Stopped in for dinner right after work, the service was quick, and the food was delicious! Super convenient for happy hour and not crazy busy so we could take our time! We also got to pick where we sat which was so nice! Definitely will be returning for happy hours and dinner in the future! read more

Had a great time eating dinner here! El sabor has outdoor and indoor seating. The tables indoor are high tops and there is also bar seating. The restaurant was a little small but we had no wait when we went to eat on a Saturday night. The menu has a lot of different Mexican food options. I had the carne asada tacos Tijuana style and they were delicious! If you were indecisive, they had a dinner combination option were you could get two entrees and two sides which is nice! They also had a daily special which was the chicken tamale. The waitstaff was very friendly! Our waiter was helpful recommending different appetizers for us. We just went with chips and salsa. There were various summer drinks and we tried the watermelon margarita which was great! read more

Absolutely delicious! Went to dinner last night while visiting Pittsburgh. I had the combo of chile relleno with mushrooms and the plantano relleno with steak. Both so so so good. Bonnie's service was exceptional! We will definitely be back next time we're in town. read more

It was our first time here and we will definitely be coming back because it was fantastic. We ordered the guacamole as our appetizer and our first reaction was it was a very small portion. It was incredibly great, but small. It wasn't until the table next to us got their that we realized we messed up and ordered the smaller size! The dinner combo was the perfect way to explore the menu, if you don't try the Plantano Relleno you are missing out it's phenomenal! read more

Definitely awesome food served here! There are quite a few vegan options, and a plethora of vegetarian options as well (but you'll be happy as a meat-eater too, so it's great for nearly any diet). The prices are on the high end, but the quality of the food is excellent. I ordered the Baja Burrito (protein choice of carnitas, with yuca fries and sweet plantains as sides) which was a Plato Fuerto, a tres leches, and a Pineapple Jarritos soda. I loved the burrito. There were so numerous delicious sauces served with it (3). I especially liked the slightly sweeter and creamy orange/red sauce, and it went perfectly with the yuca fries. The white sauce is very creamy and almost queso like, but still delicious. The bright red sauce is a bit spicier and more tomatoey. The burrito size is medium, so bit pricey at $16. Still. I think it's worth it. There is a fair amount of meat inside, and the carnitas were delicious and perfectly cooked. Great balance of cheese, rice, beans, and other stuffings. Not many vegetables inside, though. The tres leches was very tasty as well. A bit on the smaller side, and somewhat expensive too. It has a nice topping of whipped cream on top, and there is an adequate amount of moistness and it's overall a nice cake. The sides were simply delicious. The yuca fries were similar to French fries, but a bit more chalky in texture. They were paired well with numerous of the sauces, especially the orange one. The sweet plantains were also very good. I especially enjoyed the smaller more well looked pieces, as they tended to be sweeter. Not the best plantains I've had in Pittsburgh, but still great. The Jarritos soda is unique and refreshing. They are offered at most Mexican places, and the price is reasonable. It's made with real cane sugar, not high fructose corn syrup. These bottles require a bottle opener, though. All in all, I definitely recommend this place if you would like some high quality Mexican food in Pittsburgh. It is a fantastic place to visit if you are vegan or vegetarian (they even have a vegan pineapple coconut cake). A bit on the expensive side, but worth it! read more

tl;dr: Easy place to grab a bite but don't expect the most flavorful or best Mexican food/drink in town --- We had a Groupon to this place and always drive by it so decided to stop in. Surprisingly busy for a weekday night. We sat at the bar and had relatively quick service. I got a mezcal marg which was the drink of the day. It was pretty subpar and overwhelmingly salty which was disappointing. We ordered the fresh guac which took really really long to come out. For $15, I was expecting more guac than we got but it was tasty which was a plus. The chips were served cold which caught us off guard for a "fresh" appetizer. My partner got the fajitas which she said was good but nothing special. I ordered the Pick 2 Dinner which was a good deal. The tortilla soup was again tasty but nothing special. The burrito and enchilada didn't really have much flavor in my opinion. Moreso tasted the sauce on them which didn't really taste like much. Nothing tasted bad. It just wasn't anything unique or special. We've definitely had better burritos and tacos and margs in town. So, I was glad that we had the Groupon to try it out but likely will not be returning. read more

For a place that literally just opened, things seem to be moving smoothly during this restaurant take-out only phase of the pandemic. Shared a lunch special with my boyfriend. The food was really good. We had a taco, quesadilla, rice and a drink for $10.99. Also added a side of street corn. The flavors were good, the food was fresh and it's definitely a welcome addition to the neighborhood. The Tijuana style tacos with corn shell, cabbage and queso is the way to go. They also have a Pittsburgh style with a flor tortilla, lettuce and cheese. The seasoning of the meat is original and tasty. read more

Chimichanga beef is so good, the salad it comes with is okay could be better. The rice is pretty good. The beef has a great flavor and so does the cheese on top of the chimichanga. read more

El Sabor Latin Kitchen - Chimichanga - Lunch Special - Mexican Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

We first tried El Sabor for takeout when they first opened during quarantine. My boyfriend and I raved about their lunch special. I got the shrimp tacos with rice and beans, and the portion size was perfect for lunch. The price was also super reasonable. We went on a nice day recently to sit outside and have margaritas. My mezcal marg and my boyfriend's blood orange margarita were delicious! We got chips, salsa, and queso to snack on. My only complaint is that it took a very long time. We were one of the only people outside, but our waiter must have been one of the only ones for inside and outside. He apologized for the wait. Our chips and salsa came before our waters so we had to wait to eat it since the salsa was spicy. Overall we enjoyed sitting in the sun, and the drinks were great. We will definitely be back for dinner soon! read more

I've been meaning to come to El Sabor for so long and I finally got around to it yesterday! I came with a friend for dinner and drinks after work and we had a great time! The margaritas and the tacos especially were so good!! The menu labeled which items could be made vegan which I appreciate so much. More places need to do this! I got the vegan tofu tacos and chips and guac. Everything was great and I really loved the vibe of El Sabor as well. Worth checking out! read more

Fresh guacamole is absolutely a reason to come here in and of itself. Other food is great too but it's amazing.

I visited El Sabor sporadically for dinner and I can't believe how much I've been missing out having never been there before. The food and margaritas are absolutely delicious! I had the dinner platter with veg tortilla soup, cheese enchilada, retried beans, and a tofu quesadilla. Everything's was so good but the quesadilla was the standout - the cheese & spices made it so delicious. I also have to shout out the margaritas - I'm pretty picky when it comes to margs but the taste/sweetness was absolutely perfect and didn't taste like a pre-mixed cocktail like so many do. Can't wait to go back! read more

SOOOOO delicious! We had the lentil soup, baby arugula salad which came with pink grapefruit strips on top, spinach borek, and marinated baby lamb chops. Everything was fabulous, especially the homemade bread. We topped things off with Turkish tea and pistachio baklava. They should have their liquor license very soon. We wish this new restaurant on Penn Avenue much success! read more

I was craving queso so i found this place on my roadtrip! I forgot to take a picture of the chips, queso & Gaucamole it was 8/10. The guac was fresh, but the cheese was really runny. I also ordered the chicken fajitas, they were good! the beans had a lil spice to them which was definitely yummy, the rice was a good consistency. The tortillas were SOO good! i ate a whole portion of those & they were my favorite. read more

Lunch, take out review. The platanos rellenos was very good. Portion size was great, and the meal was fresh and full of flavor. Honestly, it was some of the best Latin food I have ever had. My coworkers ordered several other menu items, all of which they said were good and flavorful. Compared to my meal, their portion sizes were not comparable to what I had. My platanos rellenos was not on the lunch menu, which is why I think the portion sizes were way off. The restaurant was cool, and it looks like it would be a fun spot to hang out for happy hour. Unfortunately, we ordered two soft drinks and they were not included in our take out order ($6 for two drinks) - I should have noticed, and mentioned this before leaving but did not realize I was missing them until I had already left. read more

The food was incredible. I loved the salsa Verde so much that I ordered two big ToGo sides of it. Our waiter was so friendly. We live all the way in Indiana, but we will be back in Pittsburgh soon to come back to El Sabor! read more

First time here. Employees are super friendly and make you feel at ease. The food is fantastic. Drove an hour to get here and will definitely do it again sometime! Our waiter was awesome! Very nice and even though he was busy very attentive and good sense of humor. I highly recommend this place! Food was delicious! read more

The food was delicious. I had the Plátanos Rellenos, the sweeter plantains with a meat and cheese sauce. I got the ground beef. Other choices are chicken, chorizo, carnitas, tofu and steak. Absolutely fabulous! More fried sweet plantains and street corn (elotes) on the side. Fantastic! I had the Mezcal Margarita, which was yummy too! We sat outside, the weather was wonderful in May. A little slow on the drinks but it was super busy, so not too bad. I'm from Texas and half Peruvian and I give this place two thumbs up! read more

They have a lot of potential but not all dishes are good. Service is good but not heir menu is confusing- we came for lunch but they said they didn't have a lunch menu that day. It should be clear on their website. We got salads but they were pretty small and bland. read more

Excellente!!! We were able to make reservations for a party of 6 on a Saturday! The service was great, the food was delicious and the atmosphere lively! So many mouth watering choices, whatever you get is sure to satisfy. But... don't forget the fried ice cream! Will go back just for that! A plus is that the dinner was very reasonably priced! A definite home run restaurant! read more

An attempt at making everyone happy made for some poor recipes. We asked for tacos and didn't get what we ordered. It seemed like an ordeal to try and get it with the ingredients we asked (onions and cilantro??). Towards the end, the server was throwing/ dropping things off at our table. Great if you're tryna eat white Latin food, bad if you're tryna eat authentic. read more

I was inspired by pictures from here on National Margarita Day, so decided to try it (a few days late). The staff was super friendly and helpful. We were there kind of early on a Friday night and didn't have a problem finding a table. By the time we left around 7 there was a wait for sure. Margaritas were very tasty. My favorite was the spicy cucumber - it was very cucumber heavy, which I love. I had the fajitas and they were great. My husband tried the platanos rellenos and they were amazing - a dish you need to try. I was very happy with my evening there and will be back for sure. read more

I stopped by here two Saturday evenings ago with my wife for dinner. We had decided a few weeks prior that wanted to get food from El Sabor Kitchen as their menu looked good. Since the pandemic was still going on we decided to settle on takeout. The person who answered the call was super polite and for dinner on this evening We decided to start off with the chips and cheese. Then I went with a chicken chimichanga with sides of yuca fries and street corn while my wife went with the pick 2 combo and chose a chicken enchilada and a chicken plantain relleno and also chose yuca fries and street corn for her sides. We were told that it would be ready in 15 minutes and since we were about 20 minutes away we decided to leave immediately. Whenever I arrived our food was ready and I was able to take a quick look around the restaurant. The restaurant was smaller than expected, probably due to the triangle shape of the building, but it had a central bar with seating throughout the rest. It felt bright and clean and on this night it was pretty crowded inside with most of the tables being taken. Once we got home I first dug into the chimichanga. At this point it wasn't terribly crispy but that's on me due to time it took to get to the restaurant and home. The sauce outside it was nice and the whole burrito itself was filled mostly with chicken which was a nice surprise. It had a good flavor but on a couple of bites I got something that I wasn't a huge fan of. My wife also had the chicken filling and experienced the same and while I thought it tasted like cloves, which I don't like, she thought it tasted of anise. Anyways, it was only a few of the bites and so I didn't mind it too much. After finishing the chimichanga I tried the sides. The street corn was nice having a lime flavor to it while the yuca itself was kind of boring. Thankfully it came with a dipping sauce that I enjoyed due to its vinegar base. Finally after all of that was done I tried the chips and cheese. The cheese sauce here was a white sauce and it was quite good and flavorful. The chips themselves were lightly salted and weren't anything special but they didn't need to be as the cheese sauce was rightfully the star. My wife enjoyed both of her main courses and thought they were good. The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again in the future. I would definitely like to try the dishes fresh out of the kitchen and thought that their cheese sauce was good as well. read more

Love! Everyone enjoyed their margaritas and food. Very fresh and flavorful. We had a reservation and still waited for a table because this place gets busy on the weekends. We didn't mind waiting and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves! read more

I went to this place on a Friday evening (8-ish) and it had a pleasant vibe. It wasn't too crowded and we were seated immediately (last available table). We ordered a cocktail (don't remember the name) but it was too sweet. However, I can't blame El Sabor for this since the waitress had told us that it is a little sweet. The food was okay. The quesadilla was little too salty (that's why I took off a star) and the Chimichanga was very good. Overall, the food was okay and the ambiance as good. Can't really comment about drinks as we didn't try too many. I would come back again to give this place another try. read more
