on the sweeter side. To end off the meal, we got the pastry basket which was mostly bread, scones and few muffins. It was warmed up but I expected more sweet stuff like cookies or conchas. I want to visit again to taste the dinner menu. I'm hoping it's better next time. read more

beautiful and delicious spot. got takeout but ended up eating it all there. ordered tacos, flautas, molcajete. service was very kind.

Delicious food interesting menu. Unique decor. Bakery case of enticing desserts. Family run I believe.

I came in with a friend a week ago to try their brunch options. It was the middle of the week, and there was plenty of seating indoors and absolutely no one sitting outside. I had the steak and eggs rancheros, and I loved it. I felt it was a good portion and felt so satisfying. I would definitely come back to try that vanilla french toast. There were so many things on the menu that I had my eye on like the Mayeli's waffle, shrimp omelette, Irish Breakfast, or the Pitaya bowl. So many options! Only one hour for lunch. Oh well. That means more to try next time. My friend really enjoyed her meal also which was huevos a la mexicana, and she was liked it also. She said it really hit the spot and was flavorful. The wait staff was patient and helpful as well. I would recommend visiting this place for their brunch. read more

My significant other enjoyed his plate - my plate was a bit off (wasn't really warm/hot). You can tell the waitress took notice and did ask- I told her I was weird. But, honestly I eat what I like and what I don't: I don't eat it. She mentioned it to the chef who stared me down until we left. I did love the fries and she told him and then he stared me down even more. The waitress was sweet. read more

Neighborhood staples don't come any better than La Flor in Woodside. Charming both in and out, this Mexican themed eatery has been lauded for its infamous brunch hour and simple execution of comfort foods for all palates. It is a place where pretension is checked at the door with a casual vibe that leaves folks wanting more. The decor is caked in the flowery theme and the cafe-like layout is perfect for small groups and duos with plenty of space in between. The tables have flower patterns and the occasional bouquet for a killer center piece. Big windows ensure a sun kissed dining room and the minimal lighting during the evening evokes an intimate aura that really provides all the feels. On a food front, the presentation of many of the dishes are reminiscent of home cooking more so than restaurant quality execution. The portions could be heartier but are enough to keep people satiated than overly full. Brunch is one of their most popular reasons to come here. From a colorful quesadilla to a drizzled up huevos rancheros, there are Mexican variations of classic omelets to hollandaise drenched egg benedicts. Much of it is good, but not mind blowing. No one coming here should expect the latter due to its vibe, but as always, come with good company. This includes children as well, but only during the day time. Their dinner hour is my preferred time to come. The aura is completely different with the mood, dim lighting, occasional weekend live music, and the dishes look pretty legit. Their short rib is very tasty, I just wish there was more of it. Same bodes for the leg of lamb and much of their meat protein based platters. I wish I could get behind their tacos and mac + cheese, but both could've used a bit more seasoning. I would always recommend listening to their specials of the day / evening. Service is always on point and their friendliness is hard to ignore. They have done a masterful job at capturing the hearts of the Woodside residents across the block. A big reminder to all first timers, in that this place is strictly cash only. ATMs are next door at the discount store and the place is literally one block away from the 52nd Street subway station. read more

(Their door says cash only but they do accept credit cards!) I visited La Flor for a nice light brunch - which is served until 2PM. As soon as you walk in, you get a glimpse of its beautiful decor - very homey & with some beautiful indoor plants. Service was very quick and friendly. Their menu has a nice small selection of great items - quick & to the point. I ordered their avocado toast which was served on a fresh homemade bread. My boyfriend ordered the steak huevos rancheros. I will say it was the perfect portion for us but definitely not your classic authentic Mexican portions. La Flor is a perfect Mexican-American light brunch spot with fresh baked goods daily! read more

Does the idea of a restaurant not being 100% authentic bother me? Absolutely not. At the end of the day, good food is good food if it's traditional or not. I live in a predominantly Hispanic neighborhood and I eat a ton of authentic Mexican food and I like it a lot. I also really like La Flor a lot because you know what, it has awesome food. I have been here numerous times over the years and I have always left happy and satisfied. The brunch is stellar, their dessert is stellar. They also have live music which is a nice touch, but a tad on the loud side. The food: Grilled Portobello Mushroom Salad- Baby greens, plum tomatoes, goat cheese, balsamic reduction. The major point about this place, they know how to dress a salad properly. I really like this dish a lot, it's light, refreshing and the balsamic adds a strong punch in the face flavor, my only critique would be the goat cheese is a little too strong. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=dT7ukocOojxl8RKyoC9sNA&userid=Y_iTTjKvV5hLy-880SZzlA Quesadilla de Camaron- jumbo shrimp, string cheese & roasted pepper. This dish is so good. You could taste shrimp in every bite, the sauces are great and the portion is pretty generous. http://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=5STQQKOgYApN0oVvYvpTSg&userid=Y_iTTjKvV5hLy-880SZzlA Quesadilla De Bistec- Marinated beef with chiles & cumin- Like the above, the quesadilla is not the American version you think of. The one here is dressed very uniquely and the mash potatoes inside sounds weird but they totally work. The bistec is good but the shrimp is better, I say the shrimp is a must order. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=jiOPeObsTFDL-VRvblB_gA&userid=Y_iTTjKvV5hLy-880SZzlA La Flor Torta- chipotle, barbecue marinated pork loin & fresh cheese. I think the bread is homemade and fantastic, the pork is cooked nicely but the cheese, quac and sauces are what make this dish shine. Oven Baked Jumbo Shrimp- stuffed with crabmeat, over mashed potatoes, sauteed spinach & corn scampi sauce. This dish is another really good dish. The shrimp is cooked nicely and the corn scampi sauce adds a subtle sweetness that pairs well with the shrimp. Spaghetti With Shrimp- sauteed seasonal vegetables in light garlic sauce. Seems like such a standard dish, but it has so much flavor. The shrimp is cooked nicely and the garlic sauce ties everything together perfectly. read more

I am complete shocked and astonished that I haven't reviewed this restaurant on Yelp before now because I have been going here since it opened nearly 15 years ago! This is probably one of my favorite places to eat in all of Queens. Over the years the menu has changed some, but still some of my favorites remain. All the tacos are delicious - I really enjoy the Tacos De Vegetables. The Calamari in crisp corn meal batter and spicy chipotle mayo. La Flor Torta is a must try among some of the main stays of the menu. There are often specials that Chef Viko adds to its usual menu of entrees keeping the menu varied and myself surprised that a kitchen so small can turn out so many dishes done so well! The baked goods and desserts are a must as well. Fresh Fruit tart is always delicious, Banana Bread pudding is insanely good as well. Their cookies and croissants are always on point. This place epitomizes what makes up the best of Queens. The beautiful flower (La Flor) growing through the crack of the pavement. The colorful mosaic decor (all made by Viko as well) creates a wonderful escape from the general gloominess under the 7 train. If you haven't done so already, do yourself a favor and check out La Flor today! read more

What a cute breakfast spot we stumbled upon while taking a stroll down Queens Blvd. The atmosphere was super homey upon arriving and that feeling lasted throughout our experience here. The food was really tasty, I got the salmon benedict and the home fries it came with had zucchini in it, which was creative I thought. My boyfriend got the blueberry pancakes and eggs. His food was delicious as well. The coffee was underwhelming and the menu didn't have that many brunch options, which is why I gave this restaurant a 4, however, I'd definitely revisit. read more

Found La Flor while staged up near LGA (early flight next morning), went in for an early Dinner, left blown away.... Cold blustery mid-November day, were quickly seated, it was very clean, warm and very attentive and helpful staff. Started with Shrimp & Chorizo Guacamole and house made Tortillas, spicy and very satisfying.... Had the Pear and Arugula Salad with blue cheese and walnuts, so fresh, house made vinaigrette - large, fresh, so perfect with red onions, blue cheese and walnuts.... Paired with toasted rolls and butter Then had the Braised Lamb Shank w/ Red Wine reduction, Mashed Potatoes and Sautéed Spinach, it was a very large portion (so glad we shared) and so tender and savory, truly a comfort food moment.... We had spent 3 nights in the City, ate some amazing meals, but this was as nice as anything we've enjoyed in a while! With little room for dessert, the wife and I passed on the Tiramisu and opted for the Tres Leches and Caffe Lattes... welp, they delivered both as they felt my Wife wanted the Tiramisu and comp'd hers!! Too gracious and phenomenal service. Try a window seat and enjoy the local life as you dine. read more

So I went to La Flor for Sunday brunch and ordered the chicken quesadilla, a cheeseburger, and fried calamari. The fried calamari was okay, the chicken quesadilla was tasty however the cheeseburger was absolutely disgusting. I took one bite and the bun started tearing apart, the meat patty was not cooked properly and was in two pieces when it was delivered to me, the inside was almost raw (I asked for a burger to be cooked medium), there was no sauce of any kind in the burger, and they only provided plain iceberg lettuce. I was charged $12 for the burger, I ate one bite. I probably could've made a better burger at home I am highly disappointed. The burger also came with fries that were drenched in oil. Needless to say I will not be visiting this establishment ever again. read more

In a decidely unglamorous location under the tracks of the #7 train sits this bakery/cafe that turns out bangin' breakfast/brunch plates all cooked to order in their open kitchen. My brunch was decidely feastlike at a price that would have been a 1/3 more for this quality food in a Manhattan or Park Slope loc. The waitresses run around frantically, but got everything right starting with my hot chocolate with an ice-cube(requested) and a touch of cinammon and was quite good. A cranberry scone was tasty served with butter and prepackaged preserves, If they had made their own preserves it would have been a home run. My Mexican inspired egg dish on a tortilla with a layer of cheese was delish as was the huge sides of a freshly shucked corn salad and Peruvian purple potato salad, I also ordered. The corn salad with a splash of balsamic was superior to the one at DBGB. I really can't think of a better tasting brunch that I have had in a while. The whole meal was under $20 and this was a giant amount of lovely food. read more

I don't know this area at all, but when a friend suggested we meet him and his family here, we thought, why not? The place seemed a bit more upscale than the other places in the area. Not being a resident, I'm not sure how much the locals like this place, but if we were Woodsiders, we'd be repeat offenders. I was pleasantly surprised to see that the pork enchilada torta was just that -- a torta, a sandwich -- but being a gringo, I don't know my ass from asada. The sandwich featured a thick bun, flattened though tasty portion of pork, cheese, tomatoes (removed), and lettuce. My wife had a zucchini blossom omelette and liked it very much, though later she wondered if she should have eaten it. Side notes: I think we drove a bunch of people out of there -- two screaming infants will do that -- but the staff didn't seem to mind the distraction. Also, the category may say "Bakery," but don't be fooled: this is definitely a restaurant. read more

This is a 3.5 star place. I went for lunch and it was relatively empty. Service was great- orders taken quickly and everything served in good time. Everything tasted authentic to me- this isn't the watered down American version of Mexican food so if you're looking for a chipotle/Taco Bell style burrito, don't go here. I would say portions are fair. I ate my lamb shank and had some veggie quesadilla and was stuffed. Lamb shank was cooked perfectly- tender falling off bone, even my one year old could eat it with no chewing problems. Mashed potatoes and spinach also cooked perfectly. Flavor was just ok though. Nothing spectacular. Veggie quesadilla was eh... Wouldn't get this again for sure. I prefer my quesadillas chewy with lots of mozzarella cheese. This was more fluffy with the crumbly cheese. The ambience is cozy- not a fine dining atmosphere. More like a hole in the wall. And because of that I would expect to pay less. Wouldn't go out of my way to come here again. Parking is a little difficult because it's in the congested part of woodside- on Roosevelt. Good luck with that. Take train here if possible. All in all, a decent restaurant for authentic Mexican food if you're in the area give it a try. If you're not, I wouldn't make the special trip. read more
