Based on the previous 5 star reviews...that this "Tex-Mex"
restaurant has been awarded. I had to check it out for myself...and
INDEED this restaurant deserves 5 stars!!! The one "four"
star rating they received...must have come from a tough critic...
because their service was AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Incredibly
AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The reason I want to put my "two cents" in...is because this
restaurant blows other Tex-Mex restaurants out of the park...per
"bang" for the buck! The "one-liner" reviews
that they have received so far...does not do them any justice! Sorry
about that my fellow yelpers...but when you can go some place and get...good
quality food and service at the same time??? Well...it's worth
giving an "EXTENDED" BIG YELP version about it!!!!!!!
Starting with the name..."Spanish Flowers" is such a cool
name for a restaurant anyway... The name kind of draws you in...and
beckons you to check the place out! It's also...one of the few...if
not the only..."Tex-Mex" restaurant that is open "24"
hours...with the exception of Tuesday...which is an odd day to shut
down for a few hours...if you ask me???
And let me tell you...this is a happy group of folks! I don't know
if there was something in the water that day? Or they all took a "happy"
pill!!! But they were buzzin' and steppin' to a beat...throughout
the entire evening! Their service is "second-to-none"...compared
to the average restaurant you might frequent!
Another feature that makes this restaurant very welcoming...is that
their entrees come with a complimentary light soup and a slice of fresh
fruit. Not something that you would see in most "Tex-Mex"
restaurants. Very unique to say the least.
Another selling point to the meal...is this... I understand why this
restaurant does a lot of business and the patrons don't seem to
know when..."enough is enough"...no matter how much damage
it does to their purse strings! This restaurant...continually brings
out...very scrumptious tasting...soft flour tortillas...freshly
baked...right out of the oven... throughout your entire meal! Just
when you think...that you can't stuff your face...with anything
else!!! Out comes more of those incredible tortillas...and well...you're
a gonner...captured...like a trapped fish...waiting to be scaled...fried
up and served for dinner...hook...line...and sinker!
Though some of you might not consider this to be the best "Tex-Mex"
restaurant around??? I have to say...that for an average dinner tab...of
around $10 bucks per person...and the friendly and prompt service....along
with those fresh baked tortillas... you really can't help but...to
give this restaurant a rating of 5!!!

Sonic - radio active burgers!!! Utilizing their products...by relating
to sound waves... having a frequency...within the audibility range
of the human ear!
Now...I ordered me a 'Texas Toast Bacon Cheese Burger"...(that's
a mouth full in itself)...with an order of fries and a coke with grenadine!
The use of waves and vibrations...while consuming with vexation...the
material consisting essentially of protein...are sliding between
the hard bony appendages...that are borne on the jaws... and many of
the lower vertebrates...as well as other bones...in the walls of the
pharynx and served especially...for the prehension and mastication
of food and as weapons of offense and defense...as well as...any of
the various...usually...hard and sharp processes...especially...about
the mouth of an invertebrate.
What the human body goes through...just to eat a burger!!! Is there
any cause of astonishment...at something awesomely...mysterious
and new...to one's experience... about a number representing
the intrinsic and apparent brightness...of a celestial body on a logarithmic
scale...in which an increase of one unit...corresponds to a reduction
in the brightness of light by a factor??? And right now...you are probably
saying... What the "flippin" hoot...is this over deviating
from conventional and accepted usage of conduct...especially in
odd and whimsical ways...trying to friggin" say to us???
I honestly...don't know...myself??? I just say...what comes
out of this organized conscious...and unconscious...adaptive...mental
activity of an organism...called the mind! It's just the way...I
exercise the powers of judgment...conception...and inference of
my mental reflections!
Returning back to the "Sonic" hemisphere... I like the
fact...that you get your inorganic substances...absorbed by plants...in
gaseous form or in water solution...called food... from an environment
that looks like a drive-in. It's quick and easy...with little...to
no waiting period. The servers are "always" really friendly...and
I tend to tip them pretty good...because I know...it must be oppressive
at times...having to go out...into all those positive and negative
changes...in the value of one...or more set of variables in the weather...just
to deliver a customers order!!!
When Sonic first came on the scene...I remember...that the wait staff...had
to come out to the customer's car first...to get their orders...then
return back...to deliver them! At one time...they wore roller skates
and you really did think...that you were doing a rehearsal scene from
that "50's" sitcom..."Happy Days!!!"
Sunday...Monday...Happy Days!!! Tuesday...Wednesday...Happy
Days!!! Thursday... Friday...Happy Days!!! The weekend comes...my
cycle hums... Ready to race to you!!!
These days are ours... Happy and free... (Oh Happy Days)
These days are ours... Share them with me... (Oh Baby)
Goodbye gray skies!!! Hello Blue!!! 'Cause...nothing can hold
me...when I hold you!!! (This juicy burger...dripping with numerous...saturated...aliphatic...monocarboxylic
acids...including many...that occur naturally...usually in the
form of esters in fats... waxes...and essential oils!) Feels so right...it
can't be wrong!!! Rockin' and Rollin' all week long!!!
Eating these "radio active" burgers...at this venue called
"Sonic"...has spawned some illogical and senseless...metaphors...into
my psyche! I guess...the property possessed by some elements...as
uranium and isotopes...of spontaneously... emitting...energetic
particles...as well as...electrons...alpha particles...by the
disintegration of their atomic nuclei...and the rays emitted...must
have melted my brain...
Yep!!! You can bet...that this "chick"...will be racing
back for more!!!

This place is like a "hole" in the wall! And when I say..."hole"
in the wall...there is no exaggeration made here! The physical magnitude
of this building...is an approximately 15 X15 size storage unit. They
utilized every inch of this space...and crammed it with every health
food item and vitamin that you can think of!
It's located in a small strip mall...right off of Sawdust Road...near
the Woodlands. Just perusing the area...you would probably let this
place slip by you...time and time again. The reason...is that there
are other business locales sitting in front of it. Even...after as
many times as I have patronized this place...I still forget to stop
by and pick something up...that I ordered. I would go by it and then realize...hmmm???
I just passed this place...and then tell myself...that I would pick
it up later and "later"...might be a week or two down the
road. If the truth be told...there would be times...that I would get
in my car...to deliberately go pick up my order and by the time...I got
to the area...I would forget what I was doing...get side tracked and
end up somewhere else!!! Often wondering why I was in the area??? Usually...I
would look around to see if anything rings a bell...to sort of "jog"
my memory and because this place...is unseen through the naked eye...stuck
back in the corner...I wouldn't be able to re-collect anything...
The only reason...that I found this place in the first place...was
because a client of mine...happened to own a Japanese Sushi Restaurant...right
next door and I was so intrigued...that I had to check this place out!
Sadly...the Japanese Restaurant is no longer there...(probably
due to the fact...you couldn't see the place...tucked way back...in
the back)...but this health food store...is still plugging away!
It's very much managed...like a "mom and pop" shop
and run (only) by the owner of the company and his momma! (Literally)
What you will find here...that you won't find in a larger health
food chain...is that...this owner...will move "heaven and
earth" to find you what you need! Many times...when I was visiting
family and friends in Florida... I would purchase something...that
I liked in a health food store. Then...when I returned home...I would
sometimes have a "dickens" of a time...locating the item
here...in the Houston area. All it would take on my part...was to let
this owner know what I needed...and if he didn't carry it...he
would hop on the phone with one of his suppliers and would find it for
me! Never charging me anything more and sometimes...even charging
me a little less! Try getting a huge chain store to do that for you???!!!
It would be easier...and about the equivalent...of having all your
teeth pulled by a pair of pliers!!!
This place might not win any awards...for the most attract venue out
there...but there is something to be said...for old "hometown"
business...and the great customer service you would be getting!

If you like Thai food...there is no deficit of good...material consisting
essentially of protein...carbohydrate...and fat...inorganic
substances here! The atmosphere is not "supercilious"...but
the service is exceptionally...superior...to the bone...with little...to
no waiting period.
Where you get your "extraordinary and improbable" experience...is
in the food. While you are waiting for your "principal meal of
the day"...there are two...saltwater aquariums for you to peruse.
If you are looking for a suitable...appetizing starter...before
the main course...try their crispy spring rolls. Even though they
are deep fried...they have a nice "vivid...fresh" taste
to them.
The main entrees...consist of chicken...pork...and shrimp...served
with vegetables...like their popular Garlic Curry with Chicken!
Ohhhh!!! Sinfully delicious! All of their entrees are very attractive
to the eye and engaging to eat!
One note...many of their items...have a slightly sweet taste to them.
This is "par" for the course! So...if you are not used to
sweet flavors "jumping" at you...during your main course...you
might think...that someone reached for the sugar...instead of the
salt!
If you can get past the unpleasant "blah"...decor...you
will have a nice treat...awaiting your taste pallet!

Accompanied with a side order of starch sticks...deep fried in a "fat

colored carbonated liquid...immersed with enough sweet crystallizable
sucrose that can deteriorate the teeth...of the entire Dallas Cowboy
football team!!!
Enough of these meals...will definitely put you at the front of the
line...to visit Saint Peter at the "pearly" gates. Don't

I have to give this place 5 stars!!! 5 stars!!! 5 stars!!!
I decided to visit the Colonial last night during the Christmas holidays...right
up the street from my crib... I like my chicken "extra" crispy!!!
I pull up to the parking place...get out of my car and walk in. I get in
line behind this guy and start looking at the menu... Well...this other
guy comes in after me...and pretends he doesn't see me... I am looking
at him...with this...like...look in my eyes...wanting to say...
"You are not going to do...what I think you are about to do...are
you???"
Well...he did... I was next in line and he scooted himself right up in
front of me and pretended the girl at the counter was his "long"
lost friend and started chit-chatting... He already...scooted his
little scrawny...boney...ugly...butt in front of me...(so much
for "chivalry")...now...he is taking up my time...with
a bunch of useless...non-sense..."chit-chat"...
Well...I decided...to let it be...after all...we are in the holiday
season...we should wish all men..."good will"...even
if you think...they ain't no good...right? Well...it's
easier said... than done! So...I keep my cool on the outside...while
there is a "pilot light" wanting to start a roaring flame...on
the inside!!!
I'm up next...which really should have been him...instead of
me! I would have been on my way home...but ooooh...nooooooo!!! I'm
standing there giving my order...while this twerp...is chopping
down on his grub! Okay now...Teresa T...keep your cool...breathe...
you can do it...yes you can...I know you can... Uuhh??? I think you can...
So...I start to place my order and began to tell the clerk...what that
"Bozo" did to me...(in a nice way...of course...) She began
to apologize and let me know...that I should have said something! I
told her that it wasn't her fault and after all...he had already
given her his order and I wasn't going to make her cancel it. It would
have been too much work for her.
Well...let me tell you...this is when the Christmas Spirit...began
to kick in!!! The general manager...overheard me telling the clerk...what
had happened and well...she decided... that she was going to make up
for all that this "chump" did to me!
I originally...wanted to order a two-piece meal...with white meat!
Plus an extra side of slaw! It would have come to about $7.59... Instead...the
manager came over...took out a BIG bucket...placed 5 breasts and 2
wings in there. Gave me 5 biscuits...with butter and honey...an extra
large tub of mash potatoes and gravy...and she didn't even charge
me for the slaw!!! This meal should have come to about $23.00...and
I only paid... $7.59!!!
I told them...that I wasn't asking for anything free...they didn't
do anything wrong!!! She said...that's okay...what happened
to you was unkind and unfair and well...we "women" have
to stick together!!! Have a Merry Christmas!!!
Moral of the story..."Men Are From Mars...Women Are From Venus!"
