First off I want to start off by saying the hotel itself is awesome, the room and location are great! However, my friend and I had booked a spa day at desert spirt, also a great experience. The issue we had was after the spa, we went to the pool to order food and the service was horrible and that's putting it nice. First you couldn't go in and out of the pool area without a room key, so every time we would walk out, we had to ask someone to open the door. Then they didn't have any menus by the pool, which was not a big deal, because we had to call sabor to get them. The lady brought them up, but then after that we could not order any food at all. Walked into the bar and the bartender was super sweet trying to call everyone and not one person would answer her. Then when someone did talk to her they said to order after 3, so we called back to order at 3:20 and used the pool phone, called 12 times and no answer, then walked into the bar and again the bartender is calling everyone and no one is answer at Sabor. Finally, 10 minutes later the chef walks up looking like he was hungover from the night before, super sloppy and was trying to get us to stay and eat and when we saw that we made the decision (which wasn't hard at this point) to go to Hotel Indigo. When we arrived at Hotel Indigo, we were greeted with amazing staff and set our stuff by the pool and placed our order and given food within 10 minutes. I have been to a number of hotel spas and I have never in my life seen this lack of service, and keep in mind we spend about $900 dollars between us both on spa services to be treated like we were at holiday inn....totally...
Read moreIt's quite ironic that this restaurant is called "SABOR" (flavor in english) because it lacks flavor on everything but the aestetics, too bad I wasn't there to just look at the place, would have been a 5 star review. This is hands down one of the worst dishes ive ever eaten in El Paso. Taco bell is waaaay better! Even in service! The "enchiladas" (more like mamadas) had minimal cheese and were barely wiped with sauce. The protien was just huge chucks of boiled chicken stuffed into tortilla, which wasnt even warmed up, and there was no cheese or sauce in it at all. They couldn't even be bothered to take out tendons and nerves from chunks. How is this even El Paso? A bordertown? Next to Mexico! How can they be proud to serve this? Would they even eat what they serve? The staff acts like they're on "vanderpump rules," treating customers like they are props to their work day. On top of food, it truly leaves a bad taste in your mouth with how apathic they are. I found solace in the fact that I got to leave while they have to stay. In a Hotel California kind of way. In the end it's sad to think this is the kind of experience out of towners get and receive and locals are tricked into thinking is "fine dining". A bunch of us were there for the expo, and I'm embarrassed for this city when theses restaurants appear to be the norm. Also it was expensive, I don't mind paying top dollar for a meal, it's just gotta be worth it. I wish we had more restaurants like NYC or San Francisco or Vienna, where people actually care, have pride, and love what they serve to their patrons, but again this is El Paso so we get places like...
Read moreI recently had the pleasure of enjoying brunch at Sabor restaurant in El Paso, Texas, and it was a truly delightful experience. From the moment we walked in, we were struck by the beautiful decor and warm atmosphere of the restaurant.
One of the first things that caught our attention was the impressive spread of food on offer. From salads and pastries to different kinds of meat, there was something for everyone. As we were in the mood for Mexican food, we were pleased to find that the selection did not disappoint. The dishes were much more flavorful and of higher quality than your typical continental breakfast fare.
Some of my personal favorites included the Caprese Salad, Chalaquiles, and the delectable pastry spread. We also appreciated that drinks were included in the price, although there was an option to add unlimited margaritas for an additional $10. The live singers provided a wonderful ambiance and entertainment for guests throughout the brunch.
While the cost of $40 per person plus a 20% service charge may be a bit steep for some, the quality and variety of the food make it well worth the price. Additionally, the friendly and attentive waitstaff made the experience all the more enjoyable.
Overall, I highly recommend Sabor restaurant for brunch, and I look forward to returning in the future to sample more of their...
