Review from Dan M.

Very impressed with the service at Cafe Sabor. I've been coming here since I was a kid down in Logan to visit my sister while she was in college. It's been years, and I still come back over and over again. The spinach artichoke dip is to die for, and just to name a few; the Pollo Durango and the Arroz con Pollo are two of my favorite dishes! Love it!

i"m guessing someone figured out that Chi-Chi's means "Tits" in Mexican so that's why there's no Chi-Chi's and we have Cafe Sabor instead. But it may as well be Don Pablo's or Something Fresh-Mex or whatever.
This place is the embodiment of Texmex, or California-Style Americanized Mexican Food (whatever that means, I've been to L.A.) or something. We had the veggie fajitas and a taco salad sin carne. The fajitas were passable, but they weren't creative enough to figure out how to make the taco salad entrée substantial without the meat and cheese and sour cream. So basically it was a big plate of romaine lettuce with a schmear of beans and rice. I can make a better taco salad in my sleep. I can also make a salsa that doesn't taste like Prego, one that actually includes chiles. That means spicy in American.
Perhaps I should have gotten the Vallarta Burrito. However, despite the fact that I'm a sucker for real vegetables in Mexican cuisine, there is no such thing as burrito sauce. I refuse to acknowledge its existence.
I would give an extra star for the uncharacteristically decent interior design, no-bullshit and efficient service, halfway decent rocks margaritas, and fresh (albeit, flour) tortillas. Wait, no. I get that we're in Utah and this town is 83.9% white, and a lot of that 83.9% is going to think Cafe Flavor is the bee's knees. But also, this place is 13.9% latino. Also, this place has Tandoori Fucking Oven. Therefore, no excuse for this mediocrity. Anything this pedestrian deserves a resounding meh, despite a handfull of... eh. whatever. -

I really, really, really want to like this place. It's close to my house and is quite charming (the only reason for the second star). But, in truth, every time I go, I swear I will never go back. Tonight was really the worst. The food is so bland (e.g. the salsa is like tomato paste) and overpriced for what it is. My daughter didn't even like the cheese quesadilla, which is a dish that should be pretty hard to mess up. And now, they've gone and lost their liquor license. It was empty and kind of sad in there tonight. Sigh. Sabor, GET IT TOGETHER!

We had heard such mixed reviews on Cafe Sabor that we decided to try it for ourselves rather than bank on others' opinions. It was a mediocre experience at best, unfortunately. The service was fine, though I did notice the hostess going back and forth from handling menus and making tortillas without washing her hands, and touching her face, nose, and mouth without washing her hands before returning to tortilla-making. I was more than a little grossed out.
We ordered their carne asada steak, which was stellar, and husband ordered a creamy chipotle burrito, which was inedibly bad. The sauce tasted like feet, and the burrito contained at least ten ingredients which weren't included in the menu description--husband is fairly picky, and he would never have ordered it if he knew it contained squash (really, in a burrito?). We took it home and pawned it off on someone else, because we certainly weren't going to eat it. The carne asada steak was fabulous, and it was a real shame that it was the only highlight of our evening out. The salsas they serve with their fresh chips are pretty good, a little undersalted. I wouldn't voluntarily go back--there are too many other places that are solidly and consistently good to risk another mediocre meal. -

Don't waste your money or your time. We've been here many times over the years and just went there tonight because we had a gift certificate. Had a bad enough experience, I thought of a Yelp review right away. Pasta had about a pound of onions, my Quesadilla which I requested no onions had a bunch as well. Awful service, waitress was far from accomodating and acted extremely annoyed that we didn't want dishes that were loaded with onions, go to El Toro for good Mexican in Logan! Cafe Sabor reminds me of The Mayan in Salt Lake, somewhat of a popular place to go, but bad food and service.

This place is amazing! I've been to a lot of Mexican restaurants in different states but this one is by far the best! The Pollo Durango is amazing, a must have! Along with the shrimp enchiladas, fish tacos and Carne Asada! The burritos are huge, and on Thursday nights you can get a "local burrito" and a drink (even a beer) for 6 bucks! The place is a must try and I would recommend it to anyone!

still no liquor license? for reals? boo!
with draft beer and a fine tequila selection, cafe sabor would rate four stars for their camarones a la diabla (spicy). but sadly, no shrimps of the devil for this reviewer until management gets with the program. -

So, Cafe Sabor is sort of like your big chain El Torito or Acapulco's - the food is okay, generic, huge portions, nothing special. Eating at Cafe Sabor is sort of like watching an episode of Home Improvement - you won't remember a single thing about it afterward, but for the 30 minutes or so it takes you to down the 3-item combo, you'll enjoy it just fine.
So, why am I giving Cafe Sabor 4 stars? Because their outdoor dining is very nice during the summer. In the evening, you get to sit outside and enjoy the dusk. Why is it that there are no other dining establishments in this city that have outdoor seating???
So, go to enjoy the patio. The food is good enough. -

Food: Kind of typical "Americanized" Mexican food. Decent, but not spectacular. Big portions; chips and salsa before the meal.
Prices: Pretty reasonable, especially during lunch hour.
Atmosphere: Great! It's built out of an old train station, and is quite an interesting place. Service was average.
Overall: There are better places in Logan for Mexican food, but it's probably an okay bet for a nicer sit-down place. -

Service has always been good for me. They treat you professionally, respectfully, and with class. Food isn't to die for, but the price/value is pretty good. I wouldn't say it's authentic Mexican food at all, but it is it's own type/flavor and it's own culture.

Our server recommended the Chino Latino Egg Rolls. I was a bit worried to order egg rolls from a Mexican restaurant but they were beyond belief! A must to start your meal.

Review from Chris O.

Not a fan of west coast Mexican places. I miss my white queso back in the midwest. With that said, four stars coming from me is over-generous. Let me say this--I LOVE THE SALSA! And since I don't like much rice and beans, you can substitute for the amazing Coconut Soup. Very impressed with those two things. Tostadas were average at best. But it was a lunch combination. I'll have to try dinner there, and maybe I'll come back with a 5 star review.

Once I discovered the Carne Asada I could never refuse an invite to Cafe Sabor. Great portion sizes. Good taste. The complementary chips and salsa are always a great prelude into the meal. The setting inside the old Logan train station is unique and fun.

soo, the "after party" was held at cafe sabor where, after a week of forced sobriety, i decided long ago that i would drink my dinner.
i had already polished-off half a bottle of wine before i remembered that i ordered a steak salad ... and i don't eat red meat. (oh, shit.) wait, no worries, all the more room to drink! i pawned-off the meat to the bro but ate some greens for "cushioning." yes, i do think that attempt was futile.
to answer your question, the robot, MJ's thriller and the chicken dance were all (poorly) renditioned that night, courtesy of aimee o, the classy MOH. (you can bet your ass that i'll de-tag when those babies are posted on FB.) and when the first wave of munchies kicked in, there was leftover wedding cake to bury my face in ... yaaaay! i discovered that i really, REALLY like fondant.
two hours later, when the REAL munchies kicked-in, i knocked on a fellow bridesmaid door to enjoy her boyfriend's leftover chicken burrito ... and it was goood. a gift from god if you must.
in a land far, far away - otherwise known as brooklyn - this concludes the "tales from UT: a dry wedding adventure." the end.
wooootttt!Listed in: tales from UT: a dry wedding…

I would have given this four stars several years ago. Recently, I've found their food quality to drop a notch. Still good, just not as consistent as before. Atmosphere in the old train depot is much better than most restaurants in Logan. Definitely worth trying if you eat in the Valley regularly.

I've been here twice and have yet to be truly impressed or disappointed. I feel like it's a pretty solid restaurant but it wouldn't be my first choice.

I really like this place. Good food and great atmosphere. Easy to understand why our guests brought us out of towners here

Always disappointing, not because it's bad, but because it's close. Consistently sub par food for consistently a few bucks more than I should have to pay for it. Just misses the mark again and again by enough that you sort of walk out thinking, I need to remember not to bring anyone here...
