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.

Spanish Flowers Houston Tx at 12.41 am What in the world are you thinking, Turning a long time customer away based on the thought that your little 24 hour diner (mexican food) is some how a five star restaurant, Mary you serve Nachos and Alcoholic beverages. When someone. anyone has driven to your restaurtant ( in my case from Clear Lake ) you should open your doors and serve them. You do not turn them away, and for what your asking, I was not wearing a "shirt". Mary it may not have not been a " shirt" to you, but dear it covered all that needed to be covered.

Spanish Flowers is such an excellent late night eatery. The tortillas are made fresh for your order. The salsa is fresh and I like that you can taste the cilantro in it. After your order is placed, you get a small cup of potato soup with a beef and tomato base. The tea gets refilled promptly and is always fresh. The queso is a good consistency and delicious! I usually get the fajitas. They are always moist, tender, and sizzling.I usually am not big on Spanish rice, but the rice here is good. I ordered the Mexican chocolate once and I can tell you that is not hand made. It tastes like a powder mix. One thing that aggravates me is that the servers do not write down your drink or appetizer order. They always forget something here. They do write down the main order but I do not like when I order a Pina Colada and get my food before my drink. This place is clean, the restrooms included. There have been a few times where my dining experience was ruined by the condition of the restroom alone. Not here. The parking lot is well lit. I saw someone mention a guard. Truth be told, I have never seen one. Is there really supposed to be one? lol All in all, Spanish Flowers is inviting. The decoration lends to the atmosphere. Of course, I am partial to the Frida Kahlo wall hanging in the left room. The prices do seem to have gone up. I guess it is the economy, because though the food is good.. the quality did not go up. It is very kid friendly. My best friend and I often bring our kids here and have never had a problem.
