We came here on a Thursday night and were seated quickly. The space is small, but we'll decorated and cozy. We ordered the jalapeña Rita and the Señora collins, both were great! We had the sweet potato and black bean empanadas and the vegeta comida. I still think about those empanadas, it was a nice mix inside, and the chimichurri was amazing - tangy, bright. The vegeta comida was also great, all parts were delicious and the tortillas helped make it filling it was easy to eat vegan here! read more

My husband and I came here for dinner and really really enjoyed it. The place is small but we were seated right away. The salsas were great! Our favorite was the pineapple, so I was excited to find it came with my tuna as well. The flounder was incredible. A little pricey but you are getting what you pay for here and I will be back next time I'm in Wilmington! read more

This meal was the best i have had i a long time. I strongly recommend coming if you near. I got the breakfast of champions which i would strongly advise getting. Overall it was a great meal and even better service. read more

We got the Big Kahuna Tuna tartare (daily special) and Arroz con Pollo; both were great... The jale-pina (jalapeno & pineapple) margarita was also really good. It's a small restaurant but wasn't noisy; music was early 2000s R&B/hip-hop which didn't match the menu but was a welcome vibe nonetheless. Will definitely come back there next time we're vacationing in Wilmington. read more

Let me hear you say Ahhhhh . That's what my mouth was telling me after I took my first bite of this delicious meal. From start to finish every single bite was fresh and you can taste the difference. My meal was extremely light and filling simultaneously to be able to hit the town after and explore. The restaurant was a bit small with maybe ten tables max. If you're a margarita lover you've gotta stop by. One table near us took down ten margaritas in an hour. If that isn't a stamp of approval I don't know what is. If you're in the neighborhood stop by! I'd recommend calling prior because they don't take reservations. read more

The service and food was outstanding. The venue is casual and small and during season there can be a long wait. Lunch menu looked great. Suggestion is to go about 4:30ish, have an appetizer and drink and wait for the dinner menu that begins at 5. This is a hidden gem for sure! Chef owned!! read more

I think this place was ok for me. I got biscuits and gravy and they were out of biscuits so they gave me arepas. The salsa was good on top but i didn't enjoy it much. My husband had Huevos Rancheros and he didn't like it much either. The service was slow but I understand its a small place with so much crowd on a weekend so that can happen. Place has a good vibe and very artistic. read more

Best new restaurant I've tried in years. Felt like someone was really paying attention to layering flavors in a delicate but intense way...I can't say enough good things. The only downside was the small dining room and tiny table we were sat at, but the food was so amazing that I don't think it deserves reducing a star. I can't wait to come back! read more

My daughter and I were seated at a table right next to the door on a rainy early evening (5pm). When I asked the hostess to move us to one of the several vacant tables towards the back, she refused, stating that "we save those for larger groups". I immediately went to the WC and on my return not 3 minutes later, found a couple seated at the table I requested! Wtf. You give away your worst tables first? We got up and left and I'll never go back. What a shitty way to run a restaurant. read more

I really wanted to love my food. I'd read the reviews, studied the menu and was super excited to try out the fusions of flavor I'd been anticipating. Maybe I'd built it up too much in my mind, but I wanted a bit more flavor. A bit more spice. A little less cream in the ceviche. I like spicy and I've found Wilmington dining caters to those who don't. So perhaps next time I need to ask for a bit more spice as I think most people in the area don't prefer it. The service was great and I will definitely try this again but it just wasn't quite five star flavor. read more

Wonderful....amazing and unexpected flavor combinations! Best dinner hands down in the last 10 years!

This spot is the best food in Wilmington. My boyfriend is in graduate school and we make sure to stop here every time I visit! Great portions and sides flavorful food you can't go wrong here! Would definitely recommend. read more

This was THE BEST FOOD we've ever had in Wilmington! Wow! After 6am flights and running around, I was in need of some Latin comfort food to make me feel like home (Miami). Savorez was a lot more "Comforting" than we ever expected. If they opened one in South Miami, We would make it our "go to!". We will ALWAYS come here when we visit family! Try the blackened drum fish dish! The coconut white rice! The sancocho!!! Omg! I'm going back tomorrow! Oh and the margaritas!!!!! Lawd! Be still my heart! read more

Savorez - Vegeta Comida - Latin American Near Me - Wilmington, North Carolina

Tiny little corner spot with a ton of personality! Came on a Monday, place opens at 11:30 and it was packed by 11:45. Tapas style eating is the way to go, sample a bunch of small dishes and share. Tacos were phenomenal; pork was juicy and so flavorful! Salsa sampler was really good, there was a sweet potato salsa that I probably never would've ordered that was so good. Service is good, but as busy as this place gets you need to be patient with food coming out. Yuca fríes come with an aioli that you could put in a shoe and it would taste amazing. We will definitely be back to try more plates and sample some drinks. read more

A long wait but oh so worth it! Savorez was a delicious and unique meal. We were visiting the area and wanted to try something a bit newer. We decided on Savorez and got there around 7:30. We had about an hour wait, as they don't take reservations and the place is very small. We started with two great drinks at the bar and eventually got our table. We had the salsa tri, goat cheese and sweet potato guac, chicken empanada, tuna empanada, lobster ceviche, and flan. The salsas and guac were delicious but I would probably cut one to save room for an entree, which looked amazing! The ceviche wasn't my cup of tea as it was basically a coconut gazpacho, and the coconut flavor just overpowered everything else, but my partner loved it. Empanadas we're a highlight, the chicken especially. Finally, the flan was an unexpected delite! A tad spice and rich dark chocolate. Our dining experience was about 2 full hours, plus an hour wait, so keep that in mind. read more

My mouth is still watering. This was such an INCREDIBLE dining experience. Not only was the food--to die for--our waitress was so kind and patient with us! My date insisted on having surprise dishes (which I felt so bad for the waitress) but she was so cool about it! And honestly it was really fun. I ordered the Jefe Arroz con Pollo--I highly recommend it!! The flavors were amazing and the portions were perfect. I will certainly come back soon! read more

Had a gorgeous lunch here today at this little Wilmington gem. Savorez was recommended to us by my in-laws and I will certainly be recommending it to others passing through! The ambiance here was lovely-- certainly high end, but not pretentious. The staff was quick and gracious, as was the food service! They Even have a few parking spots outside, which made this a very convenient trip. We started with the sweet potato goat cheese "guacamole," which earned the quotation marks by being primarily composed of the first two named ingredients. They harmonized beautifully with the avocado, green onion, red onion, and other magic that was mashed into this concoction! Served alongside crunchy fresh chips, it was hard for us to not lick the bowl after inhaling this appetizer. We then split the four tapas options. It was just my husband and I, and I have to say, it was probably one more than we needed! (That didn't stop us from devouring all four.) Far and away our favorite were the BLT arepas. We would each be happy to eat a million of these. Daily. Honestly, we almost overlooked them because we were so enamored with the idea of the tuna tostadas, But do not ignore these little bites of heaven! The tuna tostadas did come in as a close second. They were fresh, crispy, and delicious; the pineapple and jalapeno combination on these was out of this world. The Vegeta comida was a nice little combination of many delicious veggie options, but did pale in comparison to the first two. Finally was the langousta y coco which solidly fell in fourth place. This one was just not our taste! We are admittedly lobster purists and the coconut sauce overpowered the glory of the lobster. All ingredients were fresh and gorgeously prepared. We will definitely stop in again next time we are in town! read more

The food here is inventive and delicious. We recently had the smoked tuna empanadas - excellent. Soft shell crab and blackened Mahi specials. Also excellent. Very small, only seats 30. It has a small bar with great cocktails. Go early or late. read more

I have been wanting to dine here for awhile. After a visit to Thalian Hall tonight I was able to do just that. We had a short wait for 2 people about 845ish. They do not take reservations and it is a very small place. The atmosphere is very chill and cozy. I actually really liked it a lot! There is really great art work and the lights for Christmas made it all the more festive. They have an extensive drink list and the food menu was very hard to choose from because everything sounded delightful. I chose the tuna caliente because it was healthy. I loved it and could eat it everyday. The pickled onions and avocado mixes with the cold quinoa and perfectly cooked tuna were perfect. My friends shrimp and grits were also delicious. The chorizo flavored sauce gave it a nice twist. Our server was awesome and I would love to come back again. read more

This has been my third time going to Savorez while I've been in the area I wrote a review this time because not only was the food phenomenal (as always) but the dining experience we had was one of the most customer oriented experiences I've had in Wilmington, and I felt compelled. This time while I was dining, I asked the waitress to just bring me whatever her favorite dishes were, and was not disappointed. Not only did she acquiesce without hesitation, but she brought out incredible dishes that I never would thought to order. My date was a little slow to order and our waitress had to come back to the table three times initially to get her first order, but she was so pleasant about it and never made us feel like we were being pests. The drinks came out quickly, they were well made, and our cups were never empty because an eye was always kept on our table. Great experience and I will be coming back much more read more

What a wonderfully different restaurant! The food is inventive, the service is warm and attentive, and the room itself is comfortable. I've been to Savorez over a dozen times and it never fails to excel. One warning: Savorez does not take reservations and the best time to get a table is 5pm; otherwise, expect a wait of 20-30 minutes at their small, and frequently crowded, bar. read more

Cute decor, the food is very good but in some dishes just trying too hard. My chorizo and goat cheese empanada with mango chutney and black bean sauce was rather bland. My scallops with kale and white bean sauté, tomato coulis and fig jelly, too much in the plate. My dessert was awesome though, coconut panna cotta with chocolate granola, some type of berry sauce and avocado actually did work. My friend loved her mahi tacos. The drinks were great too, I had red wine sangria. Service was nice although they never refilled our water. Would definitely return here again. read more

My only complaint is that the place is somewhat small and can't fit more people at one time! I arrived with a party of 6 on Friday night. We were told there would be a 45 min wait. We decided to stick around and I am so glad that we did. The food and the customer service were both fantastic. And the desserts....our party ordered at least one of everything so that we could try them all. There were absolutely no losers. They were able to accommodate the vegetarians, vegans, and meat eaters in our group! I will definitely be back next time I am in town! read more

Creative, delicious food with variety of textures and flavors. Special drum fish with wilted collards and crispy potatoes was simply outstanding. Our waitress was amazing: attentive, helpful and kind. Small restaurant , no reservation. On rainy Thursday night was full. Deserts creative but sounded a bit better than tasted in my opinion. But generally I am not a huge fan of flan. Panna cotta was pretty good but the way it was dressed up wasn't something I loved. All in all, I highly recommend it as it's creative take on Latin American fare read more
