    Milanesa de carne
    Katrina F.

    Sorry for the half-eaten food; when you look forward to a meal for soo long, sometimes, taking pictures is the last thing on your mind ^.^ This is a small Latin / Central American restaurant. Delicious food, decent portions, good quality, excellent service, but expensive. Is it worth the price? For the most part, I think it could be a few dollars cheaper, but they don't cater to the people in the area. For this reason, I can only come every few months. Their food is delicious do. Stop by if you are in the area and want to try high-quality Latin food.

    Gambas al Ajillo!  Delicious!

    If I could give more stars I would!!! If I was on GOT and had a last meal, I would hit Johnny up at this fine establishment and get it in! Yall!!! This place is the real deal! Like..For real.. The staff is like family, the food is delicious! I see the female cooks! delicious food, wonderful people, and great times!

    Great place, good food, friendly staff! Their chips and warm salsa is delicious! Recommend this place for a homemade food.

    Pineapple mojito.
    Julianne B.

    Went here tonight with a friend and everything was so good! The service was great and the food even better! I got the Lomo Saltado which is "Pan sautéed tenderloin tips with red onions, tomatoes, green pepper, French fries, jalapeños, cilantro, and green peas in our homemade Peruvian style sauce." Everything went together so well and I paired it with a pineapple mojito. Delicious. We spent a pretty good amount of money but for what we got, I didn't mind! I'll definitely be back!

    Stuffed salmon with spinach and mushrooms
    Barbara T.

    The best food around. The tropical salad is amazing. The salmon in whichever type you get is delicious. And the regular server lady is notches gorgeous but so so sweet. The salsa they give you with the chips is to die for. Love this place! I'm also getting a carry out for my daughter and family who live further away. They love the chicken Pupusas oh my grandson got the stuff shrimp.I just got the salmon and look how Amazon!

    Vegetable fajitas
    Toyosi O.

    Whenever we drive past we always see so many people inside so this restaurant always piqued our interest. Finally, we decided to come here for my sister's birthday and honestly, we were kind of underwhelmed. The taco salad tasted great and the enchiladas are what you expect. On the other hand, the vegetable fajitas lacked flavor to a point where it was shocking... The overall restaurant was pretty nice and the staff was great! Next time I'll just make sure no one orders the vegetable fajitas.

    Tropical salad

    Another wonderful meal at elegant Samantha's. They have the best chicken, tamales and tropical salad with their homemade dressing and good chips with delicious salsa. Please Support this restaurant that has such delicious food. And the staff is just the best you can't go wrong with ordering anything it's all delicious!

    Oh, I can't believe I didn't leave a review for the spot, even though I've been a few times though!…read moreIt's been a while, but man are they delicious. I would describe them as a combination of classic and elevated Latin food. The vibe of the restaurant is very casual, but the presentation of many of the dishes takes it to another level. They also have a wide selection of beer and wine. I have had tacos, octopus, breakfast tacos, and tamales. Everything was flavorful and quite tasty. I will admit service was a little slow the last time I went, but given the weather and the fact that we weren't in a rush it wasn't a big deal. If you haven't been yet, you should go. The colorful presentation reminds me of Palette 22, and rumor has it they are expanding to the Ethiopian restaurant that closed next door. I hope that's true!

Could work on those fried plantains as they were a little soggy. The quinoa salad was good, a bigger portion would have been nice for the price paid and maybe if it would be easier to eat if served in a bowl. The chorizo sandwich was okay. Presentation and bread could be better. We left curious about their regular menu so we may give it a try some other time. Their staff were nice but not very knowledgeable about their menu items. They didn't really know how to answer my question about their vegan tres leches and told me it was not actually vegan after indicating it had condensed milk and heavy cream.

Dining with kids can be challenging, so it's always nice when restaurants and staff are accommodating. The staff at Sabor Mixteca went above and beyond that. They were super fast with their service, but also showed warmth and kindness the entire time that made the meal delightful. The decor in the restaurant is vibrant and fun. They also had a clean, well-kept bathroom. The food was great. Everything came out in a timely manner and was excellently flavored and balanced. You could tell that this wasn't just like your run-of-the-mill taco joint. The flavors had a depth (especially the guisado) that brought things up a notch. But, like I was saying - although the food was great and memorable, I was really appreciative of how awesome the staff was and would love visiting again if we're in the area. Would definitely recommend.

Everything else was delicious. My shrimp tacos were full and had great flavor. They fell apart while eating them, maybe if they had less sauce or the tortilla was grilled a little more it would have held up but they were so good I didn't even mind it. Our kids and my partner loved all of their food as well.

Every component is perfect and I wouldn't change a thing. I did really want to try their breakfast burrito and was sad (& surprised) they aren't open for breakfast on Mondays, because online it says they are. Anyways, we got there right when they opened for dinner and others clearly had the same idea. You order inside at the counter, sit and they bring you your food. Our food did take awhile to come out though, and we were giving the tables around us side eye for getting their food before us. We devoured our chips and salsa in the meantime. All 3 salsas are amazing and worth getting! They went great on the burrito too. Matcha horchata and Arnold Palmer were refreshing, and I appreciate the more inventive drinks than your standard taqueria. And now onto the main event... THE California burrito. Man, it made me happy to be alive. We sat on the patio and it was lovely, and shaded by the umbrellas.

Just because it's free doesn't mean it has to be v8 with some onions and cilantro mixed in. Definitely a miss. Black bean burrito: get that hot sauce, you are gonna need it solely for flavor. The ranchera sauce s is tasted suspiciously like ole El Paso enchilada sauce from tin. A miss for me on its own, passable if you add the hot sauce. Chicken tacos: "good". Not great. Tortillas not warmed up properly. That hot sauce they give you comes in super useful just to get some flavor because on its own it just isn't doing much. He ate them all but that was hunger more than enjoyment. Again a miss without the sauce. Mango and strawberry mojito: actually good! Nice flavor, not too much sugary mix. A hit! Something to note: They have this roving band of musicians that go around to tables and play music. Instruments and all. If that's your thing then maybe that's a reason to stop by for a drink but if it's not for you then at least you are aware. Nothing I would come back for. 3/5 but more like 2.5/5.
