Labor Latino Taqueria is located in an older shopping plaza. The inside is half devoted to their ice cream and the other half is the taqueria and it visibly changes ambiance in the middle of the room. Nothing terrible, but an interesting vibe nonetheless. The people working here are extremely friendly and helpful. They definitely added to the overall experience. I kind of expected more of a Mexican restaurant vibe, but this is more a fast-food or quick service restaurant vibe. Again, nothing wrong with it, but a realistic statement and being a fast-food or quick service restaurant actually elevated them to five stars because I judged them by that standard. The prices are very good. I went with a burrito and was generally pleased. It was about ten dollars before tax and all. If you are in the area, give them a try. I.do not think you will be disappointed. read more

Best Mexican food (possibly best food - full stop!) in Athens. Went to a Mexican restaurant downtown yesterday. "Americanized" Mexican. For real, delicious Mexican, Sabor is it! Friendly, efficient service. Excellent price. I had huevos and got a torta for later. All excellent. Nice salsa and chips too. I'll be back next time I'm in Athens. read more

Just coming back to say, this is my favorite restaurant in town and I would do a for these chips and salsa. read more

The staff was friendly. I ordered tacos and a sope. The sope was crunchy just the way I like it. Taco meat had a good flavor. The green salsa is really tasty! Gracias! read more

Sunday, Oct. 20, 2019-What happened? After ordering, my food it finally came out 30 minutes later, but not before asking several times for it. All seven of my friends had already finished their meals. One plate was supposed to be chicken enchilada #29 with no red sauce, but it did have red sauce, my friend told the server, the server took the food back then a minute later brought the same dish back. Everyone's tortillas were chewy. The restaurant was only half full. Bright side, They did give all eight of us a free dessert each. This was so embarrassing for me because I bragged at how great the food and service was on Friday. I suggest get more help on Sundays and the kitchen brush up on getting the food order correct. Friday, Oct. 18, 2019-Real authentic Mexican food at an all inexpensive price. The wait was only five minutes. The staff was very friendly. The menu had 39 items to choose from. The price was very reasonable. This will be our go to Mexican restaurant. The chips and salsa was great. They also have a huge desert menu to choose from. read more

The service is good. The food is good as well for if you wanted something quick. They do do Menudo on the weekends. The restaurant itself is kept clean and maintained. I would recommend this spot for sure! read more

Great authentic mexican food. Located in a small strip mall. They have everything from : gorditas, tacos and enchiladas to nachos, quesadillas, carnitas plates and breakfast. Their tortilla chips are thick and delicious - and go perfect with their homemade guacamole. Everything is homemade. They have a small kitchen that 2 people work in. I highly recommend! The street tacos and quesadilla are the best. read more

Sabor Latino Taqueria - Mexican Near Me - Athens, Alabama

From LA originally. There are a lot of Hispanic restaurants in northern AL but most of them are terrible because they cater to white people's tastes. This place is actually good though and the only place that has Jamaica and horchata that I've found. read more

Truly amazing food!! Price is on point and so is the owners. Definitely will be my go to place.

This place is delicious, made me a California burrito that I haven't had since I left the southwest. I highly recommend this place. I will be back. read more

Terrible customer service!! We placed an order for Tacos Al Pastor without onions. The clerk did not write down no onions so the tacos came with onion. When I took the tacos to the counter the clerk said she would not correct the order. I would have to buy more tacos since she did not write the no onions down I never said it. So not only was lunch ruined I was called a liar. If I could I would give them a negative 5 stars. Someone needs to teach them about customer service and how to keep your customers. read more

Amazing food! Best chips! This place screams hole in the wall and it didn't disappoint.

This is authentic Mexican food, not the Tex-Mex cuisine that most people are used to, thus the reviews complaining about the food. If you don't want real, Central Mexican food just go to Taco Bell, mmmm-kay? read more

They make some really great food. Tacos, burrito bowls, quesadillas-all on point. Mango cups are also so great!!! My main complaint is the salsa, salsa is very important to me...and theirs reminded me more of marinara sauce?? Very thick, no spice. Chips are good, more thick than your average tortilla chip but I dig it. read more

Really enjoyed several of the dishes so far; both the Gordita and the sope are wonderful, tamales were ok but would be much better if you got them right out of the steamer, tacos are good and great for a light meal, and several things on our "to try" list! The asada and al pastor are really good and though lengua is usually my favorite, theirs was a bit dry and tough- but that could be because it was late on a Sunday evening that we got the takeout. So I will try again, same with the tamales. Looking forward to trying more here. Service is good and relatively quick. read more

Still the best and most authentic place in Athens, and I love the prices. My favorite place to always visit.

Small hole in wall type restaurant. Food authentic and good. No atmosphere. Price great and food great. That's it

This is my favorite restaurant in Athens! Highest quality food for the best price. Tacos are literally $1 each. Great atmosphere, authentic food, and the staff is always warm and welcoming. I lived in LA, and the tacos are better at sabor Latino than any place in LA. if you haven't already tried this place you're missing out. read more

Very good, friendly staff, and prices are great! Highly recommend. Just wish they stayed opened longer

Sabor Latino started out as a taco truck then graduated into a small restaurant. This is not your typical Americanized Mexican food. Although they have added some "Americanized" items to their menu as they have gotten more popular. Chips and salsa are extra but the chips don't come out of a bag. They are made to order. The salsa is thin but has flavor. My go to item is the Chicken Fajita Wrap and a "Mexican Coke" (bottled in Mexico and made with real sugar). Add their green sauce to the Fajita Wrap and it becomes a sublime experience. read more

Very good food, very good value. I love the fact I can get free refills on Aguas de Horchata y Piña... I love this place!

Hands down - without a doubt - the worst Mexican food ever made. Ordered through GrubSouth - the cheese dip is thin, tastes like its mixed with dish water. I don't know how to describe the chips - thick and not good. The quesadilla was like a greasy, bready taco. I was going to call and complain but from reading other negative reviews - they know and don't care. read more

i love this place! it is always reliable. i get the las tres compadres which is rice and cheese with shrimp, chicken, and steak. the shrimp are the perfect size and the rice is great. i recommend this to my friends every chance i get. read more

Definitely a great little hole in the wall. Fast and delicious authentic Mexican food.

If you're looking for authentic Mexican food, Sabor Latino is probably the closest you'll get around here.

Love Sabor Latino! Not the average american Mexican cuisine. It is authenic food. I have loved everything I've tried, but must say chicken tacos with lime and green sauce is my absolute favorite. read more

Went there May 1, 2019. I have been there 5 times. The 4th visit the food was cool and not served hot. We ate there. This last visit was not good. I told the lady please see the food is served hot. She said ok. Well it was rather cold again The cheese did not even melt. MY Son ordered number 21, chicken. He got ground beef and chicken. Did not give a refund or offer to remake it. The lady knew it was made wrong and still served it to us. I ordered chip and salsa. The chips had grease dripping off of them. In the middle of the night I had bathroom issues along with throwing up 5 times. I am wondering if the food was bad since not served hot. AND they are opening another one. Lord help you. I will not return again. I was very embarrassed taking an out of town visitor who also was stomach issues later that evening too. It. Appeared to be the cooks running the place that day. read more
