My wife and I recently moved to Mukilteo and were on the hunt for a great Mexican restaurant—and we found it! Even though the place was packed, we were greeted with a quick, warm smile and hello. This is clearly a community favorite, and I can see it being perfect for a large party. We kicked off our meal with a fantastic Cadillac Margarita and an ice-cold Victoria beer. The menu is traditionally focused with all the classics. I went with the delicious Chile Verde, and my wife enjoyed the chicken quesadilla special plate. Everything tasted exactly as you'd hope from a long-standing, family-run restaurant it's all about the quality and flavor, not the flash. We even got to chat with the owner, Ruben, who mentioned they’ve been in the area for about 20 years. They must be doing something right! We're already planning our next visit. Highly recommend this local gem!

Hands down, the BEST Mexican cuisine we have had in Washington! The owner is genuinely invested in making sure you have a great experience when you are eating in his restaurant. Do yourself a favor, and come try it for yourself! I'm not sure if they even have to- go boxes, because there are never any leftovers!
BEST Mexican food in Washington State! Reminded us of our favorite Texas restaurants. The red sauce was so rich and flavorful I wanted to lick the plate clean. I was taught how to make tortillas by a good friend/cook from Mexico and I think Sabor's corn tortillas are homemade. They're soft, with a hint of grilled corn, and a little thick like homemade tortillas are. We were so engaged with the delicious food I forgot to take "before" photos. (Be careful of the margarita!! I stumbled back to the ferry dock!)
Kind of a plain dining room in a humble strip mall, but the service is great and the food is completely solid. They're kinda going for the family dining room with sports bar environment, except all in one room. Full bar, flat screens showing the game, nice big colorful laminated menu with somewhat-Americanized favorites. I had the carne plate for $27 and it was very good, very filling. Nice roasty grilled flavors on the meat. There are a ton of ambitious Mexican places around here now, but when I'm close by I'm happy to keep this one in the rotation.
Please tell the kitchen thank you for me. The standards for food here are so incredibly high. It seems they are shooting for the moon for they seem to always land in the stars. I’ve never, ever had a bad meal come out of this pristine kitchen. That experience is un-heard of. As a diamond in the rough, y’all EARNED our Mayor John’s devotion as a regular. I truly see the reason why he keeps coming back. Thank you so much!!!!! My only regret, is that I didn’t take a photo of every single meal! I believe every master piece needs to be remembered! As a blissful experience, this deserves to be shared time and time again. I found my favorite dish! It’s the Dungeness crab enchiladas. I’ve started to order it as a burrito and savor the layers of flavors. I recommend you try it as a enchilada first. This way you can choose to mix and match your bites of cheesy, savory herb and crab enchiladas with the on plate sides of rice and beans. It’s a must try in every form!! I’m amazed that this one dish has captivated my palate, and given me a new level of cravings for great food!! My deepest thanks, from the bottom of my very full stomach!! I’ll see you tomorrow <3
I have driven by this restaurant for years on the Mukilteo Speedway. I finally ventured in after reading about it in the Mukilteo Beacon. From the outside it doesn’t look as inviting as it is on the inside. I definitely wished I would have stopped sooner! What a great little find. The complimentary chips and salsa to start out were warm and crispy. I ordered the small plate and had one beef taco and one chicken enchilada with rice and beans. It was more than enough food. Hubby ordered the dinner size meal. He had 2 beef tacos and one enchilada with rice and beans! Big portions! Everything was served hot and delicious. The restaurant was clean and the service was amazing! A must try if you like good Mexican food and enjoy a small family owned restaurant where the people care about great service and great food! The owner, Ruben, even came to clear our table and introduce himself. Thank you Sabor A Mexico! We’ll be back soon!
Have been coming here for several years. Absolutely LOVE the chips and salsa. I usually get an extra order to go so it'll last me longer. The staff is very attentive and work together well. They make their drinks strong and their portions large. I would recommend almost everything on the menu. Tacos, flautas, burritos, Chile verde/Colorado, fajitas, and more that I've tried and loved. Here there's an atmosphere that brings me back. Now they have a Carne Asada bowl that is delicious a refreshing!
Wow! Terrific Mexican food. The complementary salsa and chips are the best! We enjoyed lunch with two beef enchiladas, rice and beans. An avocado tostada also with rice and beans. Definitely a place to come again.
