muy excellente. If we lived in the area, we could easily become regulars here. And there seems to be many regulars here tonight. We only waited a few minutes. Service was very good too. read more

Great food, great prices, wonderful staff! Offered military discount on top of their already great prices.

Delicious! The pupusas were addictive. Really had to hold back from eating all of it. Full disclosure - never had pupusas before. But good tasting food is universal and this was delish! The service was very good too and the price was quite reasonable. read more

Best Latin food in the burg. This is not a Mexican food restaurant, it's allot more great pupusas the rotisserie chicken is also awesome. I have been back multiple times a must try if you like Latin food. read more

Looking for fantastic Peruvian cuisine? I suggest the grilled chicken with plantains and Spanish rice. Add papusa's with beans and cheese for a flavorful meal for two. It comes with many salsas to try with the meal and even a jalepeno pickled slaw. read more

Very nice find. Thanks Yelp. We had a great dinner. Pollo saltiado, pollo a la plancha and platano maduros. Everything was yummy. I wish we had tried this place earlier in the week we would have been back before we left. The complementary chips and salsa were very good. For dessert we had flan which was warm and yummy and churros which were the best we ever had. read more

OMG!!! By the time we got here it was empty and with in 30 min it was packed. They give you chips and salsa as soon as you get there. What a great and affordable place to eat your favorite Latin dishes. I tried the Chicken Salteado (chicken, onions, tomatoes and fries) with white rice and it was exquisite. My hubby had "Carne asada" and the steak was tender and tasteful. Very good portions! Our kids has the rotisserie chicken with rice and black beans and they loved it! We tried every Central American beer listed on their menu; iced cold delicious Pilsner, Salva vidas, Port Royal, Gallo... To finalized our great adventure at this great place we ordered fried ice cream and flan!!! Delicious!!! To summarize; great place, awesome food, great customer service and excellent iced cold beer! Forgot one thing!!! They have a little supermarket right next to the restaurant where you can buy your favorite Latin items you crave. read more

Good was excellent and affordable. Got the half chicken with beans and plantains. The plantains were so sweet and delicious! Also the fried ice cream was fantastic. read more

El Sabroson - Fried ice cream - Latin American Near Me - Williamsburg, Virginia

See all

The food was very good and fresh. The service was slow and she disappeared a few times had to wait for drink refills that is an aggravation of mine. The little grocery store that you can visit if you head for the bathrooms is cute and I got some good things I do not see in my area. read more

We picked this place because most reviews were good. However, I found the meal and overall experience lacking. Right off the bat, although I specifically looked at the kid's menu prior to coming, they din't have chicken tenders(!) which my daughter was really looking forward to. My margarita was less than impressive as well, lacking in flavor and lite on tequila. Main courses that we all got were kind of bland and uninspiring, and deserts were outright amateurish. The staff was very friendly though, although not very knowledgable or professional. Overall, I expect a better experience during a vacation dinner. read more

I was a little hesitant to come here after I saw a few of these reviews, however, I am so happy I came anyway. The ambience was good, the waiter was great and the food was delicious. I would absolutely recommend this place. read more

I was so excited to try thinking with almost 5 stars it would be a hit....the service was slow, the appetizer of queso dip came after we had our. Entrées, who does that, and we asked three times for it, and when they finally brought it out, it was very watery..my husbands dish was wrong because the waitress did not listen to him..my Fajitas were ok. Chicken had a good flavor, the steak was over cooked, I can only assume everybody who gave more then 3 stars has never had real Latin food, or the real cook must have had the night off...very disappointed that I wasted over $30 dollars...(and that was because I found a coupon at the hotel I was staying at) read more

I was introduced to Peruvian rotisserie chicken (pollo a la brasa) when I visited Lima in 2016. Simply amazing. No other style of rotisserie chicken compares. I was hooked, so I started looking for it here in the states, and I've been able to find it here and there. I came across this gem a couple of weeks ago. It does not disappoint. The flavors, portions, and service are top notch. I highly recommend this establishment. read more

Great service, wonderfully flavorful food. Menu has options for people who don't like cilantro. Server was very considerate with special requests. Food was a huge portion size. Would recommend to friends. read more

Don't judge a book by its cover. The food itself is excellent and flavorful! Had the lunch buffet; it did not disappoint

I visited El Sabroson, while I was in Williamsburg on business. I would like to say that by no means is this a bad restaurant, not 5 stars by any means. A lot of people added to their reviews that this place is "traditional", let me say this is misleading. This place is not that, by any means of the word. First off it has a mix of Peruvian and Central American influence, two cultures whom do not share much in the way of tastes and condiments. I ordered a fried taco entree with guacamole, and "Pollo a la brasa" (chicken on the grill). The guacamole was excellent, fresh and plenty of flavor with a spicy kick due to the peppers mixed in. Sadly my chicken was another story. It seems the chicken is not fresh made, it was cooked earlier and frozen to preserve (yuuuck!) then it is nuked on the microwave to prep for service. Which if there is a restaurant bible, this would be first or second in the list of commandments. I managed to eat half of my portion before I had enough. Disappointing to say the least. Around the restaurant they have banners and newspaper clippings praising this restaurant for great food, I think its time to take those down and take a hard look at our quality and what's being served to customers. In conclusion I felt like I was in the before stage of Kitchen Nightmares before Gordon Ramsey comes and out and says the "Food is Shit"... Wanted to write this review to ensure everyone understood that this in no way shape or form represents "authentic" Peruvian dishes. And sadly it embarrasses me that it is advertised as such. read more

The Pupusa is not that good but they have great service there and they got me new food.

This is the only restaurant we visited twice while visiting. We have 2 teenage kids and like fun atmospheres that serve good food at a fair price. Portions were Large. Service great. BEst tasting margeritta I had anyplace! Sizzling fajita fantastic. This is ina strip mall. And locally owned. read more

Happened to find El Sobreson on yelp while visiting in Williamsburg. Walking distance from most hotels. Food was to die for. Manager and two other employees asked how everything was. They have a Gem here. Worth trying in town!!! Very good prices and awesome service!! read more

Found this place through yelp, good find! They have the best fajitas and guacamole I have ever had and their queso blanco was really great. They were out of fried ice cream, but they had churros with ice cream :) Good, friendly service. read more

Delicious...loved it, for a Mexican restaurant in Williamsburg, it can compete everywhere!

Our first El Salvadoran food, and it was awesome. The puposas were so good with their spicy cabbage and pepper sauce condiments, my hubby loves the shrimps ceviche, and our entrees were just as good. I had the carne asada which was great with fried egg, and the fried plantains were truly delicious. Not expensive either. Service was good. Definitely coming back! Warning: the puposas are a meal to themselves! read more

Delicious and authentic! Also great and friendly service. Stay away from the franchises. Come have delicious food, tastes like home cooking. :) read more

Good food reasonably priced. Good for the kids. Only drawback is it is very small so not a lot of seating. Was very busy while we were there. read more

First time to this restaurant at lunch today. We took recommendations from the waiter for the meal and tried Peruvian food with plantain, it was excellent. Waiter and staff were friendly and helpful. They also had a good selection of Mexican and Latino food. Price was reasonable, they also have a store attached and the restroom were clean. read more

The food was good. The Peruvian charcoal chicken wasn't as good as I've had elsewhere, but the plantains were awesome. Taqueria were good and the fajitas were well seasoned. I'd eat here again. read more

We just pulled into town and needed some dinner. Pulled up yelp and found this gem. Awesome, authentic Mexican and Latin American cuisine. Loved the salsa bar, really good guacamole and awesome dinners. Our boys loved the quesadilla and enchiladas. Wife had shrimp and I had steak. The owner was incredibly personable and made us feel welcomed. Definitely will be back!! read more

Initially ordered the carne asada tacos, but Jackie recommended we swap out one of the beef for the roasted chicken. We we're glad we took her suggestion! We look forward to coming back to order the whole chicken another time. Plantains were just the right amount of sweet. Husband had a delicious michelada. It was our first time trying papusas. Very savory and a new comfort food! Thanks for the meal! read more

We have tried this restaurant twice now. Both times the guacamole was some of the very best we have ever had. Fresh and full of flavor. The other food was just OK, and the salsa tasted like it had a huge amount of oregano in it. My biggest complaint was the margaritas. They were large but had virtually no flavor and no tequila. They were inexpensive so I guess you get what you pay for. There are better options for Mexican food in Williamsburg. We will probably get their guacamole as a takeout only. read more

Food was good. The chicken was delicious. We ordered a whole chicken for 3 of us. The rice was bland we had to add salt! They did not have oil & vinegar for my salad which was kind of crazy! But overall the food was good!! read more

Delicious, authentic Mexican food with large portions. They have their own salsa bar, from which you can create your own salsa. Glad I found it on yell, because I would not have otherwise noticed it, as it is not directly visible. Would definitely recommend this place. read more

I have eaten take-out from this restaurant twice and it is to die for. I am from Herndon, VA, a place with a high Hispanic, central american population, and i have yet to find a latin restaurant in Williamsburg that pales in comparison to this. As my boss from California said, "This is the best meal i have ever eaten in Williamsburg." I wont bother with the other local Latin and Mexican food options AGAIN. read more

Well I saw this on OrderUp and also here on Yelp, figured I'd give it a try. I placed an order for delivery. I ended up getting a Chicken Burrito. It was pretty big and def worth it. If you're hungry, I'd recommend you check them out read more

Fantastic food and attentive staff. Casual and family friendly. Outside is nondescript.

Just walked in with husband to try the Peruvian style chicken. What a disappointment! The chicken was dry and extremely salty. The Spanish rice was also dry and.salty. I guess we are used to dining in New York restaurants . Don't waste your money!! Sorry nothing but the truth! :-) The waiter was decent no complaints pertaining to his service. read more

I was looking for a Mexican restaurant to go out to eat with my parents who were visiting from out of town. I picked El Sabroson based on the reviews. We were not disappointed! The service was quick, friendly, and helpful (especially in explaining the various dishes I had never heard of before), the price was great, and the food was amazing! The guacamole was so fresh (they make it to order!) and delicious, and so was the rest of the food we ordered. The portions were huge so it was great for sharing and trying different things. One of the owners was actually our server, and he was incredibly welcoming and helpful. Definitely recommend; I can't wait to go back! read more

One of the best restaurants I've ever been to, hands down. Food: Delicious and authentic. I have never had a dish I didn't like there. I recommend the Mi Canton Combo - it's got a lot of variety and it's all good. Also any of their other dishes. Literally all of it is amazing. Service: Every server I've had has been SO nice. My first time there, I had trouble deciding what I wanted and the server gave us great suggestions and a lot of time - but also let us know that she wanted to get our orders in before another large table so we wouldn't have to wait, which was helpful. Prices: Incredibly good for the amount of food they give you. Their burritos are twice the size of other major burroto chains' burritos. I usually end up getting at least one, usually two meals out of the leftovers. Also, the little store it connects to is lovely and has a lot of well-priced spices/other cooking supplies. read more

Excellent Mexican food but also some other great Latin American choices that'll make you rethink why there aren't other Latin American options besides Mexican around. The owners are very friendly and have an awesome story. Try it out and you might not go back to Plaza anymore! read more

Ate here for the first time today and was not disappointed! The pupusas were excellent as was the Peruvian chicken taco. My boyfriend had chorizo and eggs and said it was delicious. Our server, Jacklyn, was very nice and attentive. Prices are very reasonable for the quality of food. The tienda that is attached to the restaurant is pretty neat, with a big selection. Will definitely be coming back to eat here again! read more

Great food. A nice variety, including authentic Peruvian and El Salvador menu items. Went with a group of 6 and tried a variety of items and liked it all. Good service in a casual atmosphere. Not a dress up spot which is fine for most. The guacamole was a good appetizer. read more
