Let's taco bout this busy spot in the heart of Mineral! We were on our way to Culpeper and had a hankering for Mexican food, lo and behold, we spotted Sabor! Upon entering, we were greeting by a pleasant lady who was a busy bee! We ordered our meals "to go" and while we waited, this lady brought us our sodas and chips & salsa to snack on. The festive decor was typical of most Mexican restaurants. It was clean, but with some supplies stacked against the walls and cluttered counters which were a bit of an eyesore. The restroom was nice and tidy though! You can tell this is a hopping place for locals because they flocked here! True, there aren't many other joints in this small town! Nevertheless, on this beautiful spring day, several customers were enjoying the outdoor seating with tables bedecked with bright market umbrellas! Others were inside the galley styled floor plan, munching on their meals! Our food came out Piping hot and well packaged with additional chips and salsa! The tortilla chips were warm, delicate, crispy. I chose the taquitos, because what's easier to eat on the road than a rolled taco?! What a huge portion for the price! My entree came with two hefty beef and two yummy chicken taquitos on a bed of rice, served with lettuce, tomato, cheese, guac and sour cream! I wish I had taken a photo before I chowed down! The meats were tender and juicy, with flavorful spices and packed a wallop! Amazing! My sis ordered the chicken quesadilla and was equally impressed with her meal! Once we arrived at our destination, we finished up the tangy rice and sides! We savored every bite! The prices were great and service was fast, and I'll be sure to stop into Sabor, meaning "to taste", next time I'm passing Mineral, VA for a taste of Mexico!

A simple Mexican restaurant with very average food. Although service was sufficient, the down draw is the food both in quality and quantity. Our party of six all agreed to this rating for dinner. The meals were relatively smaller in size and the quality is just mediocre. Nothing special about any dish. Ambiance is low budget. You get what you pay generally and when I paid the bill, all the prices reflected a 10-25% increase from the menu prices. This is deceptive. I gave this place a 3* which I think is generous. Looking for some improvement if I return.

This is a great restaurant in a cute little town. It doesn't look like much from the outside, but boy wait to you sit down and get a taste of the real authentic Mexican food. The business is family owned and run. Super curtious people who get their delicious food out quick! You cannot beat the price either! I promise you will not be disappointed to drive a few extra miles out in the country for this great food.

An absolute gem in town. We were visiting and got take out after the long drive into town. This place is very cute on the inside. We got our order quickly and it was so much food. Portions were very generous. Also the salsa was delicious. I loved what I got (carnitas) and what my sister let me try of her food as well. It was delicious and I'd recommend this place to anyone.

Nice Mexican joint in a very small town. The decor is typical mexican cafe but kind of quirky. Doesnt look like much from the outside, and some areas look a bit cluttered inside but dont let that fool you. It was very clean and tidy. Lots of tables and booths inside as well as some outside. We were quickly greeted by a very pleasant lady upon entering who took us to our seat. Soon after someone dropped by with a basket of chips and dish of salsa. The chips are light and crispy and the salsa addictive. Our server took out drink orders. They have a full bar , beer and wine, though it is not on the menu. Margaritas are a good size and delicious-beers ice cold, great prices too. We ordered a couple plates. Tacos, burritos enchiladas and chile rellenos. They arrived piping hot and the cheese melting. The flavors are good. You kind of need to let it cool a bit and congel. All were delicious. Good portion sizes. Other dishes I saw being served looked equally well prepared. The staff was friendly as well other customers. Its kind of a local favorite, so they get quite busy. We had a great time and enjoyed our meals very much. This is a hidden gem for sure !!

Although the employees were very nice I will have to say the food was awful . Refried beans were like water and the meat (if that's what you want to call it) was like lowest quality cheap pink slime hamburger or maybe by the way it tasted just old leftover meat. Not good. It did not appear very clean and looked really dirty. I started to walk out but promised my grand daughter some tacos. She wouldn't eat them but my dogs did so it wasn't a total loss. As for a 4 1/2 star rating it must be a hoax or either they were starved to death and appreciated the fact the slop kept them alive. This place should be closed down before serious illness erupts. Honestly it doesn't even deserve a 1star rating. This place serves 3rd world food. Bottom line stay healthy DO NOT ATTEMPT TO DINE HERE at Sabor read more

My personal favorite is Burrito California or the Fajitas. My wife likes the flauitas(sp?) which are deep fried taquitoes like rolls. Their rellenas are good too!

We have lived here all our lives and have seen restruants come and go in this building. We hope this one stays! We are regulars here and their food is awesome! Huge portions (and we have never been served a taco shell from store shelves as one reviewer put it) its honestly the best Mexican food we have ate, and we have tried a lot. I've never been disappointed. The owners and staff are beyond nice, and eager to keep you comfortable while your having your meal. Very wonderful service. Sometimes their choice of TV shows that are on the TVs are a bit odd, but overall we have eaten there at least 20 times as well as ordered out and its been nothing short of a wonderful experience and awesome food each and every time. We are pretty hard on restruants with bad food and service. We are paying for a meal and time out together, so we don't have much tolerance for bad food and service, so for us to rave about their food and friendliness, we don't take it lightly. But you will not be sorry you ate here. read more

My son was initially charged $34.39 for two frozen mango margaritas at the bar. Later, he went back up to the bar ordered one frozen strawberry margarita (listed at $15) and a tequila shot ($6), yet was charged $58.46. When I questioned, the female bartender about the price of a frozen margarita, and shot she immediately stated it was $15 and $6 stated that they thought the two earlier frozen mango margaritas had not been paid for. Obviously that was a false statement because they would've never allowed a patriot to walk away without paying for drinks from the bar this was just a way to justify them overcharging him. Although a refund was issued after I raised the issue, it was still inaccurate only $30 was returned instead of the full $34.39, excluding tax. Additionally, no apology or clear explanation was provided. This experience reflects poorly on the establishment's billing accuracy and transparency. Customers should carefully review their charges, as pricing appears inconsistent for identical items. Based on this experience, I would not recommend this establishment.

The hibachi was really tasty and flavorful, the filet/shrimp combo was a hit. Didn't come out very hot though. We all thought it was a little odd that there was corn mixed in the fried rice for a hibachi meal? But not a huge deal. Veggies were also very flavorful. We got some sushi dishes as well that were decent! Pretty good portions and overall a solid meal, just don't come to expect quick service on a bus weekend night.
