Some of the best asada I’ve ever had (and Ive had over 40 different taco places). Al pastor was above average. I enjoyed the cheese skirts on the tacos mexica. The zucchini flower was good. And the al pastor huarache was good. It was also nice that we got chips and salsa for free with our to go order. The salsa and chips are def better than average too. Wife and I agreed. Also, def better than Huarache Moroleon, which we literally had yesterday. Literally everything was better unless you are looking to drink and get Mexican, because then you can only drink at Moroleon

It's a travesty this place is rated so highly when there is much better Mexican offered in CU. I ain't out here for overpriced lettuce burritos

El Sabor Auténtico—where the aroma of spices dances, and the sizzle of fajitas serenades hungry souls. Let me paint a picture of our weekly pilgrimage to this flavorful haven.? Familia Traditions: For years, our family has gathered around the table, eyes alight with anticipation. The menu unfolds like a cherished storybook. We order with the ease of old friends—enchiladas, tacos, and chimichangas. Predictable? Yes, but oh, the comfort lies in that predictability.? Speed of Flavor: El Sabor Auténtico knows our hunger is urgent. The kitchen whirls like a tempest, and before we can say “¡hola!”, our plates arrive. The tortillas cradle memories—the crunch of churros, the warmth of tamales. Predictable? Absolutely. But in that speed, we taste the heartbeat of Mexico.? Quality Assurance: Each bite is a promise kept. The guacamole sings of ripe avocados, the salsa dances with fire, and the carne asada—oh, the carne asada—is a love letter to taste buds. Predictable? You bet. But when the first forkful melts, we know: this is our weekly fiesta.So here’s to you, El Sabor Auténtico. You’re not just a restaurant; you’re a time machine, transporting us to sun-kissed plazas, mariachi melodies, and abuelita’s kitchen. May your tortillas stay golden, your margaritas stay frosty, and your flavors remain predictably extraordinary. ?️??
Parking: Tiny lot, places available around the joint, but unless u wants risk getting ticketed or yelled at or preferring your ethics about parking where y people tell you don’t with threats of towing and if your senses are dull to ethics better mind the cars and trucks you’ll likely decide to use for a real life , seemingly easy real human life version of that game on the phone you try to cross four lanes of traffic
Received wrong order after the sales person had confirmed they had made a chicken burrito instead of the steak burrito. Got home only to be dissapointed that the burrito was wrong even after they had confirmed and it's not like they were super busy to get the order correctly the 1st time! If you buy there verify your food is correct before leaving.

Few seats available so most people do takeouts. Great food. Horrible service. Don’t even want to talk about it.

I don’t understand how this place gets good reviews. The taco are really average. Meat is very dry. I didn’t even get salsa. There are way better tacos I have had at some food trucks. They charge 7 dollars for a side guacamole which is a super tiny portion! So I spent over 16 dollars for 2 tacos!! That’s a rip off!

Beef Taco is whopping $4.50 each, and it actually tasted worse than most taco truck/restaurant(s) (costs $2.50-3 each). I would position here as medium in taste among all Mexical restaurants in Urbana/Champaign. I would only go here in pinch, as the service was extremely fast.
