This is a cozy little restaurant with only five tables. You place your order at the front counter and will be eating with plastic utensils, but if that's not an issue for you, you'll be delighted by the food. I highly recommend the Enchiladas Verde.

I had some tacos in the upper moco, and these are the best. The meat is very well seasoned. I thought the chorizo tacos were especially delicious. Seriously.

We tried the tacos Al Pastor and Chorizo, the sopes Tinga de pollo, the gorditas de chicharon, and the Enchiladas Pollo de Mole. My god this place has the best Mexican food I've had since I've moved to Gaithersburg in January. The best tacos I've had were from La Placita in Riverdale and I gotta say this place is better. Highly recommend giving it a shot. I will be back very soon! P.S Follow me @a_head_in_food to see good food from all over and also straight out the kitchen.

I ordered a torta lateish tuesday night after finishing up some volunteer work nearby, and was hangry. They made my order pretty quickly, were courteous when I came in to pay and was slightly disoriented. The torta was the size of my head and delicious, if I hadn't eaten all day I could have made it stretch two meals. I wish there was more filling though, it was a 2/3 bread ratio to 1/3 filling/sandwhich fixings. Be warned that google maps takes you into an empty back lot of different businesses near Sabor Azteca. I have bad night vision and it was frustrating that it took a few minutes finding the right location. No fault on the restaurants part, and it was worth having a good quality meal at almost 9pm at night.
