Our Story
Rooted in Tradition
Taqueria Flores began with a simple recipe passed down through generations. Our grandmother Elena's kitchen in the volcanic highlands of Michoacán, Mexico, was always filled with the aroma of roasting chilies, fresh hand-pressed masa, and slow-simmering meats. We brought those exact secret family recipes to Benson, NC.
Every corn tortilla is pressed by hand daily, our dynamic salsas are crafted from scratch, and we slow-cook our meats to savory perfection using traditional copper pots. It's not just food; it's a vibrant, delicious celebration of our family heritage.
Handmade Masa
We grind our corn kernels using volcanic stone metates, preserving the authentic fiber, density, and natural warmth of traditional tortillas.
Wood-Fired Heat
Our marinades feature dried chile guajillo and achiote, yielding rich volcanic orange hues that stimulate appetite and capture true wood-fired warmth.
Slow Copper Cook
Grandma Elena always insisted on slow-simmering carnitas inside massive hammered copper cauldrons to lock in intense savory juices.
