El Sabor - Melbourne

I would rate El Sabor as 3.5 out of 5 stars, but I rounded up for Zomato. There are many Mexican restaurants in Melbourne, making it difficult for one to truly stand out. El Sabor may not be the best Mexican restaurant I've been to, but it certainly is not the worst. The food is of good quality and the tacos are reasonably priced.

The friendly neighbors at this restaurant surprised us with a tomatillo plant one day. We could hear them playing "Nothing Compares 2 U" by Sinead O'Connor and Mazzy Star in the kitchen, which made us a little nervous, but overall we recommend visiting this place.

I recently dined at this incredibly authentic Mexican restaurant with some friends on a Monday night and it did not disappoint. The atmosphere is unique yet inviting, the service is quick and attentive, and the food was exceptional with generous portions, flavorful dishes, and reasonable prices. I particularly enjoyed the grilled quesadillas with cheese, onion, and mushrooms. I highly recommend this restaurant and look forward to returning to sample more of their menu offerings in the future.

I have been to El Sabor twice over the last twelve months and haven’t been disappointed at all! The food is always fresh and am keen to go back soon!

Came here for dinner when en route to a play in the neighbourhood. I booked via Zomato which was quick and easy to do after looking at well rated restaurants in the area. Looked forward to trying the tacos after hearing that the Tortillas are hand pressed on site- making this an authentic destination to try Mexican fare in Melbourne. Staff were friendly and greeted us immediately as we walked in. Helpful with explaining the menu to us as it was our first time dining here, and were able to make our tine there comfortable. <br/ <br/ We decided to have a drink or two whilst sharing a ceviche and some grilled corn. Both of these dishes came quickly after we ordered them and were delicious. Loved how fresh the ceviche was- just would have loved the tortilla crisps to have been more in tact as they were hard to handle and scoop the ceviche with. We then got 3 tacos each (which were on special with a margarita for $24). I decided on trying the el pastor, carnitas (both Pork) and a pollo (chicken) taco. My partner tried a carnitas, pollo and Baja (battered fish) taco. These took a little longer to be served but were delicious and very flavoursome although smaller than I thought they would be (just slightly bigger than my palm, each). I had just been in America which set the bar high for Mexican food for me and this place came close. I’d definitely come back!
