El Sabroso Mexican grill & seafood(OPEN)

Stop to get gas and grab a bit. I watch as a woman walked around the counter, no gloves pick up a pieces of chicken grilling and then proceeded to stir the pot with black beans take a few out squish them and throw them back in the pot. Grossed me out. Left without ordering. Your in the food industry wear gloves

Food was underwhelming. Also, they charged me $6.89 per shrimp taco. So almost $14 for two. Even after she checked the price. That is ridiculous. One burrito and two small tacos were $30. No thanks.

Search no further if you are looking for amazing Nachos!!!! I read another review on the nachos, so we came in to share some, and we were NOT disappointed! Phenomenal! Deliecious! I am sooooooo glad it showed up on my search! The chips are freshly fried even, and the cheese melts evenly!!!!

Cinnabon, subway and el Sabroso are all inside the same building with a common entrance contrary to what photos make it look like. Delicious & fresh make your own as you go style food with common food court seating. Highly recommend the Al pastor quesadilla!

If you’re tired of all the other truck stop food options I definitely recommend this place although it’s a little pricey but definitely worth it, enjoy 😋

El Sabroso at Lassen Ave, Avenal, CA is a hidden gem for authentic Mexican food! The highlight for me was the freshly fried chips—they’re crispy, flavorful, and absolutely delicious, making them the perfect snack or side. I ordered the veggie burrito bowl with guacamole and chips, and everything tasted fresh and well-seasoned.

The staff is lovely and welcoming, creating a warm and friendly atmosphere. One thing to note: be careful navigating the sharp curves on your way there!

Overall, this spot is a must-visit for anyone craving great Mexican food with fantastic service. Highly recommend!

Decent food. It had good flavor and the food was prepared quickly. It reminded me of a Chipotle. My only complaint was that the beans weren't warm enough in my torta de carnitas. For a quick bite as you travel across the state this place will do the trick since it's inside a travel center! Nothing fancy just plain good Mexican food. Will definitely stop here again,

The food is tasty however their cleanliness is questionable. The woman serving the food will grab food with her hand with the same gloves she just grabbed everything else. She went to change out the onion and grilled peppers and instead of using a spoon she grabs it in a hand full. And she just has finished grilling something on the grill with the same gloves. Cross contamination is at a high at this place and unsanitary food service.
