Sabor Latino — Restaurant in Dallas

Great little place. There is a lot of parking around this area, so that was good, even at 530pm on a Tuesday. I had never had Colombian food before, but the guy who owns this place, and I guess cooks all of it from scratch, is from Cali, so it's authentic from what I can tell. He does make a limited amount of stuff each day, so he was out of arepas and a couple other items, but I did come right before they closed.

He was super nice and helpful with the menu. Recommended the empanadas which were really tasty, and the sauce that comes with them is good as well (it's a green sauce, I have no idea what is in it, but there was a lot of it). I also had the pandebono, a biscuit sort of thing with cheese in it. He also has a number of fruit juices and smoothies as well as a number of different Colombian sodas. I had the Colombiana which was great.

I called originally to see if they did curbside, but I ended up just going in and ordering to go. The chairs are a little rickety, but I am a big guy who is 6'3", so a lot of chairs are. The interior is nicely appointed and comfortable, a number of tables, and the service was really fast.

The owner was super nice and I even called today to make an order over the phone for lunch to pick up at a certain time, to which he said no problem whatsoever. They had a number of items they were out of that looked great on the menu, so hopefully those items are as good as what I had. I would suspect the owner would do everything in his power to make it right...

Horrible experience!!! First and last time there. Went on a sunday with my daughter. We entered and sat on an available table, there were like 10 small tables 4 or 5 occupied. Promptly a female server came to take our order, we knew what we wanted (colombian food)so we ordered right away. 2 juices and the food. Juices came fast good taste no problem. The food!!! We saw 3 tables that came after us being served. Waited for 45 minutes, no one came to apologize for the wait or explain what was going on with our order. We stood up and went to the counter to pay for the juices and the lady said "aren't you going to wait for the food" is getting ready. I said I just want to pay for the juice. They charged me the juices without any further questions or apologies. The awful customer service prevented us from actually...

I don't eat a lot of Spanish food, but since this place is right next door, I thought I'd try it. The gentleman who took my order knew as much English as I knew Spanish (not much, lol) but we made it work! He was so polite and friendly! I ordered the "Arepa Rellena" with chicken and cheese. Came with a dipping sauce that I think has cilantro and onion in it.... lemme tell yall what, this was by far the tastiest food I've ever had, of any kind, period. The mix of flavors with that sauce, SOOO GOOD! I will definitely be coming back for more, and my wife (mi esposa who DOES speak Spanish, lol) have already made a date to go for dinner. Beautiful restaurant, very clean and inviting. 11 out of 10 for me all...
