El Sabor de Oaxaca: An Authentic Mexican Dining Experience in Hudson

After visiting Olana State Historic Site a group of six went to El Sabor for a late lunch. It was our first time there. We looked it up on Google Maps but didn’t know anything else about it. It’s a very casual place. A bunch of tables for four people and a counter where you go to get takeout. We pulled a table away from the wall so all six would fit at the table. If there were more free tables we would have pulled two tables together to give us more room for everything we ordered. There was a regular menu and a menu for the specials. Both have lots of items on it. Three people ordered Enchiladas Oaxaca which were four fried tortillas filled with chicken and also came with a choice of a side of Steak or Pork. Our friends ordered Steak which was one large thinly cut piece of steak. It also came with rice and beans. My wife and I shared The veggie tacos and the red cecina which was marinated pork. Also ordered was a Burrito filled with rice beans and she chose chicken which came with two sauces. For the table we ordered the Huaraches with chorizo meal as an appetizer. Most enjoyed their meals. My wife and I loved our meal. It’s not tex-mex which some people expect when going to a Mexican restaurant. It’s traditional Oaxacan food. We debated if I should give it a 4 or 5 star and concluded it’s exactly what it says it is and the food was delicious but might not be to everyone's taste.

El Sabor de Oaxaca is the tastiest lunch spot on Warren Street and it’s always empty which is a shame - friendly staff and a basic cute room with charming music- my Mexican shrimp in a creamy tomato sauce was divine

This place is as authentic as it gets. I've eaten a number of times in Mexico, and this takes me back. Taste, texture and aroma are all on point. I even went out of my way on the way home during Thanksgiving to get another taste. Highly recommend.

Amazing place, very authentic food, my family and I were very impressed with food, service and hospitality. Highly recommend. Chicken quesadillas and the heavy soup (pozole) out of this world.

Omg! the food was amazing, the service fast and friendly (& welcoming) portion size was generous. Lots of authentic dishes with lots of options and specials

We really enjoyed our dinner here! We sat outside, which was great since they had umbrellas. Great guacamole, tacos and burritos. We enjoyed the spicy salsa and the birria tacos. The server was great, really friendly and really quick to serve us. Recommend if you are in the area!

Tried the guacamole for an appetizer and for entrees we got steak tostadas & fried quesadillas with chicken. We enjoyed everything and thought the guacamole and chips were really good! Our food came out pretty quickly and the portions were all a good size. Definitely would come back and try other things on the menu too!

Absolutely THE BEST most authentic, fresh Mexican food I have ever eaten. Honestly, I guess I had never eaten authentic Mexican food before this meal!! Two sweet ladies in the small open kitchen cooking the most delicious food I’ve ever eaten.
