"In addition to serving pretty great Mexican food, the folks at La Flor know how to create a mood. During the day, breakfast included, it’s a pleasant, sunny place where people eat chicken tinga tostadas and tortas filled with spicy, chipotle marinated barbecued pork. True to its name, the restaurant is covered in hand-painted flowers and filled with bouquet centerpieces. As you look out at people rushing on and off the 7 train, the quiet, spacious restaurant feels sort of serene. At night, soft lighting and the low hum of jazz music turn this into a mellow date spot. Some nights, there’s live music. Whenever you come in, expect a solid selection of dishes like sweet mole enchiladas and jumbo shrimp stuffed with crab meat. " - neha talreja, nikko duren
