Thre sopas de pollo here are incredible. Best I've had in the area for sure. The tacos are very good and large portions. The arroz is also great. The service is great and friendly. It's a small spot and definitely a hole in the wall but so worth it. Got take out. read more

Sabor Azteca - Mexican Near Me - Gaithersburg, Maryland

Best tacos in town! Service is always great, never had a bad experience here. I also love the environment of the restaurant, brings the atmosphere of an authentic Mexican restaurant. read more

I live in Frederick and I've been making the drive to Gaithersburg just for the sopes for close to a decade. If I had one meal before I die I honestly think the sope combo would be it. I'm Mexican and all my aunts are real competitive about their food and the person that makes theess sopes blows all of them out of the water. The texture on them are absolute perfection and do not get me started on their habanero sauce. They sell bottles of it and I do leave without one. This place has a special place in my heart. The owner is hardworking and kind! read more

I don't think people in this area really know how incredible Sabora Azteca is. The food is filling in the best way, where you feel healthier and energized. The flavors are unique and refreshing. Also their menu has some great vegetarian dishes. Consistently awesome food. read more

Always good food only bad thing about this restaurant is that it's not open on Mondays!! But food is always a 10

Came here with my Spanish teacher to experience authentic Mexican food. The food was based on dishes in the 1700s and the flavor is amazing! Walking in, there is a display of their desserts on display: flan, arroz con leche, and jello with yogurt. I ordered enchiladas with mole, and the mole was not something I had expected. I learned the mole is made from at least seven ingredients, one of which is chocolate. And, yes, I am not a fan of chocolate, but the dish grew on me quickly after having several bites, and I finished a majority of it before I got too full. It is situated in a Salvadorian neighborhood, and the food is authentic, true to its roots. The meals are very cheap, and don't let the presentation fool you: the flavor and smell are amazing. read more

Sabor Azteca - Enchiladas with mole. Absolutely delicious. - Mexican Near Me - Gaithersburg, Maryland

My dad and partner told me about this hole in the wall restaurant that i had to try! Beyond my expectations it's about 35 minutes away from where i live and worth that drive. The sweet cooks that perfected this shape of a sope and the salsas. You'd think it would be such a basic dish but no it comes with love FLAVOR and just the right portion. If you get the combo which is what i went with you get rice, beans, two sopes (i ordered carne asada and tinga like a spicy chicken with onion) and a can of soda. You truly can't beat that. It's a hit every time and want the entire world to know about their amazing green and red salsa. Coats your lips well and you definitely need that soda to cool down in a good way. read more

Anyone that tells you that you can't get real Mexican food in Maryland has not been here! This is pretty close to anything I've had in TX or CA. Prices are very fair and portions are large. T It has all of the atmosphere of a Chinese or sub take out counter but is a true diamond in the rough. read more

Large menu with pictures which is nice at an ethnic restaurant. Service was quick. Tried the tacos on the first visit. They were fine. Not worth coming back for (kind of bland and not loaded with meat) but edible. The tacos are better at the MVA Food Trucks. ;) I'd come back to try some other things. They have Huevos Rancheros all day, which Id like to try. The Horchata was good. So, don't be afraid to eat here if you're in the area. You may find an ethnic gem I didn't experience! ...but I don't think it's worth going out of your way. read more

Some of the food I got here was good. I liked my beef tongue and pork tacos the most. The chicken tostada was worth getting too. I would never recommend the pambazos; don't be fooled by the description. There is almost NO meat in it... My friend got hte quesadillas. She wasn't impressed at all. I tried and wouldn't recommend it either. Stick with the tacos and tostadas in my opinion! read more

They have the best pozole in the DMV. Their chicken enchiladas, sopes and tacos are also amazing.

Review for tacos only. Tortilla was dry not toasted. Meat was dry and barely any onion and cilantro. Sad disappointing tacos. Mva truck are better read more

I came here with my bestie and her family and I must say the food was definitely amazing! It is truly a gem. Everything that we had was great down to the horchata it was a bit more of a cinnamon taste but still good. We definitely decided that we would come back. A meal for 7 was around 70 bucks. read more

Pretty interesting hole-in-the wall authentic cheap Mexican food. I had a stuffed cactus dish. Very casual, very quiet place except for the soccer playing in the background. A lot of things I have not seen before on the menu. The food could have been a little more flavorful, though. read more

Sabor Azteca - Two tacos al pastor and one carne Asada - Mexican Near Me - Gaithersburg, Maryland

Love This place! Best authentic Mexican Tacos in Montgomery County, Maryland. I moved here following ten plus years living in Southern California, and this is the closest you'll get to the authentic mexican tacos available over there. Love their lengua, adobada, carne asada, beef tacos. Good Mexican horchata; my family likes the tortas & tostadas as well. read more

Went here with my girlfriend and it was great! Just FYI, this place is authentic so get the idea of getting nachos and burritos out of your head. That's tex mex. if you truly want Mexican food, this is the place. Fast service as well. Kind of small but nobody can fix that. Can't complain since this is the authentic Mexican experience. Give it a shot guys! read more

This small mom and pop mexican joint is the best authentic Mexican I've have since I visited Mexico city. Pretty amazing flavor for the low prices...! read more

I can't believe it's literally taken me 3 years since moving from Chicago to the DMV to find a great taco joint but I just moved 3 blocks away and I could not be happier! The steak is perfectly charred, the tortias incredibly fresh,the house sauces are delicious and ingredients fresh. You can't ask for better tacos in the entire county! read more

The service is bad the man that is on the front doesn't care about the clients I order 2 quesadillas of steak and I comment him about it and he got really mad and curse at me and also the tacos did have a hair and they where kinda cold I will not recommend this place to anyone I rather make it by myself read more

Tacos, sopes and the train, price a bit high , not everybody likes to watch really laud soccer games.

I recommend the tacos de lengua and al pastor. They're not quick because it's being done from scratch.

This is a small Tacqueria type place in a strip mall just off downtown Gaithersburg. Just a few tables to sit and eat and the menu is written on a white board. The food is authentic Mexican and pretty good. The tacos were really good. My fiancee had a Torta that she said was good. I also ordered the Chilaquilles but they were just ok. I like them when some of the chips are still crispy but these were completely soft and a couple of fried eggs on top. The prices were reasonable but not super cheap like you might expect at this type of establishment. The service was ok but they were not very friendly. read more

One of my favorite places! The service is good, not too fast, so you know they are making things from scratch. My favorites include the tostadas de pollo. Enchiladas (de mole o de salsa verde) and the Mexican hot chocolate. read more

Bad service overall. Food is bland, yes it is Mexican food, cooked by Mexicans but just plain bland. If you are looking for California Style food maybe this is the place for you. read more

This place has the banging taste and authentic flavor you could ask for in any meat, the people there are so nice and very well mannered. If you ever need anything it doesn't hurt to ask, they'd be happy to help! Came in there expecting to order 2 carne asada tacos but left with 6 in my stomach because of how astounding they are, comes freshly made off the flat grill so the food comes out nice and hot which in my opinion is the preferred temperature id like to eat my food at. I recommend to try the combo list thats on the rightside of the register, they usually don't tend to point it out as much or promote it but i always order the 2 taco combo, comes with a can of coke or a horchata and a side of beans a rice just for 8.99. Also ask about their card rewards system, as you can see their business cards besides the register it says in the bottom "turn this in to get a free taco" if you ask about it they give you a paperhole stamp in the card and they tell you once you reach 10 orders/visits you can claim the free taco, that also comes with a side of a drink! Not promoted but like i said, never hurts to ask here because of curiosity! Im giving them a 4 star unfortunately due to my notice in the price changes on the menu, it seems this summer they've revved it up a notch and have noticed the demand so they have raised the prices quite a bit not much maybe 35¢ or less but they do add up sometimes when you come in with a group or make a big order. Nonetheless i always come out of here satisfied! read more

A hole in the wall place, the food is decent but is definitely on the pricier side. Most plates are close to $9 to $10+. I would go for other options instead of here. read more
