Sabor Latino Restaurant, Newark, New Jersey, Mexican Restaurant Details

Food:

How can I give a zero rating? I went to try an Encebollado and a arroz chaulafan. The encebollado was like eating a fish in water soup, it had no flavor. When I tried the rice that I ordered for my daughters I had to stop my wife from going off on the cook. The rice seemed hard and lumpy and tasted like it was a couple days old and reheated. I don't kind paying for food but as long as it's good. I will never go back to this place again. This was my experience if you had a different one good for you.

I have visit this restaurant before and hade a good time with my husband. We have order the soup and shrimps it was the the best thing that I have tasted in a while!!the waitress that serve us was so sweet an funny we just had a great time. the waitress gave us an estimate time of when the food will be done which was no problem for us because we were not in a rush just wanted to have a good time.

at our time being their we saw other customers in a rush an wanted everything now even though they told them it was going to be a while.I was surprise how the waiters had such petitions with them.

but overall experience I enjoy my time dinning at sabor latino restaurant

What i love the best is how they have two aquariums, the first one is the main entrance which is the turtles and the one from the back witch are the fishes witch show an amazing look. I really do recommend you to eat here, especially the seafood. COME TO SABOR LATINO!!!

This place doesn’t even rate any stars!!

I live in the area and go by the restaurant all the time coming from working in the city and wanted to give this restaurant second chance even though our first experience was bad. We were thinking that there could possibly be an improvement, the pictures looked good.

Coming from a serving background (I was a server and worked in front and back of house at a 500-700 top restaurant for several years, and have a affinity for most restaurant people as I know this is not easy work and long hours) and was TRYING to keep an open mind about everything and not expecting anything...just wanted to enjoy some good cooking, which the name implies.

There were two waitresses with BIG attitude problems. NO ONE ACKNOWLEDGED THAT WE CAME IN EVEN THOUGH THE ONLY TWO WAITRESSES SAW US. We "guessed" on where we were to sit. THE RESTAURANT WASN'T EVEN BUSY and it wasn’t closing time either!! In the main area of the restaurant there were 1 table with a couple and one more at another table. At the bar there were 2-3 men just sitting either midway or toward the end of their meal. When we sat down, one of the waitresses with a long ponytail came to our table with such an attitude like it was too much trouble to come to a table and ahhh....serve?!! We ordered our beverages and asked a simple question about one of type of ceviches they had. Apparently, it was too beneath her to answer a simple question about something on the menu, she snapped back a response like we were supposed to know...WE WERE THE ONES ASKING!! I saw that she went to the other waitress to switch tables because she didn’t want to work our table. We ended up ordering shrimp ceviche which was delivered by the other waitress. Man, it had so much potential, but came out very watery. We asked for appetizer plates and got only one with an attitude from the server that made our whole experience very sour...

Look, at least we had enough respect for the establishment to pay for what we ate even though we didn’t finish. WE WILL NEVER COME HERE AGAIN, AND DON’T RECOMMEND THIS RESTAURANT TO ANYONE ELSE.

If you think maybe there was a language barrier, that was not the case. I speak Spanish an d was with someone who is visually obviously latin and speaks fluent Spanish.

The service prevented us from even enjoying the effort the kitchen made in trying to make the meal!
