Bendiciones, Saboristas!…read more I love authentic Mexican cooking, and Sabor Mexicano did not disappoint! We enjoyed the gorditas, veggie burrito, and sope. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and delicious--and that red sauce was fabulous! Now, I have never liked tres leches cake. But as the employee filled the display case, the strawberry tres leches cake looked so pretty in its cup that I had to take a chance. It put a smile in my belly! I may not be ready to try every "wet cake" out there, but Sabor Mexicano's strawberry tres leches is an absolute must-try! Johnny's warm customer care made our takeout experience welcoming from the start. Thank you to the Sabor Mexicano familia for bringing the authentic flavors of Mexico to Michigan and doing it better than good! If you're reading the reviews and trying to decide, come hungry and give Sabor Mexicano a try. You may just leave as the newest Saborista! Buen provecho! ~Love J.

Looking at the menu, I got a weird vibe this place is trying to offer a little bit of a lot of…read moredifferent cuisines; BBQ and Mexican for sure, but also Korean, Middle Eastern. And I have to say I think this is lack of singular focus on just one type of food and offering too many different items is probably what leads to some of their stuff tasting meh to horrible. First, the shareables. The elote fries were completely bland. The fries themselves were soggy and limp (they're called fries, for crying out loud) and despite there being plenty of toppings, none of the toppings worked together. This dish was absolutely awful. Their chips and guac were fine. The guac was nice and limey. The chips were actually quite crispy and well-seasoned, which made no sense to me given the fries were the opposite. Maybe they outsource their chips. Entree-wise, we had tacos, both meat and vegetarian. Meat-wise, the pulled chicken was awful, super dry meat and yet the tacos were soaked through, I have no idea how they pulled that off, so it was pretty inedible. The beef one, which is a recent special, just tasted...wrong. Not sure how to describe it, other than it just left a bad taste in my mouth. The fried fish was actually okay. For the vegetarian options, the falafel was also very off. Something weird about their seasoning, it's just not like your typical falafel so idk what's going on there. The sweet potato and seasonal veggie ones were pretty good, though. Tortillas overall were fine but when you have to double-stack them, and the fillings still soak through, making actually eating them a form of labor, something is not working with how you are building your tacos. Service - everyone seemed friendly enough. Overall - pick a different taco place to get food from.

DATE & TIME: August 9, 2026 @ 3:00pm…read more WAIT (how busy): No wait, only a few tables of patrons. AMBIANCE: It is located in a small strip mall o. The end, decor matches the authenticity of the cuisine, music was at an appropriate level. CLEANLINESS: CUSTOMER SPACES (lobby, seating): Appeared clean BATHROOMS: Did not use SERVICE AREAS (kitchen, behind counters): Did not see. STAFF: SERVER: Younger male. Very nice, was attentive, pleasant. HOST/HOSTESS: She was very friendly. OTHER (manager, buser, bartender): Did not have any other interactions. SERVICE: Service was good, server was very nice with any questions we had. *** What we didn't appreciate was when it was time to pay the bill, the server brings out the handheld payment tool (like a lot of restaurants use now), server holds the tool so my husband can see and stares at the tool, watching my husband choose what tip amount etc. It automatically defaults to a 20% tip and then increases from there for tip choices!! We felt very pressured and awkward with this. We like to take our time and figure out how much we want to leave based on service not feel "pushed" into choosing one of the pre chosen percentage amounts (especially if they default to a minimum of 20%)!!! The server needs to leave the tool at the table walk away or stand farther back so the customer can privately pay. FOOD &/or BEVERAGE: Birria Taco Dinner TASTE: tacos were very good, flavors of the meat was amazing and that dipping sauce was so good! Beans and rice were basic (nothing different than other places). SIZE: average PRICE: $15.99 Chimichanga TASTE: chicken meat was very flavorful, overall was a very delicious chimichanga. SIZE: average PRICE: $16.99 Basic Burrito TASTE: ground meat was very flavorful, asked for only meat and cheese (normally comes with beans and rice inside) and it had a small amount of beans inside :(. Overall was a delicious basic burrito. Note that this burrito is served dry not wet. SIZE: average PRICE: $9.99 Burrito Chaparrito TASTE: shredded beef was very flavorful, asked for little beans but seemed like the normal amount, also has rice topped with cheese (this is not a wet burrito). Overall was a very good BUT this is the same as the basic burrito except you get cheese on top of this one (which costs you an extra $8.00!!), if my husband would have known that, he would have just done the basic burrito too! SIZE: average PRICE: $17.99 OVERALL THOUGHTS: Paid $80 for our family of four. Food is very good. Staff were very kind. Didn't appreciate the check paying experience (full explanation under service). WOULD I RETURN? Possibly, but we would not make a special trip.

Our daughter and I returned to the car for a phone battery and saw Proper Taco and immediately went inside. Proper taco looks to be able to support, seemingly, any dietary concern... if it isn't already noted on their menu, I recommend just asking about your needs. There are almost too many tasty items on the menu; after a few minutes, she ordered tacos and I ordered Merv nachos for my wonderful wife and me. While we waited we laughed at the many magnets and other items with humorous quotes on them. We enjoyed this great food back in our seats, at the concert. I can speak to the fact that the Merv tacos are quite nice - great chips with so many flavors on top. Fantastic staff. Fantastic food, leading to my Plus Plus (++) award! Thank you, Proper Taco! We look to return on our next visit.

We decided to show up and only had to wait about 45mins as we had a large group. Not much of a wait for eveyone else in smaller parties. Drinks: love the flight of margaritas. Eveyone in our party ended up getting a flight as it was definitely more cost effective. The writing in the menue is a bit grammatically incorrect as it places Mango and hibiscus together and made eveyone think it was one flavor when in fact it was two flavors. When we orders our waitress said something to me but not the next people who arrived who also felt it was a mixed flavor they were going to be getting. The Mango has a a salt rim that I would normally pair with a spicy margarita. Not something sweet but it worked. The appetizers we ordered: wflight of salas and added 2 guacamole for our party of 6. All were good and had a variety of heats for eveyone. I personally don't like heat so I stuck with that mild salsa. Ellotte: This was bit underwhelming. It only had a dollop of the cream sauce on top of some corn. I would like to have seen it mixed in or a much bigger scoop as I didn't order just corn, The tacos were good. By the time they came we were all full but able to eat our tacos and Mexican sandwhich. Eveyone enjoyed there food.
