Got a take out order for lunch, and called ahead for the Combination 4- which came with one taco, one enchilada, and one tostado, and fried beans and rice. And they gave me chips! All for $8.99! I really enjoyed the food, but tostada was soggy and taco also fell apart. The enchilada take out container wasn't closed right so some things spilled out onto the bag. They also have a credit card fee, which I found out after paying and looking at the receipt. So come with cash if you want to avoid that. I would return because food was good and prices unbeatable, maybe will try dining in next time! read more

I haven't been to El Sabor in a few years. I'm very disappointed in the quality of food. We went for lunch and the shrimp quesadilla I got was disgusting. The shrimp was overcooked with no seasoning whatsoever, burnt onions, and green peppers. I don't recommend El Sabor any longer. It's sad because they used to be such a good local restaurant. I know there's a lot of competition out there, but you need to keep up your quality of food. read more

Great lunch specials! Most of the lunch specials are $10 and under that is a great deal these days. On top of that the food and service is great. It's not a large restaurant with a mixture of tables and booths for seating. I enjoyed the chicken taquitos! Plus the white sauce that they serve is delicious! read more

Revisited after many months only to find out "effective immediately" (as the posted signs say) they increased all of their prices by $2+ or more per entree (even on their lunch menu), etc. AND they now charge a 4% fee to pay by credit card!!! Their menus and website STILL show the old lower prices so you don't know how much anything really costs UNTIL you get the bill!! No wonder why the place was empty. read more

I came from Massachusetts me and the fam tried it and everyone's plates were scraped clean very yummy and nice funny staff. I recommend the fried ice cream. We definitely will return before we leave read more

Food is good. Quality and portions are ok. Nice quaint ambiance. Mom and Pop restaurant feel. Good food selection. Bar seems to have something for everyone, but limited in variety of brands for each category of type of alcohol. Service was very good. Quick to seat people, take order and refill drinks or whatever you need. Staff is friendly. It seems like a locals' favorite. I recommend El Sabor Mexican restaurant. read more

Kitschy interior with sombreros, flags, etc. but the food is good and the service prompt, and the prices are reasonable. Wouldn't be a place to go on a date, but great for locals wanting a good meal. read more

Great ambiance with Mexican music and nice decor. Food was fresh tasting and flavorful. Service was fast and friendly. We shopped at the Flipping Flea and the meadery and this restaurant was conveniently in the same parking lot. Food and menu are what you'd expect from a Mexican restaurant. A good choice if you're Jonesing for Mexican. read more

High value excellent Mexican food. You can tell by the Hispanic clientele that you're in the right place! For us, the fajitas for two are the highlight, but everything exceeds expectations. read more

This restaurant did everything to accommodate our large family party walking in and taking our special requests. The turnaround for our entrees was very quick and their attention to our specific orders was done perfectly. Did I mention a cute ambiance that was FAMILY FRIENDLY!?! if you're craving Mexican, they do it right! read more

Had ate there before and was very good, but not today. I got the Tequila Special. Enjoyed the tamale and most of the rest. Guacamole was terrible. My friend got fajitas Texana. He eats a lot of fajitas and these were the worst he ever had.I tasted it and agree. Chicken,steak and shrimp were like leather. No seasoning or flavor whatsoever. Tomato had a bad spot.Shrimp were stuck together like cooked frozen. Black beans were pretty good, rice very bland. Salsa was good.Not sure if I will return. read more

My wife and I eat/cook Mexican food several times a week. We absolutely love Mexican food. El Sabor is one of the few places when we travel, we reminisce about our meals from there. Anytime we travel to Williamsburg, we make El Sabor our last place to eat at because it's the perfect ending to our vacations. Everything takes fresh, authentic, and literally leaves you wanting more. Last time we were here, I was literally talking about how amazing the food was for our entire trip back home (about 3 hours). Owners are very friendly and always take time to talk to our boys. Their secret hot salsa is absolutely perfect. Everything I've had so far, between the tacos, enchiladas, steak chorizo special, chilaquilles, and Chile rellenos are our perfect picks every time. Forget Uncle Julio's or any other over charging "Mexican" joint (talking about you Chipotle). Enjoy the fresh taste of Mexican here! read more

Their food is good and authentic . And it is the best place for Authentic Mexican food in Williamsburg Va.

When I arrived, I stood there for a while while the guy behind the bar ignored me and no one else greeted me - or made eye contact. Finally a guy came from somewhere else and took my order. No one else seemed to even be glad to see a new customer come in. The chimichanga was probably baked, not fried and it was rolled like an enchilada, not a burrito. I asked for a friend chimichanga - beef, with sour cream and guacamole. They put the wee bit of guacamole and the sour cream on lettuce with tomatoes - called it a salad, so I had to scrape it off for my chimi. I didn't ask for a salad. The meat was dry and had a strange taste. The beans were too salty and the rice wasn't good at all. Overall did not impress me in the least. Most of it went in the bin - which I hate because I hate waste! Curious if they eat this food themselves - I can't see how. read more

Yessssss! First of all, flat out cheap. Don't be fooled by the outside... it's not a fine dining establishment, but if you like big portions of good food .... yes! Our waiter Oscar was so sweet and the food came out fast. I'm vegan and got veggie fajitas, and he made sure they weren't cooked in butter. Came with refried black beans and rice, lettuce and guacamole. (Would also come with cheese and sour cream but since I'm vegan I said to leave it off) For just $10, huge portion. Others at my table got chicken fajitas and a beef taco salad which they both really enjoyed. 4 of us had dinner, including 2 sodas and a margarita all for $43. Ask for the habanero salsa if you like spicy... you won't regret it. I already can't wait to go back. read more

El Sabor Mexicano - I asked for the spiciest salsas they had and they didn't disappoint. Say "quiero la salsa más picante que tienes" - Mexican Near Me - Williamsburg, Virginia

Mexican Pizza -- A It was a basic fried tortilla, with beans and hamburger and cheese, another tortilla on top with more cheese and tomatoes on top. I liked it, I would get it again. The menu looked pretty big, I saw options for everyone. The reason for just the "OK" was the service. So initially a woman sat me down and gave me my menu, so I thought maybe she was my waitress, but apparently a gentleman was instead. Well after my food came, no one else came to check on me. I went to the bar and asked the same woman for my check and a box, which a short time later she brought out, and I waited. and waited... No one came to take my check and I was in a rush so I left giving someone a rather big tip since I only had big bills and no one came to check on me to give me change. Here is the kicker tho- as SOON as I walked out, that same gentleman cleared my table.. and took the tip. read more

Good food at a great price. The beer offerings were standard and the margaritas above average. Ordered a combination but forgot the number. Knowing me it contained a taco and burrito, but I can tell you that I ate every bit of it. You could call it a dive, but get past the exterior and the food was solid. read more

Sadly, the food didn't agree with my digestive system and I was stuck at home the next day.

Our regular go to Mexican restaurant. Great food, the best prices in town and fast and friendly service. Some of the reviews on here make we wish we could respond and shame other people's reviews, especially the creature who was upset because her burger wasn't Mexican enough. Go to McDonald's, unless you want delicious Mexican food, in which case El Sabor is your place. read more
