This may be the best Mexican restaurant in the area. It's not TexMex. They don't serve burritos. They do have great food and awesome drinks. Adriana was our server and did an excellent job with our group of 7. The chips and salsa to start were excellent. Great salsas and queso for dipping. While they have dining inside and out, we opted for inside. I started off with The Original Michelada which is a spicy type Bloody Caesar in a large Margarita glass with spicy salt on the rim (cayenne?). Then comes the Corona beer which I poured into the concoction. It was not only great, it lasted the entire meal. For main course, I ordered the Enchiladas Mixtas which is 3 different types of chicken enchiladas with different seasonings and flavors. Complimented by refried beans and Spanish rice. Since we had over 6 people, a 20% tip is already included. Everyone in my party had an excellent meal and loved their cocktails, especially the Margaritas. read more

Sabor Cocinabar - Enchiladas Mixtas and a Michelada - Mexican Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

First time trying the pozole and I'm very impressed--delicious and full of flavor. The broth was perfectly flavored, the meat was very tender, and the sides were generous. This place is usually my go-to for chilaquiles, but now I've got another favorite. Staff is always friendly and welcoming. Restaurant ambiance always great. 10/10 recommend. read more

Great beef fajitas! Super service. Solid mezcal. Great location with shopping nearby Clean interior Loved it read more

Great spot for brunch with a beautiful inside and patio seating. They have lots of options for breakfast including pancakes and waffles. There's more typical Mexican options like breakfast plates with huevos rancheros and chilaquiles. The chilaquiles divorciados lets you pick any two of the flavors and it was a big portion. The service was very quick and friendly. read more

Sabor Cocinabar - Chicken green enchiladas were bomb! - Mexican Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

We chose this beautiful restaurant to celebrate a birthday with family, and while the food was absolutely fantastic, it was the incredible staff that we will never forget. During our meal, my daughter's blood sugar dropped dangerously low due to her Type 1 diabetes. An amazing employee named Jordie (apologies if misspelled!) jumped right into action. He went completely above and beyond, rushing out juice, sweet tea, and strawberries with whipped cream to help get her numbers up He kept checking back in to make sure she was okay and even shared that his own little sister has Diabetes, which brought us so much comfort in a scary moment. Thank God she was fine after a while! (And yes, she still had to pay for her dinner, haha, but it was worth every penny!) The ambiance was gorgeous, the food was great, but Jordie's kindness and quick thinking made us customers for life. Thank you, Jordie! read more

This spot was beautiful inside and out! The server who helped us was amazing. He took time to give us recommendations of where to visit in our short time in San Antonio. The food was incredible, their taco suave was amazing, the chiquiles with the eggs is a must!! read more

The restaurant building itself is just beautiful! The plants and flowers just add to its beauty. The service right when you walk in is so welcoming and they take care of you like your family. Our waiter Paul was one of the best waiters we have had in a while. He was friendly to my 2 daughters (2 and 4 year old) and was making jokes with them to keep them laughing. The food was delicious authentic Mexican food. It's not Texmex which we wanted. The mole was a little sweeter than usual but my wife and dad both still loved it. The poblano enchiladas were perfect according to my mom. She wanted it spicy but not too spicy and they definitely met her needs. The fajitas were pretty good. Steak was pretty tough, so I wish they could have cooked it for less time and the chicken was flavorful with the onions and peppers it came with. The best was the cucumber vodkarita. The flavor of cucumber was so strong and you could barely taste the vodka but it gave us a pretty good buzz. Overall a great restaurant and well for sure be regulars. read more

Came here to attend a neighborhood meeting during happy hour. The restaurant is lovely and the staff were all so friendly and attentive. I snacked on chips and queso, which I haven't commented on in a minute, but I almost always order them if they are on the menu. Their queso was velvety smooth and tasty. The chips were addictive. Our waiter was so nice and attentive. He checked on us many times and made sure everyone had water and drinks. I wouldn't mind coming back for a lunch or dinner. read more

Always good food and service! Nice music playing in the background and if the weather is nice you can sit outside under the covered patio.

Food was amazing loved the enchiladas verdes , el cantarito, and house margaritas. Alejandro is now my best friend what a great server very attentive even the other staff members taking care of us so the service is top shelf, chill atmosphere great ambiance. read more

This first time experience was outstanding. Five stars for taste and service. I highly recommend the piña colada as it was a great blend of pineapple and coconut. And it's topped off with whipped cream and a cherry. The happy hour menu items are delicious as well. During this visit, I sampled chicken quesadillas, chicken, flautas, and bean and cheese nachos. All three hit the spot. read more

Entered Sabor Cocinabar to a small hostess area and immediately seated near the bar. Festive environment with great music playing, not too loud today. We waited just a bit for our server but when he did show up we were given excellent service with a smile. Husband and I both ordered the Enchilada Mixtas. Delicious! My favorite was the poblano and husbands the mole enchilada. Rice and beans were good. We were happy with our margaritas. We will return. read more

I'm big on reviewing "best of" lists, and at some point, this joint found its way into my bookmarks thanks to some list... My wife and I arrived early for what we hoped would be a quiet date night, and were seated in the larger "common room" near the kitchen entrance, not the bar/atrium/sun room area. Unfortunately, our date night wasn't so quiet. Shortly after we sat, a large table of about ten was seated nearby. They were so loud (and progressively got louder) we could barely carry on a conversation. I was disappointed in the queso flameado starter as it did not stay soft very long; it hardened quickly. I don't think it's worth the price. What was worth the price, though, was the Tampiquena de Res. The meal was huge, and the skirt steak was not tough to cut. The charro beans were also fantastic. Service was friendly, but spotty. Our waitress checking on us amounted her to asking how everything was as she continued walking by .... I think this place has a great vibe; I'm sorry it was ruined for us by a huge, loud, crowded table. Although I'd skip the queso flameado, I'd definitely go back for that skirt steak! read more

We had a great meal here, the service was fast and friendly and the food was delicious! We also got a standard and virgin margarita which was delicious. I really liked their guacamole and chips and the restaurant itself is very pretty. read more

You can find Mexican food all over the city of San Antonio. We all know that. But if you want HEART WARMING, SOUL TOUCHING GOODNESS then stop in at this spot. They make even every day simple fairs out of this world. The shrimp nachos were absolutely amazing. A full order is not enough. Let me tell you definitely grab extra if you have more than one mouth to feed. The enchiladas (all styles) are absolutely amazing and their drinks are bold, refreshing, and strong. Oooh & the rice & beans?! GAS!!! (Not that flavorless stuff that's been dying in the window for 20 minutes. Lol you know the stuff you find at a lot of commercial Mexican restaurants.) Atmosphere is lovely & the staff are very welcoming and warm. This is one of those spots that should be talked about more. If you're in the neighborhood, definitely don't cheat yourself, treat yourself. This will be an experience you are thankful you opened the door to. Show your friends & family too, this is a good place to get lost in read more

I usually do not eat brunch. Specially American food. I got introduced to this place by my Mexican friend. We went on a Sunday for brunch to eat chilaquiles. I am the type of person who like little hole in the wall Mexican restaurants. This place looks a bit more upscale. The service is on point even though it is always packed! Now about the food it was good but not amazing! It was a bit dry like the plate sat under a food heater or something. It is a fun lively place though for a sunday read more

Came here with family and kids for dinner. Everything that we had tacos, steak, quesadillas. Their chipotle enchilada was especially good. Really great service. Everyone single person in the staff were so warm and welcoming. Alejandro(might have gotten the name wrong) was our server and was so patient especially with two kids in the group. Definitely worth every penny you spend here. read more

The ambiance is beautiful. The entire restaurant is clean. Very well designed. The patio is nice and inviting. Our waiter was Alexander. He was extremely friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. The chips and salsa were very good. We ordered the breakfast tacos which were big and delicious. And we also ordered the chilaquiles de mole, and it's the best mole I've ever had. The manager came around to say hi and introduce himself. Would highly recommend and return. Amazing place! read more

soooo delicious... I will definitely be eating here again... Everything is so amazin. The drinks were yumm...

Food and service very good. Would highly recommend. A few minor gripes however. When paying with a credit card, there is an undisclosed fee 3.5% fee that gets added to your bill. Also the suggested tip is calculated on the post tax and post credit card fee amount. The suggested tip amounts should be based on the pre tax food and beverage subtotal. read more

Super nice and fast service with a cool atmosphere and vibe, enchiladas aztecas were amazing, definitely coming back

I really felt like this place deserves the 5 stars. The service was great from the moment we walked in. The server took our drink order then quickly took our food order when we were ready. She checked in on us to make sure we were okay. The food was very hot and delicious. The chilaquiles were crunchy and the eggs were over easy like I wanted. I will definitely return. read more

Sabor Cocinabar - Chipotle Chilaquiles - Mexican Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Stopped in for lunch today. I've driven by over and again but I've never been in. The place was well lit and the decor was fun! However, the food is a different type of Mexican food. Lots of chipotle in the food. Pozole was on the menu today and I was happy about it. It was ok. No matter how many limes I put in it I couldn't taste the lime or change the color of the broth. When I asked if the corn tortillas were homemade I was told yes....they weren't! We also ordered chicken soft tacos. They were also ok. But the sauce was orange and not the typical ranchera sauce you would expect. We also tried the beef enchiladas. Those were tasty! The service was good. There was one waitress for the entire place and she was great! I'm glad we went but I don't think we will be back! read more

Stopped in July 5th (after attempting on the 4th but they were closed) for lunch with our kiddos and a nice, cool spot to watch the France/Portugal soccer game. We did have to wait a bit to be seated as there was no one at the entrance. As I proceeded to walk around and snap pics is when we were acknowledged and quickly seated near the bar area. What was immediately appealing to this restaurant was the ambiance - beautifully art displayed and a cute place for a photo op. Our server was wonderful, however, I don't recall his name and he didn't have a name tag. He was attentive and was able to quickly answer any questions we had and more than helpful in directing us to parts of the menu we were looking for. We tried a margarita flight and a house margarita (happy hour). Flight had passion fruit (least fav), strawberry (fav), sangria swirl (2nd fav), and mango (which was okay - the most artificially flavored one. All were beautifully dressed with chamoy and tajin and the house was requested to be this way (instead of salt). Beef enchiladas - both kiddos chose this plate and there were no complaints. Lots of flavorful sauce and heaps of meat and cheese. Not spicy and the rice and beans were tasty and not missing anything. Fried fish tacos - warm, perfectly fried, not greasy and lots of fresh ingredients AND the corn tortillas were just like my grandmas! Handmade, warm, and delicious. The only lacking part on these tacos was there could have been a sauce to bring it all together and add a little moisture. If there way, I didn't see or taste it. A lime added to the plate to squeeze through would have been good but they were still great, regardless. Enchiladas verdes - tomatillo sauce was good, not spicy and the food was delivered hot and very fresh. All in all, wonderful experience, great service, and a beautiful setting. When we come back to San Antonio, we will certainly be making another stop in, definitely to try the brunch menu. read more
