Sabor Latino Restaurant

Stopped in for lunch and a quick drink. Had a michelada and an empanada. I have been all over Mexico and had many empanadas throughout the Yucatan. This version is Peruvian style and was a slight different variation from what I was used to. It was fun to try a different cultures food for a different experience. The service was outstanding and made a a great experience.

I loved the food and the service! Very friendly and family-oriented.

I quite enjoyed this place, but just had one issue. The staff were nice but there was only 2 for the entire restaurant, which was quite empty on a Thursday night. You are served a thing of tortilla chips and a spicy salsa. I had a steak with white rice, over easy egg and guacamole. I loved the guacamole, it was seasoned perfectly and creamy. The over easy egg was done perfectly and the white rice was great! The steak could have been really good but I asked for medium and it was well done, so it was tough, the flavors were good though. The paella valanceaga was pretty good! It's not a typical paella but a rice made and then added in meat like shrimp, squid, octopus, green mussels, and sausage. The rice had some spiciness to it that reminded me of a seafood seasoning, overall it was quite delicious! As for the drinks I had the lime frozen margarita and it was delicous! I definitely recommend trying this place out if you want to try some more of the authentic Latino and Peruvian dishes.

New trip review A year later here I am eating the same thing that I’ve always gotten every time I come in here still excellent tasting food and Ishmyel is a great server. Always takes care of me. Last year I reviewed also just wanted to give a update Everything is great !The food here has a very good taste and amount of seasoning is just right. I usually get there Mexican side speedy Gonzales , but this is also a Peruvian restaurant and in that that means that they have Pisco, which is a type of liquor that is very good in a margarita or a pisco sour, I always ask for Ishmyel, a very large open space not quite so intimate if you don’t like a lot of noise, but I go there for the food because the price is excellent for what you get you get a very good value for your money on lunch

Family favorite since they opened almost 30 years ago. Great food with a South American flare. Sadly, I liked the hole in the wall feel, before they remodeled. Nice job though. Best salsa in town with light crispy tortilla chips! We'll see you next week!

Excellent food, we enjoyed everything so much. The only negative is that each of our entrees came out separately. Other than that it was an excellent meal.

A delight all around!!! I have wanted to try some Peruvian dishes and was not disappointed! Really liked the arroz chaufa especial and the Peruvian tamale. My husband loved his pollo ala brasa and empanada. The pollo ala brasa was super smokey flavored and the chaufa was super garlicky! Everything was delicious and we can’t wait to come back and try more dishes from the menu!

I've eaten 3 times now here, and I've order the Milanesa de Pollo, Lomo Saltado and Tallarines a la Huancaína, and I just have to say that the dishes at this place are amazing, their Peruvian cuisine is delicious and I'd recommend it to anyone hands down. The staff is also very friendly and a pro tip: try their passion fruit juice, it goes well with any of their dishes. A must visit when coming to Birmingham for me from now on.
