This place is perfect for breakfast and lunch. I’ve eaten here several times and it never fails to satisfy me above and beyond. Karen is a gracious hostess. She could answer all of our questions and also recommended a few dishes to try next time. Happy Hour 11a-4p $5 mimosas were perfect. I recommend the Bulgogi and rice and the curry chicken. I’ve had the menudo which is pretty good as well. Very healthy proportions! I’ll be back

3-10-24First time there and not coming back,BEANS were definitely not good, acidic taste lime like, gentleman in the cashier admitted somebody else complained this morning about them and they continued to serve them. When refried beans go bad they taste like lemon... google it! We left every single plate except my daughters French toast that she liked, birria plate had too much seasoning. Chilaquiles had a different and strong after taste, our Michelada was sweet and not so spicy, again not very Mexican like.We paid full price and even left a 15% tip.Service was good and kind.Chips & salsa were the best by far.For a Mexican style restaurant it's a hard pass from now on and I wouldn't recommend to anyone who knows good food.HOPING NOT TO GET FOOD POISONING

So we came on our last day before we left back home. We met up with our family members. The staff was really nice and brought our food nice and fresh plus they accommodated for my active daughter ??Thank you!

This past Sunday was my first time trying this place, it was recommended by a family member. To straight off its a cute spot, clean and tv's all around. The place gives a comfy vibe. I ordered the Sabino French Toast and was not disappointed! Our food did take a little bit long but it was busy and I think they were short staffed so It was understandable. When the food came it was a nice portion and very delicious. My son says he has tried the menudo and it was very good. Definitely will be back again!

The food was outstanding, I ordered menudo and it was exactly what I needed on this cold January day. The customer service was outstanding as well. They made me and my friend feel very comfortable and at home, were attentive and kind. Will definitely be returning.

My friend and I were struggling to find a place to brunch on Christmas Eve when we came across Sabino Kitchen, a Mexican and Asian fusion restaurant. Located in the backside of a strip mall, the mom and pop shop can be easy to miss. Anyways, we were fortunate that Sabino Kitchen was open Christmas weekend, so we took a chance. And while service could have certainly been friendlier, I did enjoy the cozy and quaint atmosphere. After perusing the menu, I ordered the curry mazesoba while my friend ordered the birria ramen. The curry mazesoba was flavorful, and though the chicken was tougher than I prefer, overall the dish was notable. Admittedly, I've had better curry noodles elsewhere, but the version here wasn't so bad.******************My Ratings:1 Star: Terrible; just thinking about it makes me angry.2 Stars: Wasn't a fan so Not likely to return.3 Stars: Meh. Average. Might return if others drag me.4 Stars: Yum! Likely to return.5 Stars: Amazing! Would plan my day around it.

A little hard to find if you're not from the area, guess you can say this is a hidden gem! Same parking lot as Panera, just on the other side of the lot.Food: Think fusion food between Asian cuisine (indonesian/thai) and Latin American. Not your average Bulgogi taco! This spot specializes in things that may seem new to you, but do not be afraid to ask for recommendations. Chilaquiles were great, very flavorful. Wasn't dry at all, just the way I like it. I also got a chicken leg dish with rice and cucumbers. Very unique flavors! Would order again.Service: Server and (I believe may have been one of the owners) were incredibly friendly and helpful for our first time. Food came out quickly and orderly too.We will definitely be back to bring more friends and even recommend this spot to more locals!

Hello, went to sabino kitchen on a weekend, we were assisted pretty quickly, it's open to choose your seating that you want to choose, your preference.For Menus, you have to scan, my family had trouble scanning and finding the link due to bad service. They do have tiny menus though. In my opinion I think that the owners should invest in physical menus for people to look at the many great food options they have. We ordered 5 minutes into sitting. It took about 10-15 minutes for the food to arrive which is a really good reasonable time in my opinion. (4 meals)My father had ordered the birria chilaquiles, it had the red sauce but no meat, I had to wait 5 minutes for a server to come to question where the meat was on his dish. Server immediately assisted and gave asap. We also got green chilaquiles, great taste good amount of serving in each dish. Also got menudo, average serving. I got a chicken and waffles, im a person who gets full pretty fast so I finish a good portion and was satisfied with my meal. I wish they can add a little more fruit to the chicken and waffles though.Food was definitely presentable, the ambience of the place is definitely unique, has a very modern style with a kick of Mexican/asian culture. I was super to see different types of food varying culture sides. Indian/Mexican.Would I come here again? Yes

Other restaurants wish their birria tasted this good. Everything from the micheladas to the chilequiles I'll be coming back here for sure.

I had such high hopes for this spot but I was extremely disappointed. I think they must pay Yelp and IG for advertising because they do a good job at it but they have some work to do when it come to running this place. I came in with a friend on a Sunday afternoon and surprisingly it was empty, so it was so annoying to have to wait 30 mins for someone to take our order and another 45 for it to arrive. The food itself was not bad but the service was terrible. I won't even mention the pricing somehow for two people that ordered one entry came out to over $100.00. They said because they charged for the entire champagne bottle that filled one glass but forgot to mention that was going to be extra. I didn't ask for a large glass I would have fine with the regular glass.

Cute little place! Nicely decorated, the workers are nice. The servers are really attentive but once the food came out they kind of disappeared. The food was GOOD. Very aesthetically pleasing but with good flavor!

The best bowl of soup I ever had. Birria ramen was amazing. I didn't know what to expect by fusion and was completely blown away by it. Very nice restaurant and friendly staff. Highly

Hidden gem! We have been twice and we will be coming back more, trust me, you won't regret it! We've come for brunch and lunch. Ordered the bulgolgi bowl and birria - SO TASTY!!! We were shocked... Korean and Mexican food, night and day with spices and flavors, and they nailed BOTH! Chef, you got some skills. For brunch, we ordered chilaquiles red/green sauce, waffle special, and pancake classic. The pancakes were fluffy and not rubbery, the waffle was crispy on the outside yet still moist inside! The sauce for the chilaquiles was delish and so were the side of beans. They need a larger social media presence and definitely more advertisement, because they are AMAZING! Happy Hour looks good with reasonable prices. We will be coming for that next!
