Sabores Mexicanos Restaurant offers hearty meals
Translated to English as "Mexican flavors," Sabores Mexicanos attempts to offer more authentic Mexican cuisine.
Another restaurant nearby offers Filipino-Mexican flavors.
The menu states that this grilled soft tortilla is topped with marinated shredded beef, pico de gallo, and cilantro leaf.
Pico de gallo appears to be a staple side dish or ingredient in their dishes. This Pollo Rostizado included it as a side dish.
"Pico de gallo is a raw salsa known as a salsa fresca, or “fresh salsa,” in Spanish. It is a delicious combination of plum (Roma) tomatoes, white onion, cilantro, serrano chile and a splash of lime juice. You will find it on every Mexican table."

This Nachos Grandes was no exception. It also included pico de gallo.
This Costilas a la barbacoa was big enough to be shared. The dish that was served stayed true to its promise of falling off the bone. Its sweet savory flavor can also be enjoyed by children.
This was what was left of the burrito that one of the diners also enjoyed.
Sabores Mexicanos Restaurant is located in Vista Mall, Sta. Rosa, Laguna (across Nuvali). According to the staff, this is the first of its kind.
On the wall rests an image of Our Lady of Guadalupe. Mexicans are known to have a strong devotion to her.
They entrust work or other petitions to her, including those pertaining to unborn children. The actual image is that of a pregnant woman.
"The shrine that was subsequently built on the spot, where the original tilma can still be seen, remains one of the most popular pilgrimage sites in the world."
