Sabor Latino - Brandon

The food here is fantastic, and the best part is that almost the entire menu is gluten-free.

We lived for 2 years in Mexico, have been back several times, spent quite a bit of time in Costa Rica and have made short trips to Nicaragua and Guatemala, and we have many good Latino restaurants in the city of 2.5 million we come from. And I've been in the restaurant business. Going by the paucity of customers (well, it was a Monday night, which may partially explain), I'm afraid Brandon may not realize what a little gem they have in this restaurant. The décor is minimalist modern with Latino decorative objects. The service is attentive, friendly but professional. But it's the food to come for. From the basic tortilla chips with fresh inhouse made (everything is) salsa and guacamole to the deliciously rich chicken tortilla soup to the very flavourful empanadas, papusas and tacos, we have rarely had better. The extensive use of cornmeal in Latino cuisine, albeit authentic, often does not appeal to Americans and Canadians because it is made heavy and earthy, but here the execution is light and flavourful. Wheat flour tacos and tortillas are never so good as cornmeal done right. Even the desserts were light and very satisfying. Dinner for 2 with 2 margueritas was just over $50 excluding tip. Great value.

Just got done eating here & I ate like A king for under $35 & had lots of leftovers. I tried a bunch of things here like the Ajiaca Soup (Columbian Potato Soup) it was delicious lots of chicken with 3 different varieties of potatoes in it. The  cheese arepa rellena which are cheese & chicken stuffed tortillas the have a pancake like texture topped with melted cheese & comes with salsa. For my main I got the pollo marinado is a chicken leg marinated in latin spices & cooked well seasonings were good & came with 5 sides 3 different types of potatoes dishes a salad & latin rice. I also tried the Lemonade de panela which taste like a mixture of ice tea & lemonade.  I really enjoyed this place & will definitely be back here next time I am in town.

Decided to check out Sabor Latino on recommendation from a friend while in town from Vancouver and wasn't disappointed. The decor is simple, but the staff are extremely friendly, and our food was delicious. Loved the chicken tortilla soup, the chicken tamales and the pork, cheese and bean papusas. I hope the community supports this little gem so I can return during my next visit!

We stopped in Brandon for supper and came across this restaurant when we searched for a place where to eat on TripAdvisor. We had the ribs platter and two orders of papossas. The service was terrific and the food was really good. Will definitely make this a stop when we are driving through again.
