Sabor Latino

MY Family and I have been here on 3 occasions and trust me not again. My wife would tel me to give it the benefit of the doubt the second time but the 3^rd time even she had enough of the DIS-​SERVICE. I will summarize all 3 visits as to not write a novel.
Service– The waitress tends to forget about their costumers and leave you waiting. Once we were the only people there and still had to actually get up and call for a waitress as they never checked up on us. They seemed busier talking in the back then doing their jobs.
Food– the food is ok at best, and the portions were good. On one occasion I had to tell them to please reheat as it was cold when the food was brought to me.
Décor– I guess its ok for the style they are going for but it’s not all that. They need an upgrade.
Price– Price is reasonable but again not worth the hassle.
Ambiance– The music was way to load for my taste but I guess that is more of an opinion.

This place is dirty! Food is ok but the place, furniture and floors are really dirty. I saw the kitchen from the table where I was sitting and lost my appetite. Plus they have the tv on really loud and then to make it worse they turn on their stereo. So far really nasty experience, I won’t be back!

Horrible experience. I mean the beans were like from the cans. The server was not friendly & the food took forever to arrive.
Our first Mexican meal in VA & it’s just a disappointment

Really good food but unprofessional when it comes to carry out! I ordered to go and spend about $ 60 and when I got home I was missing 2 meals from my order! Smh I called them to let them know about it, so then I had to drive back to the restaurant to pick up what I was missing. All they said was «sorry» … I mean at least offer me a complimentary drink or something. But nothing !!! I’ll probably won’t be ordering «To Go» again from here…

The food was great. The only thing was that I ordered two different things, «Pilsner» and a food item and they didn’t have any.
The service was ok. I had the bistect encebollado and it tasted great! Only thing, if it says it has onions PUT ONIONS on it. Not 4 wimpy pieces of onions on it. Load it up!
I will be back. My wife and I loved their pupusas. I recommend them.

I’ve eaten here twice. The first time was OK– wasn’t really impressed. The second time was worse. We had two servers– one was friendly but knew next to no English, so communication was hard when asking a few questions. The other knew English but seemed a bit bothered– her greeting wasn’t too friendly. I, along with my mom, waited almost thirty minutes for our food. I ate cheese enchiladas with re-​fried beans, and rice. I was really disappointed by the enchiladas simply because the cheese tasted like Kraft American cheese. My re-​fried beans was cold in some spots, so I wouldn’t be surprised if it wasn’t made fresh. Another thing that annoyed me was the LOUD music playing– made it hard to hear yourself talk. Overall, my experience was not great. Right now I feel sick to my stomach. I’m sure they mean well, but I will not be eating here ever again.

Very friendly service… very spicy fare… check it out for some Latina flavor!

Great food at a great price!!! The décor might not be much to look at, but the food was delicious. I might have to bone up on my Spanish because I plan to visit this place more often.

Sabor Latino has some of the best pupusas in the DC area…
Some of you may be asking WTF is a Pupusa?! Well, my friends, let me tell you. Its traditionally Salvadoran made of thick corn with wonderfully tasty goodness on the inside. The «inside» can be either beans & cheese, just cheese, chicharron (pork), queso (cheese), or loroco (no idea what that is). I always order pupusa revueltas (mixed) with chicharron con queso. Served with the pupusa is a vinegary cabbage slaw and a tomato sauce that will either be given to you separately or already mixed.
I eat the cabbage either as a side dish to the pupusa or I put some on top of the pupusa. Soooooooooo GOOD! Enjoy, my friends!

Authentic Latin food in an authentic latin atmosphere (a happy but slower pace –it’s ok, that’s what the chips and salsa are for). Futbol (soccer) seems to be on half of the televisions with Spanish music videos on the other half. While it is true that less than half of the staff can speak english, I don’t see this as a problem. Now, at first I was a little intimidated being the only «gringo» in there, but once I unleashed my spanish skills, I had all the waitresses coming over to talk and help me. I haven’t tred everything on the menu, I seem to be ordering only the pupusas all the time, but that’s how good they are. The Pupusas are great here, especially the chichirrron.

After realizing that El Charro across the street was closed for Easter, we wandered over to this strip mall to try and find some authentic Latin American food. Of the two restaurants here, this one seemed the most promising. All the signage was solely in Spanish, so we were anxious to see if we had found a local gem.
This place is half-​restaurant and half pool hall. We were the only non-​Hispanic people there — lots of young men and families gathering for a late Sunday lunch while watching the Spanish equivalent of MTV and futbol.
I ordered the horchata to drink and the rest of the group ordered water. I think we were all surprised when the water came out in bottles. My horchata was very good, but very sweet. We all ordered a pupusa to start and other specialties. The pupusas were good — a thick dough encompassing many different fillings and served alongside a pickled cabbage dish that we translated as the Salvadorean equivalent of kimchi.
I ordered the Salvadorian beef stew, and one of my friends ordered the same with chicken. It was an immense plate of food that included stewed beef and a variety of vegetables, including carrots, potatoes, onions and zucchini. It also come with rice, refried beans and homemade tortillas. The beans were fantastic — they had a silken consistency that went well with the rest of the food. The tortillas were also amazing — they came out freshly made — thick and soft and perfect for filling with beef and hot sauce.
The rest of the group ordered a chicken torta, which ended up being a fried chicken sandwich, and the NY strip steak. The steak was a little overdone and chewy. The service was friendly but rather slow. I’m sure there are some stellar items on the menu — I just don’t think we found them.
