I heard good things about this place a few years back. The building isnt the nicest, nor the area, but the food was fantastic. The service was good. Im no expert on Peruvian food - but there was not one thing I had that I wouldnt eat again. I went with a friend that is more in tune with this food (living in LI and working in Manhattan) - and he said he is definitely going back with his wife who is Brazilian - so I take it they hit a spot with him. The Enchiladas were excellent - although a little different from what I am used to. Some people use bland to describe this place, but it just wasnt spicy like most "Mexican" joints. A lot of things had a sweet peppery taste rather than the spicy hot. I didnt think it was bland at all, it really just excited a different part of the palate. Dont expect world class service or dining experience - this is a local joint serving great food at great prices. Warning though: the food looks much smaller in the pictures on the menu. We ordered a good variety of food and it filled the whole table. Even the appetizers were of good portion. I am giving it 5 stars based on the food alone.

The food was good, the prices were excellent. The server wasnt exactly warm to us, but she wasnt exactly rude either. Food came out in a staggered order seeming without rhyme or reason, but that was fine because we were sharing everything anyway. The Latin American dishes were good and fantastically cheap. Id recommend stopping in if youre in the area. I was expecting more flavor out of Peruvian food, but I have no basis for that expectation. The pork over yuca was essentially bland, but tasty because it was fried. The enchilada was fantastic, with lots of chicken and good spicing and toppings. I had a papusa, which was tasty and very cheap. Service was quick, and I was definitely happy with the overall experience.

Recently my wife, who is a Salvadoran, has been craving pupusas. The problem is that Salvadoran restaurants are few and far between in upstate new york. A random desperate google search led to an hour long drive to Flores Family Restaurant. We were not disappointed and will be making the drive again in the near future. The prices were good and the food great. We highly recommend the pupusas and the chicken tamales. If Flores restaurant were closer we would be there every week.

The only part I liked about here were the pupusas and the orchata. Besides that TERRIBLE. Service was really disappointing. Seems like u bothering for just being there. Ordered a sopa de res and it was the most disgusting soup I have ever got, sour, not a good taste at all. Chicharron con Yuca oily, kinda burn, oil taste old. Just not a good experience. And to be treated the way u are treated here then might as well not go at all.

A real treat if youre looking for Authentic South American Food. Great portions and the service is phenomenal. If youre looking for flavor, try this family owned restaurant rather than any of the spanish or mexican restaurants in Albany or Colonie! A real gem for those with discerning tastes!

The last time me and some friends went the food was alright, the appropriate dinnerware wasnt provided, the woman that served us wasnt exactly friendly and we had to keep requesting items we hadnt received with our first order.

Food is spectacular. Epinadas and tamales are the best I have had.
