I'm a tough critic for Mexican food, having lived there, and I really enjoyed this spot. And while I wouldn't say that the food was 100% authentic to me, it was tasty and you have to give extra points for the whole experience. Seems like a family run restaurant that is serving up goodness at reasonable prices. Would happily go back! read more

Cute little Mexican restaurant. I ordered a regular lime margarita on the rocks and a chimichanga dinner. Great service until after I ate my meal, I had to go to the counter to pay because I had to leave but it was one server to many tables so I don't hold it against him. The chimichanga and rice and beans was I think the best I've ever had. The margarita didn't disappoint either. Don't order a water here though it taste gross. I would go back most definitely. I paid 18$ including tip for my meal so comparable to most other mexican restaurants. I will say they have a lot more menu items to choose from than most mexican restaurants. read more

Very good Mexican restaurant. Visited Virginia on vacation and while I don't necessarily think of Mexican food in Virginia, this is as good as any Mexican restaurant I have eaten at. Food: 4/5 Service: 5/5 Ambiance 3.5/5 read more

Food was great and portion size was good. I ordered jumbo mango margarita. Food came hot and also very quickly. Everyone enjoyed the food. They gave us chips and salsa to start and rest was all delicious. Had a great time. read more

The only redeeming factor of this restaurant was the attentive, professional and positive waitress (Nat)! The chips were stale, the enchilada and chili relleno was topped with tomato sauce. The tostada was soggy and the ground meat was tasteless. You get what you pay for! Don't understand why people give it a 4 star?? But I have an idea, since the menu had multiple misspellings and the reviews do too, perhaps the restaurant is writing the positive reviews... read more

As a long time Hispanic food seeker, I could not find any authentic Mexican food in Williamsburg. Since coming here, the food has reminded me of Tijuana years ago. The owners, the wait staff are amazing. Irvin is the key to the restaurant. I have never had a bad time. I would highly recommend it. read more

You know a place has to be good when on a Thursday at lunch 10 of 12 tables are taken. On a quick shopping trip to the Williamsburg Premium Outlets, stopped in here for lunch and enjoyed our meals, both being off the lunch special menu. First, ownership is strong; must be family owned, so they're on point with everything. You can get as much salsa as you like and it's solid. We ordered a guacamole appetizer. It's not all that big, but also cost $3.50. My order was a small quesadilla, enchilada and chalupa. Partner had a chimichanga that came with rice and beans, and the lunch sizes were enough. I believe the whole bill with tip was $21. This is clearly a place I'd like to sample more to see if the rating holds up. The service AND food combine for the 4 star rating given we just delved into the lunch menu, and the portions were smaller. read more

Great food, colorful decor. Service was fast and the food was hot. Delicious desserts. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Amazing food, good drinks, and a fun ambiance. I've only been a handful of times because of the distance, but it's worth the drive.

We've read the reviews and thought to give a go, well let me start off with the host: looked unpleasant, then when asked if we can sit outside as stated on website, he reluctantly sat us outside. The table was dirty (but then cleaned after we asked, the menus were super old and sticky!! The food was: t-bone steak thin and overdone! My husband ordered the Mexican hamburger and there was nothing Mexican about it- it was a regular plain beef cheeseburger!!! Our granddaughter ordered chicken fingers and got chicken nuggets instead!! Andddd the Bathroom toilet seat was cracked and taped up with black electrical tape!!! The sink was dirty, thank God they had soap and paper towels!!!! The only reason why we gave it one Star is because my granddaughter loved the french fries!!! read more

Mexican is not my favorite food but this is definitely one of my favorite places to eat. We love the steak tequila especially! The place is usually crowded but we never have a hard time getting a seat and the wait staff is exceptional! Highly recommend! read more

I don't normally leave reviews for places, but let me tell you, this is the best mexican restaurant I have ever been to. Friendly staff, delicious food, and a fantastic overall experience. Would highly highly recommend giving it a try! read more

My family and I are here most Tuesdays. We love that the service is great and quick! My toddler always wants an hot dog and even though it's not on the menu, they make it happen! We love El Sabor. The food is always fresh! Best Mexican in Williamsburg. read more

While it looks like a total dive from the outside, it's really not. The interior was bright and clean with tile floor. I came solo on a Friday night and had a seat at the bar next to two other single diners who were eating. Our bartender was friendly and was comfortable conversing with us. I had initially planned on getting some pork tacos, but decided on shrimp and rice. The shrimp was nice and plump and was served with cooked onions, tomatoes and peppers. It was pretty good, perhaps a bit greasier than I would have preferred, but that's Mexican for ya. The chips were warm and the salsa was fresh. I ordered mega 32 oz Modelo Especial to go with the food. Hit the spot. The space is tight, especially at the bar, which is crammed in right at the entrance (the cold air kept hitting me when patrons were entering/exiting which was kind of annoying). Overall, I would definitely come here again and feel very comfortable dining solo. I thought it was cool that they were playing Food Network on the TV. read more

Had a delicious dinner here with the family. Everything was hot, flavorful, plentiful and reasonably priced. We had fajitas, tacos, guacamole. My brother and sister had fajitas for two and it had a nice mix of tender beef, chicken and shrimp! Chunky guacamole was great. It's on the outskirts but worth the drive. read more

This place is a family favorite, and we highly recommend it to anyone who asks. The food is inexpensive but remarkably good quality, with generous portions. The guacamole is delicious, and the service is outstanding. We particularly love Gabby and Oscar, but Imelda and her boys are awesome too. Drinks are good, and everything usually comes out quickly. (There are nights when they are slammed when it takes a bit, but that's to be expected at any busy restaurant). All in all, their quality and service is very consistent, and has kept our family coming back regularly for years now. read more

Very good food, nice decor, the patio must be amazing in the summer time. Servers were ok, probably more interaction with guest when it is slow. read more

Wonderful value and service! Great food with generous helpings!

What. The. Hell. There have only been three times that I have been so grossly misled by Yelp reviews- and this takes the cake. They got one extra star for the cheap beer, free chips and kind, hard-working staff; the food, however, was nauseating (could not finish plate, and not because we were full). If it says "beef" on the menu, expect some form of extruded meat paste, with almost no consistency, and questionable origin. Perhaps if I bought bulk, bottom-of-the-line hamburg from Cosco, or liked taco bars at dive bars*, I may have developed a callous for this sort of fare, but I have not. Hopefully the steak is better- if you, for some reason, find yourself here. Also, if the menu doesn't explicitly state an ingredient, do not expect to find it on your plate: even if every other mexican place you have ever been to would have included it. For example, the beef and cheese nachos were just that- chips, beef paste and cheese- no spices, no onions, peppers, sour cream, guac or tomatoes- nada. Chips. Paste. Cheese. Now we are sitting at home and waiting to see if dinner will be "revisiting" us before the night is out. It's too close to bet on. I am at a real loss to explain the other reviews here. I hate to give poor reviews, especially when I like the staff, but our meal was just dreadful. I wish that someone had done the same for me. *last taco bar at dive bar was actually leagues above this read more

Great local place. Good for kids. Super food. Efficient and friendly service. Food was delivered quickly and was delicious. Portion sizes were moderate, however the value was perfect. (Very good prices). This place was full of locals that come back again and again. The staff definitely recognized most of the patrons! Dinner for 2 adults and 3 kids with Margheritas for 2 was under $65 with tax and tip. All of the dishes were very good, but not what you may be used to. Ask the waiter questions about what comes on the plate. read more

Very good food and absolutely wonderful staff! We have been here many times and it is always packed with people. Their mango Texas margarita does not disappoint! It was down right delicious. The bartender Gabriela really knows her stuff. The great food and drinks are wonderful, but the best thing about this place is that they treat you like family which makes for a memorable experience! Highly recommend! read more

Our favorite restaurant for Mexican food. The staff are very nice and the food is great (not to mention the cold cervezas and large margaritas). Thanks to Oscar and the rest of the crew. read more

It is my favorite Mexican restaurant in town. The food takes me back to when I grew up in San Antonio , TX.

Linda and I ate here last nite and it was great! She had a spicy shrimp dish and I had the ribeye steak with marinated shrimps. Steak was tender, shrimps on both dishes were delicious and they came with guacamole salad, rice and beans. Portions are large enough you don't need really appetizers other than the complimentary chips and salsa. We've moved here so will be going often. read more

This place is a great hole in the wall eatery! We enjoyed chicken and bean nachos to start and then basically created our own taco trio. The server was friendly and very cooperative. I'm from southern CA and love Mexican food so I give this place a high recommendation! read more
