Tried Mexican food for first time❤
Mexican options in the city are limited to Chili's or TGIF, both, very American versions of the cuisine. Get ready for an authentic Mexican treat at El Sabor, as the place promises you real flavours, fresh preparations and exquisite cocktails.
We started with Shrimp cocktail - fresh salsa, chopped tomatoes, onions, diced up shrimps, in the sweet and spicy mixture, finished with whole shrimps, really loved the punch and freshness.
Next up - choriqueso, homemade tortilla chips, with liquid cheese and minced meat, sort of like deconstructed nachos, I absolutely loved the idea! No more soggy tortilla chips :P
Also indulged in some authentic tacos and burrito! Don't expect a tonne of sour cream, but try some of Chef's fresh and authentic sauces.
You must try the salt-rimmed classic Margaritas and the signature El Baliente topped with Corona!
I liked the place for its authentic Mexican menu and the food which has been specially curated by chef Tony who is running a restaurant of the same lineage successfully in Al bahama
CHEF has tried t keep the flavours as close to authentic as possible making all the condiments and bread in house.... Sourcing best of maize flour and the peppers from the I dian marhet or importing what ever is possible.
So I liked how he quickly did up a vegetarian version of tacos and flauta for me with beautiful crusty flautas and the soft tacos served with a range of dips and salsas....
Great choice of cocktails.....
A perfect ola e of u like Mexican or if u wanna try it out as then u might make it ur preferred cuisine.
This mexican place is an amazing place located in sector 29. The ambience is magnificent. Loved the way colour contrasts have been used. They have a variety of items to order from and I tried quite some in my first time there.
Margarita is the best drink to have there. What a great taste. Totally refreshing.
For the food, there's Mexican Taxo which will give you the proper feeling of Mexican food. Nachos was also prepared well and accompanied my Margarita.
But nothing can beat dal makhani and butter chicken. Served with some breads, they both were heavenly. The gravy was just outstanding. Chicken was tender and juicy. Dal was quite creamy just the way I like it. I definitely loved everything about this place and would definitely come back to make some more memories and devour over more of their scrumptious food.
Cucumber Fizz and Choque Mary drinks were awesome. Fajita was great and for soya lovers mock meat Empanadas are a must try

If you love the flavors of Mexico and feel having Indian food is quintessential when going out, El Sabor is for you.
El Sabor is a distinctive Latin American restaurant, in the already packed Sector 29, while it doesn’t have a microbrewery, its cocktail menu is quite strong and with heritage inspired dishes discovered from travels to Mexico, South America, Central America and Spain, El Sabor offers a different experience in the area. We also had the honour of meeting Ritesh Mohan, the owner of the chain who is responsible for getting the flavors from US to India along with Tony Crespo the chef who’s creations we tasted.
Starting off with best, The Shrimp Cocktail. Bite sized cut pieces of shrimp along with 5-6 pieces of shrimps in salsa fresca (chopped tomato, onion, and cilantro, with lime juice and orange mixed in) It was a tangy sweet mixture which was just addictive, I believe there was some sweet tomato sauce along with some tangy tomato paste too but it was just a perfect combination of sweet spicy and tangy!
Next up was the Choriqueso, This was something I had never had before, The Chef explained that choriqueso is a Mexican cheese dip topped with cooked chorizo sausage and a sprinkling of cilantro that is served with chips or warm tortillas. It’s quite popular when it comes to bar snacks and makes for a swell appetizer or even a meal unto itself.
Here mine was topped with lamb mince and served with tortilla chips, now while its a basic cheese dip, it doesn’t feel so heavy, the cheese is mellow and when had warm it doesn't feel overwhelming. It’s perfect for people who love oodles of cheese and also for people who don’t.
The California Burrito was up next, homemade salsa, minced lamb, bell peppers, beans, sour cream and rice in a beautiful burrito wrap topped with cheese dip and salsa fresca. The accompaniments were also great but the cheesy dip on top was the highlight of this burrito.
We also tried the Tacos which were actually the least interesting not not that great too but had to try to get a feel of the Mexican place. Anyhow moving on the cocktails, we tried a couple of margaritas but didn’t venture much.
First up the special El Baliente, this cocktail wooed us, a place famous for its margaritas this one is very special with Corona, Tequila along with indian lemon giving quite the kick and possible a homemade sour mix with citrus and lemon too. This drink was quite extraordinary.
We also tried the Mamalucha and Mamacita, the latter one with the fresh avocado puree was something very unique, the avocado puree was silky smooth and didn’t make the drink chunky but instead added a smooth creamy texture.
The Mamalucha was the spicy take on the Margarita, with perfectly balanced flavors of spicy sweet and sour. Safe to say i loved all the three cocktails and i’m sure they are nailing the others too!
Amazing place for hangout.. stunning ambience..value for money.. delicious food.. courteous staff..would definitely be on my list for next party 💟
It was awesome experience... i visit to this place with my friends on saturday.. i had lots of fun.. we tried their special cocktail named el valiente.. it was mind blowing.. interior set is too good.. i suggest u to visit el sabor once if u planning to go sec 29ggn.. friendly environment and staff.. two types cuisines at one place with good quality service.. & add on of salsa night.. we loved it.. thanks & keep it up to the next level...
Tried first time authentic Mexican food in Gurugram. Loved crispy tacos and fajitas . Good for vegetarians also.
One of my favourite place for food now.
Amazing place, at El Sabor I felt that I am actually in Mexico, the decor, music, drinks, and the authentic Mexican food gives you the perfect flavour of Mexico. The Mexican chef Tony is eager to customise the taste according to your need infact the entire crew is so amicable and happy to help! The passionate effort is so visible in everything.. super place for party, dance and some really innovative fusion food👍👍👏😊

The moment you enter El Sabor you could be forgiven in thinking that you are in Mexico City’s most famous cantina ... it’s alluring and vibrant decor is noteworthy.. Overall my first impression was total wonderment, I was not expecting the event to be of this magnitude..
What a beautiful Mexican night it was .. covering a wide gastronomic range of Mexican starters ..enjoyed closing my eyes and absorbed all the aromatic pleasures .. the highlights for me were Sriracha chilly paneer, chicken flautas, crispy fish taquistos.
How can I not mention the DJ who spiced up the night , we could unleash our energy and dance to the salsa 💃🏼 beats .. then came the swaying superb professional dancers ...their cameos lit up the place and all eyes and mobiles were focused on them .. their Mexican costumes and vibrancy in doing the La Conquista ...got transferred in all the revellers and saw us all ( even the ones with two left feet 😜) groove to the music 🎶..special mention here , how small things make big difference .. we too were given masks 🎭 look out for all the mask pics .. guess who’s who .
Dinner was a fusion of Indian and Mexican , heavily leaning towards our Bharat .. methi Malai chicken , shrimps and rice attracted me .. 💯 to the taste ..
ElSabor is a resplendent new entrant to sec 29 ! Be it the dash of it's contrasting spread of menu (uniquely Mexican) or swanky interiors or hues on the walls , all will definitely add to a gratifying experience.
Food 🍴🍕🍔 surely needs a special mention, we had ordered one fajita and the serving portion was large enough for two persons.Then we ordered minty melon drink which too was carefully crafted.
It's truely a Mexican abode in the heart of Gurgaon.
P. S. If loud beating music is something you are not in for the evening , then you can request to get seated in their private lounge area.
I totally love this place first of all the authenticity of food deserve 5 start, staff and chef are worried about clients concern and petitions if there is something not included in the menu they will prepare anyways. Now about the ambience I wasn't expected such a great salsa dancers around along with a original music. Just about the dj he should accept some client request.
Wishing to go back soon.
Keep the same way!
The place is good for parties. However I would date the starters 3/5 and the main course 2/5. The interior is good. They have a good dance area. Also they charge DJ separately. Thanks . Hope that helps you.
We went there using Dineout booking, issue with bill payment through dineout app, they didn't allow it, make me.pay again at restaurant as well.
We ordered veg food and filling in all three different main course is same with even same seasoning. Only difference is sauces on top and cooking style, same for nachos. Margarita was below average. Overall they did maintain authenticity of Mexican cuisine but need to work on these issues. We had discussions on this with their chef and he was very polite and tried to suggest what should we order because of this veg filling issue.
It's a Saturday evening, Salsa night is going on, people from different professions come together this one evening and dance here, also it's from 7:30-9:30 pm, also the Ambience is amazing loved it !! Sharing some pictures !!
Menu is too good. Music was nice. Some dance school was there so they rocked the dance floor. One star less for very very slow service. Ordered grilled platter but was disappointed to see all the fried stuff in there.
Its really authentic latin place.. superb interior. Nice music & very good friendly staff..
I visited the place for a project party. The place is very spacious. DJ is good. Ambience is also very good. Beer I found ok-ok. Food is not that good. Good ambience for good photography.
El Sabor was amazing, warm hearted welcome, decent food, BARTENDERS had a fantastic and cheerful attitude. All in all I had great fun. DJ wasn't bad either. He threw a good mix of dance numbers. I'm not a fan of Punjabi songs else would have rated awesome.
It's a great place for group gatherings and I hope for individuals too. I will check again later!
