Gran Sabor Latino Restaurant

After completing renovations on the previous restaurant, the reopening was everything I was hoping for. As long as you don’t mind a long line when you show up, their amazing food is worth every penny.

This place is awesome! Went here during my lunch break and could not have been more pleased. There were so many choices and everything was fresh. There is a nice seating area inside. Staff were very helpful. Parking is a tad limited but nothing outrageous. 100% recommend!

I loved this place since it was a hole in the wall and now with the huge expansion and new building the atmosphere finally lives up to its food!
The renovation is expertly done and very inviting. The use of materials are lux but not too high end for the neighborhood. The restaurant is clean with an assortment of buffet style displays featuring common and not so common Puerto Rican cuisine.
What could use a little tweaking is the ordering procedure. Nothing has changed since they were a little 2 table restaurant. You walk up to the closed buffet display and order, trying in desperation to see the person you’re working with as the glass displays are in the way and the noise level high. Continue to walk to cashier and pay. I really wish they would change this to a true pay per pound buffet to make ordering easier and also allow more variety.
The meals consist of a meat, rice, and beans while the other items are al la carte. Most of the al la carte items are not listed on the menu board — labeling the display case could really increase sales, and some of the specialty items like monfongo and pasteles were available but also not listed and given that these are holiday staples in the Hispanic community should be listed prominently. The portion size is huge! If in doubt under order as the meal itself usually feeds me for about 3 meals over 2 days.
I will say that’s its refreshing to see a small business not only become successful but also legendary as sometimes the line goes outside and wraps around the building.
Beware of street parking though — sometimes its hit or miss!
