My friends and I stopped by for dinner last Monday and I've been excited to give Sabores Tapas Bar a try because I've heard a lot of raving reviews about it. I was floored by how good the tapas here were. Everything we tried was above average, and our server was so helpful and willing to give her input on her favorite tapas and recommend options based on our preferences.
PATATAS BRAVAS - 8
Lots of aioli and bravas sauce. This is a staple tapa that you can't really go wrong with and hard to mess up. The potatoes were crispy and the sauces were standard. Nothing special, but a classic option that is worth getting.
SETAS AL AJILLO - 8
I love mushrooms and these were good, but I wish the mushrooms soaked up more flavor. Even though there were garlic, olive oil and parsley, I still felt like the mushrooms themselves were a bit bland. Still would recommend if you're a mushroom fan like me!
CROQUETAS DE POLLO - 8
Comes with five bite sized croquettes. Super creamy (not too heavy, probably because it's just a bite) with white meat chicken, I think. These were great and my group enjoyed them.
AREPITAS - 8
I believe these came with four (very tasty) bites. We chose the shredded beef as our option and it was so flavorful and well marinated. On top of that, the cheese added more of a savory taste and the fried corn cakes were similar to fries and were perfectly crispy. These were so delicious and definitely one of my favorite tapas that I've tried, would highly recommend.
CHICARRÓN CON YUCA FRITA - 7
Not the biggest fans of the pork rinds (they were kind of hard on my teeth and stuck in between the cracks), but the yuca fries here are a must. It was so crispy and so flavorful. The sauces that come with it were delicious too, so I'd recommend ordering this just for the yuca!
CHURRASCO - 13
I enjoyed the grilled skirt steak (very tender, too, and you can choose how you want your steak grilled) but I'm not a huge fan of the chimichurri sauce. However, if you like chimichurri, this is a great option. My friends found this tapa the most flavorful and a couple of them thought it was their favorite of tonight.
PICANHA AO ALHO - 12
This was my favorite. The sirloin pieces were just seasoned gently with salt and olive oil (and we requested medium rare) and it was so delicious. Maybe I'm just a simple person and prefer it without sauce, but this was definitely my favorite tapa of tonight. The steak was juicy, tasty and tender, and yet, so simple.
ARROZ DE AZAFRÁN Y MARISCOS - 12
I really liked the mussels that came with this tapa and would definitely want to try other tapas with mussels or clams from this location in the future. The rice was a bit mushy and didn't have a lot of flavor. There was a good amount of shrimp, peppers, and other garnishes mixed in. Still, it's not a bad option if you want something with a rice base.
Sabores is pretty new (opened sometime in spring 2023?) but I know I will be back to try other tapas. I'm impressed by the quality and price of the food and am thankful that there is a delicious tapas restaurant so close to me. I want to say this is the best tapas I've had in this area.
