Great service and very tasty Mexican food A good friend on mine recommended this place and it was great. Nice service and great food read more

We love it there! We went for date night and it was the best! Food and waiters are so authentic. Both tells a story of Oaxaca. Not as heavy as a lot of Mexican foods yet still very very tasty. I recommend everything in the menu and to be kind and smile to the waiter, they just might tell you a funny story from their homeland. read more

The Mole was incredible. Varied layers of flavor within the rich and multifaceted sauce results in an outstanding culinary experience. The service as well was a highlight of the meal. The careful explanation of the various items was greatly appreciated. Fast and accurate delivery of our choices was also noted. Our server/host name I believe was Pauli. read more

The high ratings for this restaurant are absolutely justified! We stumbled upon it last weekend when we were in the area. The menu said "chicken burrito". However, that simple description did not do it justice! That was the best chicken burrito I've ever had! The tasty fresh ingredients all blended together to make a memorable bite. My husband and daughter felt the same way. The owner was personable, but respected our family time. The decor was bright, cheerful, and appropriate. Wish we lived nearby because we would eat there weekly! read more

The customer service, alone, is 10 stars. Easily. I had a mole and a green enchilada, and they were both fantastic! I'll be back to try the tacos. read more

I found this place on Yelp when looking for a place to stop for dinner after visiting Brookside Gardens. The high ratings are justified! The food was delicious, and the service was excellent. The decor was bright and I really enjoyed the music they were playing as well as seeing an Oaxacan festival being televised. read more

If you know Wheaton, you know there are food GEMS here regularly. You can add this one to the list. Always love trying the new places that come in and I hope this one stays for a while. Great vibe and atmosphere, which is on the cozier side but chill and relaxing nonetheless. The service was immaculate as both waiters were attentive, knowledgeable and positively spirited. We ordered the Passion fruit agua frescas to start, alongside their housemade Queso Fundido with Chorizo. The cheese was nice and melty, and had jalapeño slices in it. Mixed with the chorizo and slapped inside a corn tortilla was a perfect bocadillo. Our mains were tacos al pastor, de lengua and carne asada, along with a Suadero Burrito. The tacos were solid. The lengua was nice and juicy, the carne asada was grilled to perfection and the pastor was marinated in a lovely pineapple sauce, where the flavors came through well. The Suadero burrito was nice as the meat inside was very tender and juicy. I don't like lettuce on my burritos, and I should've ordered without it but during the Cinco De Mayo celebrations and mariachis singing, I missed that detail but it didn't disappoint regardless. Overall, we really enjoyed our dinner here and will definitely be back soon. Happy to have Sabor Mixteca as a Wheaton establishment! read more

You don't go here for the ambiance. Sure it's got some, but you go here for the incredible Oaxacan food. We had the queso fundido (add chorizo, obv) to start, and for entrees we had enchiladas verdes. The waitress was keen and knowledgeable and I cannot wait to go back. read more

Fantastic new spot in Wheaton. I ordered tacos for a party - al pastor, pollo, and al carbon - and rice and beans. The tacos were corn tortillas and came with onions and cilantro (on the side). We also had a hot salsa roja and a medium salsa verde. All were delicious! The staff was very accommodating and even helped carry food to my vehicle. Can't wait to go there for breakfast! read more

The restaurant is painted in cheerful colors and decorated with art, and is very clean and welcoming with attentive and friendly service. We had delicious sopas as an appetizer. I had three chicken (which was tender and tasty) enchiladas smothered in a tangy slightly spicy salsa verde and my husband had a special dish of pork and potatoes with homemade tortillas and unusual spices. Both dishes were delicious. Refied black beans were very good and the only weak spot was the rice which didn't have great texture, and the tres leches cake which was nothing special. We would definitely come back to try Oaxacan dishes (their specialty) that the friendly owner recommended. We were also offered a free shot of fruit flavored mezcal each. We had a lovely evening and I would highly recommend this place for Mexican food that is very far above the norm. read more

I bought lunch for my grandson and me at Sabor Mixteco today. I had the Enchiladas Mixtecas(Mole), which was delicious. My grandson enjoyed the chicken quesadillas. He said that most quesadillas are virtually identical (and good), but this one was outstanding. We shared an order of guacamole, which was fresh and very good, but typical of most well-made guacamoles. The most impressive aspect of the restaurant is the customer service. When I called to order my carry-out food, the man taking my order was friendly and very welcoming. And when I arrived, I was greeted with a handshake and a sincere welcome. The curbside parking was adequate when I arrived, though I can imagine times when it might be more challenging. I unhesitatingly recommend this small restaurant. Its food is terrific, and its service is outstanding. chicken quesadillas read more

The restaurant was very festive and playing great music. We ate outside and the food was delicious. I got the chicken tacos which were delicious. The chicken was well seasoned, tender and had a smoky taste. It was well accompanied with lime and 3 salsas, the jalapeño verde being my favorite. I would give the tacos a 4.4/5. Would definitely come here again. read more

Sabor Mixteco - Chilaquiles, alambre y queso fundido. Todo delicioso! - Mexican Near Me - Wheaton, Maryland

Excellent service. Food is good, perhaps really good considering how many shitty Mexican places there are, but not excellent. Nothing special other than doing a great job with the basics. As for raving about the decor, c'mon folks, it ain't that difficult to decorate a Mexican restaurant. read more

Food was so tasty! We started with the $3 chips & salsa, ordered tacos de lengua, asada, al pastor, and suadero. Then my partner loved his enchiladas divorciadas and I ordered a steak torta with fries. We went around 4pm and it was a bit quiet with cumbia and rancheras playing in the background, pleasant vibe. Everything was delicious and the service was quick, kind, and attentive. So happy we live so close because we will be visiting again soon! read more

Interesting regional cuisine from a nice place buried in a business district. Extensive menu, including a lunch page. Really good food and flan, great service. Interior decor was nice and colorful, although this is not a great place to eat outside. read more

We had Enchiladas Mixtecas Mole and Carne Enchilada and they were both great. The mole sauce is rich with subtle flavors and is SO good. The Carne Enchilada is served on a sizzling platter fajita style. The pork was delicious. We usually don't get dessert but our server convinced us to try the flan. WOW. Do not miss the flan. It is creamy and has a great depth of flavor. The best flan I have ever had. We will be coming back!! read more

Wow - we were excited to find an authentic Mexican spot near our home, and Sabor Mixteco is the real thing! I had the amazing posole: rich but light broth, perfectly spiced, topped with avocado and onion with just a pinch of oregano. My husband had the enchiladas mole and the mole was so so delicious! Incredibly complex and gorgeously rich. You will absolutely clean your plate. We also loved the traditional cafe de olla - super silky and smooth with hints of chocolatey cinnamon. Service was exceptional - attentive, helpful, and charming. We can't wait to go back. If you are in the Wheaton area, you MUST try Sabor Mixteco read more

Sabor Mixteco - Amazing posole, café de olla, and enchiladas mole - Mexican Near Me - Wheaton, Maryland

The service is so homey and the owners are lovely people who clearly take pride in their work. The mole enchiladas you can tell they make the sauce in house, the nopales have the traditional grill marks, and the chorizo is also made in house which was great as part of the queso fundido. I love that this spot is up the street from me in Silver Spring! Worth the visit. Nice spot for a solo dinner or after work meal. read more

Amazing food! We got the shrimp pasilla and the pork chileajo. Both were incredibly well balanced, full of spice and flavor as opposed to just salty and spicy. Very welcoming staff too, service was great. Definitely worth going a little out of the way for. read more

The food here is absolutely delicious... not a single meh in any of our party of 6's dishes. We will definitely be back!

Sabor Mixteco is the best place to eat at in the area if you want to have Oaxacan cuisine. Yes, the parking is mostly metered, street spots. However, all your worries will go away when you enter this restaurant. You are greeted by very hospitable staff, who will help you learn about the various dishes and specials of the day. The must order dish is the tlayuda. One is enough to share between two patrons as an appetizer. Also, do not forget to put on some salsa and/or homemade hot sauce. It kicks up the spice level a bit. The al pastor torta was great, and we also had the mole enchiladas. I recommend Sabor Mixteco if you want great food and great service. read more

Food was authentic and delicious, service was exceptional, ambiance was cute but more people need to eat at their local spots!!
