Flora Cafe

Today I had a date with my son. We chose Flora Cafe for lunch. The atmosphere was smaller but clean and decorated with cute decor. I ordered the chicken and steak fajitas with a mango margarita. My son had the Steak chimichanga. Our appetizer consisted of the bean dip with combo chips(flour and corn). Oh my goodness food came out piping hot! Everything was delicious. The beans and rice perfectly seasoned. The bean dip was topped with queso cheese, so yummy!Not a big drinker at all but felt my face get flushed from my drink! I will return most definitely!!!

This place is adorable and the food was absolutely amazing! I had the chimichunga con asada, it was absolutely delicious! I followed it up with the horchata ice cream that tasted like it HAD to be homemade with yummy little churros. The server was attentive and kind! 10/10, I will be going back soon!

We waited about 15 minutes just to be seated, and once we finally sat down, no one brought us menus. After another 10 minutes, we had to ask a waiter for them. No one asked if we wanted drinks, either. After we placed our order, we waited another full hour for our food, and during that entire time our waiter never checked on us once. I started watching the staff, and several of them were just standing by the tablet talking while customers—including people who walked in after us—waited 10 minutes or more just to be greeted. I even saw multiple people walk out because they never received any help. There were also several dirty tables that could’ve easily been cleaned right away. I checked other reviews afterward (wish I had read them before coming), and many people mentioned poor management. I fully agree—lack of proper management was very obvious and is likely the main reason the service was so bad. When our food finally arrived, it was extremely disappointing. The rice and beans tasted like canned beans and instant rice. They were so bad I couldn’t even eat them. My mom ordered a burrito and couldn’t finish hers either. My aunt asked for salsa, and the waiter never came back—she had to get up and get it herself. It honestly felt like the waiter disappeared until it was time for us to pay which was way over priced for the lack of flavor. Overall, this was one of the worst dining experiences we’ve had. We will not be returning. Hopefully they make improvements, because the service and food were very poor.

Stopped by Flora’s this morning after my morning workout. We started with the guacamole (fresh and flavorful!) and corn tortilla chips. I got the chilaquiles. You can choose red or green salsa or both! I picked both and added a protein (chorizo) it was so delicious!!! Their salsa is spicy, but also flavorful. My boyfriend got the Lonche B.L.T. which was also delicious! The perfect crispiness of the toasted bread, the milaneza and the bacon was so crunchy!!! So good. Would definitely come back again for more!

The atmosphere of this place was neat and had a good vibe. I ordered chips and queso and then the steak and chicken fajitas. The chips and queso was subpar, I would prefer to have gotten a jar of the store bought over this. Chips were stale and the queso was flavorless and had a very thick consistency. The fajitas were hot coming out of the kitchen, although getting the food fast I should have known this was a sign. The steak and chicken were also very under seasoned. I would have to say the veggies in the fajitas were the only thing that were good.

Absolutely LOVED our whole experience. Staff was friendly and helpful, the food was absolutely delicious, and the cafe itself is very cute. Highly, highly recommend the asada chimichanga.

Well we seen a Tiktok on Flora Cafe in Omaha. We was greeted at the door. There was a 30-40 minute wait. We waited it out. Let's just say it was o ly maybe 20. They were super busy. We got seated and made our order. OMG. WE WILL BE BACK! This place was super good and the flavors were unbelievable. It will be worth the drive to eat there and enjoy a nice cocktail.

Flora Cafe is a charming little oasis in Omaha that offers a delightful dining experience! With its cozy and inviting atmosphere, it's perfect for a casual meal or a catch-up with friends over coffee. The menu features a lovely variety of dishes, including fresh salads, scrumptious sandwiches, and fantastic brunch options. I highly recommend the heritage grain salad, which is packed with flavors and textures, making it both nutritious and satisfying. The smoked salmon bagel is another favorite—perfectly served with cream cheese and capers. One of the highlights at Flora Cafe is their coffee selection. They serve meticulously brewed beverages that highlight local roasters, ensuring you get a perfect cup every time. The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive, providing excellent service that makes you feel right at home. The ambiance is also enhanced by beautiful decor and plants, creating a serene environment. If you’re in Omaha, definitely make a stop at Flora Cafe for a refreshing meal and a great cup of coffee—you won’t be disappointed!

This cafe is so cute. The food was excellent. Everything we had had great flavor. Chips and salsa were perfection. Service was amazing. Staff were attentive and helpful. Definitely recommend.

The cafe is very pretty inside and the service was wonderful. My husband and I had the Taco Arrier with abodada & chorizo and the Taco De La Casa with chicken. The chicken was juicy and tender and wonderfully seasoned and the pork was delicious. I also want to give a shout-out to the Abuelita Chai. It was the BEST. Will definitely go back soon!

Really good nachos! This place is so cute and located right next to the park. definitely try next time you're downtown!

This place is SO lovely!! I highly HIGHLYYYY recommend supporting them during this insane instruction that's happening downtown! The food was SO GREAT!!!!!!!! AMAZING! I got the Brown Sugar Shaken Espresso (iced) and the PAN A LAFRANCESA. The blueberry compote was such a great flavor to mix with the cinnamon and ice cream! The service was great, she was very attentive and sweet! Our food was out quick and I am excited to go back!

This a good place to go if you are looking for some good Mexican breakfast! The service was ok since the waiter took long to get our order but after it was place the food came out fast. It's a chill place with a very chill atmosphere. I got the chilaquiles which were full of flavor with a coffee. My wife got a breakfast sandwich and she said it taste really good. Overall I would recommend and planning on going back.

The food was amazing, huge shout out to the chefs and cooks. 5/5 to the food, the service on the other hand could be a bit better. Numerous servers just standing around talking and I asked for water about 3 times the 4th time I asked I finally got it but that was once we were already done eating. We were only checked up on once and also once we were done waiting to pay like I said no one came to check up on us while all the ladies were just talking amongst each other and ignoring us 10-15 mins after we were done eating then we finally got someone to come and ask if we were ready to pay. Overall amazing food 5/5 Service 3/5 Price a bit pricey but that's about the average for a cafe at least the food redeemed it. Also beautiful location inside and out.

Had flora for dinner tonight with my boys. Very solid again. Loved the chips and salsa. Had the queso birria tacos tonight. Very good! Will be back for sure

Located right next to the Gene Leahy mall this is a popping spot and even have some outdoor seating options. They are still open with all of the construction and not hard to get to! (parking is going to take some patience). First time checking this spot out and the vibes are CUTEEE! I'm excited to try out breakfast here. I couldn't find a menu online but it looked like pumpkin pancakes (at a Mexican joint?! I'm in!). They serve breakfast, lunch, dinner, and have a cafe for all your coffee needs. Most of the entrees are probably 1-2 servings so come hungry or be ready for leftovers. Vegetarians, they have a few options without meat or you can ask for a lot of items without meat. I got the giant burrito minus the meat and it was HUGE! The star of the show was the chips and salsa. You can get corn, flour, or a mix of both. I'm a big fan of their flour tortillas. The salsa was flavorful and the overall it was a great value!

Don't let the streetcar construction out front keep you from visiting Flora Portions were generous, flavors were luscious and layered, and service was attentive at this new restaurant across the street from Leahy mall. We enjoyed the chips and queso, fundido, chimichanga and barria tacos. The bar is stocked mostly for margaritas, which is not unreasonable. There's plenty of parking as long as long as you are willing to look past the front door.

What a great remodel to this space! My husband and I had many of our first dates at the former business, Matsu Sushi, and it was fun to see so many delightful design changes. I came in kind of last minute on a date with my kids after a show at the Rose Theatre. And man, I am so glad we took this little detour! I LOVE chillaquiles and have struggled to find a really perfect dish in Omaha, but it has been waiting for me at Flora cafe! It was seriously so good - flavorful and spicy, all the textures were right, generous portion sizes..truly I can't wait to return for it! My kids decided to try some tacos and a French toast dish that they also REALLY enjoyed. The service was attentive, the meals were so, so good and the atmosphere was so fun and uplifting. We will definitely brave the streetcar traffic again for Flora!

Decent location, but now it's more difficult with all the construction in front of the restaurant. Tried their corn and flour tortilla chips with queso dip, which was good but harden quick. Tried a dish that was new to me in the picture attached, it was very big and filling and tasted great thế next day too. Service was quick and nice!

I was really not impressed with this restaurant. I ordered the taco arriero. I had never had this before, but the description sounded good. With the cabbage and cilantro, sounded like it would have nice flavors. Unfortunately, the taco was huge; lots of meat and beans and no fresh flavors. It was served in a thick corn tortilla. This was too big and messy to pick up - and that's fine - but also I just could make much progress stabbing at it with my cardstock-thin fork. A knife would have been nice. And where is the salsa? I asked our server, she seemed quite confused by this request; eventually she came back with two tiny containers. Like a Tablespoon each. The taco came with a side of two fried tostadas. Yes, just the shell. I don't even know what to do with this. Everything bland, hard, and greasy. My husband got the chimichanga and he was happy with it. I took a bite and was not impressed at all. I know that the construction for the streetcar is hurting the businesses along the route. But, to stay in business, a place has to give customers a reason to come back. There is so much good Mexican food in town; I don't see myself returning here.

I just visited Florida Café for the first time and loved it! The people who know me, know that you chilaquiles are my favorite breakfast meal. I was so excited to see them in their menu so I had to order them. My expectations were high and Flora Cafe delivered! My boyfriend ordered their skillet with birria and he also really enjoyed his food. Besides the delicious food, the service was great. Our server was really nice and checked in with us often. I also liked the space and their outdoor seating. When we got there, there was a little bit of a line, but the wait was minimal. I will definitely go back and try their lunch menu!

The food and staff are great. It's a great mix of tradition and new school. The food came out quick and the flavor was fantastic. We would definitely come back. A very low key atmosphere and the staff seem to enjoy themselves as well. Checkout this spot you won't be disappointed.

I have lived in Texas and California my whole life. But my meal here was so good, it made me forget how far Omaha is from the border! The quesabirria tacos were wonderful. Birria is like a Mexican pot roast. You separate the broth after cooking the meat and serve it on the side as a consume to dip your tacos in. And to ensure that your tacos can stand to up being dipped, you pan fry them in the beef fat you skim off the broth. These were generously filled with birria and queso with onions and cilantro. And in addition to the consume, they come with a mild red salsa and a medium-spicy green salsa that I really enjoyed. My waitress was so personable and treated everyone like family. She also brought extra napkins unprompted, as well as a pitcher of ice water (it was a hot day). The place is new. Shiny and clean. With Mexican music on in the background. They also have amazing lattes and even an Abuelita chai - a cross between an Indian Chai and that iconic Mexican cocoa. It's not a big menu and I only tried the quesabirria and the chai, but I was impressed -- and very full!

This is my new favorite addition to Omaha, I have been recommending it to everyone! I don't usually like Mexican food, but the flavors from these dishes opened my eyes! I tried the breakfast burrito with the chorizo, which was a bit spicy. The flavor was absolutely amazing, they also gave me a side of salsa to put on top and it really completed the flavor. My latte was also amazing, I got it with oat milk as well. The syrup was sweet and carmely with a touch of cinnamon. I can't wait to go back!

Flora was such a great find! I had the Queso Birria Tacos and they were perfectly crunchy, flavorful, and just the right amount of food. We also shared chips and guacamole -- super fresh and tasty. The margaritas were strong but still delicious, and the Albuelita Chai absolutely lived up to the hype! There's plenty of indoor seating and a nice patio area that would be great on a nice day. My only small complaint was that the tables were a bit tight, but it didn't take away from how much we enjoyed the meal. Overall, loved this place and will definitely be back!

This was my first dinner while in Omaha for work. I wasn't sure they were open because the entire road in front of them is under construction, but they were actually open. No one was in the restaurant when I walked in, but before I left, they were four other tables occupied. I think they were training a new server because I wasn't ready to order the first time they came to the table and then it took a while for someone to come back and take my order. I ended up trying the adobada quesadilla. It comes with rice and beans or you can have french fries. I got rice and beans, but they were both ice cold. The quesadilla itself was hot and it was tasty.

Wonderful experience and first time visiting! Loved the authenticity of the beautiful decor, the plumeado cantarito coffee mugs to the clay plates and fresh tortilla woven baskets. The drinks were delicious and of course the Chilaquiles were perfect! Loved the green and red sauce combination. Everyone was so helpful and friendly! Looking forward to another visit soon!

Great new addition to downtown, which has little to no breakfast options! They are actually open though for Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner, we went for lunch! There was 1 server for the entire restaurant the day we went, I felt so bad she was hustling non stop, and it was pretty full when we walked in, the entire 1.5 hours we were there, and when we left! Which is definitely deserved because the food was so so good! I don't typically order Birra Tacos, but for some reason it was calling my name and they were amazing, the shells, the meat, the consommé, put together perfectly! My cousin loved her burrito that was the size of a small baby, she had to take half of it home! It was a short walk from my walk and I will definitely be bringing more lunch dates here in the future!

the food here is FANTASTIC, honestly i believe it's the best mexican restaurant in downtown omaha right now! the staff is above & beyond friendly, the entrees/drinks come out super fast, and everything is made SO fresh and delicious! looking forward to coming back to try their breakfast and more of their lattes. the cafe itself is more of a sit in restaurant vibe with cozy seating so you'll never want to leave! the infamous omaha construction is kinda making access a bit difficult but i guarantee it's worth the effort

Decor: Rustic and authentically Mexican. Atmosphere: Relaxed, warm, and inviting. Service: Fast and always polite. Food: AMAZING--truly one of the best brunch spots in Omaha! Coffee: The cinnamon-shaken espresso beats any coffee shop in town. Price: Extremely reasonable for the generous portions and top-quality food. Overall: Amazingly delicious. A fantastic addition to downtown Omaha--I'll definitely be back!

The abuelita latte was incredible. This is a fun spot, but hard to find a good time to go!

I went with a large group on a Saturday, we had a reservation and I'm glad we did b/c this place was pretty busy. All the drinks people ordered were delicious. All the food dishes were even better. The space is small but the tables are spaced properly so it doesn't feel cramped Service was great too-with 12 people we hardly had to wait for our drinks/entrees/refills

A wonderful place in the center of downtown Omaha! Holy cannoli, the service & food were top notch. The server was great and knowledgeable about what the best plates would be. We ordered two drinks, a latte and milkshake, and then two entrees. The tacos are to die for!!! An authentic experience but would make you want to come back every night! The quesa birria was incredible, some of the best I've ever had! The server again was just so polite and sweet. We are looking forward to our next time back! Yum!

Not a big space, but a very comfortable one. There is a small second floor as well. The tamale was great and had plenty of pork without being overstuffed. The fried taco hit the spot as well. Service was friendly and fast, but it's a place I could see being super packed during peak times. We went on a Sunday around 2. There were only a couple tables open.

Service was very attentive, cute spot nice decor made me feel comfortable . Food was good..

The food tasted amazing and their service was really great. This was our second time and we definitely will be back for more.

I am very let down, l never go out to eat so this was a treat for me......except it wasn't. The food was so bland, my husband's food was so greasy that he got a stomachache after eating one taco. I give honest reviews, my opinion. But for $60 l was really hoping for better, service was mediocre, man l am so unhappy with this whole thing. Makes me not want to try new places. Sincerely upset. The bean dip was just refried beans popped in the middle of yellow cheese sauce, the breakfast burrito had no flavor at all. And the tacos were floppy and greasy, I'm pretty sure they were supposed to be crunchy so you could dip them into the sauce. Overall horrible food, horrible experience. I will never return and I will never recommend.

Being from LA I have a pretty high standard for Mexican cuisine. I love the food and hate it if it's done wrong! Flora is tasty and good. The portions are respectable though I did take away they seemed to have a chill vibe!

I'm so happy this place opened in the downtown area as a socal girlie! Much needed where you feel the love in the food. So so good. The ambiance is so pretty and feels like a home away from home. Most definitely recommend for families, girls brunch, dates etc. Our server Alondra was super kind and attentive as well! Come support and eat some good Mexican food!

Great vibes , atmosphere, and food! Nice date spot. Service was quick and food came out really quick!

food is amazing and so is the coffee. Sara was our server and was very helpful and made our experience awesome!

Had the pleasure of trying out Flora Cafe this weekend and I was overall satisfied with my experience. The Abuelita Chai was my favorite item and surpassed my expectations. The Loaded Nachos were delicious, not soggy, and generously coated with toppings and the protein we added. The Sope was your typical Sope, not super dense and enjoyable. I added the salsas provided to add some more flavor. The Enchilada plate is better than most Mexican spots in my opinion but the red sauce lacked some flavoring for my personal preference. I did relatively enjoy the cheese, creama, and onions they used to top them off. Finally, the chimichanga is a larger portion size, satisfactory, and the carne asada was good. The service was great, our server was very attentive and accommodating. The aesthetic of the restaurant was beautiful, really loved the dish ware.

Service and food lacked. Definitely not authentic Mexican as advertised. Maybe after a few months if still open we will try again. Servers seemed lost and unorganized as with many new restaurants.

Great margaritas and enchiladas! The bit of heat in the green sauce was amazing! Service was fantastic & a nice pleasant environment to dine in.

Way overpriced food for the lack of ambience (mismatched booths and tables) and poor quality of service.

Chilaquiles we're amazing with the horchata latte . Staff was super friendly as well.

Our server Alondra was wonderful and so pleasant. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was great! Will definitely be back!
