Sabor! Central American Cuisine

This place has the worse service their food is not even that good I order a mariscada tasted so nasty is nothing but cheap fish two shrimps and nothing else usually mariscadas they put a whole bunch of seafood I send my order back and the lady ask me what was wrong so we told her it was the worse mariscada my daughter and I had!!!

Good pupusas

Cool little El Salvadorian restaurant. Delicious Pupusas. Dessert was great but I forgot what it was called. Want to return to try some more authentic latin food.

This showed up as the second most popular pupusa place in Houston. Per my sister’s choice, we came to this one instead of the first place.
I have no idea what other Central American fare was even available because I came in craving pupusas and that’s pretty much all I ate. (Note: They are now $ 1.65 a piece, up from $ 1.50).
The pupusas deserve a ⁴⁄₅. I’ve had them about ten times in my life so far — all homemade by Salvadorians — and these were not as great as those. They weren’t bad, but I now compare all pupusas with the ones I had that were homemade. Is it fair to compare restaurant foods to homemade equivalents? Probably not, but that doesn’t stop me.
The pupusas were super cheesy and delicious. The loroco was the cheesiest. The revueltas were great too. The pupusas all came with the salsa and curtido.
My sister also decided to be adventurous and try the horchata. It reminded both of us of something we used to drink when we were little but we couldn’t quite put our finger on it.
Overall, if I were in the neighborhood and hungry, I would definitely come back in to have more pupusas.

Every now and then, I crave for some Salvadorian food. Unfortunately Salvadorian venues are scarce where I live. So whenever I’m back in Houston on vacation, eating this food is a must!
Luckily for me my parents had been to Sabor a handful of times and took me there. I’m so glad they did because this place is aweome! It’s small, yet very cozy and extremely clean. It’s located in a strip mall but with plenty parking spaces.
My dad recommended their mariscada and being the seafood lover that I am, I happily ordered one. So did everyone else in our party. I also ordered some pupusas revueltas, and some yucca with chicharron. Everything was beyond delicious! The pupusas were huge, not greasy, and had lots of cheese! Just the way I like them. The yucca was very crispy and tasty. Though what really stood out for me, was their mariscada indeed. It had an extraordinary flavor, a very rich and creamy broth. Unlike other seafood soups or stews I’ve had elsewhere, this mariscada has plenty of seafood; a half blue crab, mussels, shrimps, and a lot of fish.
Bottom line, this place sure delivers. Everything is decently priced, big portions, and incredibly savory food! Not to mention, the wait staff was very attentive and caring. I’ll be definitely back for more!

muy buena la mariscada, las pupusas muy grandes y ricas tambien

I was really hoping for some Nicaraguan food but in the end my britches were bursting out the seams after eating everything I ordered (apparently my eyes like to order for a family of 4!).
The restaurant is located in a small shopping center in the multicultural awesome pot on Bellaire. Once inside, you realize that you will be treated like family and served such awesome food that you’ll beg for more. It really was as if my Momma was in the back cooking up the grub.
*Be sure to order the platanos fritos and the pasteles de carne!
I will seriously make a stop here even if I’m nowhere near!

Sabor is my favorite Salvadorian place in Houston. As a native Salvadorian, the marisquada is up to par to the one I’ve had at Usulutan. The PUPUSAS are good and not greasy.
