Sabor De Mexico

I have lived in San Antonio all my life; eaten at so many taco places, I can’t count them. I ordered three chorizo and bean tacos. Simple order. Tacos arrive and I open them, to put some chile sauce on them, and there’s no chorizo on them. I call the waitress and ask if they forgot to put the chorizo on them. She responds, «No, it’s there. Don’t you see it?» That’s a question you ask of someone trying to find Waldo, not chorizo on a taco. I said, «No, I don’t see it.» She then says, «Well, that’s the way we make them here.»
I figure, oh well, I’ll eat them anyway. As soon as I tasted the beans, I knew I was not going to be able to finish these. They were bad. I don’t know why, maybe old, who knows. I left everything, coffee, tacos, everything. I was charged anyway. Avoid this place like the plague.

Barbacoa gets five stars. Huevos Rancheros with Guisada gets 5 stars. EVERYTHING GETS FIVE STARS!
You won’t be sorry. The service is very friendly and fast. I love it here!

Every time I try something new from here, my mind is blown. All the things I have tried are sooo good, fairly priced, and they are brought to us quickly.
The first thing I took a gamble on was the barbacoa, and boy am I sure glad I did! The combo comes with tortillas, limes, cilantro, and onion already, so there’s no need to ask! Mind readers, much? Since that fateful morning (really afternoon), I have gone on to try many more things. Here are my findings:
Tacos= the bomb.
Pancakes= the bomb.
Carne guisada= the bomb.
Churros= the bomb.
Chips and salsa= the BOMB.
It tastes like my mom was back there making this stuff… well, almost. Still, this place is the next best thing.

A very nice little family run place for breakfast or lunch. The food is good, the prices are very fair and the service is friendly. Definately worth a visit if you are in the area at breakfast time.
On weekends they have menudo on the menu and it is so very good. The menudo is seasoned nicely and prepared right so no oil slick nor is it gamey.
They now offer barbacoa every day. A pound is $ 9.99. Comes with everything you need for assembling tasty tacos. Get a pound to go and munch at home or bring some friends and munch there.
Both the flour and corn tortillas are fresh made in house. Both are delicious, though I generally go with the corn. So very tasty.
Such a wonderful hidden gem on Austin Hwy.

Great food. I always make sure to visit whenever in town. Always feel welcome. Chicken enchilada are the best!

Great little restaurant! The food is freshly prepared and the staff is cheerful– a big «hello» from the owner every time I walk in. I highly recommend their lunch menu. Meats are expertly grilled, sides are all their own. Big perfect flour tortillas too! Their breakfast tacos are a favorite of mine before work. Try this place and I promise you’ll be pleased.

Freshly prepared plates (no heat lamps!) in the friendliest family owned little place around. We’ve been coming here for years and have never been disappointed. The owners are the cooks and they greet everyone with a cheerful ‘hello’. Tortillas are wonderful and they use real cheese– the three nearest restaurants don’t. We’ve moved a bit farther away but still sneak over at least twice a week. Their pico de gallo is always fresh and they have excellent hot sauces.
There are 18 mexican restaurants on Austin Hwy and we choose Sabor de Mexico!

The asada street tacos were good, but for cheap Mexican food, Blanco’s just down the street is better. As stated in the other reviews, the staff is friendly and welcoming.

Juan Gabriel smoothie with breakfast tacos. Fresh tortilla. Service is friendly and attentive. Same cook over dozens of visits. Best breakfast and value on northeast side.

Really bad service, waitress kept forgetting our order, and very little food for price total! Won’t be eating there again!

Great food.
Been coming here since they open up the place. We got to know the owner, super friendly and great to talk to…

Ate breakfast here this morning. Huevos Rancheros with coffee for 3.25! Great tortillas, green salsa was spicy and tasty. Friendly staff, good food. Highly recommend for breakfast.

I get potato rice and guacamole… And it’s delicious. The owner is the chef and he’s the only guy who cooks there so it’s SUPER CONSISTENT!
The salsa verde is a little spicier than most places. So be warned!
Enjoy, friend!

Very clean dining room and friendly folks running it — a family run place with lots of repeat customers and everybody knew everybody :-) The service was great — she was right there but not obtrusive. Unfortunately the food, while hot and served quickly, was kind of. .. .. average??? Barbacoa was good but not great. Potatos were very awful — frozen or dried and pretty much tasteless. Refried beans. .. again, average at best. My wife enjoyed her chorizo and eggs but didn’t rave about them. The tortillas were the exception — excellent! Prices were great, but. .. .the food wasn’t. We won’t return here.

I grew up in San Antonio and am amazed now when I visit that so many of the Mexican restaurants are so bad.
Not so Sabor de Mexico! This wonderful little spot is a throwback to those earlier times when Tex-​Mex hadn’t yet entered the vernacular and Mexican food was served in little hole in the wall restaurants in strip malls.
Simple and clean dining room, excellent freshly prepared food, nice friendly waitresses and very reasonable prices. We eat here at least twice a week, even though it’s a bit of a drive.
We pass by a bewildering array of other Mexican restaurants on Perrin Beitel and Austin Highway to get here. It’s the best one.
