I love supporting small businesses, so I thought I'd give this one a try for lunch. The poor guy working the front of the house was nice however he was the only person waiting about 7-8 tables and doing cashier for to-go orders. I ordered a cheese quesadilla with sour cream, rice and beans. Unfortunately, the order took 40 minutes to make, the quesadilla was small, they forgot the sour cream, the rice was just plain white rice and the beans were okay but nothing to write home to mom about. Sorry, but the whole experience was super disappointing and not worth the time nor the $15 that it cost!! read more

Food was amazing!! Family atmosphere, clean and service was great. Prices not bad for large portions. read more

If not for Matthew T., we would have never discovered Sabor Latino. Yep, it is a typical scary Bradenton shopping center next to a Bingoland. There are local rednecks drinking beer in the parking lot at 2:30 in the afternoon. So we knew this was going to be another adventure. As soon as we got out of the car, we would hear joyous Latin music blasting from the speaker on the front of the restaurant. I started to get really excited to see what is inside. We found a seat in the back right next to the open kitchen. There is a very Brooklyn/Queens* vibe about the place because the tap water is served at room temperature and the sodas are served in a can with a straw. Sabor Latino is a Columbian restaurant, but they also serve dishes from Peru, Honduras, Mexico, and Puerto Rico. They have warmed Pandebonos! Which is a soft cheese roll made mostly with cheese mixed with tapioca flour and cornmeal. They are only $1 each so we ate two as an appetizer and ordered four more to take home for later. I have had the Brazilian version of this bread, and was so happy to see that there is also a Colombian version. And the front of the menu showed their Colombian specialty the Bandeja Paisa (which means Platter from the Paisa region). If you google this dish, it is typical of the information you would find online. The dish is similar to an English Breakfast with beans, eggs, sausages--- but with rice, and various other accompaniments. "Are you sure you want the blood sausage?" the waitress asked. Yep, I wanted to taste the food as served to everyone. The blood sausage was crumbly, but very delicious because it was loaded with spices. The chorizo, on the other hand, had the vibrant flavor of a hot dog. These were served with flat seared steak and fried pork with skin. The pork was sitting in beans, so it became quite wet and rubbery. My husband ordered the best dish so far, which was the Mofongo with Carne Frita. The mofongo was not the highlight of this dish--- but the carne frita was lick-your-plate good. It is fried pork chunks that have been marinated in a sour sauce and seared on the flat top with onions. The flavor is so vibrant that I just kept going in for more. Next time, I want to try one of their many seafood dishes served with a cream base. They also have delicious looking desserts and Arepas with various fillings. Available is also an assortment of bottled beers, many which I have never heard of. *Only slightly-cold or room temperature drinks, we started referring to as "New York Cold, " being sarcastic. The Hipsters would eat Sabor Latino up, they pay top dollar for Arepas. I remember eating an Arepa dinner one night that was around $130 for 3 people. read more

I stumbled into this cozy Spanish restaurant by accident in my lunch break from work and I decided to stop by. Their service was very fast and friendly. They were patient with my food requests. And have never messed up an order. I like to make my own menu, and had all I asked for and more. Also, great prices! Specially their lunch specials for $6.99. Their pork chops, rice and beans with maduro plantains was to die for! Their bandeja paisa and paisa lunch a Colombian specialty has a mix of flavors that will remind you of your mom's or grandma home cooking regardless where you come from. Their dishes has this hearty warm flavor I enjoy so much. Don't be deterred by their location. It's just a casual family diner/ restaurant with a nice friendly staff. Check them out! read more

How can this place not be reviewed yet? It seems like I've seen the sign for it for years. While it is in a rundown sort of nearly empty icky strip mall on 41 north of the airport is probably part of the reason this hasn't been reviewed yet. Which is a shame. What is more criminal is the fact I didn't try it sooner. I tried the Bandeja Paise, for two main reasons, fried pork belly with the skin still on and some chorizo. This dish is actually a ton of food and meat heavy as it comes with a bit of steak (thinly sliced), rice and beans, a nicely cooked runny egg and sweet plantains. One meal for the entire day! Every thing was yummy. The salsa had a good kicked and mixed in with anything on the plate added a great dimension. The pork was amazing, the chorizo was ok, I've had better. Really loved the rice and beans and hard to beat a runny egg on rice to counter balance the other yummy bits or a bite of the belly. Didn't need to eat for a day after this. The waitress was supper friendly and just a comfortable friendly, welcoming place. So don't let the scary strip mall run you off, Try this nice hole in the wall. This review is based on one visit but I know I'll be back. Got to go back and try a few other things! read more

Sabor Latino - Bandeja yummyness. And yes the pork was delish - Peruvian Near Me - Bradenton, Florida

So I want to rate this 3.5 - 4 stars. With that being said, I will encourage everyone to try this spot at least once. I stumbled upon this place trying to get to Zuriel. As someone said, do not be deterred by the location. There's ample parking. And you can find it located next to the dollar tree, super convenient in case you need to grab something on your way back to work. My order was Lomo Saltado, two pupusas, and cafe con lèche. The coffee was good, I did feel that I have had better pupusas. The lomo saltado was great, the beef was soft, but there was a lot of rice and French fries compared to the actual beef and tomato stew for $11.99. If I could've had just 1/3rd more of the stew it would've been fair in my opinion. This is my first review of this place, and I always try a place twice before I give a final review. Looking forward to it. read more

Went Dec 9th, 2018, 3 person party, the seafood soup dinner chewy but both tasted good. The churrasco served w great seafood sauce however the **red meat was **chewy, veiny all throughout, not a single bite was swallowable, the pieces I kelp cutting w the knife were tough. I brought half home because the pink sauce was good yet the meat again was unbearable & unbreakable to eat. The rice did not do it for me I ether, lacked flavor. This restaurant is not like it used to be. I don't mind location much if the food is good, but that is not the case anymore. Sad b/c the portions & the presentation is good. Also the food wasn't hot in temperature, barely warm was served. I hope they get ship shape the kitchen for that is the reason they would have customers. Best of luck! read more

I'm South American and always crave good latin home cooking, and this place HIT THE SPOT! Awesome home flavor and variety of Colombian, Central American and Caribbean plates. The sea food steak (churrasco marinero) and the sancocho (beef soup) were a home run. PS. Finish with a 3 leches dessert! read more

Terrible service. Asked 3 times for lemon before finally getting it. Server was not personable at all. Had to keep asking for other things multiple times. Rice was cold. Asked for a 2nd side of rice, specified for it to be hot this time and still got it cold yet again...no AC, table felt dirty. Oh and the Horchata drink is diluted water with sugar. Terrible. If I could give it 0 stars I would. read more

Terrible service...Didn't get what I ordered couldn't take it back because it was during my lunch break but did call and they said they couldn't do anything. read more

Hate to review a place before I try the food there, I am sure that it is very good and the previous reviews had me salivating. I found out that they deliver and was super excited, but had to be disappointed due to the fact that they don't speak to you if you don't know Spanish and unfortunately no one at the office speaks Spanish so all ten of us had to settle for pizza again for lunch :( Oh well ... will see if I get a chance to drive up there to try the food someday. read more

Food was absolutely delicious and had so much flavor. We ordered the mofongo with shrimp scampi (my absolute favorite dish!), bistec encebollado, yucca fries, and a chicken tenders kids meal. The yucca fries were huge and delicious but weren't as crunchy as I expected but they were good. They looked more like mozzarella sticks. The chicken tenders kids meal had a lot of fries and about 6-7 strips of tiny chicken tenders. This was disappointing but they really were delicious as the crust was seasoned very well. My favorite dish was the mofongo with shrimp scampi ($10.99). It was really delicious and flavorful. I highly recommend it. We will definitely be back. read more

OUT OF THIS WORLD LATIN FOOD. I took my wife, who is Panamainian and she loved it. She said it's food like this that makes her home sick. All the food was flavorful, well made, quality food and authentic. I had the Bandeja Paisa. Incredible, It consisted of a small pork steak, a chorizo sausage a fried pork rind with meat, rice, beans and saweet plantains. I passed on the egg on top. ONLY $9.95. Each bite was better than the last. Tastes, I thought you would get only in that country. The menu was in both english and spanish and the waitress, Jenny, spoke perfect english and spanish. My beer of chice was a Presidente $3.50. Bud was $2.50. EXCELLENT MEAL ALL THE WAY AROUND, PRICES, QUANTITY AND QUALITY. A REAL SLICE OF HEAVEN. YOU REALLY OWE IT TO YOURSELF TO TRY IT. read more
