Editorial Review for Spanish Flowers – by Citysearch Editors
The Scene
White stucco, ceramic roof tiles and an expansive two-level patio make Spanish Flowers look like a set from an old "Zorro" movie. Pastel pink-and-green stucco walls, with a bright yellow- and green-tiled accent wall, hardwood floor and other decorative accents drive home the Mexican feel even more. It's an homage to authentic Mexican food and culture.
The Food
Pueblito's Combo, with a cheese enchilada, beef or chicken fajita taco and bean tostada piled high, is packed with flavor. Enchiladas de mole are made with an unbeatable mole sauce, with an exceptional balance between sweet and spicy. To get a higher ratio of mole to entree, order the chicken mole, so you can spoon a little over your rice. A tortilla machine is on the premises so you can expect fresh, hot, unbelievably delicious circles of bread with your meal.

You people are out of your little bird brains if you think this can even pass as average Mexican food. The only bright spot in the entire dining experience I had was the salsa that is slung out on the table before your food arrives and the tortillas. The food lacked seasoning at all, the rice was dry, beans, refried and a la charra were flavorless-well almost flavorless, the refried beans tasted burnt. Fajitas were nothing special and the short ribs were tender, but again, lacked flavor. Service was abysmal; slow, our waiter seemed to be a native Spanish speaker and I speak fluently and am of Hispanic decent I thought we would be well taken care of. Wrong, the kid was hesitant, mumbled, stumbling over his words, forgot drinks after being asked 3 times-in English and Spanish mind you to make sure he got the message. To top it all off, the location of the restaurant ain't exactly what you would call nice; heck I would have felt better eating at Nifa's on Navigation near the 5th Ward rather than this dump. I suppose this place has won the accolades it has because of the 24 hour service it offers; I know I would have to be drunk at around 2:30 in the morning to even consider coming back to N. Main much less attempting to enjoy the slop they try to pass off as "Mexican" food.

This is some of the best Mexican food in town. Service was a little slow in taking our order, but we received chips and drinks while we waited, which were refilled quickly. We ordered chicken fajitas and they came quickly and were more than enough for the two of us. The chicken was seasoned perfectly and the tortillas were delicious! I'll definitely be going back!
Pros: Great Food, Good Price
Cons: slow to take our order
