At Saby's, Mexican comfort foods are made with care - Review - Los Angeles - The Infatuation
"The moment you walk into Saby’s and smell cafe de olla and chorizo mingling in the air you'll realize you're in for a comforting meal. This family-owned daytime spot in Mar Vista makes delicious Mexican breakfast and lunch staples from scratch, like the blue corn tortillas used in their football-sized quesadillas and the pulpy salsas spooned over the huevos divorciados. If you pull up to Saby’s counter for lunch, order the mar y tierra burrito, which is one of LA’s best burritos. It’s tightly packed with breaded shrimp and charred asada, so you get double the crispiness, all doused in a tangy chipotle crema. photo credit: Sylvio Martins Food Rundown Quesadilla You can choose what grilled protein you want in this enormous quesadilla, but we prefer grilled mushrooms to keep it light. This thing is hefty: Saby’s fills this behemoth with tons of milky quesillo that stretches like taffy when you cut into it. The crema, cotija sprinkle, and shredded lettuce add all the brightness and crunch you want in a balanced quesadilla, too. photo credit: Sylvio Martins Mar Y Tierra Burrito It’s rare for a burrito to stop us in our tracks. This one does. The flour tortilla is thin but chewy, the tomato-y rice is fluffy, you get tons of crunch from the breaded shrimp and charred asada, plus delicious smoke from the grilled onions and peppers. Saby’s is also generous with its tangy, runny chipotle crema that glues it all together. photo credit: Sylvio Martins" - Sylvio Martins
