We tried a variety of dishes and they were all delicious, all with the perfect amount of seasoning. It was all made with fresh ingredients and served within a good timeframe. For the appetizer definitely try the blood sausage with fresh guacamole. The coconut lemonade was refreshing. The coconut rice was also a hit. The lime cake was spongy, a good mix of tart and sweet. Nothing on this menu is a bad choice. The ambiance is relaxed with wonderful music playing. They have a DJ booth in the corner so I assume they have a party vibe some times.

In a random parking lot in the middle of south jersey, I found the best empanadas on the planet!!! Food so good that I travel and hour each way, drop $100 each time, and am always extremely pleased. The owner isn't just a great guy but he's a mad genius. Things that I would've never thought to put in an empanada, he Severus Snapes it together and I've yet to have a bad one. Some examples: Chicken alfredo, Nashville hot chicken, roasted veggie, Philly cheesesteak, mac and cheese, Dubai chocolate, and Fruity Pebbles are just a few. So pack your pepper spray, and your narcan and prepare yourself for a taste sensation

Immediately when you walk in, it's clean, it's spacious, it has plenty of seating. You have plenty of space with your dishes when you go to sit down. You can look out the window and enjoy your lunch. The food... my God the food. I can't wait to come back here again. I will say they give you enough to last you to the next lunch day lol. But I will be coming back with updates when I try more things here. I got the steak platter and all the ingredients are so fresh, it's so well-made. Nothing tastes old, the flavors are amazing. I really have nothing bad to say. I will say the only hiccup is the workers don't really speak English, however, they do provide you with the phone so they can translate what you're saying, which is great. I waited an appropriate amount of time for dish like this and will be telling everyone I run into about this place. It's peaceful, the music is calming. You're not overly loud like a lot of these restaurants. It's clean, and the food is great! I found my new lunch spot. Update: went back the next day with my leftovers from my previous visit. Decided to try the beef empanada with the sauce that I missed the first day. Some kind of cilantro not spicy sauce. Also got the tres leches. Hands-down the best tres leches I've ever had in my life. And when I tell you that sauce puts the empanada over the edge. That's exactly what it needed. I will be coming here all the time!

This place is off the chain when it comes to delicious comida Latino (Latino food). There are so…read moremany options to choose from, but I chose to go with my staples to see if I wanted to adventure through the menu at a future point in time. Turns out, yes...I definitely will be adventuring into this menu because everything that my family and I ordered was perfectly prepared. No one felt disappointed with their meals. It's my birthday weekend, and my family wanted to get dinner after a long day of hanging out. We are a blended Latino family, so naturally, we sought out the closest Latino restaurant still open (we decided to eat pretty late). Luckily, Yelp guided us to Sabor Latino. My little sister is still in college so since she had a test she needed to run home to do, we decided to order our entrees to go and had some empanadas de Pollo (chicken empanadas) while we waited about an hour for our to go order because my sister decided to order the Paella which is cooked fresh when ordered so it takes a while. Tip: Call ahead if you plan on ordering paella. I wish I had taken pictures of the food when I got back home. But in my family, I am the one who runs around gathering all the plates, utensils, and drinks for everyone. By the time I sat down to the dinner table, my family was already halfway done eating their first serving. They were hungry, but the food was also delicious, so they couldn't help themselves. The servings allowed for each of us to have leftovers that we are excited for. Tonight, I tried their grilled chicken, which was perfectly prepared. Next time, I definitely will be trying their churrasco. And I will definitely be ordering more empanadas. These empanadas must have been the best empanadas I have tasted in this country (America) for a long time. I can see myself becoming a regular here because of the food and the friendly service. I am happy that this place turned out to be my birthday dinner restaurant with my family. It was perfect. Next time, I promise to take pictures of everything. The ambiance is super cute, too, with several photo Ops.

Well, I am here to tell you to stop in and eat everything off the menu, because it is AMAZING! We have been here twice and both times were good, but breakfast was better. I ordered the Gallo Pinto, which is a Costa Rican dish that includes black beans mixed with rice, a meat, fried cheese, egg, sausage, sweet plantains and a tortilla. The rice alone is worth having, so definitely give this a try. It is a magnificent spread that can feed two or good for sharing with a hungry toddler like mine. Hubby had the Chifrijol (black beans, white rice, crunchy fried pork layered on top pico de gallo & avocado) which was JUST as tasty just a bit small on the portion compared to mine. But a bargain for the $10 price, so absolutely give it a try for the chicharron (pork rinds) alone! Now as far as the bakery goes, we ordered a slab (yes, a mean a slab) of their corn bread and it is the best thing I've tasted in a while. It is a combination of perfectly homemade mixed with hints of the motherland that really make it out of this world. Each additional bite made it more and more appetizing. Get this. My toddler also wanted pancakes which we got 3 kid portion pancakes WITH bacon for only $4! And for a Latin spot, they make amazing pancakes! I also have to add that the service here is great, the whole restaurant is sparking clean and so cute inside. You get warm bread as you wait for your meal. The coffee is phenomenal and comes in GIANT mug. I really can't say more except...come spend your money here....order grub hub from here...and let me know if you like it!

I enjoyed the entire meal. It was on the heavy side so I was able to take home leftovers. Restaurant is clean and with enough tables to make it not feel crowded. Plenty of parking and the general feel in the area is good. It's near the Dunn Middle School, right off of Lalor. The dining experience was pricey for the venue in my opinion, and they charge 3% fee for use of credit or debit card. I spent about $78 for two (an appetizer, two dinner entrees, two soft drinks, 20% tip and 3% credit card fee). Although I liked the experience, I was expecting to be at about $50.

I'd known about them for years, but they were kind of out of the way for me. The place is small and unassuming, which gave me high expectations, as sometimes I find myself having lower expectations for a more "Mexican" decorated place (I'm wrong as often as I'm right). As far as the Fish Tacos went, they do not serve the Baja style fried fish tacos that I'd grown up on out west, so it was a downer when the plater arrived and I saw the tacos filled with chopped fish cooked in broth. That said, at least the taco was well filled and the fish had a very good flavor. The broth turned out to be a major issue, as the (very tasty) single layer tortillas were soaking up the broth while I ate the first taco, and the second and third tacos both split at the seams and fell apart after one or two bites. A second tortilla may have prevented this debacle, but I won't order fish tacos here again. I'd have loved a fish soup made in this style. The next visit I tried Tacos de Tripa (fried pork intestines), which is my current go to taco style. They were very good, and I enjoyed the heck out of them. They were nice and crispy as I'd requested, and the excellent tasting tortilla made them an excellent choice. My wife had a cheese tamal that had ribbons of poblanos inside as well, and it was also very good with the poblanos providing a nice balance to the heaviness of the cheese. I'd get both again in a heartbeat. My third visit was at lunchtime, and I opted for a Torta de Chili Relleno--essentially a chili relleno sandwich. It wasn't the first I've ever had, and it's a fave torta when I see them on the menu--which isn't often. The torta arrived with a nice sized chili relleno along with the usual smear of beans, lettuce, tomatoes, avocado, and a couple pieces of queso fresco served on a lightly toasted roll. Overall, the torta was very good tasting, and it went down nicely. However, I wish they used a little firmer roll instead of the soft one they did use. The torta was big and warm, and a crustier roll would have been better. The soft one used was near to collapsing under the weight of the ingredients. Fries are an option on the many torta options for a couple dollars extra. In retrospect, I'd have liked to have added a layer of fries to the sandwich for a little extra kick. All in all, El Gallo Tropical is a place I'll continue to go to. The staff is very friendly, and the menu is extensive (too big?). Although I had them initially at three stars after my first visit for fish tacos, the second (4+) and third (4-) visits have raised them up, and I'm rounding up to a four.
