I wish I got a picture of the churros there were several pieces and hot and crispy absolutely delicious! The chicken quesadilla from here is by far the best I have ever tried! The quality of the cheese and seasoning on the meat with onions and cilantro was so delicious! And they give a roasted pepper that is actually SPICY which was exactly what I was looking for! This is absolutely my favorite taco truck in Massachusetts and I would definitely travel to Springfield for it, gladly! Highly recommend.

There are a ton of holes in the wall that looks like someone had the intention of repairing and painting over and then just lost interest. Food? Looked really promising!! Burritos were pretty massive so I was pretty excited. They come out looking good, well prepared as far as the tortilla isn't coming apart. They did a good job putting together a burrito that wouldn't fall apart. But that's it. The rice is prepackaged, stale, fake yellow rice that has a weird, off putting flavor, I got carnitas and my wife got carne asada, neither tasted like anything at all. The carnitas ( a slow roasted pork ) honestly tasted like a pork tenderloin that had been thrown in a crock pot with zero seasoning. The bits in my burrito were grey and honestly off putting.

The food was delicious and the margaritas were both tasty and potent.

Over the years, I've vacationed in Mexico and worked for Big Sugar in Belle Glade, so I'm no stranger to authentic Mexican cuisine. As soon as I walked in, I was greeted with a warm smile and a friendly "¡Hola!"--spoken w passion. Luckily, I know enough conversational Spanish to keep up, and I was seated near the front of the restaurant. The colorful menu practically told me what to order: Sopa de Camarones, Birria Tacos, and a fresh Jugo de Melón (watermelon juice). The waitress was incredibly welcoming and soon returned with a basket of warm tortilla chips and three kinds of salsa. That's when I knew--I had found the real deal. One salsa was mild, the second had a medium kick, and the third--an orange one--was pure fire . I laughed to myself and thought, "Yup, this is going to be good." And it was. All three salsas were absolutely delicious. Then came the food: a steaming bowl of shrimp soup and a plate of mouthwatering birria tacos. The smell alone made my stomach growl. The shrimp broth was rich and flavorful--absolutely hypnotic. I'd order it again without hesitation. As for the tacos? I smothered them in the green salsa and devoured them so fast, it was like I was drinking them. I was that hungry--and they were that good. This was the first truly authentic Mexican meal I've had since leaving South Florida. I'll definitely be coming back.

Y'all this was the first time since I've been up here that anyone has asked if I wanted them filled!! I had truly given up on filled churros but here Sabores is giving me life. Alright, so I dig in to my tostada and it's crunchy and well topped. The only recommendation would be to add more beans to my veggie tostada. Next the chicken... y'all this chicken did not die in vain. Mmmhmm this was well seasoned and perfectly portioned, and like any respectable Mexican entree this came with homemade corn tortillas. A recommendation for my main plate would be a little more chicken bouillon (knorr - porfavor) to the rice and I would prefer my tortillas cooked a little longer (burned around the edges - trust me) and everything would be finger lickin' good. Ooooh weeeee! Ok settle down now, we're coming up to dessert -- churros. She asked "would you like them filled" and I had to ask her to repeat herself... do my ears deceive me? Did she... did she just ask me IF I would like them FILLED?!!! Oh my word! Yes! A thousand times yes, but I had to play it cool y'all (as best as I could) and I followed up with another question... "what type of fillings do y'all got?" She said they only had one and although it was not the type I had hoped for (cajeta -- obviously) I still ordered the filled and non-filled for the table. Don't play yourself though, y'all know the filled kind is the way to go. Ok so my churros arrive... can you tell which part of my order I was most excited about? Yeah, me neither... ok so my churros arrive and they are hot, they are fresh out the fryer y'all. The sugar-to-cinnamon ratio was perfectly coating every bite of that churro (both filled and non (but keep up y'all we both know which one I'm describing). The warm filling oozed out of my very last bite but as a seasoned churro connoisseur -- I was ready for it. In summation, this place was good y'all. -My name is Jackie and I approve this restaurant.

When we go out with friends or family who have restrictions, like gluten-free or vegetarian diets, it's such a relief to know they have so many options to choose from. Nobody feels left out or stuck with the same dish every time. While all of their locations share the same commitment to great food and service, the Easthampton restaurant stands out as our personal favorite. It's the easiest to get to, with plenty of parking, and the spacious layout means you never feel cramped.
