Although I've visited Nicaragua, I didn't get to try the food there. A great opportunity, then, to…read moretry the cuisine closer to home at Sabor Nicaraguense! A cozy spot that caters to the locals, and I'm pretty sure I was the only non-Spanish speaker that day lol. All the same, the ladies running the restaurant were all super kind, if a bit surprised to see me eating at their establishment. Ordered gallo pinto (small) and nacatamal, both served in generous portions (enough for leftovers). Both were really tasty, hearty and flavorful. No frills, but I enjoyed them. Not expensive at all, totaling just under $15 that gave me two meals! Definitely try Nicaraguan food in your lifetime!

Being Nica and spending Mother's Day with my parents here made this experience important to us…read more The food was great overall, and the vigorón was very mediocre. However, my biggest disappointment was the chicharrón ( nothing but inflated air ) It tasted store-bought instead of fresh and authentic, which was surprising for a restaurant representing Nicaraguan cuisine. That was honestly the only major issue with our visit. Everything else was good, but authentic, freshly made chicharrón would make a huge difference and better match the quality of the rest of the food. I hope this is something the restaurant can improve on because the potential is definitely there.

Nothing Nicaraguan about it. The meat had been marinated in either too much salt or was in vinegar for too long. The gallo Pinto was awful. A nice cut of cheese, but the cheese tasted like nothing. Might as well have been tofu. The only thing tasty on the plate was the cabbage that is prepared for pupusas. Nicas' have a similar cabbage salad. so all in all, it was a disappointment. I have a hunch their pupusa's may be good. But as far as Nicaraguan cuisine - they have failed. Adelitas on pico & Union has the best Nica Carne Azada

The meats were well-seasoned, tender, and had that great grilled, smoky taste you want from these dishes. We also ordered tostones on the side, which were crispy and great for dipping, but the real surprise was the fried cheese -- absolutely amazing. Salty, golden, and perfectly crisp on the outside while still soft inside. Easily one of the highlights of the meal. Overall, a really satisfying experience with hearty portions, authentic flavors, and sides that definitely deserve attention. I'd happily go back to try more from the menu. Service was great. They brought the food pretty quickly. And we're helpful on trying to decide what to eat. Everything in the menu look tasty and I think these were probably one of the top choices. There's plenty of seating good for family, friends, and for date dates. They do offer valley parking as well. Unless you find parking in the street.
