Sabor Latin Street Grill

Y’all have got to go here! Sabor is a beloved eatery that has a huge following in Charlotte and has successfully expanded to many locations. We are so fortunate that they chose to add a Columbia location! Seriously, go eat here, try their daily specials (select $1 tacos every Tuesday and many more)! PRO TIP: It can be hard to find/easy to pass on Gervais. Don’t pay for parking. Take Lady St. to in front of M Vista and look across the street (PNC Bank) and park there in dedicated Sabor parking. 😁👍

Sabor is a Charlotte based South American style restaurant located in the Vista. While it is a chain restaurant and maintains a bit of that chain feel, the food is above average, especially for this type Central American-style chain restaurant. For example, the tortillas used for their tacos are far superior to those you will find at similarly situated restaurants at the same price point. The servings of meat to tortilla ratio are sublimely generous and I hope they remain so. Yet, the most enjoyable dishes are on its street food menu. The empanadas were good, the arepa tasty, and the nachos were gigantic. While the food is generally good; currently, Sabor seems to be suffering from its own growing pains. The staff seems unfamiliar with their system and their menu, which caused three separate mistakes on the same order. If they grow out of those pains I hope to seem Sabor stand in the area as a better alternative to some of the same type of SA/Mex restaurants up and down the Gervais.

I would give this place a 4.5 but living in New England I think I’m experiencing bias. I tried A LOT. Here are all the pics and I encourage saving room for desert

Really glad they are here. We had previously been to one in Charlotte. There are lots of burrito, taco places, but the flavoring here is delicious and different from the rest. Good location right in between Lady and Gervais and parking in the back. Service was great. We will be eating here often.
