Pizza took very long to make, it came towards the end of our meal. The waiter gave us some free fries and soups to make up the long wait time. Overall it's not a bad experience, I would go back for pasta dishes only.

The fries were crazy good and crispy! Crinkle cut.! There are other options for your sides. I got a piece of pumpkin roll to go. Had to take a bite as we were leaving.. it was divine!!!

When I arrived, however, Rebecca was not helpful and spoke to me in a dismissive manner when I tried to get assistance. She called across the waiting area that she couldn't accommodate us and told us to call back at 3:00 PM, even though we had already waited for about two hours. We were already feeling overwhelmed because we were in town to drop off our child at UC Merced, so the interaction made an already stressful day more difficult. When we returned around 4:00 PM, Rebecca apologized, which I appreciated. The rooms were nice and clean, but there was a lot of noise at night. Overall, I hope management takes this feedback seriously and works to improve both communication and the guest experience.

They have no security to check ids. I'm sure they serve miners. Cause they don't ID at all. The Tarmac Owner Steve really should hold his staff accountable for being slow and unprofessional, and actually very aggressive and argumentative when customers wait 30mins for a beer. The guy at the register was literally waving his hands and voice to customer asks for polite and more professional service. I really suggest some bar lights and more professionalism this might be to much of an expectation, so I encourage everyone to come to the tarmac and and enjoy good food, cold beer, chill vibes and below average service in my opinion today

I just made this account to share what a cool experience i had with this company. They catered my daughters sweet 16 in modesto and was beyond happy how nice and helpful, the owner Roxanne was. She helped me thru the menu selection and added some helpful tips on how i could save money. Truly felt like she wasn't just trying to take advantage of me. The Twisted taco bar was such a cool setup with so many options. Everything was deliciously flavored and the kids went crazy for they're Strawberry lemonade.

The food was AMAZING. I asked everyone to let me know what their favorite dishes were but they were all so delicious it was hard to narrow it down to just one or two. Our main entrees were the lemon dill salmon, the chicken with creamy mushroom sauce and the smoked tri tip. Everyone raved about the sauce on the chicken. I also included side dishes along with the Butternut Squash Soup. The soup was sooooo good. I would order all of the items again. I can't wait to have another dinner party and use Sabores Catering again. I was able to relax and enjoy my guests, not spend the entire time in the kitchen.
