    Cafe sabor has a lot of authentic dishes to pick from. I went with my family and everyone was pleased with their order. This place always seems to be busy , so you may have to wait a little longer for a table. The servers were friendly. I saw it posted but forgot to take a pic of the sign. They have a dinner and movie package. Looked like a hood deal since they are next door to the theater.

    Came with a pube. I asked for the Monterey Chicken without a black pubic hair, but I guess the server didn't hear me because they still threw one in there. Yeaaaaaah, it's a no from me dawg.

    Receipt demonstrating the "packaging fee."

    Update: The owner of Cafe Savor reached out to me to relay that I was mistakenly charged the $9.00 "packaging fee" and the correct charge was supposed to be approximately 30 cents or less. The owner kindly refunded the fee and made the situation right. The owner relayed that a sign explaining the new packaging fee in more detail is posted in their restaurant. I have been a long-time customer of Cafe Sabor and have always enjoyed their food. I ordered their well-known burrito special to-go, and when I went to pay, I was unpleasantly surprised to discover that I was charged an $8.60 "packing fee." This fee was never brought to my attention when I called to order. I asked for clarification, and the waitress told me it was the fee charged for packaging up my meal, but I feel this price is inflated when you consider it is more than the actual burrito meal. I understand that prices are rising with inflation, but I still feel like this is a little much. I am very disappointed that this occurred, and had I known the outrageous fee, I would have dined in for my meal. Heed my warning, if you decide to take your burrito special to-to, be prepared to pay more than double the price.

    Carnitas and Asada Tacos
    Ryan I.

    Came to try out their tacos because I had read they just won the award for the best Mexican restaurant in IF but unfortunately left feeling a little disappointed. For starters, they are really expensive when compared to other taquerias. If you come on Tuesday and buy their taco promotion it softens the financial blow somewhat, however, even then I would still consider them to be rather expensive. I ordered the asada and carnitas tacos. Both were good but considering they're 2x more expensive than other joints I was expecting the experience to be elevated as well. It wasn't. They were good but not great and definitely not worth it at the menu price point.

    Fried ice cream. Perfect for 4!!!!

    First, we where seated fairly fast, within 5 minutes. It looked like low staff, but the service was still fantastic. They gave us warm chips and salsa, the salsa isn't chunky which I like, but some like chunky salsa. Anyways the salsa was great. I'm at the table right now and so far so good. Update... It has been probably 10-15 minutes since we ordered, and our food just got here. I can already see the presentation is fantastic and mouth watering. Pictures don't do it justice. Done eating... The food was really good. I got the chicken pollo fundo, which is a chicken chimichanga. It was hot and delicious. We ordered dessert, fried ice cream. It was a big scoop, probably the size of a softball and perfect for 4 people, especially after the meals. It was really good, all in all really good, I will be coming back! Bonus thought. Sis had the veggie burrito and said the veggies where amazing Dad had the steak, said seasoned well and was pretty good. The chimichanga where the perfect crunchiness Water was good, usually water at some places taste like tap but this tasted good. They deserve a 4.5 star average for yelp.

    The food was tasty, they have a full bar and they had signs for events and deals that looked good.

    So bland. Service is good and staff was friendly. When you have lived in CA, AZ and TX you have an expectation of quality Mexican food. This restaurant is safe for those who are afraid of some spice and flavor. I ordered the combo with 2 shredded beef tacos and a shredded beef enchilada. There is no enchilada sauce. It's covered in melted cheese (Which the grease from saturated the bottom of my tacos and I could not pick up to eat. Shredded beef did not taste bad, just did not really have any "wow". Beans and rice were fine. Chips were good. Salsa was like the food. Instead of Cafe Sabor it should be Cafe Insipido.

    Daniel the manager does bananas foster at the table. Absolutely delish and unique!
    Chuck S.

    I always love they are willing to change entrees to fit my tastes. I wanted all white cheese on my burrito with the rice and beans on the outside, no problem. Can you caramelize the veggies on the steak fajitas, no problem. They aim to please, just ask.

    We've eaten here for years now. It's our fave for Mexican food in I.F.!…read more Morenita's is a small & simple place -- but don't let that deter you. They ROCK IT for authentic Mexican food! And they have the Mexican ladies in the kitchen to prove it IS the real deal. (Be sure to tell them "¡Gracias!" when you pick up your food at the high-counter pickup window. Even tho' you can't see them, they can usually hear you! Makes their day. Better still, drop 'em a tip when you pay - they really appreciate it.) Morenita's TACOS are the best in town! They have the house-cooked meat of your choice. Be ready to state your meat pref. at the register. They will ask for your choice. (See my attached MENU PICS for Meat Options.) Most TACOS are made with a larger-sized, white corn tortilla - that oddly but wonderfully tastes like a mix of corn and flour! SO good! (Their "STREET TACO is smaller.) TYPES OF TACOS: Not sure what kind of taco to get? * CHUCHE: Opt for the CHUCHE TACO if you don't need a lot of fanfare (extra toppings), and you like a crisp cabbage crunch in every bite, + some melted cheesy goodness. * RANCHERO: If you DO like all the fixin's - including (a few/not too much) WHOLE beans, pico, onion, tomato, cilantro, avocado, sour cream + a little kick of jalapeño - the TACO RANCHERO is my first-choice fave! * SUPREME: If you like all that same stuff (w/ your choice of meat) - but prefer REFRIED beans and NO jalapeños - go for the TACO SUPREME. OTHER ITEMS: PIZOPE: If you're really hungry, the PIZOPE has similar toppings as a taco, but is a LOT more food! (And cheese.) The PIZOPE is super filling, and great for 2 to share if you don't have big appetites. NACHOS: The SUPER NACHOS are a big win for a family or group 'cuz they're so easily shared - and are just a HUGE pile of delish! (While I HAVE seen a hungry teenage boy or two eat them ALL before, it's rare for most people to finish a plate alone!) About their MEAT CHOICES: * You can never go wrong with their tender BARBACOA (shredded BEEF). There is a 50c or $1 upcharge for that on most dishes. * CARNITAS (shredded PORK) is a popular, delish meat choice, with no upcharge. * I personally find the grilled steak, CARNE ASADA, to be rather dry and gristly for my own pref. But others seem to like it. No upcharge. * If you're feeling adventurous, you must try the BEEF CHEEK as a meat choice! It is super tender & full of flavor! Upcharge applies (50c for tacos, $1 for burritos, as examples.) * FISH (Tilapia) currently (Jan. 2026) has a high cost for substituting as a meat choice. But there is no upcharge for a FISH TACO, as far as I know. HOW THE PLACE ROLLS: * At Morenita's you pay upon ordering, so no tip is required. (But I personally think the sweet older ladies who bus the tables as fast as they can keep up - and work SO hard to keep the restaurant clean, even when the line goes out the door at times - are very deserving of even a minimal or modest tip.) * After you order you will seat yourself at a booth or a table. Be aware that it's a very small place, so seating is "cozy" - so if it's a busy time, you will sit quite close to others. (At the busiest times you may need to take your meal To Go.) * You will listen for your ticket #, found in a black box near top of the receipt. That # will be called out in English and Spanish from the cash register area. TIP: Ask your phone how to say that number in Spanish. (As a Spanish teacher/translator, I hear it better in Spanish than I do in English now, haha!) * When done eating, you clear your own table. Use the trash cans at the back, or at the front by the main door. (Don't throw away their plates or silverware!) If you do not bus it, then please, kindly leave a cash tip for the ladies who bus it for you. * SAUCES IN THE MINI-FRIDGE! Stop at the fridge in the back to grab a couple bottles of SAUCE! Just be sure to put them back when you're done with 'em! And if it's really busy, sauce up at your table and run them back, asap. Our faves: * CHIPOTLE SAUCE (light orange) = mild & creamy * GREEN SAUCE w/ SEEDS = medium PARTING WORDS OF WISDOM: Common courtesy prevails at a cozy, often busy little place like Morenita's! From the parking lot to table clean-up, we can make the dining experience of others better by being helpful, patient, kind, and friendly. We can make someone's day better. This is America, and it's Idaho! May we each be the good example of civility and kindness we ought to be. Let's treat others who may be strangers to us, like friends and family. 'Strangers' are friends we just don't know yet. And we can also show appreciation for the hard workers in our great town who provide a clean place to eat, and a warm, delicious meal when we want it. A little kindness ALWAYS goes a long way.

    The food, while presented as authentic, is easily catered to americanized taste buds. I had the…read morebreakfast burrito without potatoes. That's one thing I don't like about Mexican food breakfast burritos--to much potato, but they fixed it up, added extra egg and cheese to fill up the massive tortilla without extra charge. I got it smothered in cheese and green sauce, omgosh it was sooo tasty, and the relleno is one of the better ones in Idaho falls. Honestly, it's hard to go wrong with green chille & cheese, but some manage to. Morenitas smothers their's in a tasty red sauce. They have a wide variety of drinks, and wide selection of beers( pretty sure all bottled) the service, there was no communication gap. It was high energy, talkative, helpful, and she seemed genuinely happy to be there--nice change. They give you a buzzer to come pick up your food. They are pretty busy, and keep costs down by not running it out to your table, but the dining room is not very big, with multiple bench tables big enough to seat like 5. Anyway, grabbing the food is worth the "taste." The atmo, well not horrible, but a little tooo..shared, cafeteria like...it was ok, i could hear who was with me (she gave 5 stars) but it was bright and open .. didn't feel like a place to kick back and enjoy this great food.

    It was very authentic food especially when considering that the menu is only in Spanish and just…read moreone person working there spoke English. The food was a bit hit or miss. The Quessabirria looked amazing but only tasted of grease which dripped freely all over everything. The carne asada burrito was ok. The meat didn't really stand out and it only tasted of beans, lettuce and sour cream. The two things that were good were the two pork taco options. The pork carnitas had the most amazing texture I've ever been lucky to try. It was moist and crunchy from the flat top. It is definitely worth giving this meat choice a try in anything they have. The true star though was the Adobada tacos. They were amazing. There was tons of meat with so much flavor. These were the best Adobada I've ever had anywhere. I think the highs were very high but the lows were just as low. They have decent salsas but if you can't take a good bit of heat you won't be able to handle even the weakest one. Definitely worth checking out.

The green sauce was tasty without being overpoweringly spicy and the shrimp was cooked well and not overdone. Portion was generous in the rice and beans were tasty. The rest of my party all enjoyed their meals and so I would guess that any issues I may have had were a result of being busy and possibly slightly understaffed. Overall, this was a good experience, and I would definitely return! They have a great crowd for the jazz night, and I think it's fantastic that they are having this kind of entertainment in a small town.
