Inside El Sabor Latino in Palm Beach Gardens, a restaurant with ample seating, full bar and the biggest big screen TV (300 inches!) I've ever seen anywhere on its back wall.

A celebration of homestyle Latin cooking, every plate feels like a warm embrace. Known for generous portions and soul-satisfying flavors, the menu spans Cuban classics, Puerto Rican favorites, Dominican specialties and more. I watched with envy when a lobster tail-topped paella was delivered to the table next to mine; gorgeous, ginormous and clearly meant for sharing. I didn't order it (too much food for a solo patron), but it looked absolutely amazing.
