af&co. Eats – Michael Explores His New Neighborhood and Visits Flores

A restaurant, when done right, gives a guest a unique culinary and social experience. Flores, in San Francisco, is a restaurant done right. A bright, buzzy neighborhood restaurant cafe serving traditional Mexican cuisine & sophisticated craft cocktails, Flores SF carries its vibrancy throughout the restaurant in every way possible. From the waving palm leaves on the ceiling to the colorful murals on the walls, Flores brings its brand to life and leaves no stone unturned. Every guest touchpoint from start to finish is thoughtful and executed to the highest of standards (this is an Adriano Paganini restaurant).

If you ever find yourself dining in here, these are my recommendations for food and beverages:

You must start off with the guacamole and some ceviche mixto. Order the pulpo dorado with cranberry beans, pico de gallo, and serrano and you can’t go wrong with the tacos de pescado, fried cod tacos, cabbage slaw, chipotle aioli, and lime. If you’re looking for a vegetarian option, the quesadilla huitlacoche with dino kale is delicious. For drinks, order a mezcal margarita.. or two.
