Bringing the Taste of Latin America to New Jersey

Sabor Latino started as Vargas Fried Chicken in 2006, a small restaurant that offered Dominican cuisine for takeout and delivery. As the business grew, it transformed into the vibrant and welcoming restaurant that it is today.

In 2007, the owners changed the name to Sabor Latino to reflect the broader scope of the menu and to better showcase the variety of flavors from the Caribbean and Central America.

History and Background

Sabor Latino Restaurant is the brainchild of a Dominican couple who decided to bring a taste of their country to New Jersey. The couple, who were passionate about cooking, wanted to share their love for Latin American cuisine with others. They started small, cooking traditional dishes in their home and selling them to the local community. Over time, they gained a loyal following, and their customers encouraged them to open a restaurant.

They renovated an old building, giving it a warm and welcoming ambiance. They chose the name "Sabor Latino" because it reflects their commitment to bringing the flavors of Latin America to New Jersey.
