You can't really go wrong here. I'm from out of town but when I'm here I go to el sabor at least once. The food is good the service is friendly. Check the small white board for the specials next to the bar on the wall. read more

We stopped in on our way to Great Wolf Lodge with a party of eight. They sat us very quickly, drinks and food came without much of a wait or hassle. They had all the typical Mexican restaurant food which was as yummy as anywhere else. We even got a complimentary tequila shot, but don't say you heard it from me. read more

The potato taco was amazing and large- 8 inch flour tortilla. The ref ride beans were the best flavor I've had since we were in Mexico City. The also have great Horchata! read more

Brought the family here one late afternoon after a weekend at Great Wolf Lodge. Delicious food and fast service. Got shrimp chimichangas, carnitas, carne asada tacos, tamales... all great. Huge portions. Carlos waited on us. Very friendly. Great experience. read more

Used Yelp to find a good Mexican food near our soccer field when out of town for a tournament. This was GREAT! Great service, great food. You won't be disappointed. I was there with another Mom and two kids and all loved their meal. read more

Love this place. The Sangria is the best. I keep coming back for any dish that has shrimp. The shrimp salad is to die for. Service is prompt and food is priced so well! Anything you order will be great. read more

Service was friendly and helpful. Salsa was tasty. Fish Tacos were good. Hot sauce served with them was amazing. Daughter enjoyed the Chorizo quesadillas. Nothing tasted overly salted which was nice. When we come back down this way we will stop here again. read more

We chose this place based on the 5-star yelp ratings. I was very surprised by the lacklustre food we were served. We ordered from here carryout since we were spending a few days at Great Wolf Lodge and it was close. The food itself was rather standard American versions of Mexican food. Nothing that I would go out of my way to have again. The service was good and the prices were decent. I just wished that the food itself was spectacular as some of the other reviews noted. If you need something quick and easy than this is the place. If your looking for outstanding Mexican food - it is not and go else where. read more

Finally made it! We decided to come here while on route to Williamsburg for a weekend. The address given does not take you to the right place on the gps...definitely had to call and get directions! Anyway, once here we found the food quite decent...more traditional so don't expect chili's or crazy stuffed burritos and enchiladas. I got the lunch special #8, hubby had chicken enchiladas, in-laws had veggies quesadilla with pico. Good food, filling. We also got a 32oz of Modelo for 5.99! We ended up sharing between 3ppl! The whole bill came out to around $39! Honestly, pretty decent food for the price. It's an out of the way location across from a go cart place...would definitely consider coming again next time we're in the area :) read more

Ordered the shrimp fajitas and they were delicious. Very flavorful. Nice low key restaurant.

Great menu and even better prices. You will not find a friendlier or more welcoming staff in all of Virginia. Oh, and important to note, their margaritas are delicious! read more

Thought this was going to be a decent place to eat dinner. A one star is probably generous!

Good food. Chips and salsa were excellent. I think my Steak Tampiqueño may have had a different cut of meat than was described in the menu, but it was delicious anyway. We were there on a Friday night, so it got very busy. One negative: TOO COLD IN THERE! Bring a jacket. read more

Solid food and great margarita specials. I've enjoyed the different pork dishes I've ordered. Our new favorite!

Easily the best Margarita EVER. So fresh, a real Margarita. The food is really good and the service is even better. Beef chimichangas are to die for, covered in a homemade cheese sauce. They really care about their guests. Hands down the best Mexican food and margaritas. Will return many times! read more

I go here at least once a week the food and service is always very good. It can get busy Friday nights here. Cool thing is the menu on the special board. The steak and cheese is amazing definitely wouldn't expect that at a Mexican place. read more

This restaurant is awesome!! The food is delicious and the service is outstanding!! I work near it and frequent it as much as possible. What a great place!!! read more

Awesome quality, service, quantity, and price! The place is rather small, and not very impressive, but I'm glad we stopped by. Best Mexican food I have had in a long time. The fajitas were excellent, and the serving quite generous. read more

Good cheese dip (my one requirement for Mexican), well priced and tasty lunch fajitas, good service. I will definitely return.

Wonderful atmosphere, fantastic food. The chili verde was one of the best I have ever had. Great for families or flying solo. Just awesome. Put it on your go to list for Mexican food in our area. read more

If you are anywhere close, this place is AWESOME! Enjoyed the fajitas for two which included everything you could ask for (we asked for it spicy) and we took half of it back to Great Wolf. House margarita - had 2. Ask for Jordan. Holy Christ, I'm stuffed and satisfied. read more

My husband and I grew up in LA and spent 25 years in Houston. We could not believe our luck that El Sabor Mexicano is right next door. This is a family owned restaurant that takes pride in their food. Excellent value as well as excellent food. To us Mexican food is comfort food. read more

Excellent food and service at a great price! Perfect lunch portions. We will definitely be frequent visitors.

Great authentic Mexican restaurant off the beaten path in Williamsburg. Away from Colonial Williamsburg, it's not a place that you would just run into without hearing about it first. Awesome happy hour, very cheap modelo and margs! The food lived up to the authentic atmosphere and was killer. I got the Texas Fajitas, which I would definitely recommend if you like shrimp in your fajitas! Give El Sabor a visit read more

The service here was one of the best I have ever had! The Portions were also good for the great prices!

Thought we would give this place a try due to its favorable reviews in Yelp. The inside is very plain, with an odd smell. The service was fast and friendly. The food was good with large portions but unfortunately it was not very hot. My friend has celiac disease and anything with gluten will put her in the hospital. She asked the waiter for corn tortillas with her order of fajitas. He wrote it down on the order. The food came and she started eating and noticed that the tortillas were thicker than a corn tortilla. She called the waiter back and asked him if the tortillas were corn. He took a look and said no, they where wheat flour tortillas. So now my friend will likely spend a couple days in the hospital as she is extremely intolerant of gluten. When I spoke to the staff they were apologetic but didn't even offer us the meal for free. We both left with uneaten meals. It's really inexcusable that a restaurant does not appreciate how bad celiac disease can be and what the consequences of serving someone tortillas with gluten in them are when specifically asked not to. read more

I'm a regular at this location as are many of the other patrons. Good Mexican food. I like the fact that it is family owned and operated.

I'm glad we read the reviews on Yelp and took a chance on eating here. The food was delicious. The tamale was one of the best that I have had since I used to live in Texas. We did not find the food to be overly spicy. The guacamole was fresh as was the salsa. The food came quickly and the restaurant was clean. We found the staff to be friendly an attentive. We will definitely be back! read more

This restaurant has great food at a very reasonable price. It is perfect for lunch on a budget. Highly recommended.

Ok. So this little joint rocked my world tonight! My daughter & her friend wanted to treat me to dinner. We had a great dinner, with generous portions and flavorful seasonings. The three of us ate a delicious dinner for about $11/person. That's a great deal on a college kids budget! I recommend the shrimp & rice. It was tasty. read more

Awesome food. VERY traditional and natural. It is a taste that you can only get from Mexico. I will be a regular customer here. And for the people on the review complaining about not enough season...they're just uneducated on culinary arts and are use to everything being too Americanized. Like I said very traditional food. If you want a taste of Mexico then this is where you need to go. read more

We are not from around here but love all sorts of food. Mexican food is one of our favorites. We kind of just picked this place to try out due to location from where we were staying. A lot to pick from. We enjoyed it very much. Clean, friendly staff and excellent food. Also we also got dessert outta the blue for our family of 4 and also a couple free different salsas. Our third trip to Williamsburg and we will be back. read more

Absolutely delicious, affordable, and very very friendly. This is a wonderful place to bring kids or to eat just as adults.

The food was really good, and the prices were excellent! The service was fantastic, too. Very friendly people! Angel was very hospitable and friendly. The tamales were delicious and the horchata was "to die for"! I will definitely visit this restaurant next time I'm in Williamsburg! read more

This place is awesome! Amazing service, high quality food for a low price, and huge portions. Would definitely recommend to anyone who likes Mexican. Our waitress also gave us a dessert on the house. An all around great place read more

Good food for value. You can't beat the price for what you get. Cozy place with great friendly service. Some of the flavors are a little different than typical Mexican restaurants. Food not as tasty as other Mexican restaurants, but then those other places are often more expensive. Might be a personal preference...some may enjoy better the slightly different flavors. Worth checking out! read more

Positive Yelp reviews persuaded us to look this place up while visiting the Busch Gardens in Williamsburg. It is located on a wide road cut in the forest which certainly is not the original forest the colonists had found here but a little bit of greenery is always welcome. There are other businesses along this road but they are not crowded. This place is located in a larger open area; it's sunny, with big windows. We arrived shortly before sunset and you can enjoy it there without any inconvenience. The restaurant is not huge but we got a table after perhaps a one minute wait. They have an outside seating area but we were hot after the whole day spent outside. The menu is colorful and attractive, and the number of choices made us meditate for a good while. Finally we decided to try a couple of the entrees on the twenty-something meal combination list. It was some of the best Mexican food we've ever had. Everything was delicious, including the margaritas and the french fries for the kids. It was a perfect closure to an entertaining day. This place is inexpensive, clean, quiet, with a good atmosphere and friendly staff. It can be romantic at sunset. We only wish it was closer to home. It may well be that it's impossible to have bad Mexican food in Virginia but even so we'll be back when we're in the area again. read more

It may not look like much from the outside, but I promise the food is amazing. I've tried most of their chicken dishes, haven't been disappointed yet. It's family owned and they are all super friendly and provide great service. read more

Our favorite Mexican restaurant in town. Friendly service and great food! Hands down the most authentic place we have found. The tacos al pastor taste like the street tacos I've had in Tijuana, Mexico and the tacos carne de asada are just perfect. We love the quaint atmosphere and sweet family that runs/works here. We've eaten here on at least ten different occasions now and it's always consistent. read more

Daytime service is quicker than evening. Food is always excellent. It's the best Mexican food in Williamsburg/JCC that I've found. Prices are great. Normally can't finish our plates and have to take a box home. For $10-$12 bucks, before tip, two people will be stuffed and ready for a nap. lol read more
