The tables and chairs are so small the chairs are not strong enough and it seems like they are going to break. My husband ordered tongue and he got two small pieces He said the favor was horrible. They run out of one of the desserts. For the quality of food they are overpriced. For sure not a restaurant to recommend.

Great Colombian and Venezuelan delicacies in this small charming restaurant but the real attraction is the great music they provide on their little stage

The food is delicious the restaurant is beautiful the servers are great the only problem is they don’t actually use open table for reservations so no matter how many confirmations I got that my table was reserved it actually wasn’t and I only found this out upon calling to let them know that I would be five minutes late. Thank God they were able to accommodate me but if you make a reservation through open table don’t count on it being there

We were there mostly for the music on Sunday night. It was Father's Day and very crowded and noisy. Hoping there will be more interest in the music on a "normal" night. Food is very good but they do run out of things. Service is good but you have to be a bit patient if they are really busy.

Food was wonderful! Prices are very reasonable. My wife and I have been to Sabor A several times before. We did set our reservation so we could hear the music, but when the group played it was too loud for us to converse with our friends. We like the restaurant a lot and we will be back.
