Had a better experience this time with the quality of food and service however they were out of several things so one star off for that. They were great about our large group and the server did a great job. read more

My family and I drove 2.5 hours to visit this restaurant yesterday, and unfortunately our experience was so disappointing that we left without ever ordering. To give some context, I had been struggling with depression and having a particularly difficult day. My husband thought getting me out of the house, taking a scenic drive to Bear Lake, and treating me to one of my favorite comfort foods, cheese dip from this restaurant, might help lift my spirits. The drive was beautiful despite the rainy weather, and for the first time all day I actually started feeling a little better. That feeling disappeared the moment we walked into the restaurant. The restaurant was not busy, yet my family stood at the host stand for quite a while without being acknowledged. Employees were nearby, but no one greeted us or even let us know someone would be with us shortly. While we were waiting, a server spoke with a gentleman behind the host stand. Immediately afterward, a group seated near the entrance was moved to a different table. We were then seated at the exact table they had just vacated. The silverware was still disheveled from the previous guests, and it became obvious why they had asked to move. Every time the front door opened, cold air blew directly onto the table. Seeing that there were at least eight or nine open tables throughout the restaurant, I politely asked our server if we could also move. Her response was that her boss said we could not. Thinking there must be some misunderstanding, I looked around at all the empty tables and asked if there really was not another table available. She explained it would be outside of her section. As someone who has worked as a server myself, I understand section assignments. However, this restaurant is very small, and the alternative tables were only a short distance away. It was not a matter of a long walk across a large dining room. The part that really bothered me was the attitude. The request was met with annoyance rather than understanding. After refusing, the server abruptly responded, "No, so what do you want to drink?" At that point, we decided to leave. We calmly gathered our three children and walked out. No one apologized, no one asked if there was a way to make things right, and no one seemed to care that a family was leaving. What makes this especially disappointing is why we came in the first place. We had driven 2.5 hours specifically to visit this restaurant because my husband was trying to help pull me out of a difficult slump. We were not looking for anything special, just a warm meal, a comfortable table, and a pleasant experience. Instead, we were treated like a nuisance for making a simple request in a nearly empty restaurant. I rarely leave negative reviews, but the combination of poor hospitality, dismissive service, and a complete lack of concern for the customer experience left a lasting impression, and unfortunately not a good one. read more

The Chile rellano was cold and no filling was inside and the shredded beef enchilada was watery and skimpy.

Fajitas were delicious! And the service by Alex was incredible! She was so friendly and attentive to enlarge group. Will definitely go back

Food quality: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Cleanliness: 5/5 Value: 5/5 Our group of 11 came to Café Sabor, and Hasan and his team took fantastic care of us! Many of us ordered the Thursday special, and I went with the protein bowl with shrimp -- absolutely delicious. A couple of folks in our group had their green sauce accidentally mixed half red/half green, but overall, everything came out just right. We were seated quickly, our food arrived fast, and we were out in no time. We'll definitely be back! read more

I really wanted to like this place, but the experience was disappointing. The service was by far the worst part. Our server, Fernando, was unfriendly and seemed uninterested in helping us. We never received drink refills, and we had to wait far too long whenever we needed something. To make matters worse, we were seated in direct blazing sun, making it very uncomfortable to enjoy our meal. We politely asked if we could move to another available table, but Fernando wouldn't even try to accommodate us or offer any alternative. The food was okay, but the poor customer service and lack of basic hospitality completely overshadowed the meal. Unfortunately, because of this experience, I don't see myself returning. read more

Chips were super stale, food was mid. Got the tacos which are actually pretty expensive for what you get. Also shared chicken Durango the chicken mushroom and cream sauce. Needed more flavor read more

I've been going to Café Sabor and Logan for almost 30 years. I'm amazed that their food continually gets better. It's busy in Bear Lake but really on the ball service. I recommend highly read more

5 stars: Laughed so hard I almost forgot I was hungry... almost. If you're in Bear Lake and don't stop at Café Sabor, I have questions about your life choices. We rolled in as a party of 9 (aka a logistical nightmare for most restaurants), but Firat and Hasan handled us like pros. Not only did they seat us like we weren't a small wedding party, they immediately brought out chips and salsa like the legends they are, which is clearly psychic and well-versed in hangry prevention. Firat and Hasan were HILARIOUS. Like, actual stand-up comedy while taking our drink orders. They had us laughing the entire time, cracking jokes with perfect timing. I don't know how they do it, possibly sorcery, definitely charisma. Bonus points for when they gave us the honest truth: "It's going to be a while for food." And it was. Over an hour. But you know what? They told us upfront, and somehow they made that wait feel like dinner theater. When the food finally came out, it was totally worth it. I ordered the shrimp ceviche and the Sabor Berry Mojito mocktail, and both were 10/10. Refreshing, flavorful, and honestly made me feel like I was on vacation somewhere with a better exchange rate. Fast service, fantastic food, and funny servers? Café Sabor is the whole trifecta. Book the table, bring your friends, and tip your servers well -- they deserve their own Netflix special. read more

Service was slow for refills and silverware:( Food was mid! Most of the servers were standing around doing nothing but talking!

Tex-Mex styled food, not authentic Mexican! Cafe Sabor is a decent Mexican food option in the Bear Lake area. I wouldn't say that it's the best Mexican food, but it gets the job done! We did takeout so I can't speak for the ambiance of the restaurant, but the to-go food came out quick and the staff was great! read more

Kira was awesome she was friendly and attentive. Food was great and hot would definitely recommend coming to Cafe Sabor.

Fernando was AWESOME!! Go to cafe sabor for yummy food, good vibes, and great service!

The service was okay, not great. My meal came a little more than 10 minutes after everyone else's. The food was good. Not great, not bad. The best thing my big group got was the carne asada burrito. If you are craving Mexican it will hit the spot. read more

Great food. Had a burrito and it was a good size. The service was great, they were very attentive and accommodating.

We went with a party of 10 on a Wednesday evening and were seated quickly. The food was good, and the portions felt reasonable for the price. They were out of one of the ingredients for a mocktail which was a bummer. We would visit here again. read more

Food was so yummy. And our server Ede was amazing. It wasn't busy at first so I went early. Ambiance casual and noisy. read more

I came here with high hopes and was expecting decent food. When I walk in I am immediately turned off. I feel something is off. The pork quesadilla catches my eye, so I oblige willingly. Once I got my food, it looked decent. But I took a bite and immediately regretted even coming here. 14 bucks for soggy quesadillas with little to no pork in it. Embarrassing. The service was alright but the ambiance felt off. If you want to be disappointed come here read more

Food is good, but this restaurant doesn't like senior citizens at all. They're not allowed to order from the kids menu, there's no senior menu and no senior discount. read more

The food was fantastic and the prices were reasonable. We enjoyed the chili relleno and it was the best horchata that I've ever had. read more

Don't get the spinach & artichoke dip! Came out on a plate & tastes like sour cream. NO FLAVOR AT ALL!! I got a sweet pork burrito, I would not recommend the sweet pork at all! Has a little of flavor but they watered it down! We got the steak quesadilla, the steak flavor was amazing but not enough meat! The service was not that good, took us like 30 mins to get a drink order! Would not recommend read more

We tried to go here for dinner last night. We put our names on the waitlist through Yelp. We were given a time frame of when to be to the restaurant. We then received a text pushing that time frame back about 30 mins. No biggie! We appreciated the update. When we arrived at the restaurant we were told they could seat us, however, the kitchen was extremely backed up and we would have to wait at least an hour for food to be served. Really?? The hostess explained the kitchen staff is "bad". At this point it was 8:00 pm. We had tired and cranky kids. We left and will not be returning. Please don't allow guests to put their name on a waitlist, have them wait, then be told to wait even longer. Just be honest from the get go! read more

Service was great! We got $3 margs and some chips and salsa. Salsa was okay, chips were good. Margs were a little too sweet for my taste but overall nice workers and decent food. read more

Just know this is not authentic Mexican food!! Once you realize this is maybe Tex-Mex it's pretty good. The non spicy salsa was more like a marinara but the "spicy" salsa was delicious though, although not very spicy. The service and food were great. This is also one of the only places open on a Sunday. All in all a great spot close to Bear Lake read more

Their chicken chimichangas are pre made. I know this because I tried to order without cheese and the waitress came back and said they are premade and can't order without cheese. I don't know if they order them premade or if they make a bunch and freeze them or what. That's disappointing. I had the shrimp street taco that was really good and the rice and beans on the side. The frozen chicken chimichanga was actually quite tasty. read more

They should call this place Cafe Saborbibor. 1.5 wait on a pretty slow night for some of the worst food I have ever had. 12 people in our group--screwed up 5 of my parties order. Server checked on us maybe 3 times in 90 minutes. Filled my water once in the same timeframe. Bear Lake spots can be spotty, at best, but this set the bar SO SO So low. Avoid this like the plague, which, I have a 40% chance of contracting after eating at this crapshack. Also, had four bees attack our table, and one of our party got stung--and somehow that wasn't the low point of our experience. read more

Let's be clear, maybe no restaurant in Bear Lake is actually five stars. BUT, the service here was so great I added a star because the food was four stars. Lots of free chips and salsa. Nice salads. The shrimp ceviche was legit. Hubby got a beer, I got the spicy margarita. Both were SO reasonably priced. The margarita was good and actually spicy, not too sweet. Our waitress was so nice, she had just turned 21 and I wish I got her name, because she deserves a mention for how attentive and genuinely helpful she was. read more

kira was wonderful! cafe sabor is by far the best restaurant in garden city. the menu is so awesome. especially the fish tacos

We love to go to Cafe Sabor when we travel. We go to the St George, Bear Lake and Island Park locations a few times a year. The food is always tasty, hot and comes out quickly. We've always experienced great service no matter how busy or slow they are. We love how many gluten free options there are. We are not celiac but have never had a reaction from Cafe Sabor. read more

So we went to Cafe Sabor in Garden City while enjoying Bear Lake with the family. We had a large party of 13 and made reservations. It wasn't crowded on a Wednesday evening after the Fourth of July and they seated us quickly. Our waiter was friendly, which hasn't always been the case at this location. We sat outside on a couple of picnic tables in the shade, which was pleasant. Our food took about 45 minutes to come out but our server kept the chips and salsa fresh while we waited. I usually order the pollo con crema, and have really liked it in the past, but decided to switch it up and go with fajitas instead. Big mistake. How do you mess up fajitas? They're so simple, just the peppers and onions alone with a little salt and pepper would be okay, but no, they had to dump their tomato based salsa over them and over cooked the peppers and onions to almost mush. The tomato flavor from their salsa was so dominant you couldn't taste the peppers and onions, just tomatoes and the small bits of steak didn't stand a chance. I could barely eat any of it, my sister ordered the chicken fajitas and couldn't eat them either. If this was our first time here we would not go back, and the garden city location has never been the best. I also ordered nachos for the kids to share but with just cheese and jalapeños. These looked okay, but they brought them out with the entrees and nobody was hungry enough to eat them waste of $10.50. Ended up leaving the entire plate of fajitas and nachos almost completely untouched. The server never asked and at that time I was done and just wanted out. A couple people ordered the soup and said it was good. Tortilla soup and a coconut mushroom, I tried the coconut mushroom and it was good. Overall the food wasn't good, our server, Efe, was the best part of the meal and I don't blame him for the food. read more

Chips and salsa were disappointing, but the food and service otherwise was very good. The shrimp tacos and Chile rellenos were excellent. They have outdoor seating that overlooks the river. We went again for a work party and the chips and salsa were much better. Raised my rating. read more

Flavorless. Didnt even taste like me andcan food. When it says comes with guacamole and sour cream, it was a table spoon or less of each. Dry! And needs more smother!!but....SERVICE, FANTASTIC!!! read more

Our food and service were sub par. The flies and bees were so bad we had to move from the patio inside. The chips were not fresh and the guacamole was not mashed- just chunks of avocado and very little flavor, everything was bland and very Tex-Mex. Would not go back. Cafe Sabor used to be a favorite place to eat in Logan, but the Bear Lake location is not good. read more

My quesadilla was tiny for 17 dollar! Ts was such a rip off and I'm never coming here again. Absolute worst ratio I've ever seen. They forgot to bring out guac and sour cream and didn't even apologize. If you like Mexican don't come here because it will ruin it for you. It also made me shit the bed. read more

To start my food was cold when it came out, and I ordered a shrimp burrito that had three peices of shrimp in the burrito. The server messed up the order multiple times and was rude about it as well. read more

Absolutely delicious! We love their chips and salsa and guacamole. We love carne asada

Great food with an original take on Mexican classics. Friendly service. I would definitely return.

Heard this was the place so we had to stop by. We had a great experience and Young G (people call him OG but he's young G to me) was a great waiter. Food on the other hand was alright, nothing too special. We got: Carne Asada- this dish was the best out of the 3 Al Pastor was chicken but we asked for pork. It was alright Chile Verde- Alright as well, too acidic for me.. Chips and Salsa- IDK why people complain, it's complimentary. So if you don't like it, don't eat it lol They didn't have the cab on the menu so I ordered Malbec and that was terrible haha Overall, we enjoyed ourselves and would prob come back if I'm too lazy to cook since there's not a lot of options in Garden City... read more
