This place is off the chain when it comes to delicious comida Latino (Latino food). There are so many options to choose from, but I chose to go with my staples to see if I wanted to adventure through the menu at a future point in time. Turns out, yes...I definitely will be adventuring into this menu because everything that my family and I ordered was perfectly prepared. No one felt disappointed with their meals. It's my birthday weekend, and my family wanted to get dinner after a long day of hanging out. We are a blended Latino family, so naturally, we sought out the closest Latino restaurant still open (we decided to eat pretty late). Luckily, Yelp guided us to Sabor Latino. My little sister is still in college so since she had a test she needed to run home to do, we decided to order our entrees to go and had some empanadas de Pollo (chicken empanadas) while we waited about an hour for our to go order because my sister decided to order the Paella which is cooked fresh when ordered so it takes a while. Tip: Call ahead if you plan on ordering paella. I wish I had taken pictures of the food when I got back home. But in my family, I am the one who runs around gathering all the plates, utensils, and drinks for everyone. By the time I sat down to the dinner table, my family was already halfway done eating their first serving. They were hungry, but the food was also delicious, so they couldn't help themselves. The servings allowed for each of us to have leftovers that we are excited for. Tonight, I tried their grilled chicken, which was perfectly prepared. Next time, I definitely will be trying their churrasco. And I will definitely be ordering more empanadas. These empanadas must have been the best empanadas I have tasted in this country (America) for a long time. I can see myself becoming a regular here because of the food and the friendly service. I am happy that this place turned out to be my birthday dinner restaurant with my family. It was perfect. Next time, I promise to take pictures of everything. The ambiance is super cute, too, with several photo Ops. read more

Sabor Latino - Empanadas (pollo) - Latin American Near Me - Trenton, New Jersey

I came here with a supper club group. There were 7 of us. The atmosphere was great. Not really crowded on a weekday. Our food was delicious. I like that the menu is on a tablet and you can choose English if you don't speak Spanish. The waitress was very helpful. And at one point the owner came over to speak to us about our food. There was a little mixup with one dish but she fixed the error. As a perk if you leave a review you get a shot. So one of our companions left a review right then and the whole table got shots! It was great. I would definitely recommend this lovely place. I gave it 4/5 stars ONLY because it's street parking and parking is hard. read more

The food and service are simply amazing. Take out literally takes 15 mins or less. So we just sat at the bar. The music and vibes were on point. I've been eating here for years. However, this was my first time order Mondongo from here. When we got home, we noticed there was BARELY any tripe in there. In a whole bowl, there were 3 pieces of tripe. They used a lot of filler like carrots, potatoes, celery and etc. that's my only complaint about the food. The chicharrones were flavorful and the bistek was juicy! Food here is pretty good. Just don't order the mondongo. read more

HORRID customer service I made a delivery order that cost upwards of 80 dollars which was supposed to have three large portion meals with the rice and meat and beans separated. I had ordered these previously and each one of those meals could feed at least two people. What I received instead were three mini styrofoam lunch boxes that could barely feed a child each. when I called to ask what happened, the worker was extremely rude and condescending. To the point of saying the back end cooks set the prices for the food. What? It's not the restaurant management? Why would they function like this? She was clearly lying. They could have had a great, loyal client, but instead their rudeness has kept me off of their restaurant. Never again will I order from them. By the way, food is just ok. If you're going to be expensive and rude, your food better be top notch. read more

Two stars for the vibes of the place. Great music and just a cool little spot to be at. Food however was not great for me. The steak that I ordered was so over done, hard and chewy. And everyone that I was with at the table had the same problem. The food didn't come out hot. Server told me not to touch the hot plate when she placed the food in front of me and it wasn't even hot anymore. The yellow rice and plantains were good. I enjoyed the vibes of the place but food wise, I didn't enjoy it at all. read more

No puedo creer que esté escribiendo esto, pero mi experiencia en este restaurante durante el cumpleaños de mi Mamita fue muy decepcionante. Ella eligió este lugar porque es su restaurante favorito y siempre nos ha gustado la comida. Hice una reservación con anticipación para un grupo grande y confiaba en que todo estaría organizado para una ocasión tan especial. Lamentablemente, no fue así. Tardamos más de una hora en recibir las bebidas (muchas eran solo refrescos) y casi tres horas en recibir la comida. No nos dieron utensilios hasta que los pedimos. El servicio fue extremadamente lento y desorganizado. No culpo a la mesera, porque claramente era demasiado para una sola persona. La responsabilidad es de la gerencia por no asignar suficiente personal para un grupo grande y por no estar preparados para una reservación ya confirmada. Lo más triste es que mi Mamita no tuvo la cena de cumpleaños que esperaba y merecía. Eso es lo que más duele. Si el restaurante no puede manejar grupos grandes, deberían decirlo claramente al momento de hacer la reservación. Espero que esta experiencia haya sido solo un mal día, pero definitivamente fue muy decepcionante. read more

Took a chance to try this place for the first time and I won't be back. I ordered a Cuban sandwich which they also have pictured on their menu as a true authentic Cuban sandwich on pressed panini bread, but instead they gave me a pork sandwich (really no ham or cheese) on a roll. I'm not happy that I was expecting a true Cuban sandwich and got nothing short of a pork sandwich. False advertising and they definitely know it. read more

This place was amazing! I stopped by with two friends and we enjoyed every dish. We began with empanadas which were so delicious and a great appetizer. I ordered a bandeja paisa that came out to perfection. My friends ordered chuleta and steak which both looked so good. It was affordable and had a great ambiance with karaoke occurring. I would definitely go back again. The beans were delicious. read more

We ordered our food via Door Dash and ate it at home. The food was delicious. The arroz con pollo was very good and the sandwich was tasty as well. It had a unique combination of pork and pastrami which went well together along with the lettuce, tomatoes and special sauce. I would order from here again and recommend it to others. read more

I was not pleased with the food I ordered. I had the mofongo with shrimp Al ajillo. The shrimp was very garlicky and the mofongo was cold. I will not return or recommend this place read more

Good vibe in here. Went after the PR festival held in Trenton. It felt like an after party! Live DJ great energy and great food. Our party enjoyed each of their individually orders which took a little while to receive understandingly, but the entertaining made the wait seem shorter than actual. I ordered the mofongo and steak. It's seldom to find a good mofongo outside of PR but this one delivered! Not too dry but crispy and came with a garlic oil that complimented the tender steak/plantain combination to a T. Very enjoyable experience. read more

This is a good place to go for drinks and light food. The empanadas are good and so was the mofongo. This is the only Dominican place I have seen in this area. The staff is nice and on weekends it turns more so into a lounge on the left side of the establishment. The bartenders are nice and the drinks are not watered down. It seems a lot of locals go there. My friends and i seemed to stick out like a sore thumb even though we are latinas. It seemed they knew we were not from the area. Some people were very dressed down- track suits, workout sweats and sweatshirts. Many people wore jeans. Casual is the way to go. Nonetheless, if you are looking for a good mix of music and drinks. This place will do. Do not expect much crowd wise. read more

I ordered delivery via Doordash from Sabor Latino. We got the Grilled Steak/Carne Asada, Trifongo Grilled Chicken, and Bandera Kids Chicken Stew. All of the dishes were excellent and arrived warm. We'll definitely be ordering from Sabor Latino more often. I like they that have a very extensive menu of various Latino cuisines so you can order Mexican, Puerto Rican, and Dominican food all in the same order. read more

I would've never attempted to go into this spot as a single female because let's face it...it looks shady as hell! Thankfully it was highly recommended by a native Trentonian. At first glance it just looks like a dive bar from the outside, and and you walk in to find it still looks like a crappy dive bar inside too! Thankfully we were greeted by this extremely awesome lady who probably leads her church's choir, to change the ambiance a little. The menu is a mixture of Latin food, every plate more delicious than the next and all ranging around $8-$12!! Oddly enough drinks were not well prepared, the bartender was maybe 17, my margarita came in a martini glass...so after that I stuck to just plain coronas. Appetizer: Tostones rellenos de camarones (Fried plantain cups filled with shrimp) - these were amazing! Smaller than I anticipated, but the plate brings the perfect portion for an appetizer for 3, although it's listed as an entree. They are tiny little fried cups overflowing with chunks of shrimp in garlic sauce. My mouth is literally watering over the thought of these. Entrees: Chuletas de Puerco (fried pork chops): You get two nice and thick pork chops fried to perfection so that they aren't dried out; sides included: avocado salad, moist white rice and AMAZING Dominican red beans. Plato Grito: This is basically a sampler plate of all the amazingness of the kitchen. You get your choice of meat, I had steak with onions & peppers that I seriously could eat everyday, it's garlic or maybe parsley or crack that they season it was perfection. The sides included: potato salad, a giant sweet plantain, moro (rice with black beans) and fried cheese (yes random...but not really if you know Dominicans). Needless to say we were both extremely happy with our meals, rolled out of there and thanked baby Jesus for our car still being outside in one piece. The one star off is really for the creep factor of the place, other than that, I will be returning! read more

Ordered a Cuban sandwich here and it was the worst thing that I have ever eaten. Hardly any cheese, the pork was EXTREMELY salty, mostly cheap ham and the bread WAS NOT TOASTED! No flavor besides SALT place should be called sabor salado read more

Oh. My. Goodness. If you are looking for authentic food, this is the place. This food is amazing. I ordered takeout and the food was still piping hot by the time I got home (a 30 minute drive)! Everything is made to order, and absolutely delicious and so flavorful. I recommend the empañadas, Bistec, and mofongo, but you can't go wrong with anything that you order. Can't wait to order again. read more

Omg. This was such a find!! Good and drinks are on point and the service was great even with the language barrier.

If you like southamerican food, specially Dominican or Mexican, pay attention to this gem. The restaurant is in street corner. The area may look sketchy to a lot of folks in Princeton, but I found it to be fairly safe. Interior decor is pretty well done. The location converts into full blown bar at night. So, there is small stage for live music as well. Now, the food. It was excellent. Pollo empanada was flavorful inside, crispy outside. We ordered fish taco and shrimp on rice for main course and they arrived quickly. Our waiter sort of vanished at that point. Back to the point of food; it was excellent. the fish taco is perhaps the best I had in east coast. The shrimp on rice was excellent as well. The real sticky part was the inattentive service. We had to wait a long time for the check. read more

Location In heart of Trenton. Like NY keep it moving. Parking easy. Area sketchy @ night. Day time preferably. Ordered Mofongo with Pollo. Yeah learn Spanish figure out what Pollo means. Inside Bar dance floor karaoke jukebox very loud. But that's a Latin club for you. Went in to eat but didn't know they party hard! chips and salsa served no charge Got the Chilonca. Maraculla equivalent. Passion fruit. The mofongo with Pollo a la plan Cha was spot on. Maybe celebrate bday in future. read more

Usually, I order their rotisserie chicken and white rice however it was unavailable/sold out that day. I decided to side with an order of steak and onions with a side of yellow rice. When the food arrived everything looked good. However moments after eating the steak I noticed I wasn't feeling too good. I maybe thought it was the onions bothering me. Later that night I had excessive diarrhea. The next day I had excessive diarrhea and cramps again. I ended up getting FOOD poisoning and to top it off I specifically asked for the meat to be well done because I am pregnant. I'm not sure if it was cross contamination or it being uncooked but be careful! I will NEVER order again. You lost a valuable customer that use to order everyday. read more

Good food and fast delivery if you are craving good food late at night this is the place to order

Sabor latino should be renamed to sabor salado. The food is extremely salty there. My wife and me ordered chicken with rice and beans. The beans seemed to be cooked in a pound of salt and the chicken was way over seasoned. Never returning there. Expect to get your blood pressure through the roof if you go here. read more

Margaritas very good. Didn't have guacamole the night we went and we were craving some guac! Had the mofongo with shrimp. Shrimp was very good but the mofongo was SO heavy. Had only a few bites before it felt like there was a brick in our stomachs. Would go back. Love the authenticness of it. read more

Their food is delicious but had to take a star away cuz I don't get consistent quality from in the dish I always order. I get their pork chops with rice and beans and most of the time it's delicious but it was a few times when the food wasn't that great so although most of the time it's good , delivery is good And service is friendly the quality wasn't always consistent read more

You would be forgiven if you approached the corner where Sabor Latino Bar & Restaurant is located, and decided not to park, nor go inside. It is a particularly dreary intersection in the depths of Trenton, with a few boarded up houses, and war torn streets. Yet, it you summoned the courage to open the door and walk in, you would thank yourself for bravery being well rewarded. Sabor Latino (Latin Flavor) is a Dominican house with a kitchen familiar with the cuisine of Puerto Rico, Guatemala and Costa Rica. The bar room also serves as the dining area, and the staff is friendly and attractively bilingual. The broad menu offers lunch and dinner with prices below $10 and $16, respectively. A few HDTVs on the walls broadcasting futbol en espanol, and gentlemen at the bar and high tops conducting business. My server recommended the Pernil special, and I accepted her suggestion. A few minutes later I was presented with a large plate of Roasted Pork, White Rice, Salad and a cup of Red Beans. There was also a table rocket filled with a mix of spice and mayo for use on the greens. The Pork was soft, juice and tender with a nice taste of mild BBQ sauce. The skin took the fire well and it was crunchy to chew with a stronger flavor from the basting and flames. The Rice and Beans were solid accompaniments. The Salad was just some Iceberg and Tomato; not bad, but more of a garnish than a side dish. I was checked on several times by my waitperson. She clearly was concerned that I be satisfied with my meal and overall experience, and was pleasant in her relief that I enjoyed my lunch. Sabor Latino is yet another of the strong effort coming from the Central American community in Trenton. It may not yet have the well earned reputation that was Chambersburg for Italian joints in the last century, but this and the other casas are definitely on their way toward that recognition. read more

F and I went here last night for the Trenton Social Restaurant monthly outing. However, we were 2 weeks early. Realizing our mistake very quickly, and being so warmly welcomed by Giselle, the hostess, we decided to stay for drinks and dinner. It was also happy hour. $15 for 6 beer bucket $5 tropical drinks and sangria. I had a lime mojito and F had passionfruit. Both were yummy. We ordered an appetizer of chicken empanadas 3 for $5 I ordered fried pork and yucca, F had Arroz con cuerdo with tostones and garlic sauce on the side. Everything is fresh and so good. Giselle was attentive enough to ask me if I wanted the fatty skin with my pork (the best part). While we were there I tempted a friend to join us. He loved his mixed empanadas and tostones. As we were hanging out this place did a brisk business on a Wednesday night. Plenty of parking, but next time we would just walk or ride our bikes there . We will be back on April 7th. Or maybe sooner. .. read more

If you want authentic Latin cuisine, you won't be disappointed here! Friendly service, reasonable prices and ample portions. As some other reviews mentioned, a few items were a couple bucks more than what the menu listed, and 15% gratuity was added for our party of 2 but we didn't think anything was over priced. We'll definitely be going back!!Here's what we got: - Steak (beef) empanadas: The meat is seasoned perfectly and the empanadas dough is lightly and crispy. I'm super picky about empanadas and these were just what I wanted! - Chicharron Cerdo (pork cracklins): juicy, crispy and delicious - Mojarra Frita (fried whole fish): mildly seasoned, crispy skin with flaky meat. This dish is simple but delicious. We paired it with a side of red beans and tostones. - Camarones Al Ajilio (shrimp in garlic sauce): the shrimp were meaty and tender. The sauce is FULL of flavor and was perfect with a side of white rice. - Patron Margarita: So smooth and refreshing! - Mango Mojito: tasted like straight mango with a kick! read more
