The interior is almost like a fast food joint's. It gives old Taco Bell vibes. I ordered 3 enchiladas as sides and 2 quesabirria tacos to go. The quesabirria tacos were the best item I ordered and came with chopped white onions and cilantro. I would definitely try that again. All the enchiladas I ordered were Verde, and they were kind of bland. The meats inside were good, though. I got cabeza, carnitas, and adobada. I had to use salsas from the salsa bar to help with the rest of the enchiladas. Next time I would try the other kinds of enchiladas with different sauce flavors. I didn't like the smoky or spiciest salsas, but the green salsa and mild red salsa taste good enough to drink. I wish I could pack the pickled carrots myself because they're kept in small baggies with only a few insi
This is my go to door dash Mexican spot. The chicken adobo is flavorful, juicy and crispy. What makes this taqueria stand out when I go in person is the salsa bar. I love the escoviche, their cabbage salsa, and grilled onions. The carne asada is good and the rice is fluffy. For takeout and price point, El Sabor doesn’t disappoint. The customer service is great.
I am mixed on this one. First the positive. The food is actually very good. Their verde/green sauce is very flavorful and not too hot and is very smooth, their beans are good, their green Encheladas and chiliquiles are among the best I’ve had in Seattle. Now the negative, the prices are very high relative to the amount of food you get and the portions are rather small. The green Encheladas I got came with maybe a tablespoon of refried beans … and about 2 tablespoons of rice - that is not enough! I had to order an extra side portion of beans ($3.99 for an extra side). A side of corn tortillas is $3.99 and comes with 3 small tortillas… that is like $1.30 per tortilla! Other comparable restaurants charge $1.75 - $2.00 for 6 and another restaurant provides homemade tortillas complimentary.
Taqueria El Sabor is great spot for delicious Mexican food. The tacos are fantastic—authentic & flavorful. They add a good serving of meat in each taco. I especially loved their birria option. The kids menu also has great options and everything is prepared fresh. I recommend checking it out!
Food/Taste/Flavor: 4/5 - we ordered 8 cabeza tacos which were good. The tacos had a slight crisp and the protein was good. The pepper had a great kick! A bit inconsistent in filling as we had some that were stuffed and other tacos that were fairly empty Ambience: 3/5 - worn down furniture but homey feel since everyone is so friendly Service: 5/5 - definitely language barrier but they were friendly Value for price: 5/5 to 1/5 - the food was great in flavor and reasonable in price. Had some confusion since the taco prices were all over the place but it ended up being just over $2 per taco. Unfortunately, both of us got the runs within 2 hours of eating here :((((
