Pros: great outdoor patio with lots of tables. Drink specials on mojitos and margaritas. Yummy guacamole. Nice alternative to the burger places.
Cons: server was not attentive. Food took over 45 minutes to get (two tables got their food AND paid before we got food!). Only one of our orders was correct.
A little on the pricey side, the staff was nice, but couldn't get the order right. Â One of our party didn't get her food until everyone was done eating. Â They did not charge her for it but it was a big inconvenience. Â Portion sizes are big! Â Their burritios are monster size! Â We all had left overs to take home.
Review Source:Was with a fair size group of Motorcycle riders and stopped for lunch here.
Ordered the Combo plater where you choose your own entre . I choose Two Chicken Taco's and a side of Tortillas . The Food was very Yummy and Fresh, Â Seemed everyone in our group was pleased... I'll make another stop here soon after the Lake thaws out..
I have been a couple times and had no problems but this time was a different case. They had awful karaoke outside which was not at all entertaining. The food took a while which was okay since we were  on lake. I got one of they margaritas and it had no alcohol (I work at a bar in Utah and understand the portions) she promised me it did but I am skeptical. The good tasted great but I am pretty sure they used some beef base in their vegetarian burrito which is something to note for vegetarians like myself.  Despite it all I would probably go back and give it another go.

Allow me to set the stage for this review.
My wife and I are from Southern California (and have no small experience dining in the Mexican environment) and vacationing with our family in Southern Idaho. Â They absolutely love to boat and spend the day at Bear Lake and even have a time share there. Wishing to impress us they booked their timeshare in Garden City and allowed us to stay with them.
After a long day of sight-seeing, hiking the Minnetonka Cave we had a ravenous appetite and we decided to expand our culinary horizon by patronizing the local restaurant scene. Â From a smattering of offerings we chose to dine Mexican as our entire clan loves anything South of the Border. Â We realized that the establishments here rely on the tourist trade and likely operate seasonally. Â This arrangement cuts both ways. The menu could prove quite delectable or it could turn unpalatable. Â Sadly, it was the latter.
We chose to dine on the veranda which was very pleasant. Â The waitress was friendly and competent. (Wish I could recall her rather singularly significant name but it escapes me) Our order was taken efficiently enough and our soft-drinks were delivered timely. Â Your pre-fabbed chips came straight out of the bag from your typical 99 cent store, tasteless, lifeless and bland. Â The companion salsa came out a can from the next aisle over at the aforementioned 99 cent store. Â Barely palatable. Â Please all would-be Mexican restaurateurs take heed! Â Want to make a favorable impression? Â Then deep-fry your own chips and make a distinctive salsa, for goodness sakes!!! Â After this the dining experience went decidedly sideways.
We made pleasant conversation while we waited for order to arrive. And we conversed. And conversed. And conversed. Â Literally 45 minutes went by with only our drinks being refreshed once. Â Then without prelude, a server (not ours), dropped a children's meal in front of our 8 year old. Â It was NOT what was ordered and not a word of explanation was offered. Â Then ten to fifteen more minutes passed and another two meals were delivered, this time by our server. Â This procedure continued for the next forty-five minutes as one or two plates were delivered very piece-meal. By the time my plate arrived everyone at the table had eaten what they could choke down and I hastily began my tenuous journey through this misbegotten eatery.
I had ordered the pork burrito plate. Â The pork was pink and very under-cooked. Â I've seen pigs hurt worse and live than what was lying in that flour tortilla. Â The beans lacked any spice and merited only the first bite. Â The rice had obviously been on the stove since that morning and were threatening to turn into porridge. Â Needless to say, most of what lay in my plate went uneaten.
Unbeknownst to me, our daughter had settled the bill before we had a chance to discuss the pros or cons of speaking with the management. Â We did bring up our objections with the server but no solution or refund or adjustment was offered. In all my years of dining out this occasion top them all as the worse meal I have ever been served. Â I left convinced that the only they remained in business was because of the transient nature of the clientele and that the owner could make a livelihood off of the one-time customers such as ourselves. Â Please, please, please.......unless there is a complete change in ownership and menu we strongly urge any would-be diners to avoid this establishment like the plague.
This location is only open seasonally, as Garden City is a tourist town excluding a few year round locals.
What's fantastic about this place is they really have brought fine dining to the area. Previously it was a burger joint or a to-go meal on a pick-nick bench around town. With Cafe Sabor, you can go out for fine dining. It's very convenient as it provides a valuable experience to the area. During the summer when you've been on the lake boating, and you want to relax and have waiter / waitress service, this place is the place to go.
Food is awesome, and service is good. The service could improve, and the professionalism could improve, but generally I'm very happy with it.
