" If you're in the market for authentic chicharrones and carnitas, you can't find a better spot than El Sabroso. The quality speaks for itself, reminding me so much of my family's recipes. Cash transactions and self-serving made the experience unique. I brought home a good amount to share, and it was all devoured quickly! You definitely get your money's worth here! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was really looking forward to visiting El Sabroso, especially after hearing rave reviews about their chicharrones. I have to say, they did not disappoint! Being able to self-serve was a unique touch and allowed for a great variety of selections. However, the service could be improved; I found the staff to be a little curt when they seemed busy. The food is worth it, though! " (*Curated Review*)

" El Sabroso is delightful! I’ve been here so many times, and the chicharrones always impress. It’s a hidden gem where the focus is squarely on the quality of food. It's a cash-only spot which is a bit old school, but I think it adds to its charm. My only worry is that it can be a little cramped when busy, but the flavors make it worthwhile. Love this place! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was eager to try El Sabroso due to all the positive reviews. Unfortunately, my experience did not reflect the same enthusiasm. The chicharrones were just average, and the service was a bit disinterested. The layout of the place isn’t very appealing, though the pricing is fair. Overall, it did not live up to my expectations, and I might explore other eateries next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I've been a long-time customer of El Sabroso and every visit feels like home! The staff always knows my order, and the friendly service keeps me coming back. The chicharrones are ridiculously good - I can never get enough! The atmosphere is laid back, ideal for grabbing some quick yet fulfilling food. Just remember, cash only! " (*Curated Review*)

" Honestly, my experience at El Sabroso was not great. The chicharrones I had were overly greasy, leaving a lot to be desired. The ambiance left me feeling uncomfortable and the service wasn’t very welcoming. I went there with high expectations based on reviews but was disappointed. It’s difficult to recommend this place when there are better options nearby. " (*Curated Review*)

" After many recommendations, I decided to try El Sabroso. The chicharrones had a great crunch, but I wasn't as impressed with the carnitas. The portions are fantastic for the price and getting to serve yourself is a fun experience! I believe they can improve the quality of meat; perhaps they had an off day when I visited. Nonetheless, I'd be willing to try it once more! " (*Curated Review*)
