Sabores Del Sur — Restaurant in Virginia

Well The Hood and his team found this little hidden gem!! Let’s say…. fantastic! We were greeted with an enthusiastic welcome from the girl at the counter! Being it was the first time for the Hood we struck up conversation. We asked about eating in and she excitedly said of course! But apologized over and over for telling us that we had to order at the counter and then pay before our meals. She told us they had to change because they had a lot of people dine and dash. This is a family run business and it sad people would do that to them. Well let’s start with food - we got a whole chicken (recommended by our energetic person) and it didn’t disappoint seasoned very well and cooked to perfection! We also got fries and another potato (recommended) and they were delicious! Service- !!!!Awesome!!! Didn’t get her name but she was energetic and smiling the whole time! I actually tipped her before we even got the food just on this girls energy! Atmosphere - it’s a small place very bright and welcoming only has a couple of tables to eat in but overall clean and nice. So overall The Hood says you must go here! When we are in the area again we are definitely stopping! Oh one more thing the desserts!!! Home made and you must save room they are delicious and the cakes are moist!! So like always The Hood says be kind to each other. Don’t dine and dash either, so wrong. Remember to follow The Hood because food adventure is...

When I inquired for buñuelos, she informed me that they did not have any. So, I ordered two empanadas to go. I spent $16.14 for two beef empanadas and two ponymaltas. Unfortunately, these “Colombian” empanadas failed to meet expectations. The dough was excessively greasy and lacked the typical crispness. The filling was bland, consisting of ground beef and rice, and lacked the spices and flavors found in true Colombian empanadas. Even the ají sauce couldn't improve the experience. Definitely not what I expected, especially if you're used to traditional Colombian...

Lazy Sunday and we decided to stop in to grab some takeout. While not an extensive menu, everything sounded really good... Plus there are a lot of baked treats. I went with a 1/4 chicken with rice and plantains and we also got an order of lomo saltado. The chicken was great... Slightly charred and smoky. While the beef in the lomo saltado could have been a little more tender, it was so fresh. The woman at the counter was great. We chatted a bit and she walked us through a lot of the items they had. We'll...
