Tom Sietsema, the food critic for The Washington Post for nearly 25 years, recently reviewed Sabor Mixteco, a new restaurant at 2460 Ennalls Ave. in Wheaton.
Sabor Mixteco has taken over the location formerly occupied by Kantutas, which relocated to a larger space at 2400 University Blvd W in 2023. The restaurant’s menu features a variety of dishes, including carne asada, chilaquiles (a breakfast option), enchiladas, tacos, and tortas.
Sietsema praises the tacos, “I appreciate whatever meat — zesty chorizo, earthy braised beef tongue, pork sweetened with pineapple — dresses his warm, saucer-size corn tortillas.” He says “the taqueria excels with the sandwich” regarding the tortas. The chiles rellenos may be the best he has ever had, “The list of daily specials might include one of the best chiles rellenos in memory.” The full article can be seen here.
In addition to the love from Sietsema, the restaurant has earned a 5 star rating on Google with 49 out of 50 reviews giving the restaurant five stars. On Yelp, Sabor Mixteco has a 4.9 rating on 21 reviews with 19 of the 22 reviews giving the restaurant 5 stars.
