Hands down my favorite Spanish food spot, The small is a perfect lunch portion. There is always lots to choose from and you NEED to get the homemade hot sauce on the side.

So absolutely delicious. I used to get take out for lunch when I worked across the street. I retired and haven't been here in a few years. I will be going more often because....delicious.

One of the best spots to go to for Official Spanish food in Rochester, majority of the time their packed so you to have to get in and get out I wished they had better parking

A bit of a dive appearance complete with bars on the windows. Thus you know the food is good. I made mistake of ordering the large as it is large and stuffed my bottomless pit of a stomach with deliciousness. Unfortunately they used to have ox tail and can't order it anymore. I have been since ordering stewed chicken or pork medium size platter.

What can I say! This is my favorite spot close to home. The food is delicious, affordable, and so easy to grab and go. They are fully operating with good covid standards. Friendly customer service. My only complaint, parking. Its tough in that spot, it's little and everyone parks every where. Other than that though I love coming here. Buen Provecho!

Yum, I favored the stewed chicken over the pork but both were very flavorful. They ask if you want skin and of course you do cause it's full of flavor. The plantain is a solid addition, get it. The beans are separate from the rice and have mild seasoning. The folks behind the counter were friendly and happily answered any questions. It's a super quick in and out stop for a good container full of food.

Oh man. I've been trying to come here for weeks but haven't had time since I usually have school and work during their hours. I walked in during lunchtime, and there was quite the line. It passed quickly though. We each ordered a large pork chop dinner and were told that it would take 20 minutes (because pork chops are made to order), but they came in about 5 minutes. When I say the sight of the food made me salivate..... I felt like one of Pavlov's dogs. The smell alone is enough to make you feel like you're in the middle of the Dominican Republic. The dinner comes with a large helping of rice and beans, some salad, and fried pork chops. The rice and beans were moist, rich, and flavorful. Salad was pretty standard--goes well with the richness of everything else. The pork chops were crispy on the outside but very soft and tender on the inside, and easy to pull apart. A tad bit heavy on the pepper, but still very flavorful and enjoyable. They were topped with picked red onions. Absolutely delectable. We got 2 large pork chop dinners, 2 empanadas, a side of plantains and drinks, all for $27. You cannot beat that. Will be coming back.... often.

Friends told me this place was amazing. They were right. After pulling up to El Sabor de la Isla in a box truck(which I don't recommend do to limited parking), as I entered the building I was smacked upside the face with an aroma that guaranteed me I made a good decision. I ordered a medium meal with rice and beans and pork chops. Everything was packed full of flavor and heaping in my dish. All of that food for about 7.50. If you go to any fast food place over this hidden gem and spend as much you're crazy. I added on a pineapple soda at the recommendation of said friends and as they said it completely sealed the deal on a good life choice. If you're a hipster this place is Gucci. I've heard that's what you people say. Next time you're in the neighborhood try it out, you won't be disappointed.

Really good Dominican food. Served Cafeteria style. If you are in the area, get some! My favorite is their beef stew, but the other stews are all great. My least favorite would be their roast pork, but it's still good, just not as good as the beef stew.

I don't like boring food because, well, it's Sabor. But I found this spectacular, amazing Latin Caribbean place in an area that most rich suburban folk dare not tread. I was over the proverbial moon. I had to enjoy every bite. Sabor the moment. In my mind I said thanks to Allah, Buddha, Shiva, and to our lord and Sabor Jesus Cristo. Truly one of the best - and best value - places to eat anywhere. If anyone tells you that it's not, they're merely trying to Sabor-tage your enjoyment of the food here. What to get: Pork Chops over rice for $5, extra juicy. What else: Everything is delicious. What else: Madonna loves this place. That's why she did a song titled "El Sabor De La Isla Bone Eater." Anything else: Yeah I can't believe Madonna eats bones. What if they damage her vocal cords. It might improve her singing: You think? What if it makes it worse? Is that even possible: Oh... yes you make a good point. The defence rests. (Much apologies to Madonna fans, just kidding. Go Madge go.) While you'll have to dissect the pork chop "Like a Surgeon" since it's on the bone, I was glad it didn't taste like fish. i.e. not at all "Like A Sturgeon." The bird I fed outside looked "Like A Pigeon." A portly pigeon. Definitely not "fed for the very first time." This was one of the last Dominican & Puerto Rican places in town that I tried. I already love Pilon Criollo, El Latino, and my fave: shredded chicken at Cocina Latina (Coc in a Latina). However El Sabor tops *all* of them by a *distance* yo. If you put pix of this all over the internet like I did, then it's "El Sabor De La Instagram." Service: Well the girls are kinda moody. They close early and have attitude. The young guy on the other hand, who is maybe 15, is an angel. Not a VS Angel (unfortunately) but such a sweetheart. So helpful and friendly and gives me bigger portions than he should. I love when it's bigger than you expect, don't you? If it turns out the kid is not just siblings with his sister but also married to her - or if you read my previous review for Uncle Gussy's - then it becomes "El Sabor De La Incest." The price is *amazing*. Under $6 for a small portion of anything, which by the way - will fill you right the f*** up. The small here is pretty damn large. Sort of like p**ises in my family. Which by now you probably have photographic evidence of. Especially my Uncle's. But that's for a different review. An earlier review. (Shudders). In the summer there are a lot of flies here. I call it "El Sabor De La Insects." However insects, price, service be damned, this is about the food. Some of the best Latin meat you will ever put in your mouth. The Pernil is good. It's even great if you're in the mood. But it's not the star. Neither is the Res De Guisado which is flavourful hot filling beef stew, absolutely delicious. But not the star. If you're coming here as a way of Peruvian how fearless you are, and your next stops are Cuzco and Macchu Picchu, then it's "El Sabor De La Incas." The star of the show here is the Pork Chop. It's unlike any other pork chop you've ever had. Heavily spiced, deeply marinaded, dripping drenched juicy steaming falling-off-the-bone pork-chop-heaven with so many spices and tastes going on that Guy Fieri would give up Triple-D forever if he tried it (and on that note, let's get him in here to try it). I forgot that I was in a low income area and that I was the only white person for miles (although I am only half white, and only half of the time). You'll forget that you were offered narcotics on the street corner as you entered. You'll forget that there are bars on the windows. You'll forget everything. Including your way home, so I hope you like the nabe because you're stuck here. If you're the only person in this place that has no tats (like I was), then it's "El Sabor De La Inkless." Seriously though - get this pork chop dinner! Nom it! Devour it! Huge wet pork chop over delicious flavourful rice and it's only 5-ish dollarenos. Unbelievable. Other dishes are great too but this one rules. I have a few more to try and will report back on them when I do. If you make a baby in the alley behind this place (I wouldn't recommend it, it's pretty dirty, but then maybe you are too), it's called "El Sabor De La Insemination." They don't sell cakes, but if they did, I bet they'd have a lot of frosting on them and you'd be able to "Savor the Icing." However what they do have, is probably the best tasting pork chop dinner I've ever eaten. And the cheapest. And by the way a shout out to the young kid I mentioned earlier, because when I asked him what the best dish was, he sent me straight to the pork chop. And by Jorge, he was right. If he has a sister, then damn, I hope she's single, because like Bruno Mars once said, I think I wanna Maria. Now I'm looking for something dumb to do. Anyone wanna see my Pork Chop? I promise to make it even more drenched in sauce than El Sabor De La Isla do.
