The empanadas are really good. The meal deals are better tasting, cheaper, and more food than if you were to go to fast food. I definitely appreciate when restaurants offer good prices. Service was friendly. I'll definitely go again read more

good customer service and very nice people, food was great and very fresh home style, the nice is always clean and friendly environmen.

We walked in for the 99¢ kids meal on Wednesday special and were very excited to see how friendly the staff is. They are super friendly with the kids and try to look for the best way to save you some money bundling things together. The food is delicious and fresh! Thanks so much! The restaurant is very clean and in a great location. read more

I came for lunch on a Wednesday and was warmly greeted when I entered. The service is very friendly and quick. I ordered a Sabor Especial Burrito with chorizo, and they definitely pack the chorizo with a good amount of spice, which I appreciate. The burrito also had rice, beans, lettuce, sour cream, pico, and guacamole. Good flavors and generous portions. It was very filling and reasonably priced for the size of the burrito. That's all I had for lunch and was very satisfied with the amount. It is a great location near the Southpoint area and parking was easy to find. There was plenty of indoor seating, the bathroom was clean, and the ambiance is very casual with TVs playing in the background. It's pretty kid- and family-friendly. Other items on the menu sounded interesting, so I hope to return and try more items on the menu. read more

Sabor's beef and Barbacoa empanadas are amazing, so flavorful. They also have a great customer service! Melvin even gave me free churros for my birthday! I would recommend 100% read more

I went here for lunch for lunch today-my first time coming in! My lil sister has been plenty of times and recommended the spot and I'm so glad that we came in. It's not a very big space, great customer service when we walked up to order. My sister ordered the kids meal; a chicken quesadilla that came with a drink and she ordered a side of French fries. I ordered the birria taco meal and the they were delicious! I got myself a fountain drink and it came with some tortilla chips that were great. I loved the variety of options at the salsa bar. I thought they were very reasonably priced and I am looking forward to going back and trying more menu items. My sister even shared with me that they have a kids eat free night. Thank you for a great lunch experience!!! read more

Solid place. We get the Cuban bowls regularly & they have lots of tasty ingredients, textures & flavors. They also have great specials (like huge nachos to-go for the Super Bowl), which entices us to branch out from our usual orders. I always get their chips & queso and both are so good! I'm only knocking a star off because I've been getting the al pastor as an extra protein on my Cuban bowls (like in addition to the proteins it comes with) and it's been kind of gristly lately. But everything else has been so great! Also it's worth noting that the staff is so nice, friendly, and helpful. Go give it a try! read more

Can't find any fault and I'm definitely a picky person. The food was great, the serving sizes were pretty good. The service was super super nice and attentive even though it's a counter order system. Clean tables and the margs were great for $6?! Can't beat that. I have an empanada with chicken and chips and a coconut tajin marg and a strawberry marg. Both were good and didn't skimp on the alcohol but not overwhelmingly alcoholic. Really enjoyed the visit! read more

No wonder this restaurant has 600 reviews and a nearly perfect score. We stopped by and we're assisted by Andreas. His service was impeccable, the way he greeted us was one that made us feel welcome and his assistance while navigating the menu was extremely helpful. It was our first time so we didn't know what to expect. He gave suggestions as well as told us all about the business. The way he engaged with us. You think he was the owner. After eating, he came over and brought games for the kids to play and made them feel right at home. We look forward to coming back and supporting this business. If the owner reads this message, though you have an amazing team, and Andreas is at the head of it doing great work at the front counter. read more

Had a late impromptu drive to our daughters in Durham to help her out with an issue and grabbed dinner from this place. She had never heard of it even though she's been in the area for several years but the food and service were exceptional. Again I really love places where the employees go out of their way to be friendly and helpful and this place did not disappoint. We ordered the taco box family meal and I wasn't really sure what to expect but it came with several different sides and three proteins and tortilla chips and tortillas and we ordered extra churros and some queso dip. When I got to the restaurant to pick it up I'm sure the look on my face was quite hysterical because when I first saw the size of the box that I was taking home I thought it was enough food for about 50 people. All of it tasted like it was very fresh and it was very warm the tortillas were definitely housemade and everything was really good. As a bonus they have a salsa bar where you can try about six different types of salsa that they make. The food here was as good as any Latin restaurant that you would sit down in but it was very convenient to just be able to run up there and pick it up and bring it back to my daughter's apartment. I know she will definitely visit this place again because it's only a few miles from where she lives. read more

"Good strip mall Mexican food, efficient for takeout" I was in the neighborhood and saw the positive Yelp reviews, so I ordered takeout from here to give it a shot for a Thursday night dinner. The food was prepared really quickly (I was there in just a few minutes), and it was ready upon arrival. I got the Sabor Especial Burrito, without sour cream, and it hit the spot perfectly. Guacamole was good, chicken tasted fresh, and all mixed well. Size was good too-- just what I needed. I'm curious about other more nuanced selection items, like arepas, but didn't try them this time. Short review, since this was a straightforward hit, but I'd happily get it again. Not the best Mexican food in town, but for easy, fast, accurate, affordable takeout, it's perfect. read more

The place is clean and well organized. We were a large party and they quickly put tables together to accommodate us. I had the arepas and they were huge and loaded with flavor. Several of us had shrimp tacos and the shrimp was bountiful and really tasty. Service with a smile with quality ingredients. Recommend! read more

I was on the way to my favorite coffee shop for a sandwich and some writing, but passed SABOR and thought "Why not?" When you enter, the counter to order is straight ahead, with a case of beers and specialty drinks behind the glass. I chose a bottle of XX Amber. There are about ten 4-top tables and booths set up in a random pattern. To the right there is a salsa bar and a soft drink machine. It is very clean, with no trash on floors or tables. On this Monday late afternoon, I was one of three groups, so it was pretty quiet. They have a very extensive menu and can make pretty much anything you want with Latin flavors - bowls, arepas, tacos, burritos, whatever. I got the elote and their quesobirria, which is two tacos de birria with cheese griddled inside. The tacos were served with a cup of birria chili sauce, which had plenty of chunks and flavor. Dipping the fresh corn tacos into the sauce and enjoying all the deep flavor was amazing. Two for $10. The elote was nicely done and very good, but it didn't taste grilled. It was served with the corn sweet and the toppings thick, but it tasted like the corn was just steamed or boiled, not charred on a grill. $5 Altogether with tip, it was just over $20. I left very full, but it seemed like a lot for the money. Or maybe I just was still irritated about the corn not being grilled. I'm sure I'll be back. Wish they had WiFi so I could work here with a beer and nachos. read more

Went here multiple times for their Taco Tuesday special (discounted basic tacos) but their more special, more loaded tacos are more satisfying. The regular beef taco we had was bland; we tasted better quality ones from a taco truck that serves this kind of taco. In out latest, when we went to order, the El Salvadorian cashier was energetically friendly, and answered my girl's questions well. We ordered 5 tacos in total (4 regular beef, and the more special $4 Shrimp), a shredded beef empanada, and chips. They have a self-serve salsa bar similar to Moe's with 5 different salsas, placed from mild to spiciest, and we usually get some of the first 3. There were a couple of times where they ran out of 1 of them, and had to ask. While one instance was positive as the employee got some for us from the back, the other instance was disappointing as they said that they're completely out. They serve the food to our table, bringing the round metal trays with disposable sheets. We were disappointed with the overall quality of beef tacos - beef lacked spice. Tortilla was thick as the beef tacos we ordered from a taco truck but despite the similar cost, Sabor's version lacks the "sabor" we crave for. The higher-end Shrimp taco was better and probably pairs well with a Mexican beer. Their nachos are well-seasoned and fresh, one of the best we've tried, even better than Chipotle's or Taco Bell's. Restaurant quality and goes well with queso and salsa. They also have more special nachos with more toppings. We ordered them before and they're large enough to share with a small group and perfect for mini get-togethers with beer. Tried their queso a few times before - it was alright. Barbacoa (shredded beef) empanada was crispy and delicious, larger than Makus' tiny empanadas. It comes with a special mayo sauce which we didn't really enjoy. The empanada is one of their better items. The food here is more Latin Southern American than Mexican. Other than their tacos, they have a great variety of street style Latin foods like plantains, Salvador fries, taco bowls, burritos, and quesadillas. I would not recommend the burritos - tried once and never tried again, but quesadillas are not bad. My girl enjoyed the plantains which come with cheese and sour cream. Our first few experiences here were more pleasant than our more recent ones. It's in an accessible location, close to South Point mall, in a prime corner of 1 of the 2 shopping centers facing each other, right across a City BBQ and near Shiki Sushi & Milklab. Sabor's ambiance and space somewhat feel like Waffle House's - clear windows and simple layout, fine for a fast food taco place like this. Overall, we have mixed feelings about Sabor. It's definitely better than Taco bell; its menu is more interesting and more diverse than Moe's but their basic beef tacos should be at least as good or better than what you can get from a taco truck. If you enjoy nachos, quesadillas, plantains, and El Salvadorian fries, this place won't disappoint. Sabor's Chimi Shrimp taco is probably the best taco here; the others are questionable. Tried the fish taco once and as a fish taco lover, I was disappointed. Nonetheless, with its salsa bar and friendly staff, Sabor's street style experience is worth trying with a bottle of beer. It's not our #1 choice if we're craving for Mexican but it's not a lackluster place for casual dining, and looks mostly fairly-priced for the amount. Overall score: 3.5/5 based on our most recent visits. read more

Sabor is so delicious! We love the empanadas. Super friendly employees. We will keep coming back!

Located in a strip mall with plenty of parking. Small location not many tables but not super busy when we visited for a late lunch. Also maybe they have a lot of to go orders? Ordered arepa (chicken), empanadas (chicken, beef chorizo and barbacoa), Gordita (al pastor) and plantains. Everything was made to order, hot and fresh and tasted great. Good flavor. The plantains were awesome thick cut and sweet.. Highly recommend this place and when I am back in NC I'll return for sure. Staff/service was fast and friendly read more

Got some takeout yesterday from Sabor Latin Street Grill and everything was very tasty. I'd go a lot more often if only I lived closer.

We were in town visiting some family and needed a good casual spot for lunch. I got the Thursday special, which is an empanada and an arepa. I also got a Mojito as my drink. Everything was great, especially the Empanada. Additionally, the portions are pretty large, so this was plenty for me to eat for lunch. The employees were also kind and helpful as we ordered. read more

This was our first time trying Sabor and we are so happy we found this place! We will definitely be back and add this to our rotation. All the food was delicious and we enjoyed our dining-in experience. Our daughter said she was going to rate her taco on a scale of 1-20 before taking a bite. She happily declared it a 100! read more

First time coming here to check out their menu and overall a lot of great quality options. They have different protein options that you can pair with any of their food options. I got the Americano and classic tacos with veggies and tofu. They were a great food option and when it's paired with the salsa, it makes it even better. They also have other options, such as burritos, a variety of desserts, and street food. Atmosphere was good. There was plenty of seating and the staff was friendly. They also have a salsa bar and plenty of drinks. The prices were reasonable and there was plenty of parking. Overall, I definitely want to come back to this place. I also really want to try the churros and the yucca fries. They also have a variety of drinks, which I think would be good to pair with your food. read more

This order-at-the-counter place has only been open a few weeks, but they run it like they've been doing it for years. The menu is simple, and the prices are good! For a recent lunch, I ordered two chicken autentico tacos and one shrimp taco (they changed the flour tortilla to corn at my request). All were good, but the shrimp taco stood out, and I'd definitely order more next time. My friend ordered a build-your-own chorizo burrito and loved it, especially with sauces from the sauce bar. He didn't share his yuca fries, but he said they were crisp and good. The place is clean and bright, with lots of seating considering the space. Service was fast and friendly and our table was even cleared for us. I definitely hope we get to go back soon! read more

I had a create your own burrito with shredded chicken and chorizo and it was the best burrito that I have ever had. It had a ton of flavor and so good. This is my new go to spot. The person that helped me was also super friendly. read more

First time there. Customer service was amazing. The salsas were really good especially the pineapple except for the Green Monster which tasted way too burnt. Al Pastor burrito was so good. Carne asada fries were average and kinda soggy. The meat was bad quality. The guac on it was so good though. Would definitely come back and try other things too. read more

Delicious food for a great price. I'm glad I ordered from here after passing by it so many times. Highly recommend.

I've struggled to find good Mexican food since I moved here, and so I am so glad that I took a chance and went to Sabor. Sabor is located at the end of a long strip mall sporting a few tables and a self-serve salsa bar. I was greeted by a very sweet guy who gave me the low down on the menu. I decided to get an al pastor taco, chicken Taco, chips, and large beans. While I waited I checked out their salsa bar that was a mixture of mild, spicy, and hot sauces. I got a couple of red sauces, a Pico de gallo, and firey green salsa that I mixed with some of the Pico. Once my food came out all I could say was wow! So authentic, juicy, and yummy! All of my taste buds were on a super serious high and I did not want to come down. I loved that the food was not super salty and just tasted so delicious! I cannot wait to come back for their Taco Tuesday specials so I can try more of their tacos! Such an amazing spot! read more

Wow. When we walked in I was reconsidering my decision. Not the best decor and seemed more of a dive than I was expecting. You order at the counter. The guy taking the orders wasn't the most knowledgeable (we had a discussion of what gluten free meant) but he was really nice and seemed intent on us getting what we wanted/needed. She had the quinoa avocado bowl, guacamole and I had the El Dominick Burrito. Holy cow. This was incredible. Everything clearly made fresh. Possibly the best burrito I've ever had. While my wife ate hers, she didn't talk the entire time (what????)!!!!! She was talking again about the guacamole today. The place is about 30 minutes from our house - I can already tell I'm going to be driving hour round trip for Mexican. Yes. I'm serious. THAT good. If you are ANYWHERE close - give this place a try. You won't regret it! read more

food is my favorite in Durham! Affordable and yummy. everyone is super nice and attentive

This was a delicious no-nonsense spot to grab a weekend lunch with a friend. Between the two of us, we only made it through the first two menu items before ordering because everything looked delicious! After ordering, we got to explore the salsa bar, which had quite the variety of flavors and spice levels--a rare treat in the world after the introduction of Covid. As we sat and waited for our food, we got a chance to further peruse the menu and man, I wish I was a cow with 4 stomachs because there were SO MANY options that looked delicious!! And cocktails?! I loved that there was such a variety for all sorts of dietary preferences and restrictions without making anyone feel like they were choosing from any kind of limited menu! When the food came (5-7 minutes later), it was FRESH and omg so delicious! The yucca was fried to perfection and reminded me of Caribbean food back home. My only regret was not taking advantage of the daily margarita special, but don't you worry, I'll be back! read more

First time here. I got the Epic Bowl and a side of chips. Everything was delicious, the server was very nice. You order at the counter then they bring it to your table. For fast food, the ambiance was great. Fresh brewed real iced tea and soda machine for drinks. They also had some alcoholic beverages. There's a free salsa bar with 6 different kinds of salsa. Definitely worth a try!! read more
