The tapas truly were endless at weekend brunch, one better than the last and some—arepitas and croquetas — were so delicious we ordered them twice. Espinachas with apple, raisins and walnuts was fabulous, the best I’ve ever had. The remarkable thing is that many brunch dishes are not on the regular menu. You could dine often at Sabores and never duplicate a flavor. I urge you to go often and taste the whole menu. I’ve never had a bad bite at Sabores, just delicious morsels served by a warm and friendly staff. It’s my favorite place!

This was my second evening at Sabores, and it's been a consistently high quality experience! The food is flavorful and the portions are a good size foe the cost. We've been able to have a wonderful night out with a ton of variety without breaking the bank.

We very much enjoyed our dinner at Sabores. We ordered 10 different dishes and throughly enjoyed each one (although the chicken was too salty)! Service was prompt and friendly. And having validated perking is a welcome bonus!

Amazing experience! Wonderful tapas, amazing cocktails, and authentic Spanish and Brazilian food. Would highly recommend to anyone who loves good food, great atmosphere, excellent service, and without breaking the bank! Very reasonable prices and our server and manager even assembled the birthday cake for us. There was a sign and candles and everything was placed and presented perfectly. We will definitely be back! :-)
