Decided to give this place a shot even though we're taco snobs. They said they made the guacamole in house so I was excited to order that and cheese dip (which came with chips). Ordered the carne asada tacos and chicken with green sauce tamales. Don't be deceived by the gas station - hole in the walls are the best. Service didn't take long either for making everything fresh! read more

Sabor De La Vida has great Yelp reviews and I love a great taco. I was surprised to find them colocated with a gas station, but the restaurant is roomy and clean. The clerk was friendly and upbeat. The menu offers standard Mexican fare. Prices are ok. I ordered my standard three chicken tacos to go and paid. He said it would take about 10 minutes. My tacos were delicious, packed with meat and cilantro. The chicken was moist and the red and green sauces were amazing with a lot of flavor and a slight kick. The corn shells stayed together nicely. Perfect. I'll be back. There is parking on the side of the building. Restroom are in the gas station portion of the building. read more

Unexpected greatness! Really great & welcoming service from the minute we walked in. The food was delicious. Went with the tacos and enchiladas, both chicken. Quick service. Amazing prices. I loved it! Small little spot, a few people in and out on a Monday at lunch time, but overall pretty quiet. I recommend if you're passing through on a road trip or a local looking for lunch! Delish. read more

It's a travesty that there's a Taco Bell right next to such a hidden gem. Yes, this place is connected to a gas station, but don't let that keep you away. My food was excellent, the guy behind the counter was super helpful, and I went away full for not a lot of money. So glad I listened to my fellow Yelpers on this one! read more

Sabor De La Vida - Chicken, asada, and carnitas tacos with chips, guacamole, and a Coke. - Mexican Near Me - Edinburgh, Indiana

Great food and service. Everything homemade! Wife had chicken tacos and I had chicken burrito. Excellent. Highly recommend

Tacos 10/10. Chips & Queso warm & yummy. Nice service, he brought hot sauces in cute lil cups to the table.

The place is deceptive outside. Inside the restaurant is clean and well maintained. The food was excellent, very authentic with lots of dishes I don't typically see at more Americanized Mexican restaurants. Server took care of us fine. The chips came out with three types of salsa that were the best I've ever had. The main dishes were excellent as well. This place is a hell of a hole in the wall. read more

This restaurant is attached to a gas station... don't let it fool you, the food is really good, in the picture we had sopes, a cuban torta, and a pupusa. The pupusa was very flavorful, the curtido that it came with confused my taste buds a bit, all of the food had a lot of flavor, it was obvious that it was freshly done, and very delicious. The guy taking my order was also cooking, so food did take a bit, I did think it is worth the wait. I liked that it's a low key place, not fancy at all, and yet very much worth it. Will 100% go again. read more

If you want a quick area to go to eat this place is the best the drink are good and taco the best and warm

Adam P is spot on. Delicious tacos. Skip the chains that serve mediocre food. If you want good Mexican food, this is the spot.

My partner and I went to this over the weekend after shopping at the outlet mall; their spot is situated at the Marathon gas station. This place was such a big surprise .... very clean inside and there's a few tables. The food was awesome; tacos were delicious and so were the tamales they were so good; we started eating before taking pictures. Sorry We are so glad that we found this place. We will be back for sure. read more

I stop here for Tamales whenever I'm in the area. The staff is friendly and the service is quick. The Tamales are top notch. The carnitas tacos are pretty good, too. read more

I had to try Mexican food at a gas station in Edinburgh. It was a honest, hard working pop-mom shop owned by Mexicans. I was glad I went. They were very friendly and polite. Got lots of chips with my meal. Salsa was good. Lots of families filling up tables on a weekend lunch. I had 3 tacos of carne asada, al pastor and chicken. They were quite tasty, but the tortilla shells were doubled on each taco, overwhelming the taste of the meat. There were little meat compared to the size of the tortillas. Otherwise, I don't mind coming back here to try different items. read more

Hidden at the gas station, but a real delightful meal with great service. Affordable lunch and flexible on small adjustments to menu requests. Seek this place out over several chain restaurants in the area. read more

I ordered the lunch special tacos through GrubHub. I had pollo and carnita pork. The meats were well seasoned and flavorful! The tacos came fully dressed with the various garnishes and toppings you normally expect in a street taco. I appreciate that they mince their onions and radish so that every bite gets those tastes. My food arrived fresh and hot and tasted good. Overall, if you like Taqueria style Mexican food this is a great place to eat! read more

Stopped at the gas station to just get a drink and found this little Mexican restaurant. What a hidden gem! Very friendly service, the food was prepared fresh and was really awesome. The chicken is not dry at all and the refried beans were the best we ever tasted! The pork Tacos were so delicious that I could eat them every day! The salsas all made fresh and you can tell they have a lot of pride and love in their food! We will definitely be back! Stop by and check them out! read more

For a small spot, the food was delicious and affordable. I love Mexican food and this place kind of reminded me of home. The customer service was fantastic and wish the team all the best. Recommend to try this place and see for yourself. read more

This a true hole in the wall and absolute gem of a restaurant! Even though it is located next to the gas station, the inside was very clean and tidy! The service was prompt and polite, and the young man was very polite and answered all of our questions! My mother and I were the only ones inside so we received our food pretty quickly and it was given to us the moment it was done! The food, the food was absolutely delicious! I am a Latina with plenty of experience with Mexican food and this felt like my Mexican friend invited me to eat at their house! I got the chipotle chicken (to try something outside the normal food items I usually get) and my mom got the tacos de lengua! Food portions were great, meat was flavorful, and it was not greasy. This is huge when traveling as fast food tends to make me feel icky and this hit the spot and left me feeling pleasantly full! I truly hope this restaurant continues to thrive and I will definitely add it as a stop each time I'm passing through! read more

Stopped here on our way back home from Indy and the pupusas were AMAZING! Coming from California, it is hard to find authentic Mexican food and a good carne asada burrito. Sabor De La Vida has a good carne asada burrito. I would recommend this place and I will be back. read more

I was passing through this area and wanted to try something different. I almost didn't stop because of the "attached to gas station" location but the food did NOT disappoint. This was a two person operation it took about 10 minutes for my food to come out. I got the Chimichanga with beans and rice. When it came out it was mildly warm wish it was hot, but it tasted great. The salsas that came out with the chips were great. I liked the red salsa better than the green, both were good though. The location wasn't the greatest but the food made up for it. I'd definitely go back. This place is worth a try. I only rated four stars due to location and semi warm food. Seasoning was great though. read more

We were going to stop to pee at Taco Bell but opted for actual food. This place is great!!! Red and green salsas were excellent, chips were so-so. $2. Ham Torta had plenty of toppings and enough to share or take half home. Real torta roll and avo, black bean, cheese, japs, etc. Molotes: Fantastic and new to me! Masa stuffed with chicken tinga, topped with tomato sauce, lettuce, crema. The beans and rice were substantial and actually good. Usually I leave half of that stuff on the plate. I'd get this again anywhere. Bean pupusa was tasty, served with preserved slaw (I forget), and tomato sauce. We got a couple tamales verdes para llevar but haven't gotten to em yet. Nothing fancy and didn't see any beer. Attached gas station bathroom not great, but it's fine. read more

We were a little put off by the location (which is in a gas station) but we're glad we tried it anyways! Great, affordable Mexican food. We had a couple tacos each and shared a guacamole which was more than enough. The guy manning the counter was very nice and attentive as well. Five stars! read more

What a great experience! Not to offend anyone but I've learned that the ability to speak English is not necessary for making amazing food! I have made it a point to stop here whenever I have a chance when heading to Indy and I'm never disappointed. The sweetest girl had taken care of my order each time and is very attentive throughout. I usually get my food to go but was able to take my husband last time and dine in and again everything was wonderful. All the fixings with chips were tasty and perfectly accompanied our food. My husband had the soup, pozole, and it was so packed full of meat and things he eats that he couldn't finish it. It's a surprisingly great food experience and I thank Yelp for opening my eyes to this off the beaten track restaurant. read more

Delicious food, super attentive service, great ambiance! If you just got done shopping at the outlets and need to give your wallet a break, this is 100% the spot for you. It's a must for my family and I to come here everytime we go shopping! Burrito is a must! read more

Got the $5.00 beef lunch taco special!! Soooo delicious (and cheap). You can tell it's authentic. An awesome little hole-in-the-wall place. There were a few dirty tables with dirty dishes but I didn't really mind. I think it added to the experience ;) I hope to be back! read more

My husband and I have passed this spot many times going to the outlet malls, and finally stopped in. We took a trip to Mexico City last year, and fell in love with huaraches. We were excited to know that a place near us made them. The shop is attached to a gas station and the menu is quite large. The service is great, and the chips and homemade salsas are even better! The huarache was quite different that the one we had in Mexico City, but nonetheless delicious. The chicken tinga empanada was so juicy and flavorful. This will be our new lunch spot after hitting the outlets! read more

This hidden gem is nothing to look at but the flavors are authentic and delicious. Located right across from the Edinburgh outlets, this is a great choice for lunch, snacks, or dinner (though no margaritas available here). Tacos--with real deal corn tortillas, chipotle chicken served with rice, and chips with salsa or guacamole shine. They also have a wide selection of Mexican sodas with flavors like mango and pineapple. Why anyone would go to the neighboring Taco Bell is in unbelievable to me! read more

Can't believe people think this place is good very disappointed both visits thought maybe first was just an off day but tacos are small meat is microwaved and dry with no flavor whatsoever 4 tacos for $11 should fill a guy up but left hungry and completely disappointed never again will I eat here I've eaten enough fresh made to order tacos to know these where reheated might come out hot but the dryness gives it away it's sad peoples standards are that low to think it's good read more

Don't be afraid to go because it's attached to gas station. The food was still gas. Would go again

Tiny nice clean hole in the wall Mexican restaurant. Their second location, just as good as the first. Everything they serve is fantastic. Empanadas so good you'll want to smack your mama. Tacos just like street tacos south of the border. Their homemade salsas are exceptional, hard choice between traditional or verde. Only thing is if you do not speak Spanish might be a bit slow on the order. But for that quality of food it is not a sacrifice. Idiots within a hundred yards are eating tacobell, fools about the same price but 1000 times better. read more
