Las Flores

Start out with very very cold Mexican beer in the frozen mug.
Chips are served hot.
Portions are very good and the value for the food is also very good.
Two choices for beans, refried or Charro. The Charro beans are excellent.

The best Mexican food in the Alvin, Manvel, Friendswood and Pearland areas. Been coming since they opened 18 years ago. Consistently outstanding!

We have never been disappointed by the staff and food at Las Flores. It is a mom and pop place, lacking a bit in décor but again the food and staff more than makes up for it.

Absolutely terrible. We went at lunch at I ordered the cheese enchiladas. They were served cold. I sent them back. The beans were straight out of a can and the rice was gummy. There are far more good choices in Alvin than this place. Avoid.

Super inexpensive and yummy tex-​mex. My favorites are the cheese enchilada dinner and the fajita quesadillas… so cheesy! The waitstaff have all worked there for years and they know and remember their customers. I know they sell beer but I’m not sure if they have a full bar since it’s in Alvin. We order lunch from here once a week at work because we all love it so much.
My favorite part? It’s within walking distance of my house!

Though it may not be a destination point, Alvin, TX has its share of Mexican restaurants, which leaves you at no loss for your favorite fixes. Las Flores barely exists in a struggling strip center that has lots of closed businesses. Once people start realizing that Alvin is the new suburb of Houston, these places will see a renaissance.
Las Flores, clearly a family owned business has the charming feel of someone’s kitchen with spicy and heavenly scents emanating from the kitchen. At lunch on this day, I had the combo platter: 6 oz of chicken fajitas and four grilled shrimp with the requisite Mexican sides. The fajita meat was tender and tasty. With their tortillas, I made happy little loafs, but there were no bell peppers. The shrimp were great, but I did not realize they were bacon-​wrapped, and I don’t do bacon. I unraveled them and saw the shrimp were very large.
Everything was tasty except for this butter sauce that came with the meal, which was way too salty. I’d return the next time I was working in the area. The family that runs the place is very sweet all around, and the value is a good one.
