El Sabroso

Step inside an industrial loading dock in Midtown and you’ll find a no-frills lunch counter serving up Latin American treats, like stewed chicken and steak with buttery onions . Read more

This place is a hidden gem & a hole in the wall ! It’s in a freight elevator ! Who would have thought that the food would be so flavorful & delicious?! Pernil with rice & beans for the win!

Great hole-in-the-wall/loading dock alternative to the ordinary lunch spots you're probably growing tired of. Skip the menu and go straight to the source - the chef . Pro Tip: Cash Only !

El Sabroso has been open for 20 years with the same owner serving affordable Hispanic food. The non-descript sign outside reads “Aqui ahorra y come bueno” meaning “Here you will save and eat well .” Read more

The chicken stew is amazing. Load it up with hot sauce . The meat literally falls off the bone. Only $6. My go-to lunch in the neighborhood .
