   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.

    Excellent restaurant. Great food. Great service, if you want a cold beer ask for the mug. if you want wine, you will get a glass and more. The steak was great along with the shrimp and chicken and pork. Try the AHI sauce. EXCELLENT. A must go to. its far from the south side but it was worth the trip.

    If you like traditional Colombian food, this is the place to go in Chicago. The place is small so make recommendations and be prepared to be seated really close to the other tables. Totally worth it. Their fruit juices are delicious. Give them a try.

    Perfecto, la comida se demoro muchísimo y llego en partes pero valió la pena la espera, ordenamos unas empanadas de carne como aperitivo y estuvieron fantásticas, las bandejas paisas, el churrasco y los camarones deliciosos y los tragos igualmente ricos, ordenamos mojitos y les quedaron super, la música súper buena, excepto porque el volumen de la música está súper alto y no podíamos oír nada, la mesera sufrió mucho para tomar la orden porque no oía nada, en general muy bueno

    disappointed with the service. server had too many tables to take care and I just see her at the time that took our order and when we were leaving that I had to go find her to pay. no enough light and appetizer was brought with the meal. rude at the time of pay the bill, my husband wasn't understanding the different way to take care paying with credit card, she want us to give her the credit card right away before seeing the bill. I was in this restaurant already three times but this recent one will be the last one. Thanks,

    Made a reservation using open table. When we got there they continued to question the validity of my reservation even though I showed them the confirmation on my phone. They continued to say they didn't have it. Ok , fine. Initially they said that they didn't have any space for us, but then they said they could accommodate us. So they walked us to the back of the restaurant where the restrooms are and gave us a table that faces the wall. Then our server came over about 5-8 minutes after being seated, we hadn't even been given water yet, and asked if we were ready to order our dinner. We said we'd need a minute and he walked away without asking for our drinks. This type of service is basically how the rest of the night went. He brought out our appetizers after our dinner was already out, when our drinks were low instead of offering another he offered the check, and when we were finally ready for the check it took more than 20 minutes to get it and pay it. The food was tasty and reasonably priced, but the poor service and treatment weren't worth it. I wouldn't go again, but if you do, hopefully you have better luck with the service.

    Upon arrival they said that they did not have my reservation even though I placed it. They then sat me at a table that faced the window. This was very upsetting to me seeing as I reserved in advance and drove an hour to get there. However, the food was excellent which made my mood change. In the end, I would recommend calling so you get a better spot in the restaurant.

    I made a reservation for 3 people, but when we got to the restaurant we were informed that they only had us down for 2. The good news was we still got seated quickly and the food was good, but we were a little bummed that we couldn't be seated in the room with the band playing.

    The staff was absolutely lovely, welcoming, and informative. Ate there for dinner. The food was flavorful. The drinks tasty and not lacking alcohol. There are two rooms for dining. The back room is where the stage is located. The front room has a huge screen to show the performing act. I was absolutely delighted with the band that had performed August 5. Parking near the restaurant was free and easy. No need to go to downtown Chicago for great food and entertainment when you and your family can go to Sabor a Café. I'm definitely planning to go back!!!

    The food is amazing, owners are friendly they keep it authentic. My only suggestion would be that Bossanova or brazilian live music is okay but it didnt make the right fit for this great place. Besides that, best piñas coladas and spicy sauce!

    I saw the mixed reviews because of their service problem and thought that my group of 7 might get a better server. I was wrong. Sandra, the waitress, gave my group the worst service we had ever had. First, she double-checked two peoples drink order and brought the wrong drink. Mango and raspberry martinis were ordered and 5 minutes later came back and asked again what we ordered then brought a raspberry and dry martini. We asked her for a new martini and was later charged for her mistake. This did not happen when it was loud either. Then when the rest of the party came she asked for their drinks and then came back twenty minutes later to ask what they ordered again. After 30 minutes of waiting for the drinks we asked where they were and she double-checked and she went and put the order in. That was the point where we said forget ordering anymore drinks. The food and entertainment were both really good. I think if the restaurant is going to put an automatic gratuity of 17% then we should get appropriate service. Sadly, Sandra did not deserve that tip at ALL.
