My daughter in LA ordered dinner for us in spring valley using the app. Delivered surprisingly fast, and the food was excellent. I will definitely be going back - or ordering through the app - again! read more

Prices are standard. Staff was really nice. I got my food to go. The place smells overwhelmingly like cat pee. Even if I had planned to eat there, I wouldn't have been able to. I almost lost my appetite waiting for my food. It's in a strip mall so I suppose there is a chance it was one of the other food shops? But I guess I'm just being nice. read more

We are totally hooked!!! Tacos are --wow!!-- handmade fresh tortillas!!! Yummmm! carnitas burrito is THE BEST in San Diego! So far everything we've tried.. top notch. So fresh, you can tell they really care about quality and food prep! Such wonderful sweet, people own/ work there.. great customer service! read more

I would give this place 5 stars for food! But if the old man is behind the cash register than don't expect to get good service from him. He is not accommodating and does not ring up your food if you call ahead. read more

Sabor is a hidden gem in Lemon Grove that is sure to become more well known since Dollar Tree has come to the shopping center. I love their tamales, jalapeño salsa, beans, and rice. Their service is great and they truly go above and beyond when it comes to making sure you have what you want as a customer. read more

Oh my! So freakishly good!!! Hand made tortillas for your order.... great specials and taco Tuesday... salsas are tasty and have a nice kick... tripas made like I've had in TJ.... carne asada is super tasty... Home made aguas frescas... geeze, everything we've had has been soooo good. It's become an at least once a week stop. You gotta try them out! read more

My husband and I went to sample their tacos for a birthday party coming up in March. I must say when we walked in and I introduced myself, the owner Carlos quickly asked us if we wanted anything to eat. He made us 8 mini T.J tacos. Very good I must say!!!!! He was sooo nice. Very welcoming. Thanks Carlos we look forward to you doing a wonderful catering at our children's birthday party. read more

I use to live up the street, and sabor never failed for a fix. Is it my favorite ? No. But am I picky with my taco shops and only eat at good ones? Yes. And I eat here. Good for a carne asada fix, their rolled tacos are delicious and they have a really great catering service. Their salsas are limited but delicious as well. Especially the "hot" one, the light milky salsa. Bean burritos are killer too, beans are great! read more

I ordered delivery from sabor last night. 6 items, and only received 5. It was one carne Asada fries, two chilli reanos, and 3 California burritos one with no pico. I only received 2 Cali burritos. Not sure where the disconnect was, either sabor didn't give them all burritos or the driver forgot one, but either way I will never order from here again. The food was average but the price was not. And I had to buy an extra burrito that I never received. Way to go grub hub and sabor. You really left me extremely unimpressed. The driver also parked in my driveway when there was tons of street parking. I guess nobody has ever told him. I train all my services employees that you never park in the driveway ever. It's very unprofessional and you can leave oil stains like this driver did. Also with the six things I ordered I would think I could get more than 3 salsas. read more

Really small hole in the wall, but their food is really awesome. Prices are fairly cheap! Don't let looks fool you, Sabor is very tasty!

Terrible restaurant. Never delivered the food for a party of 50 plus people. Reservation made in advance. Hostess called the morning of event and Carlos assured it everything was going as planned. Wrong! Food never came. read more

omfg!! best carnitas tacos i have ever eaten!!!!! wow!!! come eat here!!! just wow. staff is amazing as well. on tuesday's they have $1 tacos!! worth a drive over anytime read more

OMG! The Adobada Tacos! I think there was a week where I ate maybe 17 of the mini ones! Paired with that GREEN SALSA OMMMMMMGGGGG! They are to die for!!!! Best Tacos i have had in a minute and every time I order them anywhere else I am disappointed, Sabor has spoiled me!! read more

In my opinion, Sabor has the best Mexican food in all San Diego. Their fish tacos has avocado in it! (I love avocado) I like it better then Rubio's fish tacos. Carne asada taco is also yumm but my favorite has got to be their CA burrito you can't go wrong with it. Their quesadilla's come with a side of guacamole and sour cream I don't know of any other place that does this. I love this place!! read more

Sabor - CA burrito. - Mexican Near Me - Lemon Grove, California

See all

I lived in the heart of Mexico for 5 years, and I have to say that this little mom-and-pop taco shop is the closest I have found so far in the East County area (granted, I have not tried EVERY taco shop, yet!) to REAL, AUTHENTIC Mexican food that one finds IN MEXICO. I have been on a quest to find the best albondigas near where I live, and this is it! The albondigas is AMAZING. Packed with vegetables, huge meatballs, with rice, fresh cilantro and chopped onions, and tortillas on the side, and the flavor surpasses anything I have tried so far. I can never finish a whole bowl, so I take the rest to go, and it turns out to be TWO meals for me. (My boyfriend, of course, eats the whole thing.) The pozole is absolutely delicious, and is a MUST TRY, as well. Every time I go to Sabor, I can't decide whether to order the albondigas or the pozole... I want BOTH! The salsas here are authentic and mouthwatering, too! Just as head's up, though: I don't recommend coming here if you're in a hurry. They make everything fresh, as ordered, so there's a little bit of a wait-- but it's SO WORTH IT! My only complaint is that the TV is always on, instead of having some nice, Latin music playing, which I think would improve the ambiance and dining experience. But again... this is VERY COMMON in the casual little taquerias in Mexico, and because of the quality and authenticity of the food, I grin and bear it! They do not have a website, but here is their Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Sabor-Mexican-Grilll/111592838879198 BUEN PROVECHO! read more

My favorite taco shop in the area. 99 cent tacos on tuesdays and Wednesday's, can't beat that! The flavor is pretty on point too, as well as the salsa. read more

Ate here for the first time and was pleasantly surprised! The food was freshly made and full of flavor. The group I came with ordered the carne asada nachos, lengua tacos and chicken burrito. I had a bite of all of them and were beyond amazing!!! Definitely come and experience this mom and pop restaurant. Your taste buds will love you for it. read more

I've been coming to this taco shop for about 5 years now and not once have I ever been disappointed. Every time I go I try to pick something new& since everything is made fresh, I feel like I can't go wrong. My favorite has to be the California burrito, street tacos and Huaraches. The California burrito is stuffed with juicy carne asada, fresh guacamole(not that store bought junk), sour cream, cheddar&jack cheese, pico de gallo and shoestring fries. Their street tacos are insanely delicious and addicting. They offer a variety of meats; from carnitas to lengua (cow tongue) and they even go a step further by making their own tortillas fresh to order. The toppings are simple;cilantro and onions which is perfect because it allows for that perfectly seasoned meat to shine through. The Huaraches are made fresh to order as well- the cook rolls out the maza (corn dough) then bakes it on the grill. Next, she layers on beans, meat (I usually choose adobada), lettuce and cotija cheese. The result is a flavor combination that is out of this world. They also offer a salsa bar with three delicious salsas all made from scratch and not watered down at all like the other taco shops I've tried. My favorite is the creamy, jalapeno salsa. The place itself is nothing fancy, but quite cozy with booth seating. The tables are usually always clean, unless it's a busy day, like taco Tuesday when the place gets packed & since it's just one cashier & one cook it's understandable that the tables aren't spotless. The staff is always friendly. The cashier brings you your food when it's ready so you don't have to trouble yourself to get up. My only complaint is that they close at 9 pm everyday& sometimes I need my late night, Sabor food fix ;) read more

Fresh hand made tortillas make this place INCREDIBLE!! My mom and i recently found this place and we absolutely love it. Everything has been great so far. The 99cent tacos are so worth it! read more

Sabor is the total opposite of what this shop should be named. Flavorless meat & the burritos had more veggies than meat. Should've been called a veggie burrito. I'm in the food industry myself and for this reason I started my business. This places give a bad name to mexican food. I eat to get satisfaction not to get a full stomach. This is sad. Save the trip guys!! read more

We used their catering service. Food was great but communication was very poor. They were late to our reception which caused issues. Staff was so so on friendliness. Was told that they would provide mats so there would be no dripping of grease. Didn't happen. read more

Just okay. I've ordered a good variety of menu items (burritos, tamales, rolled tacos, enchiladas, even chips with guacamole and cheese) and nothing stood out as great. It's just decent food when I take my lunch break and feel like going more authentic than El Pollo Loco and Taco Bell (both in close proximity) can provide. read more

This is a tiny place in Lemon Grove. Its in the shopping center with Smart and Final. If you didn't know about it you'd miss it, but you'd be missing out! After reading the first review I decided to try it with a friend. My parents are Mexican and I was born and raised in L.A. I'm used to eating quality Mexican food and always looking for a good place in San Diego and have never really found one I like. This place was excellent. I had the super burrito with Adobada. They put beans, pico de gallo, sour cream, and guacamole. The meat was very flavorful and the mixture was great. They also make this jalapeno salsa that is wonderful. Its a like a mixture of jalapeno and guacamole. Very spicey but the flavor is great. The best thing about this place is the make fresh juices. The first time I went I had cantaloupe juice and the second time I had fresh pineapple juice. Not from a machine, home made. The place itself is just a little hole in the wall, but the employees are very freindly and informative. This is a must try!! read more

So this has been my go to spot for a few years . I have found that the weekend days are best because of the woman who cooks the food makes it the best . Its not on the menu but get a surf and turf burrito the beat I have ever had . Shrimp and carne asada with rice Pico thats cooked not cold and a light sauce . Homemade masa for their tacos and fried Quesadilla are amazing . They also make homemade drinks as well that are always great . Place is small and does not look very clean in dining area but I always see them cleaning the back of house . You simply can not go wrong with their food Chile rellenos are killer and son is their soups . read more

It's been hard to find an authentic Mexican place in the area.. but i've finally found it!! I'm a vegetarian so i always have a mulita with rajas, veggie burrito, or rajas tamale. Always great flavors. Yum yum yum! read more

I love this shop. Their al pastor tacos are great. Love the salsa bar too.

Review is for a taco cart catered party of 70. Carlos at Sabor is the best. He first invited my family into his little restaurant to make sure we liked the product. We sampled everything that he provides during the event, which is carne, pollo and al pastor for the meets for tacos and mulitas, home made corn tortillas (yes they make them on site at the party), 3 kinds of salsas, rice, beans, guacamole and spicy carrots. All three of the meats were fantastic, with the al pastor (pork roasted on a spit) being a stand out. Home made tortillas...need I say more. The three salsas (verde, red and jalepeno) provided a great variety of flavor and spiciness for a large crowd. The beans and rice were fine. Not outstanding, but no complaints. The service from first contact until clean up was nothing short of phenomenal. Carlos was willing to anything to make sure we had a great experience and got what we wanted, not just what was on the typical menu. For instance, he threw in the spicy carrots, along with chips and salsa for the tables. Carlos was present at the event, with two other helpers. Being a native to SoCal, myself and a good amount of friends at the party have been to numerous parties catered with a taco cart. I can't think of one person that didn't rave about this being the best they have had. The only ding I would give them is that they needed more time to have everything cooked and ready to serve than I (and presumably he) anticipated. Highly recommended for quality of product, overall experience and certainly the price at $8/head. read more

This place is nothing short of amazing. The food comes out quickly and more importantly fresh. The atmosphere is relaxed and an overall good place to be. Takeout is just as good read more

Sabor - #1 Combo grilled chicken with two tortillas, rice, beans, avocado, with lettuce, tomato. - Mexican Near Me - Lemon Grove, California

San Diego is packed full of little taco shops. This is one of my favorites in the Lemon Grove area. Nothing fancy, just consistently good food. I've tried several things on the menu, but am partial to the carne asada and the pozole. A nice variety of salsas including a green avocado sauce my wife would kill for. The place is always busy, but never slow. A worthwhile addition to the San Diego taco shop scene. read more

I was planning a very last minute birthday party and didn't want to have to cook for 35 people so I looked on yelp and found this place by the reviews. They didn't steer me wrong! Called Tony on a Friday afternoon for Saturday evening. He said no problem, he'd be there. They set up in our backyard, grills, tables, utensils and plates... everything included! Two people cooked, a woman rolling and making FRESH tortillas as we ate. We had pollo, carne and pork "pastor" (my favorite), rice and beans. The "fixings" included two homemade salsas, onions, cilantro, guacamole, radishes, limes...more than any other taco caterer I've experienced. The people were nice as could be and the food was delicious. No fuss no muss and all for $10 a person. Well worth it!! (and they left us tons of left-overs)! read more

I have recently found this place in my neighborhood. Thanks to Yelp. Being a Mexican food lover makes it necessary to find a good Mexican place. After a long search I have finally found it. Now Sabor is #1 in my list. read more

This is the kind of Mexican that San Diegans brag about to out of towners. Besides going down to TJ or some taco trucks around, this hole in the wall is pretty much as authentic as you can get. Tamales, tacos (including al pastor, mmmm!), tortas, and anything else your taste buds desire they have and it's delicious! Definitely recommended if you're in the area. Plus, the prices are great! read more

Freaking awesome place for some street tacos without having to take a trip Thi Mexico. They have awesome sopes as well, and the only complaint I have is to not go during a hit day or during the summer unless it's at night. It isn't an air conditioned place Shi being there during summer means you're gonna melt. Other than that, you won't be let down by this hole in the wall! read more

This restaurant catered our family reunion. We had beef and chicken enchiladas, and Chile Relleno, salad, tortillas rice and beans. So yummy, so authentic! Everyone raved about the food. Their portions were very generous, everyone had seconds and all were happy! read more

I've ordered over the phone the last few times to try to expedite my order so I don't have to wait long once I get there but I end up waiting still when I get there. They didn't start making half of my order until I got there to pick up. If they aren't willing to make the whole order until I get there then let me know over the phone when I order. Thats all I ask. read more

Hands down the best Mexican food in Lemon Grove. Everything I get, I love. They make their tortillas fresh to go and even make nachos out of them.... to go. I usually get carne asada taco and a carnitas taco with a side of rice and beans. I'm never disappointed although there is sometimes a line and since the food is cooked fresh, it takes a little longer to get out. There are a lot of different choices on the menu as well. read more

Yay!! I found my bean and cheese burrito! I just moved to the area and there are about 1000 taco shops around so I can be choosey if I want. I tried a bunch and then I found this place. SOO good! No need to look any further! read more

Hot fresh food made to order. Eat inside and its on real plates and silverware ;-) Salsas are delish and "hot" is really medium hot to me. Really nice folks run this yummy restaurant. read more
