Santa Clarita is our hometown, and these are the local spots we keep coming back to, from date nights on Main Street in Old Town Newhall to family barbecue and Sunday mornings at church. We have shared these places on Instagram since 2021, most recently taking my dad to Sabor in Valencia in October 2026.
Sabor Cocina Mexicana: Santa Clarita, CA
My dad flew in from Miami, so we took him to Sabor in Valencia for a family night. Rebekah had the carnitas tacos, Dad had the steak tacos, and the three of us fought over the vanilla flan. Margaritas, chips and dips, all of it was great. A warm spot for a family dinner in the valley.
