Searching for authentic Latin cuisine in Birmingham? Look no further, as Sabor Latino satisfied all…read moreour cravings. With a wide selection of classic Mexican and Peruvian dishes, Sabor Latino is serving up some delicious offerings. What we ordered: -Tamale (came out piping hot and was incredibly tasty) -Papas Rellenas con Pollo (deep-fried potato stuffed with chicken. Not the most visually pleasing dish but certainly delicious) -Arroz Chaufa con Pollo (Peruvian fried rice. Classic fried rice with a slight Latin spin. Large portion and can easily be shared) I couldn't decide on a favorite, as everything was perfect! Will I be back? 100% yes! Do not skip out on this local favorite next time you're driving down Green Springs.

These dishes could easily fit inside a fine-dining restaurant. This time, I had the Paella Valenciana, and it hit the spot. The combination of creamy rice, sausage, chicken, calamari, shrimp, onions, and lemon juice was exactly what I needed. This has such an authentic flavor and freshness to it that is definitely not your run-of-the-mill tex mex, which of course I still love. My friend also had a glass of wine, and he said he was surprised at how good it was. I need to come here more often!

Fried bananas made a nice side dish. Excellent quality, quantity, and value.

My friend and I stopped in for some light bites early in the evening before going to a bar that doesn't serve food. The ambiance is nice. I did find it odd that the hostess seemed surprised we were "just walking in" since there was almost no one there. It took a pretty good while for our server to greet us, but we weren't in a hurry. We ordered mojitos and they were terrible. The lime and mint weren't muddled, rather just garnishes, so the drinks had no flavor. Unfortunately, that was the theme with the food too. We ordered blistered shishitos, empanadas, and ceviche. The empanadas came out first and the picadillo inside tasted like manwich sloppy joes with sugar added. It didn't have any Cuban flavors at all-- no cumin, alcaparrado, cilantro-- just sweet tomato paste. Next came the ceviche, which was unlike any ceviche I've ever had. It seemed to be maybe poached in coconut milk or something? It didn't have any discernible citrus flavor (or really, any flavor at all). It was just a pile of bland shrimp with nothing else in it-- no chiles, onion, tomato, or seasonings. Honestly, the plantain chips served with the ceviche were the best thing we had. Finally, we had the blistered shishitos. They weren't really 'blistered' much, so they were overly firm. They also could've used some sea salt or any kind of seasoning. They had a smoky flavor, but a fake one, like they were blasted with a butane torch rather than cooked over a flame. They tasted like someone had put out a cigarette on them. Very disappointing meal for over $100. Definitely will not be back.

The jalapeño cornbread with the butter is probably one of my favorite things on the menu. Oh my goodness, it is SO good! I'm pretty sure I've even placed a to-go order before just because I wanted the jalapeño cornbread . I also love the potato tortillas they have as an appetizer. They are really, really good, and the birria tacos are great as well. I can't remember exactly what my dad ordered when we went together, but I do remember that he loved his food too. I've had a great experience every time I've been, and it's definitely a place I would recommend!

I haven't tried an entrée yet because my group usually orders a few dips to share, and they've always been a hit. That said, the dishes I've seen at other tables have looked delicious. The outdoor patio is one of my favorite features--it's a great place for people-watching, enjoying the atmosphere, and having a daytime drink. The service has been solid on every visit. Nothing extraordinary, but friendly, efficient, and with no complaints. Overall, it's a place I'd happily come back to.

Black beans were mild on the spice level and rice was unremarkable. My boyfriend got the arepa (shredded beef) and it was pretty good! The plantains were my favorite side by far! They were cut thick and fried with a good crunch! We got queso and street corn for an appetizer and the street corn was my favorite! It was sweet, savory and tangy all at once!
