Sabor Latino - Dallas

Came here on a Sunday with a party of five. We ordered a ton of food, and every single item was seasoned, hot, fresh, and delicious. We had picada, empanadas de carne, sopa de ajiaco, carne guisada, platano relleno, side orders of papas criollas and yuca frita, buñuelos, pan de bonos, and both deserts --the pastel de maracuya and the milhojas. My wife and daughter are Colombian, born and raised, so they have high standards for their Colombian food. Some takeaways: - The empanadas are exactly like the ones we like in Colombia, and very similar to the ones my mother-in-law makes- The pan de bonos are the best we've ever had. We ordered 4 more to go for our ride home.- Everything fried was fried perfectly (which is a skill, and most places fall short). The fried sides of papas criollas and yuca were particularly good. We had a lot of yuca and papas criollas, because they were in the picada and the carne guisada. - The carne guisada was excellent. The guiso was highly seasoned and the combo of beef, guiso, onions in the guiso, yuca, and papas made for a great bite. The little side salad of dressed cabbage was not an afterthought, and was great. The plantains were not an afterthought and were great.- The aji was excellent. Refreshing and cut through the fat of the fried foods and the richness of the guisada.- The picada was excellent (though pricey at $30 for one person, and $45 for two people). The beef and chicken, which are usually boring, were both freshly grilled and highly seasoned. The chorizo was a standout. The chicharron was exactly how we like it: fried to crunchy! Soft chicharron in a picada is a sign of a bad picada. The yuca frita and papas criollas were so good that we ordered both as sides. Yes, I dipped them in ketchup and mayo, a sort of separated salsa rosada (gasp!). No regrets. - The sopa de ajiaco was freshly made, and that hurt it a little, because the starches hadn't been bathing for long and so hadn't gotten a chance to release their thickening goodness, so the broth was clear. However, it was seasoned and delicious. And a steal at $13 for a huge bowl with rice and avocado.- The maracuya dessert was incredible. Mousse de maracuya over a layer of cake, and topped with maracuya glaze. - My daughter said the milhojas was the best she's ever had. I thought it was delicious, but missed the crunch. Service was fully Colombian restaurant in Colombia experience. Super nice. Not always attentive in the American way, so get over that and you'll be fine. But super friendly. I know for sure I'll be going back next time I'm in the area.

Can't get enough of this place. It's 1 of 3 Colombian spots in DFW, as far as I know. I've tried all three; all are great, but this location and Arlington Sabor have consistency with their flavor. You're probably going to experience a wait; consider utilizing their BOYB option which nobody seems to know about. I recommend vodka with their passion fruit drink. Bees knees! Take your person on a date here. It'll impress and give you a chance to talk. Trust me. Lastly, the owner recently had his mobile restaurant (which is apparently coming soon) parked at the Arlington location. This thing is beautiful! Gotta try it at least once!

Very authentic food. The restaurant has cool paintings and has a very Colombian theme. The food tastes good and is very authentic.

Rica comida casera! de parte de una Mexicana. Bandeja paisa y el sancocho estaba muy rico se los recomiendo.

Authentic Colombian food! The best Colombian food we've had in the states! Gracias! we are hoping to come visit again soon!

Wow! I was super excited to know that there was a Colombian restaurant in Dallas. We love Colombian food and many times, had to go far away from Dallas home just to taste this amazing culture. The food was great. I could remember my mom's fried plantains taste. The beans are well cooked and flavored. The salad had the perfect season, not too much. Chicharrón was great too. My husband got the day special Sancocho de Gallina which was better than mine. The service was good and friendly. The decorations is inspiring such as image faces of Shakira, Carlos Vives, Gabriel García Márquez and others. Hope to be back with my work team since it is close to my work. Great job ! Sabor Latino.

This place has the most flavor when it comes to Colombian food. Service is good and friendly. And the prices are decent. Highly recommended.

The taste of their food is very good. The warmth of the servers is quite welcoming. They take time to explain the plates they offer. I had a very positive experience and definitely will put this place in my rotation of good homemade feeling food serving restaurants in the Dallas area.

Everything tastes very fresh, but at the same time lacking. Nothing in my bandeja paisa had enough salt. So bland. The pork belly was nearly impossible to cut and chew. The empanadas have an interesting texture, but you can taste the vegetable oil, and the filling is mostly potato and not meat.

I love Colombian food, it's one of my favorite. The Bandeja Paisa is my favorite meal. I came here for the 1st time, I have to admit my expectations are high coming from CASA Vieja. This place really disappointed me I feel like the picture describes how I feel the food was here.
