While there’s no denying the restaurant is a stunner, it’s the food that keeps people coming back for more. The menu is inspired by the bold flavors and vibrant energy of small towns in Mexico, and everything is made from scratch with love.

Classic dishes with a modern twist are the name of the game at Flora. You’ll see favorites like tacos, enchiladas, and fajitas, prepared traditionally before getting dressed up with contemporary additions like aioli and pickled onions.

Prefer to try a bit of everything? The “small bites” section of the menu is your friend. Chips and guac, refried beans, queso, nachos, spiced chickpeas, and charred octopus make the perfect shareable appetizers (or even light mains!)

If you’re in the mood for something a tad heartier but still want to share, go with Flora’s Parrillada. A chef-selected array of seafood and other meats, this delicious smorgasbord comes with refried beans, Spanish rice, and a salsa flight.

Whatever you do, don’t skip dessert. You’ll see both traditional Mexican sweets like flan and tres leches as well as options like a decadent chocolate tart. You can’t go wrong!

Between the dining room and bar, there’s plenty of indoor seating available. On nice days, however, nothing quite compares to grabbing a table on the terrace and enjoying sweeping views of Buffalo Bayou while you eat!
