This gem is located in Philly. The service was a ten, they are super attentive and made recommendations. The decor was full of puertorican memorabilia and ambiance was welcoming. The food was the real star here. The food was delicious and just like grandma cooking. If you are in the area definitely eat and enjoy.

When I worked in the neighborhood, I used to come here for breakfast and lunch. The homemade bread is superb. Not on the menu, but they used to make me a panini with their wonderful bread and bacala salad. Highly recommended!

First off, the owner is passionate about his food and his customers. He has a good variety, always fresh. Breakfast, lunch and dinner always a win. Nothing better than going into a restaurant where people are friendly and really want you to be happy with their food.

The customer service is nothing like I have ever experienced. Let's not forget the food - PHENOMENAL!!! Billy and his son took care of us like we were family. We had bistec, mofongo, grilled chicken and arroz con maiz. It's as if my grandmother was cooking. To top it off, Billy gave us flan on the house which was amazing. Many blessings to this family.

I recently moved to Philadelphia and have been nostalgic about the flavors from home. I found this place on google and decided to make the trip to the Norris Square neighborhood and try it out.It was well worth the trip!!!!The restaurant is close to public transit (5 minute walk from septa Berks station) and right across the street from a lovely park. I recommend taking a stroll after your meal!Billy, the owner, greeted me personally within a few seconds of coming in and little did I know that Billy would ask me what food I was on the mood for and boy, did he deliver!!!!!!!He made me seafood rice, carne frita, fried plantains and gandules.After the food I was short of licking my plate clean!Everything was clean, the food was freshly made as well as flavorful and authentic, plus the portion size is generous and affordably priced. The ambience of the place was cozy and friendly as the other patrons were all smiles and seemed to enjoy their meals as well. On the background, authentic Puerto Rican music by El Gran Combo was playing and made me feel right at home in addition to the lovely stone decorations all over the place that resemble life on the island. I cannot recommend this place enough! I look forward to coming back regularly. You should check it out soon too!Come, say hi to Billy, and try his delicious food. You won't regret it.

So I'm a big critic of restaurants especially being that my husband and are pretty good cooks. We are always told how picky we are. However when I tell you everything was BEYOND good is an understatement. I got fried filet red snapper and my husband got grilled chicken breast. The portion serving is enough for both of us. Plus there corn fritters and Empandas . Will definitely be going back and would definitely give them a 10 if it was possible. Ps. It was my husband birthday also and I had called earlier that day to verify their hours and they remembered my called and bought out a plate with there desserts and a candle and song happy birthday to him.

I was in Philli on work travel and came across El Sabor. The owner and his son were very welcoming and even gave us an appetizer while we waited for our food. I highly recommend this place if you're looking for some great puerto rican food.

What a fantastic restaurant - I happened up upon this place a few years ago and have stopped in a a few times here and there. This past Saturday stepped in with a friend and man, it did NOT disappoint. What a fabulous experience, from the food to the service to the space. It's all made so much better to see and talk to Billy and his son and just watch how excited he gets when he sees you enjoying the food. We had the pork and the chicken and tostones and fried fish and empanadas - we just wanted to stay there and keep eating everything was so, good. And Billy made everything on the spot. Service was fantastic, food was out of this world. Can't say enough!!

We were in Philly for the day and decided to get good Puerto Rican Spanish food. We did an internet search and the restaurant El Sabor popped up. Boy were we glad this spot was the one. The food was amazing and the owner and his son treated us as if we were in their home having dinner with them. They were so graceful and courteous. They definitely left a lasting impression on our whole family and anytime we're in Philly, El Sabor is a mandatory stop for us.
