Omg the broth was soooo flavorful and the meat was so tender the spicy pork tacos were very tasty too. Price was reasonable and the staffs were ever friendly. I would definitely come back.

A real hidden gem. This may be the best Mexican in NYC. A real authentic feel the entire experience was fantastic from start to finish. Great menu, lovely owner, brilliant food and all for a very reasonable price. Try the breakfast burrito. I will very much be back.

Woke up craving something different for breakfast, so I started looking all over Midtown Manhattan for a Mexican spot that was open - and guess what? None of them were But I ended up finding a hidden gem called "Mil Sabores" - real, authentic Mexican food where you can get pretty much anything you want any time of the day or night . The food is super delicious, the customer service is amazing, and the cooks are 100% Mexican!????????

I loved the vibe. Authentic, clean and warm vibe. I ordered the beef soup. Enjoyed the broth and the beef very much. Wished they gave real utensils, not plastic. The potato and carrot in the soup could have been more cooked. Everything is hot a fresh.

Genuinely our favourite restaurant in NYC. The food here is incredible and some of the best we’ve ever had. The authenticity and attention to the flavour was amazing - this is proper Mexican food. Fair prices (about $5 per taco). We came back twice in our visit to the city in May 2022. Staff were so friendly and kind. We primarily had the Al Pastor tacos and these were incredible. Huge, tasted amazing, lovely presentation. We also tried the guacamole and this was so fresh and delicious. We also had the bistec and pollo tacos (both great but Al Pastor was our favourite) as well as a bistec platillo (great tasting beans, beef and rice). Had the tamarindo juice drink and the horchata too. Both were incredible!! Hope to come back to NYC and genuinely is worth the trip alone.

Authentic Mexican food at great prices, served by a lovely lady at the counter. The food has a comforting, homemade taste — delicious and simple, without any frills. They serve in disposable takeout containers and don’t expect a tip unless you choose to give one. It’s self-order, but they bring the food to your table. The place doubles as both an eatery and a Mexican grocery store. I especially loved their Chilaquiles.

Went here for breakfast and had a great experience! We ordered the Huevos con Chorizo and Huevos Rancheros and both were very tasty.
