The food was fantastic, and the staff and owner are truly wonderful people. I had a small hiccup on my end with my card, and they were incredibly patient, kind, and understanding.

I live two hours away, but every time I'm in the area for work, I'll definitely be stopping by and supporting this business. I can't recommend them enough! Great food, great people, and a great experience.

Sabor A Mexico ("Flavor of Mexico"). Mineral, VA. Dec, 2025. My husband and I just returned from…read moreTucson, AZ where, being so close to the Mexican border, we had some excellent Mexican food. We have since returned home to our rural community in Virginia, and went to Sabor A Mexico for an early dinner. The waitress immediately brought us a basket of their complimentary fresh tortilla chips, and their homemade (excellent) salsa. Per our usual habit, we split our entrees. I ordered a grilled taco plate ($12.47) which features three flour tacos, with choice of meat, refried beans, rice, homemade pico de gallo, and another sauce (tasty, but not sure what it was). I got one each of chicken, carnitas (pork) and carne asada (steak) tacos. My husband predictably? got a taco salad ($9.62) with ground beef, refried beans, iceberg lettuce, tomato, shredded cheese, and sour cream, served in a deep fried shell. All of the food was tasty and was as authentic as the Mexican food we ate in Tucson. Quantities were excellent. I couldn't eat "my half", and turned the plate back to my husband to finish off. Our waitress was attentive, checking on us regularly to see if we needed anything. A few small quibbles -- we prefer a salsa with some chunks in it; this one was over-processed for our preference. Also, the pico de gallo was more liquidy than we'd prefer. It made the rest of the food a bit wet. Beyond the restaurant's control, taxes are high at 11.3%, with the town of Mineral getting 6% whereas the state of Virginia gets 5.3%. We enjoy this restaurant, and will return.

Was in the area with some family. And it was dinner time and I was in the mood for some food. Never…read morebeen here and didn't think to come here everytime I've been near it until last night. I was walking nearby and a group of guys passed me and walked inside. And for some reason at that particular time in the moment In that very second it hit me. Go check it out. Let me tell you all I'm glad I did. I went in scoped the place out thinking get something. Try it out, yelp it. I watched the guys order these soup bowls and I looked at the menu above behind the ordering station with the cashier. They guys ordered soup dinners instead of burritos or tacos I thought, ok must be good I was thinking. It looked very authentic on the menu. I walked up and wanted to try something simple and small not a soup yet had to peak my interest with the taste buds ya know what I'm saying. So I was wanting a burrito, I asked the cashier gentleman questions what goes inside, how is it, what's it come with like sides and all. He told me asked me what meat I wanted for the burrito I was ordering, I said ground beef, he said they don't have that, closest thing would be the steak. I'm not going to lie when I heard no ground beef I was going to say cancel on my order and I was going to leave. I was upset, hearing no ground beef as an option. But I stood there with the thought get the steak option that he offered, do it. Just do it. Say it. And I did, I kept the ordering going. I ordered the steak meat especial burrito. And omg it was fantastic! I fell in love with this place. I definitely recommend this place. If you ever walk into a restaurant and are not up for taking chances, well screw that, break the boundaries take the extra step surprise yourself. You may be shocked and confused on what you have missed. You may actually find something that makes your taste buds happy. Enjoy take a leap of taste. Wink Wink

Stopped here Friday (6/18) afternoon to pick up a quick lunch to take home with us after doing some shopping. It was around 1:15 p.m. & the parking lot had about 4-5 vehicles of patrons besides us. One table was already dining; the rest of us were waiting for our orders. And the wait tends to be on the long side. Husband ordered 3 regular chicken tacos; while I ordered 1 chicken, 1 marinated pork, & 1 tripe - all were $3 each, were in warm double soft corn tortillas, were liberally topped with diced onion & cilantro, & came with a couple of fresh lime wedges & quite a few sliced radishes. One small plastic cup of "green sauce" & one of "red sauce" were included. Unfortunately, we found these tacos disappointing. The chicken consisted of tiny little dried-up nubbins of meat that were difficult to get down, even with sauce, & my marinated pork taco was almost inedibly salty. The only possible saving grace would have been my tripe taco, which was moist & flavorful, but that one taco was all-tortilla & almost no filling. Maybe 2 tablespoons at most. Bottom Line: For around $20.00, this was a disappointment when compared to the "La Chiapaneca" food truck on the other side of town. However, we did see a couple of large overstuffed Cubano-type sandwiches & other items go by that tells me that perhaps the "regular tacos" are not their strong point. Staff were very pleasant & friendly, but like I said - you may have quite a wait because it also looked like quite a few folks had called their orders in ahead of time & were just there to pick up. Another tip - be sure to check your order before leaving, as while we were there one woman returned & complained that her order was missing an item for which she then had to endure another long wait. She was not pleased.
