    Met a friend for a drink. They make really good margaritas!! We also spilt the steak and another tapas. Everything was good. The steak was perfectly cooked to medium rare. The place had a steady clientele. The World Cup was on the TV and popular. I recommend!

    Fun place for happy hour! Was a little worried at first because our drinks were very slow to come out, but after catching the server's eye, she hustled them out - and the spicy margarita was delicious. What stood out, too, was the food. Really tasty small plates to complement a happy hour! We ordered three: charcuterie board, garlicky shrimp, and stuffed piquillo peppers, all of which were terrific. (Normally I want larger shrimp, but these were cooked perfectly, so no notes!) Atmosphere was joyful and light. Liked the good vibes and friendly staff. Would return.

    A tasty all you can eat brunch with great items and mimosa deal! I enjoyed most of what I ordered except for perhaps the picada, which was still good but a bit too salty for my liking. Pleasantly surprised with the other dishes though. Service was kind and attentive, especially with food allergies. Place wasn't packed when we came too which surprised me. I do want to try this spot again!

    Came for happy hour and enjoyed a nice and calm tapas meal. The ambiance was really pretty, decorated to celebrate the world cup. The service was okay, the waitress didn't come to the table often so we had to wait for her return often even though it wasn't too many people dining. Would return though because the food was flavorful and fresh.

    Asparagus romanesco, very tasty

    Such an amazing brunch! I'm not usually into all you can eat but theirs is a good value and has a huge array of options. Plus you can get $1 (on) and $2 (flavored) mimosas with the brunch. We tried many flavors and all were great: blackberry, strawberry, passion fruit, guava, lulo...! My fav food item was prob the arepitas, sooo fluffy and tasty. The waffles are excellent too. My party overall particularly loved the patacones and fried zucchini. And basically everything we tried lol. Nice little plates so you can try many things.

    One of the best happy hours in arlington! $6 margaritas that taste amazing. I love both the steaks and the chimichurri is so fresh tasting. The service is friendly and the atmosphere is lovely.

    Unfortunately I only have my desserts to show but that just says how good the food was! - I didn't even think to take a picture until I was done. Sabores is a great spot for friends, dates, family meals - the owners/managers are so welcoming, you know you're being taken care of the minute you walk in. On both occasions my table has ordered a variety of meats (cooked to perfection) and other tapas. Desserts are just the "icing on the cake". I'd recommend Sabores to anyone, already thinking about when I'll return too

    My wife and I visited for the first time, and from the moment we walked in, we felt genuinely welcomed. I'm not sure if the gentleman who greeted us was the manager or the owner, but he immediately made eye contact, welcomed us with a smile, and seated us right away. That first impression set the tone for a wonderful dining experience. Our server, Eduardo, was outstanding professional, personable, and attentive throughout the evening. He took the time to explain the menu and offered excellent recommendations, which made it easy to try a variety of dishes. The ambiance was warm and comfortable, with music playing softly in the background, making it easy to relax and enjoy a conversation without feeling rushed or overwhelmed. We ordered several appetizers and tapas, followed by dessert, and every single dish was absolutely delicious. The quality, presentation, and flavors exceeded our expectations. Overall, it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. We truly enjoyed ourselves and will definitely be coming back. Highly recommended!

    After seeing that Sabores made Yelp top places I had to see for myself. I love going to tapa bars and love Spanish food. I came here during the week. Construction all over Columbia Pike but luckily there's a garage nearby that's free for the 1st hour, plus they will validate. Their menu choices are slim as compared to other Spanish tapa bars in the area. The ambiance was not there. Not romantic or cozy. .. I hoping to hear Flamenco music,or classic Latin music not reggaeton btw, I love reggaeton!! and I frowned when they were playing Bad Bunny and J Blavin . Like would you like to listen to Bad Bunny while your eating paella? I had their lunch menu special pick 3 for $24 which I thought was reasonable. I chose .potato tortilla croquettes Steak. the tortilla de patatas was decent. It was almost cold. I didn't wanna make a fuss but was disappointed at 12:30pm why would it be served cold? The flavors were ok and I like how the potato's were thinly sliced but it would have been more enjoyed if it was served hot. The croquettes which are my favorite tapas and I was looking forward to devouring it ... was mid. It lacked flavor and heavily breaded and seemed that it was deep fried in old oil because the coating of my croquettes were almost dark brown. I barely tasted any chicken. Jaleo/Spanish Diner have better croquettes. The steak.... was meh although I asked for medium rare.. it wasn't served hot. And could use more flavor. Service was impeccable which why I give it 3.5 stars . My waiter was very attentive to me, but I do agree that they try to push dessert too much... besides the choices were pretty slim.. after been disappointed on all 3 dishes of my meal. I declined. For lunch time and it wasn't busy. I dont understand why food was served almost cold. I dont know. Compared to other tapas restaurants in the area fell below my expectations. Boqueria Jaleo and Arrels would be my suggestions. I might give it another shot but they need to improve..

    Enjoyed our meal. Every dish was delicious. Service was on point. Lovely Evening.

    Gambas Al Ajillo
    Jens J.

    Our dinner last night at Sabores was one of the best meals we have had in a long long time. Sabores means flavors in English, and I can say to you that the flavors of every dish were great! Service was absolutely fabulous. The best dish of the night was the Gambas Al Ajillo (garlic shrimp). The shrimp arrived in a bowl atop a most exquisite chili oil/sauce. The shrimp came with two large slices of a perfect rustic bread. The chili sauce was perfect for dipping the bread. We really liked how the manager/owner came over and chatted with us for a bit and described how the chili oil was prepared. When we expressed our pleasure he brought us out more bread. Yes!! If you like gazbacho, you'll love Sabores's version of this chilled soup. Topped with bits of crispy Serrano ham and crumbled hard-boiled egg, this dish was excellent. Also, it was served in a hefty quantity. The arepitas were excellent as well. I probably didn't experience the full joy of this dish because I requested that they not include the meat, which can be either shredded beef or chicken. I asked them to hold the meat because they were honest and told me their meats included my old friend cilantro. The Espinacas de Catalina (spinach) was wonderful. The fresh cooked spinach was perfect and came with little raisins and generous bits of apple and walnut. Perhaps this dish could have stood a little less oil. Still, I'll definitely order again. The skirt steak churrasco was perfect, cooked and seasoned just right. The chimichurri sauce that came with the churrasco was tasty. Since we were on a roll with the great dishes, I then ordered the Dátiles con Tocino (bacon-wrapped dates). These little wonders had a pleasant slightly smoky flavor, and perhaps a bit different than bacon-wrapped dates you've had, these were made with a light batter and were fried. Ah, with so many other dishes to explore on the menu, we'll be back. This was actually our second visit, so we know our good fortune here was no fluke.

    I am the worlds pickiest eater. I did not try one bad thing. 10/10 recommend their unlimited brunch. It was affordable ($32pp). This is a great way to try different foods from different Latin American countries.

    Seafood Paella (Paella de Mariscos)
    Loan L.

    Stopped by on a Saturday afternoon, it was pretty slow. Our server was accommodating and gave us great recommendations, definitely didn't disappoint. The interior is pretty cute, we got offer a few seating options, which was nice. I was looking forward to try the paella, a little disappointed, if it was cooked a little longer it would've been perfect. Other than that, i love the mini arepas, and the chickpeas. I definitely would still come again.

That thoughtfulness is one of the many reasons I was excited to try it. When we arrived, I was initially concerned after learning that the "G" on the menu indicated dishes **containing** gluten rather than being gluten-free. Since many menu items were marked with a "G," I worried my options would be very limited, especially for the unlimited brunch experience. Thankfully, our server, Emma, immediately put me at ease. She brought me the food allergy menu, answered my questions with patience, and made sure I understood what was safe for me to enjoy. While my husband and I were deciding whether to stay, the manager, Antonio, came to our table after Emma shared my dietary concerns. His kindness completely changed the experience. He took the time to explain my options, offered to have the kitchen modify several dishes, and reassured me that their goal was for me to feel safe and enjoy my meal. Thanks to Emma and Antonio, what started with uncertainty became one of the most enjoyable brunch experiences I've had. I was able to enjoy a variety of delicious dishes, the mimosas were a great value, and the restaurant itself is absolutely beautiful, with floor-to-ceiling windows that fill the space with natural light. What I'll remember most, though, is how genuinely cared for I felt. Before we left, Antonio stopped by one last time to make sure I was happy with my meal and that all of my needs had been met. My husband had put so much love and intention into choosing this restaurant, and thanks to Emma and Antonio, we both left with happy hearts and full bellies. If you have food intolerances or dietary restrictions, I hope this review gives you confidence to visit Ambar. Their team didn't just accommodate my needs. They made me feel welcome, respected, and cared for. That's the kind of hospitality that earns five stars from me.

My sister and I visited for her birthday dinner and were excited to try the bottomless dinner experience. Our server was incredibly kind and attentive, and she made sure we were taken care of throughout the meal. Unfortunately, most of the dishes we ordered just didn't hit the mark. Some were overpowering, others lacked flavor, and a few came out soggy. My favorites of the night were the Tuna Crudo and Chicken Tikka Masala. I also made sure to let our server know about my peanut and tree nut allergy. She was very understanding and specifically told us that she would communicate with the kitchen to have the nuts removed from the hummus. Unfortunately, the hummus still came out with nuts on it. Thankfully, I caught it before eating it, but this is definitely an area where better communication between the kitchen and front-of-house staff is needed. Overall, I left feeling pretty underwhelmed by the experience. I think I'd still choose their brunch over their dinner offerings any day. Maybe I just caught them on an off night, but unfortunately, the bottomless dinner wasn't too great.

Drank the Valencia sunset, which I would have liked more without the red powder that was sprinkled in it- I want to say it was tajin or similar. If it were in the description of the drink I would've skipped it. Then focused on the descriptions, I ordered the orange wave before the realizing it was a mocktail, and a pricey one at $16!!! As it was my mistake I didn't mention it to the server but don't think that's a reasonable price for a mocktail. The goat cheese dip is as great as others rave, but the chicken albondigas lacked real flavor and I did not like what accompanied the lamb chops. The service was excellent but the overall experience didn't quite make 5 stars, unsure if I'd return.

Started off with the "Taste of Spain" which included Pan con tomate, Aged manchego, Jamón Ibérico de bellota, and Boquerones con naranja. Since I couldn't eat the latter two, the server said they could double the first two, which was so appreciated. For my first course, I chose the Escalivada (fire-roasted eggplant, red pepper, labne yogurt, fresh herbs, olive oil, served with focaccia) and Croquetas de setas (creamy mushroom croquettes with truffle aioli). The Escalivada was tasty, but more on the tangy side; the bread was more crostini-like than focaccia. The Croquetas were so good: creamy, savory, umami inside and crunchy outside. Next, I got the Zanahorias (spiced baby carrots, sweet and sour reduction, orange honey yogurt, mojo verde, Marcona almonds) and Patatas bravas (crispy potatoes, salsa brava, pimentón, garlic aioli). When I tell you those carrots had me dreaming about them later, I'm not kidding- all of the different flavor combos paired with the perfectly cooked carrots were amazing. The Patatas bravas was pretty classic- crispy potatoes with creamy aioli and tangy tomato sauce. Finally, for dessert, I had the Tarta de naranja (orange olive oil cake, citrus-honey yogurt), and my friend had the Tarta vasca de chocolate (Basque chocolate cheesecake, macerated strawberries, chantilly cream). Both were tasty, but the Tarta de naranja was so good: perfectly dense cake, refreshing citrus, and great contrast with the yogurt. For my drink, I got the Forget-Me-Not refrescante (butterfly pea flower, thyme, honey, lime, ginger beer). Very interesting drink, not sure I'd order again but it was good. Service was great, super willing to accommodate my vegetarian dietary restrictions. Ambiance is really nice, very modern and elegant.
