I was exhausted. I had no appetite. I'd just flown in from a family funeral, and my boyfriend had picked me up at Hobby Airport. It was almost midnight. I didn't think I could eat a thing, but I needed to eat.\r

Then, Spanish Flowers reared its pretty white-red-green-black always-lit sign, and I started thinking maybe, just maybe, I could finally eat something after a few days of hardly eating. We went inside, I ordered chicken enchiladas, my love got a beer, and suddenly I could talk about my trip. The food was warm and nurturing, like a good mother. Like a good mother who's available 24 hours a day, and isn't too expensive. Like a good mother who gives you chips and tasty salsa while you wait. Like a good mother who sends out a waiter who can speak and understand English when the first waiter doesn't understand you. Like a good mother who understands that people who speak only English love her food, too, and want to feel comfortable there.\r

Spanish Flowers, you are a good mother to me.
Pros: open 24 hours, food tastes good
Cons: it could be a little cheaper, but you also get what you pay for
