Sabor Latino — Photo Tour

Sabor Latino is back, under new and enthusiastic ownership -- and we reviewed them in the September issue of Current.  Check our review out at ecurrent.com. Below, we have photos of some of the dishes we tried.  (As always, click on the photos for larger and tastier versions.)

Sopes with pork al pastor — crispy corn rounds, a bit thicker than a tortilla, with beans, cheese, and guacamole

Argentinian empanadas with chimichurri sauce — a standout appetizer

Alcapurria — plantain fritter, stuffed with pork and a favorite of ours (we eat it with salsa or chimichurri instead of the supplied sour cream, though)

Queso dip — a blend of three cheeses with tomato and pepper

Ropa Vieja — shredded beef, served with rice, beans, and plantains

Masitas de puerco — chunks of pork, with black beans and potatoes

Camarones a la Diabla — shrimp in a somewhat spicy sweet red sauce

Arroz con Pato — not a dish you see often; this dish combines tasty roasted duck with rice and a vegetable side that was way better than it looks

An assortment of tacos

A pupusa, from the yet-undocumented-by-us brunch menu

A flight of desserts arrives at our table.  Clockwise from rear:  sweet Amazon plantain (fried plantains with cajeta!), flan, pastel de tres leches, fried ice cream

 

The Spicy Latino — a shot of Espresso Colombiano with cinnamon and maybe other spices

Hmmm... my comment didn't show up. Well, anyway, loved the photos here and the review in e-current.

We didn't like our alcapurria - it was pretty much way over done. We absolutely loved the pastelillo, though. I'm now dying to try some of the specials and the fish Veracruz

My husband took me there. The table salsa was almost like sauce, but when we asked for the hot salsa thats when the topnotch stuff came out, it was delish!
The staff was super! Nice and helpful.
