    Met a friend for a drink. They make really good margaritas!! We also spilt the steak and another tapas. Everything was good. The steak was perfectly cooked to medium rare. The place had a steady clientele. The World Cup was on the TV and popular. I recommend!

    Fun place for happy hour! Was a little worried at first because our drinks were very slow to come out, but after catching the server's eye, she hustled them out - and the spicy margarita was delicious. What stood out, too, was the food. Really tasty small plates to complement a happy hour! We ordered three: charcuterie board, garlicky shrimp, and stuffed piquillo peppers, all of which were terrific. (Normally I want larger shrimp, but these were cooked perfectly, so no notes!) Atmosphere was joyful and light. Liked the good vibes and friendly staff. Would return.

    Came for happy hour and enjoyed a nice and calm tapas meal. The ambiance was really pretty, decorated to celebrate the world cup. The service was okay, the waitress didn't come to the table often so we had to wait for her return often even though it wasn't too many people dining. Would return though because the food was flavorful and fresh.

    A tasty all you can eat brunch with great items and mimosa deal! I enjoyed most of what I ordered except for perhaps the picada, which was still good but a bit too salty for my liking. Pleasantly surprised with the other dishes though. Service was kind and attentive, especially with food allergies. Place wasn't packed when we came too which surprised me. I do want to try this spot again!

    Asparagus romanesco, very tasty

    Such an amazing brunch! I'm not usually into all you can eat but theirs is a good value and has a huge array of options. Plus you can get $1 (on) and $2 (flavored) mimosas with the brunch. We tried many flavors and all were great: blackberry, strawberry, passion fruit, guava, lulo...! My fav food item was prob the arepitas, sooo fluffy and tasty. The waffles are excellent too. My party overall particularly loved the patacones and fried zucchini. And basically everything we tried lol. Nice little plates so you can try many things.

    Unfortunately I only have my desserts to show but that just says how good the food was! - I didn't even think to take a picture until I was done. Sabores is a great spot for friends, dates, family meals - the owners/managers are so welcoming, you know you're being taken care of the minute you walk in. On both occasions my table has ordered a variety of meats (cooked to perfection) and other tapas. Desserts are just the "icing on the cake". I'd recommend Sabores to anyone, already thinking about when I'll return too

    One of the best happy hours in arlington! $6 margaritas that taste amazing. I love both the steaks and the chimichurri is so fresh tasting. The service is friendly and the atmosphere is lovely.

    After seeing that Sabores made Yelp top places I had to see for myself. I love going to tapa bars and love Spanish food. I came here during the week. Construction all over Columbia Pike but luckily there's a garage nearby that's free for the 1st hour, plus they will validate. Their menu choices are slim as compared to other Spanish tapa bars in the area. The ambiance was not there. Not romantic or cozy. .. I hoping to hear Flamenco music,or classic Latin music not reggaeton btw, I love reggaeton!! and I frowned when they were playing Bad Bunny and J Blavin . Like would you like to listen to Bad Bunny while your eating paella? I had their lunch menu special pick 3 for $24 which I thought was reasonable. I chose .potato tortilla croquettes Steak. the tortilla de patatas was decent. It was almost cold. I didn't wanna make a fuss but was disappointed at 12:30pm why would it be served cold? The flavors were ok and I like how the potato's were thinly sliced but it would have been more enjoyed if it was served hot. The croquettes which are my favorite tapas and I was looking forward to devouring it ... was mid. It lacked flavor and heavily breaded and seemed that it was deep fried in old oil because the coating of my croquettes were almost dark brown. I barely tasted any chicken. Jaleo/Spanish Diner have better croquettes. The steak.... was meh although I asked for medium rare.. it wasn't served hot. And could use more flavor. Service was impeccable which why I give it 3.5 stars . My waiter was very attentive to me, but I do agree that they try to push dessert too much... besides the choices were pretty slim.. after been disappointed on all 3 dishes of my meal. I declined. For lunch time and it wasn't busy. I dont understand why food was served almost cold. I dont know. Compared to other tapas restaurants in the area fell below my expectations. Boqueria Jaleo and Arrels would be my suggestions. I might give it another shot but they need to improve..

    Gambas Al Ajillo
    Jens J.

    Our dinner last night at Sabores was one of the best meals we have had in a long long time. Sabores means flavors in English, and I can say to you that the flavors of every dish were great! Service was absolutely fabulous. The best dish of the night was the Gambas Al Ajillo (garlic shrimp). The shrimp arrived in a bowl atop a most exquisite chili oil/sauce. The shrimp came with two large slices of a perfect rustic bread. The chili sauce was perfect for dipping the bread. We really liked how the manager/owner came over and chatted with us for a bit and described how the chili oil was prepared. When we expressed our pleasure he brought us out more bread. Yes!! If you like gazbacho, you'll love Sabores's version of this chilled soup. Topped with bits of crispy Serrano ham and crumbled hard-boiled egg, this dish was excellent. Also, it was served in a hefty quantity. The arepitas were excellent as well. I probably didn't experience the full joy of this dish because I requested that they not include the meat, which can be either shredded beef or chicken. I asked them to hold the meat because they were honest and told me their meats included my old friend cilantro. The Espinacas de Catalina (spinach) was wonderful. The fresh cooked spinach was perfect and came with little raisins and generous bits of apple and walnut. Perhaps this dish could have stood a little less oil. Still, I'll definitely order again. The skirt steak churrasco was perfect, cooked and seasoned just right. The chimichurri sauce that came with the churrasco was tasty. Since we were on a roll with the great dishes, I then ordered the Dátiles con Tocino (bacon-wrapped dates). These little wonders had a pleasant slightly smoky flavor, and perhaps a bit different than bacon-wrapped dates you've had, these were made with a light batter and were fried. Ah, with so many other dishes to explore on the menu, we'll be back. This was actually our second visit, so we know our good fortune here was no fluke.

    The manager handing us the mini arepas for the wonderful teaches at our school!
    Gradiva J.

    Sabores generously provided a delicious donation of mini arepas for our school's teachers, and it was truly appreciated. The manager was incredibly helpful and friendly throughout the process. Every visit we've had there has been a positive experience. Not only are the managers welcoming, but the entire staff consistently creates a warm and inviting atmosphere.

    I am the worlds pickiest eater. I did not try one bad thing. 10/10 recommend their unlimited brunch. It was affordable ($32pp). This is a great way to try different foods from different Latin American countries.

    Seafood Paella (Paella de Mariscos)
    Loan L.

    Stopped by on a Saturday afternoon, it was pretty slow. Our server was accommodating and gave us great recommendations, definitely didn't disappoint. The interior is pretty cute, we got offer a few seating options, which was nice. I was looking forward to try the paella, a little disappointed, if it was cooked a little longer it would've been perfect. Other than that, i love the mini arepas, and the chickpeas. I definitely would still come again.

    Amazing food!! We…read morewent about an hour before closing and surprisingly, there were a lot of other people in line already as well! We didn't know what to expect going in. The line was long but they were very open about why it was taking a while (they wanted to ensure they only took orders they could fulfill and check their food inventory), once we ordered it was very fast! The food was delicious and so well made! The half chicken was what we got and it's alot of food so be ready to eat! The rice, plantains, and yuca are so yummy, highly recommend any of those sides. The sauces are all delicious as well, you can't go wrong. Such a great place to get quality dinner and the seating it plenty! 5/5

    El Pollo Rico was my first Peruvian chicken spot. After over 15 years since this experience I've…read morepatronized quite a few different places and ventured back to where the journey began to compare. Spoiler Alert: It's number 1. Though what I really like about the place changed. When I first went all they offered was Chicken, Cole slaw, and fries. In a world of many option I actually thought this sent a message that we are so good we only offer a limited choice that's you will enjoy. Tbf the fries can't compete w McD or Chikfila Waffle fries but they were good. The service counter is modernized and they are efficient and friendly. The layout if the restaurant is still basic like the limited menu they used to have. No frills no gimmicks just good food. Still the same vibe The chicken was still very good. Other places are fairly close but Apollo Rico is just a touch better. The charred seasoning is evident. What tipped the scales for me in comparison to other places I've been is the green sauce. It liked fresh. It wasnt like other places where that has the consistency of ketchup it looked bright green and freshly made vs other places where it seems as if it was poured out a container.
