Came in on Taco Tuesday today, it was fairly busy. We had a 30 or so minute wait to get seated. Which is okay given the date and it being during dinner service. My only issue with the seating was that there were visibly tables open and and no one was seating us nor the party in front of us. Once we were seated it took another 10-15 minutes to see our waiter, which was a little excessive I felt. We put our drinks and food order in all at once to get it out of the way. The table behind us that was seated after us got their food and drinks before us. Which is always a little annoying as a diner. Another downside is that you get one basket of chips and salsa for the table to share, and if you want more it is an extra cost. With that being said, I ordered almost one of everything on the menu as far as dollar tacos goes. All of the tacos were actually pretty tasty. They come with varied toppings based on what type of shell you get. But, you can also add extra toppings for an additional cost. Which is cool, because most places are a set taco and style. Once the food came, we ate, the check followed it was all downhill then. The restaurant was clean, staff was kind, just a little slow...but the food was worth the wait. I rated it a 3/5 and my friend gave it a 4.... so we gave Sabor Latino the benefit of the doubt on Yelp! With a 4/5. Best combo- Soft shell fish taco with tomatoes and grilled jalapenos, or pastor/carnitas with pinto beans and pickled jalapenos.

Before i even get inside, I'm stopped by a loose hanging wire in the doorway. I enter and am greeted with a pithy hello and an eye roll. Within 5 minutes of being in here I saw at least 5 health code violations. An employee sucked down a taco that had been sitting behind the bar for who knows how long then went behind the bar, licked all his fingers, and grabbed a glass from the stack of cups. The lime in my carona had less life than the dim orange lighting on the peeling yellow-green walls. I order a single taco fearfully. I overhear a waitress remark "I make people the wrong drinks all the time, they love it"; Later from someone who looked like a supervisor "last night when we were smoking weed out back..." the free chips are slightly tale, the salsa forgettable, the taco arrives in a reasonable time, sitting alone on a small white plate, it actually was not bad. But the attitude of this place did not inspire confident eating. After paying my check with literally no eye contact from the bartender I left quickly.

Ive been to Sabor Latino and have always had great food & a enjoyable dining experience. However, today our group of (9) had the worst dining experience ever!! Our server took (10) minutes to bring our water, stood at one end of the table & shouted to the other end to take orders, told us to hand out the plates to each other, brought out 1-1/2 baskets of chips and (1) small salsa. After that, we kept asking for more salsa and water (never did get it). We were never offered any more water, our appetizers took forever. Finally we asked to speak with the manager and he said hed discount our food. Finally after 50 minutes, we received our food and some more chips and salsa and a pitcher of water. My chicken was tough, my sons steak was chewy and red (he ordered well done), the rice was lukewarm, we had to ask for the plantains that were part of my meal. The bill came, no discount as the manager promised and they had the gall to add an 18% gratuity. Needless to say they lost some loyal patrons for ever!

The food isnt bad, in fact its usually pretty tasty. However, the service is slow and consistently makes mistakes. Also, the cleanliness of the restaurant is sometimes sub-par. It gets busy on Tuesdays because they offer $1 tacos, so I understand some sort of wait time. Its always been a little slow, but the last few weeks has been awful and filled with wrong orders and missing waiters. There needs to be a better system for getting the food out more quickly (and correctly) to the customers especially when you basically only serve one dish on a specific day. It shouldnt take 15 minutes to get what you ordered originally. Another note, the tables need to be cleaned much better than they have been. The "gunk" on the table one could scrap off with a knife a few weeks ago was disgusting. As much as I love the $1 tacos, I dont think I can deal with the poor service. I normally give a lot of room for understanding but after so many times being unhappy after eating here, its not worth it.

This place deserves some props for having an amazing tequila selection. So go for the bar. However, theres something to be said about the food and service. I tried the tacos there and found that they lacked a level of refinement that Ann Arbor-rites are typically used to. The tortillas felt a little dry and the dressing on the tacos al pastor seemed a little off. I would definitely go there for the tequilas again, but, unless theres an improvement in the quality of food and service provided by wait staff, Ill look for another dinner place.

Clean, but thats about all they have going for them. Not family friendly - no kids menu (but they have crayons and activity sheets) and food is not appealing to kids at all. Kids size sodas are smaller than adults but cost the same - and glasses are only filled half way! Menu is limited and the food is very bland and unremarkable. Not good value for the price. Service was very mediocre - customers should never have to ask for refills, especially when its not super busy. Wish I could take this experience back.

An okay or below place. Unfortunately service has been consistently slow and its not the fault of the server as much as management. Food just average and very inconsistent. I went to Taco Tuesday and they were the worst. Apparently the cook is in Mexico and the new guy just slap a small amount of some stuff into a cheap tortilla. Unable to have fast ticket times for lunches- consistently slow. Hopefully they will get better in the future. Ill try them again in a couple months. The pop and water was good LOL

Very underwhelming. The menu sounded unique, but the food was very bland and tasted like it had been sitting for a while. Service was incredibly slow and our server, James, lacked a personality. I do feel bad for James, as he was clearly the only person serving during the lunch hours, but it was nowhere near busy enough to warrant both subpar service and below mediocre food. Very disappointed and will not return.

Definitely below my expectations...just a typical shitty Mexican restaurant. From the website i expected better. There was only 2 customers (including myself) and somehow everything took forever. I didnt get my drink until our main dish. Waitstaff was boring, and unprofessional. Some dude at one of their tables outside behind us (homeless?) Was playing his piano and it was really unpleasantly annoying.

We came for Taco Tuesday. All the meat was entirely unseasoned and bland. The corn tortillas looked and tasted store bought. I dont expect much from $1 tacos but this didnt even meet those low expectations. The salsa had zero flavour to it and even the margaritas were extremely weak. They renamed it Agave and gave it a new look, but neglected to make the food taste any good.
