Been here twice, food is simple, but cheap, fast and tastes good. Appears to be a family owned place ( I don't know for a fact, just a guess ), which is always a plus in my book. I like supporting family business instead of corporate chains. read more

Second time at this mex place, I find each time that the food lacks in flavor, salsa had no salt or jalapeño /chile flavor , the refried beans bland, flour tortillas were Hal's way cooked, too undone on one side and lightly brown on the other and no salt.. The pork in chile verde , again no flavor , these folks need to rethink their food line and cook fresh, not a food line and stay away from microwaves, serving food in burn your hand hot plates does not mean having fresh made dishes served a la cart as mexican food should be done. read more

We used to eat at this place pretty often. We were trying to go to taqueria Donna Maria. It's new but they close. We all wanted Mexican food that day do we decided to come here. It was quiet but yet we waited forever for our food. I guess the cook wasn't there yet. So we snack on chips and salsa. Once we got our food. I was disappointed. The plate were hot but our food was Luke warm. It's just not the same anymore. I will give it another try in the future. read more

Food OK, but warm beer and bland salsa. We go here once a month because it's just around the corner. Spoke to owner through translator....suggested improvements to beer temperature and salsa quality. He acknowledged.... will update this review after next visit. read more

This place is just okay. The greeter was very unpleasant. Looked like she hated life and everyone who came in the door. It's crazy to me how places out here in Florida throw up corona signs and flags and say they're a Mexican restaurant. I played it safe ordering chilaquiles and boy was I wrong with saying safe it tasted like it was just chips with cheese. No enchilada sauce at all. read more

My husband and I both had chicken tacos. They brought us beef. Didn't realize till we took a bite. The meat was like mush. Then they brought us the chicken tacos.Yuck, we didn't even finish our food. I don't even know what else to say. Service was ok read more

Just left here! Can't say if the food was good but the service is horrible! We were seated brought chips and salsa. But no one ever came to take our order. We were seated on the patio the waitress made eye contact with once but didn't approach us! After 30 minutes we left! Ruined our date night. First time there and most likely will be our only time! read more

This restaurant was the worse. Was made to feel like a criminal after our party tried to use two coupons. After being told one coupon we were made to choose between children eat free or a buy one get one coupon. You lost out on four paid entrees because of this. The server was very snarky and uninformed about specials. I can not recommend this place. I have been here two times before with rude service and subpar microwaved food. Three strikes your out. read more

Some of the worst Mexican food I've ever had. I had my wife do a blind taste test. Their fresh food vs some enchilada chicken meat I made the previous day. She said she would rather have my microwave leftovers. Their salsa was literally the worst salsa I have ever had. Canned la Victoria is better. The ground beef tasted old, the chili rellano had a disturbing aftertaste. Amazingly bad. read more

I have eaten here many times and have never had a bad meal. It is occasionally extraordinary and routinely good -- both the food and the service. If they have it, get the tamal which ranges from good to better-than-Mexico. We've eaten everything on the menu that is not a fish and not once have we let really disappointed. The only reason they do not get five stars is consistency. When they're good they are amazing; when they';re not, they are merely really, really good. read more

Came to eat here with two friends for a happy hour evening. I was not impressed with the service (slow). My first drink I tried a margarita - it was pretty watered down, although it came in a HUGE glass. I stuck to beer after. My food was alright, but seemed to be missing spices. Nothing to write home about. Chips were fresh and salsa was good though. Not good enough for me to want to return though. read more

Had meeting with a customer today! Enjoyed some great Mexican Food! Fast food and a great value. I had the Chicken Burrito with Salsa Verde. Nothing better! read more

We have gone there twice and ordered different items, the food was awful!! I have not had a good server that acted like they really wanted to help... the servers would hang out in the kitchen talking to other servers or on their cell phones, watching a workers kid that's running around, and hanging out talking at the serving station. I don't like having to wait 10 minutes for a bill to only take it to the register for another lady who is preoccupied with the same kid running around and being rude as well.... never did I get a thanks for coming or how was your meal. I will not be returning even if it were free. Very disappointing. read more

As lovers of Mexican food and people that have been to Mexico (and not a resort in Mexico-the real deal!) This place was Very Disappointing. It's pretty bad when Chipotle, Taco Bell and Moe's are better! We ordered the flautas and the chicken was dryer than the desert! And the flavor? Zero! The beef? No flavor! Guacamole? Again no flavor! We couldn't even finish our meal. We asked to speak to the manager and they never came to the table. Not cool! Don't you care about your business? Customers? As a business owner myself, customer service and feedback is everything! The server was great and we tipped her, regardless-it wasn't her fault and appreciate her kindness. The one star is for her! read more

Sabor A Mexico - Mexican Near Me - Brandon, Florida

First time here...it started raining hard while driving around and settled on this place as nobody in our party had been here before...upon entering we learned the electricity was out due to the storm. They invited us in and we stayed for drinks and dinner. The staff was very friendly...The waitress was hardly around but the food was good. It would be a great place to come and drink Margaritas and relax. We will come back to this place again read more

The food was unappetizing and not edible. Service was good. When we told them we weren't pleased they didn't offer us anything. This was the worst Mexican we have ever had. read more

Best Mexican food in Tampa Bay. I doubt there's any restaurant better than here in Brandon. Amazing margaritas and fajitas

We love this place. The staff are friendly and we get to know them- they know our names!! We love the margaritas, fajitas, queso, child relleno, all of it! Horacio is the best! read more

We will stick with our other favorite Mexican Restaurant. for a Saturday night, this place wasn't busy at all. They do have music/karaoke in the front that is kind of loud if your not into that. Luckily we sat on the side, music volume was low enough to hear each other talk. Menu prices are good, our bill for 2 was less than $20. The service was good, once we ordered, food was out in 5 minutes. but the food was just average, nothing wowed us about the flavors. read more

Food is good, it's more tex mex then mexican for who thinks it's authentic mexican, but would recommend.

Very good fajitas. The service from one waitress was great but another sucked and was rude. She even tried to charge us for dinner portion at noon when I asked why she said it was what I asked for, it wasn't. Then she said it was bigger. The next time I went I asked and were told they were same portions. Very good though and delicious cheese dip but pricey. I've been a few times since read more

This is what I expect from an inexpensive sit-down Mexican restaurant! The menu has all the standard tex-mex fare (fajitas, chile relleno, burrito, taco, enchilada, etc). They are extremely fast and polite. The food is inexpensive and appetizing, and the ingredients are high quality. This restaurant is a well-kept secret. I only wish they would expand the menu to a little more exotic fare - but then it might be hard to keep the prices down. This is our favorite evening getaway, especially Mondays, when the fajitas are the special of the day! read more

THE QUESO!! Mmmm!! I always order the chicken fajitas from here, or taco salad. Hubs always eats their quesadillas.

Love this restaurant! The ambiance is wonderful. The service was great. Oh yes..the food is fantastic..Ceviche is to die for! Drinks are plentiful and yummy! Very friendly and accomodating! My new home away from home!!!! read more

This is our favorite Mexican restaurant in the Tampa area, great, friendly and very special servers. The building is in need of some work.

Great food, customer service was outstanding , whould recommend if you what Mexican food

Great place to eat. Wonderful food, excellent prices, great staff. If you are looking for good food at an affordable price, check this place out. Five out of five stars. read more

My favorite restaurant by far. The food is always delicious and the staff super friendly. You couldn't find an more authentic environment.

The food is amazing. The service is great. The manager walks around and helps his servers, greets the customers and checks on them throughout their experience. Clean, friendly and delicious....hard to find anymore. You won't be disappointed. read more

The food here is very good! The prices are quite reasonable. You can go as a couple, bring a family or a group of friends and they will accomodate you easily! Service is quick and efficient. The interior is a very rustic, cantina style. Thursday nights they have a Mariachi band that is a lot of fun!! While the frozen strawberry margaritas leave a little bit to be desired, I still order them!!! I love the chicken chimichanga!!! The chips and slasa are good too. read more

I think people who have posted have not been to Sabor in a very long time. Times appear to have changed. Mexican is an interpretation. The influence is definitely what "Americans" expect to be Mexican. Chips, Queso, salsa and the environment are pretty much what you would expect. The difference is the fact their food is made from scratch to order and is quite good. Every time I drive by, the parking lot is full. Eating here tonight, the place is full. The wait staff is trying their best to keep up. It is a bit slow but that is ok. The food is worth the wait. Even the owner is into the dinner service doing what he can to expedite, serving chips, salsa, meals and what ever it takes. Oh by the way, they do have a liquor license and a small outdoor area. read more

Love this place. Most of the staff recognizes me and knows my order since I'm there 1-3 times a week. I usually get soft beef tacos, and they often come out faster than fast food! The chips are usually warm (have had them sometimes when they're not) and the salsa is very good. I'm not a fan of chunky salsa, so theirs is perfect for me. My bill is usually about $5 for a stuffed soft beef taco, drink, chips, and salsa. In addition to the tacos, I really like the shrimp quesadillas and enchiladas (not sure it both are the menu, but they'll do them if you ask). The shrimp is nicely seasoned. The cheese they put on everything is really good too :) read more

I have been going to Sabor A Mexico for almost 5 years. They have almost the same staff. While they have a number of great servers, Sara is our favorite. If you love a spicy white cheese dip...they have the best. Portions are generous and the food always comes out quickly. Best Mexican I have found in the area. read more

Not sure where the rest of you have been eating, but we have been about 8 times in the last few months. Food is fresh and good! Nice warm chips with fresh great salsa arrives immediately! We try to go on Saturday to get the very reasonable lunch specials menu. More than enough food to fill up the biggest appetite, always fresh, flavorful and satisfying! Sangria to die for. Good job Sabor A Mexico, Good Job. read more

The food we ordered was a carry out and a pretty large order. We came to the restaurant and ordered in person thinking that would be easier for the order taker. We did not get at all what we ordered and we got extra that we didn't order. So basically it was a mess. The food was okay but not outstanding. The staff was very kind and seemed competent so I'm thinking the mess up occurred in the kitchen. If it had not been a carry out I'm sure they would have fixed it. I would eat there again but I would eat in not carry out. read more

Our family went to Sabor A Mexico last night and was so thrilled with the service and attention we received. The food was wonderful and drinks were delicious. I would certainly tell my friends to try this restaurant out. There is a lot of room in the restaurant and they also have a back patio for more seating. We will be coming back with our friends in the near future. The atmosphere was so pleasant and cute decorations. Dorothy K from Sun City Center read more

Beware if you are sensitive to MSG (Monosodium Glutamate) because Sabor uses it extensively (at least on their steak burrito). Man, they used so much it really kicked my butt ... but unfortunately you don't know they are using it until you have already consumed it. I had the steak burrito (which tasted okay) but then after about 2 hours got the dreaded "MSG headache" which lasted for about 36 hours (even Tylenol doesn't completely block the pain from an MSG headache). Some folks may not even realize a headache they are feeling after about 2 hours after eating suspect food is caused by MSG (IT IS!). I put a post-it note on my fridge (Sabor = MSG = Pain). That says it all for me. read more

Excellent Mexican food, fast service and Always a pleasant visit. Totally recommend giving it a try.

Just wanted to make it known to someone who hopefully cares about what a terrible experience we had on Monday. We moved from the inside to outside because the restaurant smelled so strong of cleaning products. We ordered 2 margaritas and white queso dip to start.. the margaritas had a lime green powdered mix floating around the whole glass with a dried out.. old lime wedge which made them disgusting and not drinkable. The queso had obviously just been microwaved then brought to our table because nobody even stirred it because there was a thick film over the top and burnt cheese around the rim of the bowl. My husbands enchiladas tasted good but the rice and beans were old and reheated one too many times. My fajitas were horrible... barely any meat on the skillet and whatever meat was there was hard as a rock and not edible. Everything I asked for as my fajita toppings came out wrong and they we got charged additionally when the server fixed her mistake and brought me the right toppings. Server didn't care to ask why hardly any food was eaten and why our margaritas were not drank. We finally ordered a beer in hopes of enjoying the weather on the patio... frosty mugs and good beer... until there was black stuff floating around the bottom of my mug. My husband was sick the entire evening through the next morning and had to miss a few hours of work. HORRIBLE experience and nobody cared to make anything right ... as long as they got paid. Restaurant should not even be open for business. read more

. We have been going to this place since the day it opened and have always been satisfied with the food and service...Yesterday, I believe was the turning point. The service was ok at best but the disappointment was over the food. My gold margarita tasted like a cheap margarita mix the stuffed jalapeno peppers were cut in half..not whole like the used to be..and the cheese filling was not the usuall Queso Blanco that they used to use and have listed on the menu..it was a clumpy cheap orange-ish cheese and not even the dipping sauce killed the processed cheese taste. I got the Mexican Shrimp Cocktail..wanted to try something different ...it was so nasty! the Pico sauce was nothing but bottled ketchup! It was literally shrimp drowned in ketchup and a few chunks of avocado. I removed the little shrimp...not jumbo as listed..out of the glass to wipe off the ketchup. The hostest finally came back to my table and asked if everything was ok...I told her no...my Mexican Shrimp Coctail was terrible and tastes like straight ketchup. All she said was .oh yea sorry..it a a bit sweet..Really? It wasn't sweet ..it was a glass of ketchup not Pico cocktail sauce! She.never asked if she could get me something else..just walked away. My husband's food was just ok at best..we don't know what to think about this. experience? Are they trying to cut cost by cutting g the quality of the food? It definitely was a big disappointment. As we were leaving, a couple walked out..they were very upset! Said they waited for 25 minutes and no one ever came back to their table! The Hostess at the check out register just looked at them..shrugged her shoulders and said 'sorry" and looked away! The people were furious! We paid and left right behind them. Out in the parking lot I could still hear them venting their frustration..doubt they will be back anytime soon! We are not sure either if we want to go back..the quality of the food and the service has went way down..too bad we used to love this place and I'm so disappointed! Not the same anymore...no longer our favorite place for margaritas..nothing worse than paying for premium tequila and getting a cheap margaritas mix that was foamy...not clear like they used to be...what happened to this place? read more
