Sabor A Mexico ("Flavor of Mexico"). Mineral, VA. Dec, 2025. My husband and I just returned from Tucson, AZ where, being so close to the Mexican border, we had some excellent Mexican food. We have since returned home to our rural community in Virginia, and went to Sabor A Mexico for an early dinner. The waitress immediately brought us a basket of their complimentary fresh tortilla chips, and their homemade (excellent) salsa. Per our usual habit, we split our entrees. I ordered a grilled taco plate ($12.47) which features three flour tacos, with choice of meat, refried beans, rice, homemade pico de gallo, and another sauce (tasty, but not sure what it was). I got one each of chicken, carnitas (pork) and carne asada (steak) tacos. My husband predictably? got a taco salad ($9.62) with ground beef, refried beans, iceberg lettuce, tomato, shredded cheese, and sour cream, served in a deep fried shell. All of the food was tasty and was as authentic as the Mexican food we ate in Tucson. Quantities were excellent. I couldn't eat "my half", and turned the plate back to my husband to finish off. Our waitress was attentive, checking on us regularly to see if we needed anything. A few small quibbles -- we prefer a salsa with some chunks in it; this one was over-processed for our preference. Also, the pico de gallo was more liquidy than we'd prefer. It made the rest of the food a bit wet. Beyond the restaurant's control, taxes are high at 11.3%, with the town of Mineral getting 6% whereas the state of Virginia gets 5.3%. We enjoy this restaurant, and will return. read more

Consistently good! My go-to whenever in town. Enjoy the Enchiladas Verdes! Good eats for a good price.

Excellent food and even better service! One request- white sauce, please! Otherwise very good authentic Mexican food!

Let's taco bout this busy spot in the heart of Mineral! We were on our way to Culpeper and had a hankering for Mexican food, lo and behold, we spotted Sabor! Upon entering, we were greeting by a pleasant lady who was a busy bee! We ordered our meals "to go" and while we waited, this lady brought us our sodas and chips & salsa to snack on. The festive decor was typical of most Mexican restaurants. It was clean, but with some supplies stacked against the walls and cluttered counters which were a bit of an eyesore. The restroom was nice and tidy though! You can tell this is a hopping place for locals because they flocked here! True, there aren't many other joints in this small town! Nevertheless, on this beautiful spring day, several customers were enjoying the outdoor seating with tables bedecked with bright market umbrellas! Others were inside the galley styled floor plan, munching on their meals! Our food came out Piping hot and well packaged with additional chips and salsa! The tortilla chips were warm, delicate, crispy. I chose the taquitos, because what's easier to eat on the road than a rolled taco?! What a huge portion for the price! My entree came with two hefty beef and two yummy chicken taquitos on a bed of rice, served with lettuce, tomato, cheese, guac and sour cream! I wish I had taken a photo before I chowed down! The meats were tender and juicy, with flavorful spices and packed a wallop! Amazing! My sis ordered the chicken quesadilla and was equally impressed with her meal! Once we arrived at our destination, we finished up the tangy rice and sides! We savored every bite! The prices were great and service was fast, and I'll be sure to stop into Sabor, meaning "to taste", next time I'm passing Mineral, VA for a taste of Mexico! read more

A simple Mexican restaurant with very average food. Although service was sufficient, the down draw is the food both in quality and quantity. Our party of six all agreed to this rating for dinner. The meals were relatively smaller in size and the quality is just mediocre. Nothing special about any dish. Ambiance is low budget. You get what you pay generally and when I paid the bill, all the prices reflected a 10-25% increase from the menu prices. This is deceptive. I gave this place a 3* which I think is generous. Looking for some improvement if I return. read more

This is a great restaurant in a cute little town. It doesn't look like much from the outside, but boy wait to you sit down and get a taste of the real authentic Mexican food. The business is family owned and run. Super curtious people who get their delicious food out quick! You cannot beat the price either! I promise you will not be disappointed to drive a few extra miles out in the country for this great food. read more

Sabor A Mexico - Burrito Grande - Mexican Near Me - Mineral, Virginia

Visiting from out of town for a large family gathering. We ordered catering for dinner. Olga (maybe the owner?) took our order and was very helpful in suggesting the correct portion sizes and patiently worked with us to get our order right. Food was ready on time, packed well, and fresh. We ordered a variety of appetizers and entrees (all vegetarian) and everything was delicious. Simple dishes like cheese enchiladas really stood out with the quality of their ingredients, homemade sauces and salsas. The chile relleno was one of the best I've ever had. You won't go wrong ordering from here. read more

Ok, I've traveled a lot for business and recreation. I want to start writing more reviews to help like-minded people! Anyway, I say that because I believe you can look at how someone reviews things, and if everyone gets high ratings you are just not believing it. This is a Mexican restaurant in Mineral, VA look up the population! This is a one-light town. Yet this restaurant challenges the Mexican food I've had while living in SoCal. Their service has always been great. The real thing holding me back from the full 5-star is I haven't eaten Mexican food in Texas or Mexico so until then! And another small drawback is the size of the restaurant and parking lot. But as I mentioned earlier look at the population of Mineral. It's not beneficial for them to have an outlandish parking lot for how much business they get all year long. read more

Excellent food and service. Our first go-to Place when we get here. Best Mexican food ever and I had a lot in southern California ‍ read more

Delicious food cooked fresh in the kitchen. Very nice staff. Gots kinda crowded sometimes because it's popular.

We have been eating here for years. The food is consistently fresh and delicious! We have tried almost everything on the menu. Our favorites are the burrito California, grilled chicken tacos, quesadillas, and arroz con pollo. The staff are all so friendly and know us by name. If you're in the area and want Mexican, this is the spot! read more

An absolute gem in town. We were visiting and got take out after the long drive into town. This place is very cute on the inside. We got our order quickly and it was so much food. Portions were very generous. Also the salsa was delicious. I loved what I got (carnitas) and what my sister let me try of her food as well. It was delicious and I'd recommend this place to anyone. read more

Visited this place while camping at Lake Anna State Park, so we are not local. Place was difficult to park at with our big ol truck but we found a suitable spot. The salsa that went with the chips was quite good. Had plenty of flavor and a hint of heat. The #8 combo that was enchilada, taco, beans and rice didn't look special but was full of flavor and was quite delicious. The chilaquiles also didn't look special or what was expected but was also Full of flavor and taste very good. It's definitely a small town restaurant but it was all good and we will definitely be back when we visit the area when camping again. read more

Had take out (pickup) for dinner last night. My burrito was A plus for taste and portion size. The tomatoes in the pico sauce were fresh and very flavorful. No pre made frozen food here. The boys in the kitchen make each order from scratch. Out here in the county we have few real food options. We are lucky to have Sabor as our local go to shop for Mexican fare. read more

Service was quick. Typical Mexican restaurant ambiance. Ordered fish taco bowl. Delicious. Will come back.

Nice Mexican joint in a very small town. The decor is typical mexican cafe but kind of quirky. Doesnt look like much from the outside, and some areas look a bit cluttered inside but dont let that fool you. It was very clean and tidy. Lots of tables and booths inside as well as some outside. We were quickly greeted by a very pleasant lady upon entering who took us to our seat. Soon after someone dropped by with a basket of chips and dish of salsa. The chips are light and crispy and the salsa addictive. Our server took out drink orders. They have a full bar , beer and wine, though it is not on the menu. Margaritas are a good size and delicious-beers ice cold, great prices too. We ordered a couple plates. Tacos, burritos enchiladas and chile rellenos. They arrived piping hot and the cheese melting. The flavors are good. You kind of need to let it cool a bit and congel. All were delicious. Good portion sizes. Other dishes I saw being served looked equally well prepared. The staff was friendly as well other customers. Its kind of a local favorite, so they get quite busy. We had a great time and enjoyed our meals very much. This is a hidden gem for sure !! read more

Whenever I drive from DC to Richmond (the long way), I stop for lunch at this place. Food is good, it's inexpensive, and the service is good. Seems like a family run place, but I don't know. It's always good. read more

We stopped in for dinner after playing baseball locally. First impression was not great. Hostess seemed confused and said only 3 words to us before silently walking us to our table. She sat our party of 9 in a back room that was dimly lit and had a half constructed/painted wall. Room seemed to be an afterthought. Waitress was very attentive and friendly as was the server who brought out the food. Food was typical fare but enjoyed by all. Large portions and served quickly. read more

Prices are fair, food is good, staff is friendly and portions are generous. Definitely recommend.

Their Mixed Fajitas (steak & chicken) are delicious and you receive a generous portion. The refried beans and rice were the typical accompaniment. Their mole sauce was tasty with a velvety and smooth texture, but could use a bit more spice. Typical chips and salsa. Service for our table was attentive. Their service, tasty food, and reasonable prices makes this a place to return to. read more

Great food, service and price! Kids loved their meals especially the cheese dip. Salsa was homemade and had fresh cilantro in it ... yummy! read more

They have become our favorite Mexican restaurant and we eat Mexican food quite often. Probably been there a dozen times now. Family run and the service is awesome. The food is even better and you can't beat the price for the quality. Their guacamole is really, really quite tasty! read more

Great food at reasonable prices. Friendly family run, casual. Indoor and outdoor seating.

This is a little while in the wall type of place, but it is truly a hidden gem. The salsa is amazing, it has a little zing to it but not enough to offend the non spice lover. Ever time I have come here I have lived the food, it's really worth the visit. This place also has really reasonable prices, so you really can't go wrong. read more

We love going to Sabor a Mexico. The food is delicious, affordable, service is great. Best margaritas around

Solid first visit. It was pretty busy for lunch on the day before Thanksgiving. Chips and salsa were good and my burrito was tasty. Staff wore masks which I appreciate. Portions were on the larger side with some in our party only able to eat half and taking the rest to go. Will definitely visit again when in the area. read more

Owners and staff are extremely nice and helpful. Food is always hot and great. Recommended this for authentic Mexican food

Nice low key Mexican Restaurant in Mineral. Staff very friendly and very good. We started with the queso and the guac. The chips were legit. Very good in their own right. The queso was melted to perfection. The guac was also quite nice. Portions were very good for the price. Dinner was the shrimp tacos. Nicely prepared shirmp. Flour tortillas were warmed and fresh. Treated myself to a margarita which was good. Great food at great prices. Tough to beat this place. read more

Good Mexican food from a lovely family. Love the Poblano Enchiladas. The Burrito Tapatio is also a favorite of ours.

Portions were extremely small for takeout. Tortillas were hard, and we ordered two meals and a cheese dip and we're given two tiny bags of chips. We asked for another bag and were charged. Food was cold. read more

With it's quiet cacophony of pans banging, Spanish speaking, and lightly playing Mexican music, the off-to-the-side room we sat in at Sabor had the ambiance of a Vince Gilligan TV show. You know that distorted buzzing where if you listen really closely you can hear all those things in the background? Right before something bad happens? That's it. Then there's the lack of a full bar, which more specifically for me, means lack of margaritas. Ugh. The waitress was so, so sweet, "sorry, it takes longer for the liquor license to come through, so we just have beer and wine." I ordered sangria. It was tasty, but served straight-up; no ice and no fruit. Which is kind of the whole point of sangria, amiright? Anyway, I was in a good mood when we got here so I was trying everything in my power not to be let down by the smell of cleaner wafting in from the bathrooms. And the lack of tequila in my system. Despite our friendly waitress, I was not feeling super optimistic. I ordered chicken fajitas. Hubby ordered arroz con pollo. The food came out quick--like way quicker than I would have thought possible. The portions of both our meals were HUGE. We easily could have split either, but of course we didn't. And do you want to know why? Three words: the cheese sauce. ERMERGERD. I was absolutely blown away by the food. It was so freakin' good. And as you've probably guessed by now, I ordered extra cheese sauce and added it to my fajitas. We will definitely be back. I hope by then they'll have their liquor license. read more

Sabor A Mexico - Sizzling chicken fajitas - Mexican Near Me - Mineral, Virginia

My husband and I found a real Mexican treasure in the very Center of Mineral,VA. We ordered their homemade Guacamole, which deserves all 5 stars for the flavor and 4 stars for the portion size. I also had Lunch Vegetarian Fajitas, which probably were the best fajitas I've tried in my life. Vegetables were grilled to perfection and had juicy flavor. My husband had Flautitas with beef and chicken. He was overwhelmed by the authenticity and rich flavor of the food. We concluded our exploration of this tiny Mexican place with their delicious smoky-flavored Flan. Oh and of course, our server was the sweetest lady Olga. Thanks a lot for your hospitality Sabor A Mexico! If you are in the area, it is worth dropping by! ;) read more

Sabor A Mexico - Mexican Near Me - Mineral, Virginia

Stopped here for lunch on a recent trip to the Lake for a meeting. Looks like an old building, with an odd layout, but it's worth the stop. My wife and I both ordered off the lunch menu, which was a good idea. Even the lunch portions are very large. I had the chicken fajitas, with rice & refried beans, and everything was very good. As were the chips N salsa. My wife had the chicken chimichanga, also very good. There are not many, if any, mexican options in Mineral or on Lake Anna, so this may become our new favorite when we move to the Lake next summer. read more

We love this place. Everything on the menu is delish! I especially like the quesadilla rellanos. Generous portions. One of our favorite restaurants in town. read more
