I went to this place on a whim. My mother is Mexican and has always made the best Mexican in my opinion. It's almost Christmas and growing up that meant Chile relleno , tamales and caldo. My Abuelo used to make the best Chile relleno and I've been really missing him lately. He passed a few years ago. I saw it on the menu and had to try. Obviously it was different than my Abuelos. But it was damn good. The frijoles and arroz were the best I've had in a long time. The queso fresco on the frijoles 🤌🤌muy bueno. Instantly brought memories back. The presentation of the food was great. My friend had the carnitas platter. 10/10. It was 100% the real deal. I loved everything. We will definitely be back!

Sabor a Mexico may truly be the best Mexican food ever. Source? Well I ate there 😅 The service is amazing and this is a family run restaurant with extremely authentic and fresh ingredients. We had the queso fundido to start and it was nothing short of amazing. I had the Carne Asada plate and everything was beyond delicious. We tried all 3 salsas and I bought the jar of the medium heat one to take home. I’m telling you COME EAT here. Do it now.

I had dinner at Sabor A Mexico for the first time with a friend last week and had an excellent experience! The restaurant is small so I made a reservation for that night. Service was great and all employees were very friendly. The music was great. My tacos (carnitas, pastor and chilorio) were delicious as well as my spicy margarita. Will definitely be back!

Having some Mexican background, I am always curious to try Mexican restaurants to see where is the most authentic / closest in taste and ability to what I am used to. The service was very good. Originally a bit of a wait since we didn’t have a reservation, but the host walked out 5 minutes later and knocked on our car door in the rain to let us know they had a cancellation and could seat us right away. Our server was very attentive, though it did start to feel like we were rushed (maybe they had other reservations coming in and didn’t want us to overstay). We ordered the Spicy Margarita and the Mexican Mule to start since the drink reviews were strong. Was very nice to see the tequila options were good and they weren’t just using Sauza. We both asked for Maestro Dobel tequila with our drinks and they didn’t disappoint. We started with chips and salsa because I always measure quality and authenticity based on the quality of the in-house salsa. The flavour was okay, but likely would be better if it had sat for a bit to allow the flavours to seep throughout. Most of the chips were stale, which didn’t help. Then tried the queso fundido which was disappointing. Seemed to be mozzarella cheese with no added flavour and ok chorizo. Then we shared the enchiladas with salsa verde. The shredded chicken lacked flavour and there was feta cheese on top (Greek cheese, not Mexican). To anyone else’s standards this would be good quality, however I readily admit my standards are high. The best Mexican food I have found so far in BC is 4 hours away. I will continue to search the lower mainland, but would definitely return here for drinks!

Me and a friend from Honduras went here together, and the food was amazing. He said it was quite authentic tasting. The quality of the meat was amazing. However, the prices compared to portion sizes just can't be justified, for 2 dishes, and 1 drink it was over $60 before tip. It really comes down to how much you want to pay for good quality and authentic tasting Mexican food.

We visited Sabor A Mexico for the first time, and without a reservation, so we had to wait about 30 minutes for a table, so be aware to make a reservation before, as the place is quite small. The food we ordered was delicious, especially the burrito, one of the best I ever had. The chicken enchilada was amazing as well, however, the chicken inside was a bit cold. They ended up forgetting to bring our appetizer, which I really wanted to try. But I do understand they were busy and these things can happen, so not a big deal. The churros with ice cream at the end of the meal was fantastic and left us with a good impression. Overall, despite a few hiccups for a our first experience, I can say Sabor A Mexico offers a delicious authentic Mexican food and we will be coming back.

Listen Ill be honest- finding truly authentic awesome Mexican in the PNW, especially in BC is not easy and this place is EPIC. It is a smaller business, clearly family owned and operated and they dont miss the mark on a single thing from service, atmosphere, drinks, the food. I am here visiting from the island and my friend said this was a good place and I definitely agree! Also the price for the quality was very good considering how expensive this world is. We shared the guacamole and chips and I had the enchiladas de pollo as a main and it was Highly recommend and will love to return on my next visit here Thank you for a delightful dinner ! Vegetarian options: They have a designated vegetarian menu to view

Our go to place whenever we feel like comforting food and to sip on a margarita Vegetarian & Vegan friendly: As a vegetarian I am rarely so satisfied with the taste and variety at a restaurant. Their cactus & rajas tacos are delicious! Before I was a strict vegetarian, I enjoyed their ceviche so much. Service: The service is always so kind and courteous. They welcome our baby & the mess he makes with a smile too The best Mexican food in the area, better than many OG Vancouver spots too! My husband loves the fajita asada, mexican plate here a lot. And the music is always a riot for my baby and I to move to, and my husband to get nostalgic Authentic, family run, consistent, great service, high quality, reasonably priced - you really cant ask for more!

Had tried them once earlier and was not too happy with their food. But given all the good ratings, decided to come back again after a few months and this time, asked them what we should try. The waiter suggested Quesabirrias, and boy oh boy were they good. Perfectly crisped, soft, cheesy, and savory. Glad we came back and gave this place another chance. Will be back again.

Hola amigos! I ve been meaning to write this review for a while now, and I m glad to finally share my thoughts. I frequently visit this relatively new gem in Port Moody with my family, and each experience has been consistently impressive. Sabor A Mexico truly stands out, not only for its authentic and delicious Mexican cuisine but also for its exceptional service. The staff is both friendly and professional, ensuring that your meal arrives promptly without the long waits that can sometimes dampen an evening out. The menu offers a delightful array of authentic Mexican dishes that cater to various tastes. From the rich and flavorful Enchiladas de Pollo to the perfectly cooked Carne Asada Plate, Sabor A Mexico delivers on quality and authenticity. The Tacos Gobernador, with their shrimp and poblano pepper filling, are just a standout. If you re looking to immerse yourself in genuine Mexican cuisine, I highly recommend stopping by Sabor A Mexico. It s a culinary experience that truly captures the vibrant flavors of Mexico. Trust me, it s worth it!

Place was loud. We almost left. Sort of wish we had. Food was good-ish. Churros were hard. And now I m sitting at the toilets, same with kiddo. Thinking food poisoning. They only had chicken for meat for enchiladas. I ve never had to pay for chips and salsa. Salsa was really good though.$6 for a small bowl, not refillable. $4 for a can of coke was a bit outrageous. I ve had yummier cheaper food at los takos at the mall. Would I return? Prob not.

2.5/5 but rounding up. Pretty underwhelming burrito & taco salad for a hefty $45 bill. Burrito was on the small side, very little meat and dry. The taco salad was really wet and didn t have a lot of flavour. Atmosphere was buzzing so maybe it s more of a dine in vibe than the takeout we got. Or maybe we ordered the wrong dish.

We have tried so many Mexican restaurants, and by far this has been the best! The food is delicious, but their customer service won my heart! We went with my family for my husband s birthday on a Saturday night, without reservation. The place was full, and we waited for a table about 40min. After our long wait, still there were no tables available. Everyone seemed to be enjoying. Other restaurants probably would have just let me go, but they offered me take away in such a kind, attentive, and caring manner. They were genuinely concerned about my long wait and how to make it up. It s hard to get that kind of customer service nowadays. I highly recommend it!

Our recent culinary adventure at Sabor A Mexico was an absolute delight. Anticipation was high given the glowing reviews, and we were not disappointed. Despite a moderate wait, the prompt seating was a testament to their efficient service. A tantalizing appetizer of chips and guacamole set the stage for a truly memorable meal. The accompanying jalapeño and hot sauces were a symphony of flavors, with the former being a particular standout. The jalapeño sauce, a masterpiece of culinary artistry, elevated the dish to new heights. The vegetarian burrito was a revelation. The perfectly seasoned rice and harmonious blend of ingredients created a harmonious symphony on the palate. Every bite was a testament to the chefs skill and passion. The huarache with vegan chorizo was equally impressive, offering a distinctive and satisfying flavor profile. While our appetites were sated, we couldnt resist the allure of the churros. Though we were unable to indulge on the spot, the churros proved to be a delightful treat for our friends and their children later that evening. Sabor A Mexico is a must-visit for food enthusiasts seeking a truly exceptional dining experience. The combination of impeccable service, innovative cuisine, and a warm ambiance makes it a standout in the culinary landscape. We eagerly anticipate returning to explore the depths of their menu. Vegetarian options: Ask the server for veggie options they make it. They have vegan items on their menu.

You walk in and definitely get that authentic mexican feel with the paintings on the wall and the music playing. Ive been to Mexico a couple times and I gotta say that I enjoyed the food here more. I honestly dont even know what I ordered, I just pointed to a picture and got it. Amazing 10/10. Service was great too. Everyones friendly and I think its family owned? The boss man was very kind, offering refills to our nachos and his special spicy sauce (say yes if he offers). Will definitely be back next time Im craving mexican food.

Such a cute Mexican restaurant tucked away in Port Moody. My boyfriend and I have been here twice; once for dinner and once for brunch. Weve been more than happy each time. We got their tacos and burritos the first time with their Mazatlan Chorizo Beans and everything tasted amazing. Their Rajas tacos is a must try.

Friendly service, delicious food & a friendly casual atmosphere. Not cheap, but not expensive - right at average price for similar restaurants. Food costs are crazy for restaurants nowadays & they still have to make money too! Would absolutely recommend & return again.

Visited this place on whim and it sure didnt disappoint. We were fortunate to get a table on a Saturday night without a reservation, but given the size of the restaurant, you may want to consider making one. The service was fast, friendly, and welcoming. I had the Enchilada de Pollo with a mix of the red and green salsa while my wife had Chile Relleno. We found the food to be fresh, delicious, and authentic. Perfect sized portion as well. Well definitely be coming back.

This is the best Mexican spot hands down in the lower mainland. Service was impeccable. Food was fresh, large portions and tasted traditional, made by a Mexican owner / staff. Really love this place! Cannot say enough about it. So happy they are in the Tri-Cities because options out here are few and far between.

As a vegetarian who cannot eat gluten or dairy, dining out can be tricky, but Sabor a México had lots of great options for me.

Sabor A Mexico provided us w some great food and bevies. We statrted w 500gram shrimp cervice w chips & recommended tortilla soup. I had chicken ensiladas w mole sauce, i felt there was a tad too much sauce, the amount supplied was not needed but i could have asked for it in side as well:) Still a very good meal. My wife had 3 tacos of which I ate one, it was tasty! We also ordered chips and Guac , the guac was excellent and we brought leftover home. Reservation recommended, small intimate place, easy parking. Server was great, provided some feedback, was engaged & polite. We enjoyed &will be back:) Our spicy & traditional lime margueritas were tasty as well in fact we had two each. Too cap off a great dinner we shared the Flan and it was very good, in fact this made me edit my review to 5 stars, as i forgot. Good food and times does cost but we enjoyed it very much. Thanks Sabor! Parking: Find it on St Johns

I have lunch here probably once a week because it s soooooo good. I pretty much only get the chicken taco salad. It s super delicious and so much flavour. On a rainy day I ll get the chicken soup. There s nothing else around that serves soup and it completely hits the spot. Came here for dinner recently and had the enchiladas and ceviche which were super tasty. Margaritas are great too. The stay are super friendly and the owner really takes pride and makes everyone feel welcome and happy.

The best hole in the wall in Port Moody! We live nearby and have seen this location change faces many times over the last few years, so we were so excited to try out Sabor A Mexico. Let me tell you, it did not disappoint! We had Sams margaritas, which were delicious grapefruit margaritas on the rocks. Having just been to Mexico in January, this was honestly better than most of the drinks we had while there! The chips and salsa were so fresh and full of flavour. The chicken burrito was stuffed FULL of tender chicken, and the tortillas were so soft. And finally, the staff made the whole experience above and beyond. They treat you like family, and the atmosphere and service are what is definitely going to have us coming back often. Cannot recommend enough - a true stand out as possibly the best restaurant in Port Moody!

The food is amazing. You can really tell its authentic, although a little bit on the pricey side. Amazing service too. The only negative from our experience was that the main course, a dish weve never had before, tasted like peanuts. My boyfriend has a peanut allergy, but there was no indication that this dish contained peanuts on the menu and we were never asked upon ordering. We confirmed that the dish did in fact contain peanuts (the chicken mole for anyone curious). We understand that its also our fault for not bringing up the allergy before, but its also important that the menu is as clear as possible for everyone to have a great experience. We loved what we had before the main course and we will definitely be coming back.

Read about peoples positive experiences at this new restaurant, so went to check it out for lunch. There was some construction out front, but parking was easy. The decor is nice, and reading other peoples reviews, it looks like theyve responded by adding some cushions to the wooden benches to make it more comfortable. Service was friendly and quick. The brunch menu was available. Had the Enchiladas de Pollo and Guacamole & Chips with a side of Pico de Gallo for 2 people with a plan to order the Tortilla Soup if it wasnt enough. The chips were fresh, seemed homemade with a sprinkle of salt. Both the pico de gallo and guacamole were fresh with good colour and flavour, but my favourite was a jalapeno sauce that they brought out that had a nice punch of heat and was flavourful. The Enchiladas were tasty, and came with a side of rice, beans, and we were asked to choose between green or red sauce (or both). I feel that it could have come with a spoon for the sauce, or better yet have them in separate containers as everything melded together. Although the taste was good, I didnt find that any of the flavours popped. The amount was enough for 2 people, and we didnt need to order the backup Tortilla Soup. The prices are a little high, but is on par with what weve seen restaurant pricing do recently with the cost of everything going up.

I have only good things to say about the restaurant. Most authentic mexican food there is in GVA! The tacos were amazing! Rajas (roasted pepper) and carnitas (pulled pork) are our absolute favs! Rajas go well with the creamy cheese and the carnitas are crunchy and flavorful. It s our third visit here and they have never once disappointed. The tortas were incredible. Crunchy and herby buns. The taste and texture of the sauce and the carnitas were perfectly balanced. Servers are really friendly and check on us from time to time to refill water etc. The atomsophere is really relaxing!

One of the best dining experiences Ive ever had, the friendly service, warm and inviting atmosphere and incredibly flavourful and authentic food made us feel like we were in the owners dining room at their home. Margaritas, Mole and Tacos were on a level that even impressed my girlfriend who is a skilled and talented chef herself. If you havent been before, call ahead and reserve a table as there are just 15 or so available. This is the type of establishment that I would drive 45 minutes each way for, which I would rarely do, and I love food! Thank you to the owners and their family members for being a special part of the Port Moody and Lower Mainland!

I found this restaurant after searching at Google. Its a small place, but the cute interior makes it cozy. The food is really delicious and the staff are really friendly. It was a bit disappointing that the amount of food was small compared to the price. Also,one more thing was that the season was winter, so the wooden bench was very cold and hard, and the area near the window was a bit cold. It would be nice to have a cushion to sit on on the wooden bench. These are why I cannot give 5 stars.
