Flor De Izote: Reviews & Ratings
Probably one of the few Salvadorian restaurants I really enjoy going to. I’ve had a little bit of everything already from their menus. Food is always fresh, only downside it does take a little longer to receive. My favorite dish from here is their Salpicon. Minced meat with mint, radish and seasonings. It’s has a hing of ting to it. They have agua frescas, my go to has always been Jamaica not overall sweet - just right. Wednesday’s they have $1 pupusas, they are on the smaller size than your average. Food is there now my only complaint is their waitress. I’ve met their owner and she is super sweet. The waitress just seems bothered each time I walk in there. No smile, not welcoming whatsoever. As if she doesn’t enjoy her job, unfortunately this has occurred multiple times. Overall, good quality is there. Clean establishment, dim lights and soft music.
Went in today 3-1-23 for lunch, and the food was epic! Delicious, housemaids Salvadoran food! The owner was very kind and attentive! Will be back to try more of their menu!!!! Carne asada Pollo Parilla
One of my favorites spots here in Houston, love the atmosphere, food has great flavor and always fresh, prices are fair. Service is great. I recommend this to anyone. I had a Plato típico good serving portions.
We recently ate here. Food was delicious! I don't know what magic they put in those beans but I wanted to clean out that bowl for every ounce that was in there. Staff was friendly and attentive. I will definitely be back.
Flor De Izote had me at the name, and kept me with the food... this diamond in the rough is as authentic and beautiful as it can be, especially on the inside. This place is what it needs to be and I hope to never see it change, it brings me back to the nicer places of El Salvador where I remember taking the family out to see for some good food and scenery. I feel like the guy from Ratatouille lol definitely enchanted. First impressions matter! Will be back for sure
A couple of time visiting now and my favorite has been the Caldo de pollo. I appreciate that they offer the chicken in the caldo or fried bothis good.
Good food, not a crowded place. Only one waitress who does it all though. The prices are just like any other place. Not a big menu but that's ok because we go for the pupusas.
Food was on point . To those like me that like pupusas well done toasted (a little burnt edges) this is the spot not to greasy. The food had authentic taste and the service was also welcoming not to busy but good food takes a little time so 15 min wait for food is not a long wait.
