My only suggestion is that they need to update their menu, the price they charged me was not reflected off the menu. Although the food tasted good the portions were too small. I specifically ordered everything separately and explained to the lady that I am ordering for 8 people however some orders were placed together. language barrier perhaps. kind of disappointed with what i paid for against what i received. read more

We here for afternoon lunch with family. We wanted Caribbean food. This place offer Dominican/ Caribbean food. The place has food over the counter or a la carte menu. We order the oxtail with white rice the red bean. The food was hot and meat was very tender. We also order the goat with rice and peas the food was very tasty and delicious. We order fried plantains with Dominican refresco and lemonade. Overall the meal was good and restaurant was clean. This is locally owned business. Our server was courteous and friendly. read more

It's always good to switch up the menu and try something different. I found out about this business by reading a list published of the top 5 eateries to try in Hampton Roads. Located next to an African hair braiding business, it can be a bit unassuming when you are looking for this business. The parking lot is shared by other neighboring businesses but I haven't had any issues with parking. The ability to use contactless pay depends on who's working and has a grasp on the functionality of their system. There are daily lunch specials and you can opt to dine in or get your items to go. I never felt the need to call ahead as I was always served promptly. There are some renovations ongoing to try to expand. There is booth seating and some at the counter. There are alcoholic beverages served here if you're trying to get wavy. The flavor of the food has been consistently delicious. Portions were appropriate and those working there were always welcoming. Language can be a barrier but someone will happily come from the kitchen to help make sure that you get what you want/need and everyone's happy. There is a menu and a rotation of daily offerings to choose from. I would definitely recommend this location to someone who is looking to switch it up. read more

Although it clearly says Caribbean, This is not Dominican or P Rican food. This is Central/south American food. I know what it says, I'm here to clearly tell you this is not Caribbean food. However, the food is not bad. Just not that good. Oxtails are decent tho. read more

Food is good and the service is good. The caveat is the food is costly and you don't get much food with your dishes but not bad. read more

The food at this location was pretty good. I can't complain after not eating some Spanish food for more than 190 days. I had me a plate of fried pork chops, yellow rice with peas, some tamarindo juice, a presidente and a tres leches. The price was hella right and the waitress was very attentive. I'll definitely go back for another plate of food. read more

Really hungry and didn't want to drive too far so we decided to try this spot close to home. The oxtails were plentiful, and equally delicious. I have never got so many in an order in my life. They were kinda tomato based, so very different than Caribbean- but still tasty. The rice was perfectly cooked an the beans were seasoned just right. The Dominican fried chicken was also tasty, it appeared to be burnt- however that was definitely a disguise because it was super juicy inside. The yellow rice was also delicious. Plantains were sweet and perfectly cooked. The empanadas were ok, cheese better than the chicken. They have daily specials and oxtails being the Friday special so it's safe to say we will frequent here on Friday to get one of my favorite dishes read more

It's dinner night out and Christopher and I were looking for something different tonight and of course hard decisions lead to Yelp! Tonight we ordered the Saturday specials. I had the Stewed Chicken with yellow rice and black beans and Christopher had the Pork Shoulder with yellow rice and black beans and we shared a chicken empanada. Everything tasted delicious and was prepared in great time. Wait staff were very friendly and gave us the privacy I needed. Had enough to take home for later tonight when my munchies kick in lol. I said mid meal I'd bring someone back here with me. Thanks for the good food and service. read more

Sabor Caribeño - Stewed chicken with yellow rice and black beans - Latin American Near Me - Norfolk, Virginia

My first time visiting Virginia and we were looking for a restaurant with delicious local Dominican food. In the description of your restaurant everything looks very good, the thing is when you arrive at the restaurant it looks like a drink bar not at all familiar and the food is not Dominican as they say it is all Salvadorans. When we ordered it was nice, it didn't have anything, in the end we ordered some very bad pastor tacos and a roasted meat that luckily was good. The children's menu didn't have anything either, we ended up ordering french fries with tenders and the potatoes were not well cooked the tenders tasted horrible. To top it off, they didn't give us the order complete and I was expensive.The waitress was very kind. I don't recommend this place at all. read more

Truly a hole in a the wall with great food. From having lived up north, the open kitchen and mom and pop style restaurant is prominent in the Spanish community so it was all too familiar. Spanish music playing in the background and Spanish being spoken, it's bringing me all back to that time. Now for the food- shrimp Mofongo, mangu and Morri Sonando. The Shrimp was big and plentiful and the plantains was packed with flavor. The Mangu was also a great combination of fried cheese, fried eggs, salami, pickled onions and more plantains. From what I was told it is a Dominican staple that you will only find on a Dominican menu. The Morri Sonando was my favorite thing! The combination of milk and orange juice is a great concoction! The drink wasn't too sweet and very refreshing! This place is a true Dominican restaurant and can't wait to go again! read more

Really liked this place. Great Dominican food. As a NY native, it really feels like a neighborhood place you'd find in the Bronx. Being walking distance from my house, we will return. Tucked right off Little Creek, on Sewells Point near the Walmart, its easy to miss, but worth finding. The mofongo was fantastic, just enough spiciness and sweetness for a great balance. The carnitas that came along were really well-seasoned and tender and juicy in the middle. We also tried the Domincam stew. It was simple, but had a nice flavor. It was a blend of chickem, pork, plantain, corn, and potatoes. Definitely look forward to exploring the rest of the menu.. read more

Went there for lunch after the recommendation from the ladies at Elegante Hair. The food was excellent and tasted like it was cooked in the home kitchen of the warmest Caribbean lady. The oxtail was tender, well seasoned and best of all fairly priced I will definitely go back and would recommend it to the world read more

It's alright. Not the best. Chicken empanadas were very small and dry. Stewed chicken tasted a little like vinegar, but was flavorful. Looks like the older pictures/reviews for this restaurant were written when the restaurant was owned by a different owner. read more

This is the first time I have ever had Dominican food. Omg it was delicious. We went in to try mangu which we have heard a lot about. We were not disappointed. They have two different kinds. We had the one made of yuca. We weren't sure which one to try. So the nice lady let us try the yuca and it was delicious. On top of the mangu they had a pickled onion. It came with two eggs, sausages, and fried cheese. The fried cheese was SO GOOD!!!!!!!! They give you so much food. I wasn't able to finish mine. The people were so sweet and friendly. When we're on our way to leave they were beginning to set up their lunch menu. The food looked so AMAZING. Being Puerto Rican I noticed the pernil and he let me have a sample and put a sauce on top. WOW!!! It was so juicy. We will be coming back to try the lunch menu. I highly recommend the mangu we had today and from tasting the sample we were given the pernil as well. read more

Good food. Friendly staff. Good vibe. Unfortunately way too many fire flies. Not sure why.

This place is ripped me off today. I ordered from the menu two empanadas priced a $3 each on that menu and a small cup of black beans priced at $2.50. That should have totaled $8.50, but when the check came I was charged instead $13.00 for them (state and local tax were on top of that). When I protested I was told that the prices had gone up that the empanadas were actually $4.50 each and the beans were actually $4.00. I was not in the mood to fight this so I paid and left, but I will never go back there. read more

The food looks great, However it doesn't taste good at all, just to say it gave me heart burn. BLAND. Beans were taste less, chicken was hard and triple fry. They have barely anything from the menu, forcing you to pick from the food that was sitting in the counter. Pork was very acidic. Empanada had no cheese. Ask for water and got water bottles so they can charge. If you are dominican or Puerto Rican this is not the place for you to visit. It seems to me like they dont use fresh pepper, cilantro, garlic or onions instead alot of powders. Service was not good at all. My receipt came out more than the advertised price. read more

Food is delicious! The staff is very friendly and prices are good. I'm from NYC and the food reminds me of home!

Thoroughly enjoyed the meal here earlier tonight! My partner and I ordered the Pork Shoulder and Stewed Chicken both served with yellow rice and black beans. The flavors of both were amazing! We agreed we will definitely be back! read more

This place is amazing. Growing up in Miami FL I miss the Hispanic food. This place brings me home. Staff is amazing and the food.... omg! So much flavor. You can taste the love. Now I try to come at least once a week. This gringo loves his Dominican food. read more

In the kitchen you have a few Dominican and Mexican cooks, and I would be perfectly happy if they would just come live at my house. This is the food I remember growing up with that I haven't been able to find yet in Hampton Roads. I'm pretty sure I embarrassed myself with the amount of food I ordered in my excitement. As usual, let's be honest. Mofongo. Legit. Pollo asado. Moist and flavorful. Chicharon. Crispy joy. I even loved the arroz. This place is small, and tucked up back behind the new Sam's Club. Dine in seating and takeout. The space is humble but comfortable and clean. Telenovela on the tv, lively conversation, extremely pleasant service. There are two options for food. You can either order off the buffet (lunch specials starting at $8.75) or you can order off their menu. Be prepared for things to run out. There wasn't enough of a serving for pernil a to-go order, so you know I had them throw what was left over into a Cuban sandwich. read more

On the 7th of Feb. 2019, we arrived not very warm service. Food was cooked and ready to serve on plates. Oxtail, (good) white rice (fresh) and pinto beans.( too much caldo not enough habichuelas) I was satisfied. Now the Pollo guisado.... well my friend said it was good but it was orange same color as the rice! Somebody take the Sazon or the Annato from them! Overall, was ok/good would taste better if served with a smile and a warm welcome. Oh and a salad on the side. read more

Hands down the best Dominican food in this area!! Never disappoints!! So glad to have found this spot

Dominican! It's hard to find specific culture foods in Virginia. But when you do, it's an excitement. And when the find is great, you can't help but to tell everyone about it. My first time here was in 2015 before they started construction. The the food was amazing enough to make the list of places I regularly go to on my lunch break. Here I am, after a two year break and unable to remember Sabor's location, and the food is made with just as much love. This time under construction and on the path to inviting a larger crowd for music and alcohol at BOOTH SEATING (The owner says the are in the process of getting their liquor license). I try to invite someone with me every time I go, and it's always the same result. They love it, and eat themselves into a over satisfying coma because the portions are huge. Breakfast, lunch, or dinner, I'm here! read more

I been looking for a Dominican restaurant for quite some time here. This place is just as authentic as it gets. I had a sancocho , empanadas with arroz con guandules, with tostones ofcourse. The food was simply delicious. I'm definitely coming back for more here. Best part is that menu changes per day so there's always something new, you can always call ahead and find out what the menu of the day is. You won't regret coming here. read more
