We were here on a Monday during a busy lunch rush. Normally, I am understanding of this if the food and service were good, but this was not the case! The service was also awful. The woman working at the counter was so snarky. I asked how big the tacos were to determine if I needed order 2 or 3. She wasn't friendly at all! I get it, there was a line behind me, but I didn't need the attitude. The cherry on top was how the tacos took 20+ minutes to come out and they were cold and unseasoned. Unfortunately, the steak tacos were mid at best, and pretty pricey ($3+ per taco). Several tables had their orders missed or forgotten as well.

We waited about 20 minutes before receiving water, chips and salsa, we also ordered queso. After order was finally taken food came out for all family members except me. I reminded Evelyn that I ordered a protein bowl she went back to the kitchen to see what happened but didn't return to tell me until 20 minutes later. By now, my family has eaten most of their food and Evelyn tells me the paper fell behind something in the kitchen so my bowl was never made. I ask Why it wasn't made when she went back to find out because it's been 20 minutes since she went looking for it. She asks if I would still like it to be brought out, I say yes , bring it in a to go box because my family is now done eating. Fast forward 15 minutes, Evelyn comes over and asked if it's OK for her to just take my meal off the ticket. Thinking she's going to bring my food out and comp it but no, she means just eliminate like I never ordered! I ask, so I'm just not eating and she replies, "I can have to kitchen make it now if you'd like" - are you kidding me?!! Manager came over to say sorry. Not hey, let me comp some meals or let me hurry and make for you. Just, sorry. I was absolutely floored! We went out to eat at a restaurant, but after an hour and 45 minutes I never got to eat. It's so crazy it's laughable, I was angry and so hungry! This was the worst experience I've ever had at a restaurant in my 50 years on earth. I'm sure E.... Is a nice girl but it was a disaster! I'm still floored at what happened! We had to flag down someone else to refill chips. Had to flag down someone else to refill waters. I grew up in Logan, Utah, and loved going to café Sabor.

Everything I've had here has been good, wife likes it and so have guests. 30 minute drive from my house but worth it to satisfy a Mexican food craving. Funky building, might have been a gas station at one time. Lunch time can be very busy with locals, students, business folks and construction workers, which tells you how liked this place is.

They had sever affordable lunch options. My niece got their kids Mac and cheese (also delicious) and it came with a small ice cream sundae. That was a huge hit with her.

The flavor would be a hit and miss when we'd go (even before getting sick here), But it's not worth stomach pains and vomiting that came after. Service is ok. They're plainly dull when speaking and attending their customers too. At the end - eat at your own risk. I'd say this is the authentic Mexican version of Taco Bell when it comes to eating cheap and feeling sick to your stomach after

It may have great food, but the employer is a total jerk to his employees! The other day I was in standing in line to order and the boss, Brian Larsen, comes over to the cute little pregnant girl trying her best to help the orders get through, and completely chews her out for not getting the orders "out on time and cannot act stupidly slow" when she is trying her best to hurry around and totally in front of the other customers and loud enough so that the all of taco time could hear it as well! He then proceeds to turn around and put on a cheery smile and give his customers a warm and happy greeting, all while he holds and order in his hand, not handing it out to the drive-thru. Brian himself does not clean or make any food what-so-ever during the rush hours. It wouldn't bother me so much but since Ive been a manager, I know that treating your employees right(notice i didn't say good)is half of your customer service since they are the ones who run your business for you! In my experience, hypocritical bosses are the downfall of their own businesses. This place is doomed to a falling out with its employees and business. read more

They are a South Carolina inspired bbq and they did not disappoint!! I tried the bbq chicken, tri tip, and brisket and everything was awesome!!

The tritip hit more like a traditional brisket and the brisket more like pulled pork, but high notes all round. Of the sides I tried, between the potato salad, coleslaw, and fries, the fries were the star of the show!! I shared the platter with 3 other adults and a toddler and we were all impressed!!
