GREAT VALUE! Flavorful food and generous portions. We had the Texas Fajitas and Chori Pollos for entrees, but the guacamole and Queso Fundido had a nice mix of salt and savory. I should probably mention that the Texas Margaritas can sneak up on you, so beware. read more

Best chorizo I've had in a long time and the flan was delicious. Not to mention so affordable and excellent customer service.

This is by far the best mexican restaurant i've been to. They gave us generous portions. The tacos were fresh and not to greasy. The service was good and so was the food. read more

We got the fajitas for two, they are more like fajitas for four. They where very good and plentiful. The habanero salsa is NO joke. It will kick your butt. read more

El Sabor Mexicano - Mexican Near Me - Williamsburg, Virginia

After taking a look for Mexican food in Williamsburg, I stumbled upon this place and what a treat that was. A small establishment off the beaten path that seemed to be filled with locals. I ordered the Enchiladas dish and it was delicious. A great enchilada sauce and a large portion. The house salsa was also quite tasty. The best part of all of this was the expansive menu that gives everyone in your group a choice and the very cheap prices for quality food. Highly recommend if you are in the area looking for an affordable meal with quality taste! read more

This is the spot !!! Cheap and quick plus tasty . Please come support this family owned business

Came for the first time while on our great wolf lodge trip. Staff was great, and came to check on us often. The guacamole was one of the best I've had in a good while. Wen the food came out it looked really good and it did not let down it was as good as it looked will be returning while on trips again. read more

Standard authentic Mexican restaurant fare off of the beaten tourist path. Very inexpensive but comes with good quality food. Texas margs were tasty but very OJ heavy. Always love a place that brings out fresh chips and sauce as soon as you sit though! If you're looking for a quick tasty inexpensive meal, this is the place. read more

Food is fast and fresh! Staff is friendly and attentive!! Will drive from Richmond just to eat here again. And again. And again!!

Have been here numerous time and have had a great meal each time. This is definitely one of the few great Mexican restaurants in town.

We moved to Williamsburg recently and are enjoying trying lots of different restaurants. We've been to three or four Mexican restaurants in the area so far and El Sabor stands out for taste and quality. We lived in Southern California for six years and appreciate well-prepared and flavorful Mexican food. The place is small and the decor is nothing special, but the food is delicious and the prices are reasonable. The service was also friendly and efficient--we will definitely be regulars! read more

I've been dragging my feet to write a review, because selfishly I am worried that I will never be able to get a table here and the prices will go way up! You guys, this place is the real deal. Like seriously. I am from Southern CA, and this place legit tastes like home. After talking with Oscar, I found our the owners are from the town next to mine! No wonder it is so good. I have yet to he disappointed. I love this place, because right when you sit down they bring you hot chips and fresh, delicious salsa -- many VA Mexican food places do not do this. I've ordered a variety of entrees - all amazing. My favorite is the combo taquitos plate. Super yum! Enjoy amigos! read more

If you're ever on your way home from Busch Gardens and you're starving, and you think you'd like to patronize a local place instead of a fast food chain, and you see this place...head to the fast food joint. It's unfortunate that the food was pretty awful because the service was good and the people who own the place seem very nice. The carnitas were horrible. 1/2 of the unseasoned meat (or if it was seasoned, it was flavorless) was just pure fat. On the menu, there was no mention that if you order the enchiladas poblanas, they will be smothered in raw onion when served. Scraping off all the onions, left for very little sauce, but what I did taste was pretty good. Salsa was okay, as was the guacamole included with our dinners. The best thing was the cheese quesadilla, but frankly, I could make that at home. After spending $30 on less than mediocre food, I wished we had just stopped at Wendy's. read more

Been here on several occasions and have always enjoyed the food. The food quality fluctuates between decent and amazing depending on the day and what you order. The staff, and Oscar in particular, have always been very friendly and willing to accommodate special orders. We knew this was a fun place because you have to order your Margarita by color, either blue for strong or green for normal. I moved from California to the Williamsburg area during the summer of 2012 and so far this has been the closest thing to a taqueria back home that I can find. I would recommend this place to who ever wants good mexican food at a relatively cheap price. read more

I'm from New York where they have a lot of good Mexican food so I'm came across this restaurant do to yelp and it's good reviews and this place was great food n drink guacamole was great so was my platter thanks friendly service thanks read more

I'm New Mexico born and raised. I've been gone from there for over 30 years. In all that time, the Mexican food restaurants were decent, at best. I drove by El Sabor, decided I was hungry and turned around. I was not disappointed. I walked in the door and was greeted like is been coming here for years (there was a genuine smile on the hostess' face). I lunch here whenever I can. read more

Best Mexican food I've ever eaten. The chile relleno was fresh and so the chicken. The refried beans are homemade and don't taste like out of a can. You can tell from every bite you take that this place uses fresh ingredients. No complaints here! From the staff to the facility everything just perfect! A must try read more

WORTH GOING OUT OF THE WAY... We read the other reviews and convinced ourselves to try it. The establishment isn't your normal million dollar attraction, but the staff and food are far better than ANYTHING within 50 miles. Excellent excellent bar skill and PRICES. THE ONLY place that brings out the pitcher with ICE cold mugs with starters (prevents over head). Again, super happy with staff! Don't let the outside fool you!! They were happy to accommodate a party of 9! read more

Regular diner here. Great food, cheap prices, lovely staff. Skip the big box chains and glitzy nonsense. El Sabor is better. read more

Great place the people are wonderful here! I wish they had a more premium margarita with fresh lime instead of the sour mix and orange juice but the food is really good. read more

I have nothing but praise for this place. The food and service are better than every other Mexican place in town. Oscar is beyond friendly and offers excellent service. Just go here and skip the big crowd at the local chain. read more

We took a chance based on the incredible reviews on here...and we were let down. First of all, the servers were not attentive at all. Our chip basket sat bone dry for a good 10 minutes. Additionally, We were seated at a booth where the air register was leaking and I was continually hit with cold drops during my meal. Not a pleasant experience. As far as food goes, I had the Mexican pizza, with no chicken. The beef was saltier than the Pacific Ocean. It was unbearable to eat. The tortillas that made the "crust" were pretty good; nice, crispy, and buttery. My husband had Pollo Fundido, and said that it was okay. The kids devoured their cheese quesadillas - but that isn't surprising. All that said, not an overly impressive experience and I don't think we will be back. read more

Good food, great desert, great service. Food came out quick. 10/10. I will be going back and bring friends. Nothing to complain about: Bathroom was small but clean. read more

The food was decent. Not the best, but not the worst either. The portions were huge for the price you paid. But the service was very slow. Took a while to get our food once it was ordered and then much longer to get the check. I'm used to Mexican being a lot quicker. We've been here well over an hour, and most of that time has been waiting for one thing or another. We have been finished eating for almost 15 minutes and still waiting for someone to offer a box and check. We were in the area, but next time, I think we will choose something else. read more

Love eating here. They have great chips and their salsa is delish!! I ordered their nachos with beans and chicken for starters. Very tasty with the right amount of cheese. Their margaritas are really good too. They have happy hour too. 2.00 drafts and 2.75 margaritas! Small little restaurant so do try to get there early. When I mean small, I mean they can accommodate about 30 people inside and maybe about 20 outside. read more

Are you kidding me? This place is awesome. Had the enchiladas rancheros, and could've licked the plate clean.

This is a little "hole in the wall" excellent place. I am from Southern CA and when I saw someone else from So Cal went and loved it, we had to go. The table chips and salsa are amazing on point. I ordered a combo plate, which I think they got wrong because there was no chalupa but instead a tostada but it was all great! the prices are fair and the kids plates are more than enough food. Service was fast and efficient and the atmosphere is totally pairing with the food. We will be returning! read more

I had the combination (chicken, steak, and shrimp) fajitas and my wife had a combo (taco, enchilada, tostada) platter. It was decent but not a knock out. We finished with the flan for dessert and that was really good. We got out for less than $25 plus tip. Can't beat the price. read more

The food here is nothing special, the only reason why I would come back is cuz their hot habanero sauce is really good! Most Mexican places never have anything spicy enough! We ordered beef dishes and they seasoned the meat way too salty! But the habanero makes up for their flaws! read more

This place was the LAST place I would've considered...AND I WOULD'VE BEEN WRONG!!! From the moment we walked in, we were enthusiastically greeted, seated and provided great service. I wanted to sit outside since it was a nice day; but my group didn't and the waiter said we would be fighting flies because the food was good. Our waiter came over and was attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. It wasn't five minutes before chips were on the table with the drinks we ordered. Our meals were piping hot and arrived within 15 minutes. The desserts were authentic and delectable all of which were homemade!!! We ordered La Araña, Fried Ice Cream and Flan for desserts. We will definitely return hungry for more! read more

Nice surprise to find a place with such quality Mexican food, the service is good and decor delightful. The place was near to fully seated so we were lucky to get a table read more

Service was great. Our waitress was amazingly sweet. The food... The food!!! Delicious. The chips and salsas were tasteful. They have this ranch sauce for the chips that was too good. The chimichangas were the perfect size and the flavor was just right. My husband ordered the tacos and they were authentic. At the end we were given some sweet chips with chocolate... Mmmmmmm. I would have to say it was one of the best Mexican meals I have ever had... read more

Friendly atmosphere and large portions. I had the #1 Lunch combo with chili rellano and taco with beans and a salad. The rellano had a too thick doughy batter covering a thin chili and some cheese. That was disappointing. The taco was average but sat on the same plate , got soggy and fell apart. read more

Picked up take out for a quiet night back at the hotel; all was fresh, tasty, well prepared; generous portions. Extra fixins for our meals including shredded lettuce, guacamole, a creamy ranch style sauce, sour cream, salsa and rice and beans. We ate: Quesadilla Vallarta, Tostaguac, Chimichanga Beef.... good choice, thanks to other Yelpers recommendation! read more

Best in Williamsburg! Every time we go we leave full and satisfied. They have the best Texas Margaritas and there pork fajitas are the best around. I love the atmosphere staff are always polite and helpful. read more

Wow. This place deserves zero stars. I'm literally sitting at the bar and was expecting to enjoy a drink but I watched the bartender/waitress scoop the chips up with her bare hands right after she wiped her nose. NO hand sanitizing or washing was done between. She also scooped ice into my cup with her hands. This place is not clean and it needs to be avoided at all costs. I do not recommend at all. The staff members working here all used their hands to scoop up the chips which is unsanitary and disgusting. This is not how a good establishment should be run. read more

Great mexican food, the fresh nachos with the hot sauce are excellent. The tacos el pastor, beef and chicken great, the guacamole is just right. Family restaurant with a very high quality. The Corona was nice and cold. Yes 10 out 10. read more

My boyfriend and i came here for dinner. The drinks were huge and crazy cheap, there's no way we'd find something similar in NY. We both ordered different combos, i wasn't too crazy about mine but he loved his. But the drinks and the price won us over for sure! read more
