Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

Excerpts

We've been here twice and both times we enjoyed our meals. El Sabor means flavor in English, and they are true to the name. The first time, I had red mole chicken and my husband had shrimp ranchera. Both were tasty. I haven't had red mole before, it was delicious. Lots of deep, rich flavor. My husband's shrimp was a generous portion lots of grilled onions and peppers. The 2nd time, we went for breakfast. I had chiliquiles and my husband had huevos reancheros. The chiliquiles were very good. They mixed tortilla chips with scrambled eggs with some cotija cheese on top, along with rice and beans. My husband liked his eggs, which came with potatoes and tortillas. There wasn't a Ranchero sauce on the eggs, but he put salsa on them which was delicious.

Okay overall. I ordered the chilaquiles and they were good. The sauce used was a bit bland. I wished it was a bit spicy but that is personal preference. If you like a tomato-y sauce, you’ll like the chilaquiles. Service was good. The waitress was friendly but it seemed like she didn’t know anything about the business. At the end I asked if they accepted tap payment and she didn’t know. Overall, pretty okay. Wouldn’t go back but this place will suffice if you’re hungry.

Delicious food! Love the taquitos and the frijoles!! I was also pleasantly surprised by the event space in the back. It's so spacious and would be perfect for gatherings. We will be back again
