Casa Flores

What happened?
After living in Southern California for four years, my family was excited to place an order at one of our former (past tense) favorite Mexican restaurants. Boy, were we in for an unfortunate surprise! First, the prices on the website menu did not match the prices we were charged for our meal, portions were small, and food was cold. Second, when the order was brought home, it was short by two items. I called, explained the situation, was put on hold, and then told that there was nothing that they could do. I reiterated that I PAID for the two items and I deserved what I paid for. i was then put on hold for 15 minutes and finally told that the missing items would be ready in 20 minutes. Are you kidding? 20 minutes for a beef quesadilla and a side of Chile Colorado (undoubtedly already made). Forget it! What a shame! I will not make the same mistake again and neither should you!

This place is awesome. Their food is really good. Better than any other Casa Flores in Stockton. Guaranteed to come back often. My husband loved it and that really says a lot.

I’m gonna put this in the nicest way possible… The food was absolutely DISGUSTING. First time buying food at this location, and I was appalled how gross everything tasted. We put in a very big order ($ 60+) for take-out,…The chicken was soO dried, it was even hard to shred. There were hard carne asada meat in the burrito that it took forever to chew. The rice had a weird scent to it, and the beans were bland. The tortillas weren’t fresh, it looked like store-​bought rather than homemade. Overall, this place is not authentic Mexican food, it was just a mess on a plate. Won’t be coming here again, and I do not recommend this place at all. Maybe it was just a bad meal, but when you’re spending $ 60+, I expect greater food service. Very disappointed – we all gave it to our dogs to eat. Save your money, take it to a REAL authentic restaurant… NENAS

First the good:
Very nice atmosphere, everything was clean and well maintained. Nice view out of the windows. Very friendly and nice staff.
The bad:
The beans in all the dishes were dry as hell, probably because our plates were 900° from sitting under the lamps forever. The carne asada tasted like a leather belt, dry as hell, and no flavor. The piece under the top piece was juicy however, still lacked flavor though. Even the rice was stale and dry. If you want good Mexican food, go to Señor Frogs or Casa Flores in Brookside.

I absolutely love this gem of a Mexican restaurant!!! As soon as you walk in you feel like you are about to have a wonderful meal with family and if you decide to sit at the bar and meet some of the regular guests who are part of this «family» who are there not just 1 or 2 days a week but sometimes 5 or 6 you will understand what I mean… first off, that speaks volume and shows their love for this place. Now whenever I am in Stockton for work (I live in San Jose) I will always make sure to come here because the food is absolutely delicious and as the other reviewers have said not the typical Mexican flavor… feels more authentic with a twist. But it’s also not just about the food that makes it so special but thanks to the warm inviting ambiance, friendliness of the staff and most importantly the love and dedication of the Chef/​Owner who’s known by everyone as Papa Juan that will have me coming back whenever I can!!! Definitely do not miss this place if you are in the area!!!

This is the most hospitable restaurant you will ever go to. I really don’t want them to be busier, but it is a very HAP-​py place with a great can-​TINA. Thanks to Juan, Octavio, Blanca, Janine, Rachael, Blanca2, Mikayel (the cook), and all the bus people and dishwasvhers and everyone for making this place a VERY HAP-​py Can-​TINA with GREAT FOOD !!! AND MARGARITA MARGARITAS !!! LOVE THIS PLACE !!!

Never had a bad meal or experience at this great Mexican restaurant. Kudos to the waitress staff especially Blanca K. who go over and above to make the restaurant experience superior.

I’ve been to a lot of Mexican restaurants and this place by far is the best I’ve had! Their food doesn’t have your typical can taste. Our waitress BLANCA was an absolute joy to be served by. She wasn’t your average server what so ever. She took time out to chat & joke every time she came to our table. My husband and I have finally found our favorite Mexican restaurant!!!

The worst service I’ve ever experienced. It was my birthday and our server couldn’t even get me my drink out for twenty minutes. I will not be back, this staff needs to learn how to do their job better and to pay attention to their customers

Excellent, fast service. The food was delicious. Definitely a place to stop to eat or for take out. We will be back again!

This is a favorite of many of my friends, so I go here frequently and have been since it opened. It has become my favorite! The food is exceptional and the service is great. The owner is gracious, kind and dedicated to making his resteraunt the best. His story of hard work and working hard on his education. Before opening a resteraunt is wonderful and what makes Stockton a beautiful place to be. His story and the success of the Casa Flores restaurants is Stockton at it finest!!!

I’m new in town and really wanted a good, mexican-​style wet burrito. I put in a phone order here and my husband brought it to me.
Well, let me tell you: I just had a «wet burrito» from here and it was disgusting. Waaayyy overpriced too.
I asked for grilled chicken and since I had never been there and I was calling in the order from work I verified that the sauce that it is drenched in was the red chile sauce along with drizzles of sour cream, avocado and cheese, I was told yes — this is not what I received. I received shredded chicken in the burrito; on top was melted white cheese, a big glob of sour cream, and a red gravy sauce! Who the heck puts GRAVY on a wet burrito?! DISGUSTING! I specifically asked if it was the red chili sauce and the woman said yes.
Never again will I go here!!! EVER!!!

Great place to eat. love coming and eating in and the food is always fresh, come in and enjoy some mexican food and enjoy the wonderful service

I live less than two miles away, so if I go out to eat, 90% of the time you’ll find me at the Casa Flores Marina location. After all of my years eating here, just a few weeks ago I finally tried their brunch… I didn’t know I could love this place even more! The buffet was amazing (and I’m a picky eater), there were plenty of options and the service was excellent!
Also, I’ve had it catered a few times, the most recent being my Aunt’s funeral, and they were great to work with and made everything so easy. The price came down to about $ 10.00 a person and it was more than what we needed.

I am beyond furious with the owner of this restaurant! I am 4 months pregnant and I was enjoying lunch with my husband today out on their patio and when I leaned forward to eat, the back of my chair collapsed. My husband and our friend caught me before I hit the ground. We looked at the chair and the legs were held to the back of the chair with TAPE! Not duct tape… Clear, flimsy, 99 cent store tape. After that, our friends and we started looking at other chairs on the patio and they were held together with tape too! At least 4 other chairs. Clearly if the food doesn’t kill you, the furniture might…
I went to the owner to let him know what happened and he was so rude! I asked him if that has happened to anyone else before trying to give him the benefit of the doubt and he was like, «yeah, so?»
So?!? So I simply wanted an apology and to know that they would fix their furniture and he refused to apologize. His only response was «You’re not hurt so, what do you want?» This guy does not deserve our business, or anyone else’s. He’s got a lot to learn about customer service!
The food was subpar, not worth the money we spent, but the nail in the coffin was the way this jerk treated me when a genuine concern was brought to his attention. Trust, he’ll be hearing from my attorney.

We often stop here for dinner because it is close to my boat @ Village West Marina & the food is good. They have top shelf liquor, but I always have a Bohemia beer which I acquired a taste for while living in El Paso, Texas. I also enjoyed it in Juarez, Mex. when it was safe to go there.
I especially like the Chili Relleno & Cheese enchiladas. My wife likes their chicken enchilada & a tamale.
Our waitress, Myriam, did an excellent job making everything perfect. We will continue enjoying the food & pleasant atmosphere when in Stockton.

Ate dinner here last night and I have just one thing to say… EXCELLENT! We were seated right away. My house margarita was served just the way I like it — up with no salt — and delicious. We both tried the asparagus special. Mine was with chicken and my friend one of the other choices. Asparagus enchilada with meat topped with asparagus and tomatillos sauce. Perfect in every way. What a wonderful meal and great attentive service. Thank you Casa Flores Marina.

This is my least favorite Casa Flores and I hate cause it it right by my house.
The rice is always horrible! I mean gross!
They say that the tortillas are home made but that is a lie. I have NEVER seen a home made tortilla that is a perfect circle.
The bar is right in the middle and it is awkward. There is a back room that they should have made the bar. When people are getting a little too tipsy, it makes for a bad experience for the rest of the customers. They are loud and out of control right next to the diners that are there with their families.
Prices are too high for food that is under par. I would much rather drive farther away from my house to get better quality food.
They do however, have a banner hanging that says you can buy 5 $ 20 gift cards for $ 80. That is a deal in a half in my opinion.

Good place to get a bite to eat. Been here a few times and have always enjoyed the food. First time was for a birthday and they rented out the back room and had a buffet style dinner. Came here today with the family and had a good meal. Everyone enjoyed their food. Waitress was very friendly and attentive. They were very accommodating for me with changing some menu items to vegetarian. My husband LOVES the chile colorado here. Good place to catch a game as well, tvs positioned all over the restaurant, and they have a nice bar.

Please ignore any of the folks who gave this place 5 stars, which means «as good as it gets.» Are you friggin’ KIDDING ME?! They are either shills, or they should turn their taste buds in and get new ones.
This place is dedicated to mediocre or worse Mexican food. Taste, temperature, or time… they perform poorly on all of them. I’ve had enough of their luke warm enchiladas and soggy tacos. I thought I found away around their bad food by ordering just cheese dishes (e.g. chile relleno and chicken quesadilla). No way Jose! These folks put shredded lettuce in the quesadilla just to make it soupy for me. What are they thinking?!
I’d give it one star, but the bar is ok (and who doesn’t like bars) and the place is clean. With all the better Mexican food options in town, I’m not sure why anyone would want to eat there (except its location).
