What a nice surprise. The food was very good and the service was excellent. They decorated fur Christmas which was fun and had a good vibe. Head chef Christopher came out and asked us about the food and asked us if we needed anything . The menu is different from online because it is under new management. My tacos were tasty and my wife’s burger with Brie was unbelievable. Fun drink options and overall the food prices were reasonable. The spinach dip was fantastic just needed more bread. The desserts included the churros and the hazelnut tart. Great presentation.

My husband had been searching for a new place to dine for Valentine’s Day...we had just finished spending a day at the galleria when we drove past Flores Tapas and his interest was immediately piqued. I took a look at the website and noticed they had a Valentine’s Day menu which caught my attention so we decided to make our reservation. The staff was so incredibly friendly and that Valentine’s Day menu needs to be a permanent sweetheart menu because what an impression it made!! The smaller portions of food are to be expected as well...after all, tapas is Spanish for snack or appetizer if you will, and having had weight loss surgery, my husband and I can appreciate a humble portion. This will not be our last visit! You absolutely MUST dine here!!

Edit 4/12/24: **much better experience** We gave the restaurant another chance. They out performed in their service and food. They've changed the menu so there are new options. I had the ribs which were done to perfection! The covid barriers are now down and the appearance of the restaurant is much nicer. It's very nicely decorated! We recommned going and trying them out! They have live music on some nights, so that always draws a good crowd, We Sadly this seems like a restaurant on its way out. Friday night only four tables were seated when we were there. Waitress was never to be found. She was more than neglectful. She was rarely in the room. She didn’t like she knew how to serve. We had to ask for everything. We had to go to the bar to get our drinks. The bartender waited on us and apologized. He was very nice. He even took our food order because she was still missing - remember there were only four tables. 3/22/24 It’s no longer a tapas restaurant. However we enjoyed everything we ate. They have nice tables and beautifully decorated. It was obviously somebody’s dream - which made it sad to see it empty during dining hours. Please take down the Covid barriers. They detracted from the dining experience.

Wow! Completely blown away by this place. Everything was delicious. For cocktails had the purple drank and bullets & bees. Very good and Instagramable drinks. For tapas had the Brussel sprouts, octopus with purple potatoes, jamon croquettes, and their St. Patrick’s Day Cornbeef empanadas special. The seafood paella was so fresh. And ended with churros and homemade peanut butter cup ice cream. Very happy and full belly! Plus the staff is super nice!

The food here was phenomenal. Casual dining with shareable plates and an interesting mix of specialty cocktails. It's one of the only places in the area that has Iberico ham. Everything here is amazing, from atmosphere, to presentation to taste.

We went here with our 14 year-old and 10 year-old and we all had a wonderful time! The restaurant is beautiful and comfortable. The staff are very knowledgeable and friendly. Our 10 year-old is a picky eater and they were happy to adjust a dish for him. The food though!!!! It’s incredible!!!! From the Tapas we had the Tostones (which our picky eater loved!), the Mussels & Chorizo (which our 14 year-old loved so much that we got a second serving of it!), and the Espinacas (which my husband and I devoured!) For our Main dishes we had Churrasco con Chimichurri (which was so perfectly cooked and melt in the mouth), Seafood Paella (which was so delicious I stopped eating long after I was full), and Chicken & Chorizo Paella (which they made without the Chorizo for our picky eater). Finally we finished with a little dessert! Churros with Nutella (MELT IN THE MOUTH HEAVEN), and Tres Leches ( light, airy, and creamy). We also tried some of their cocktails: Llama Drama (the tartness of the grapefruit with the sweetness of the liqueur - so yummy!), Spanish Rose (has an awesome kick from the jalapeno which my husband loved), and the Flores Martini (a twist on the traditional martini). They were delicious and had a good kick - nothing watered down here! Everything was SO DELICIOUS!! We were already making plans to come back before we had even finished the meal!!
