| - A couple of colleagues and I decided to meet up for a casual dinner at Sabor Latin Street Grill. Back then, there was a ton of trolley construction, so parking and stuff could be a little difficult. Not sure if that is still the case.
Anyway, the place was PACKED. Know why? Because it was Taco Tuesday! I had no idea about the $1 taco specials here until I showed up at a packed house on Taco Tuesday. Seems like a pretty darn good deal for dinner if you ask me. I didn't choose to get any of the $1 tacos since I wanted some other "speciality" ones.
There is no waitstaff at this restaurant - you pick up your food and find a place to sit. Theres a decent number of tables and booths available, but you may have to wait/stalk a table when its busy.
We got a side of guacamole which was very fairly priced and came with unlimited chips. Fresh, well made guacamole that probably could have used a teeeeeny more salt, but whatever.
I got all my tacos "Autenticos" - cilantro (YUM), diced onion, and a lime wedge - just the way i like it. I got the grilled steak and al pastor tacos, which were not part of the deal. They were well seasoned and the meat was tender, but I wouldn't call this super *authentic* tacos. Probably the best you can find in Charlotte, but I've had better tacos elsewhere. The good thing about Sabor is that they have a crazy amount of different salsas and hot sauces you can put on your taco that definitely spruce it up.
I got an elote (grilled corn) as well and I wasn't a huge fan. I'm spoiled by the delcious elote back in NYC.
I also recommend getting a Jarrito. I always get a tamarind Jarrito at every taco place I go to for some reason. Yum sugar.
