I like the food here a lot, I especially like their salsa. My husband and I are happy and satisfied when we leave....usually. I came in on Memorial Day afternoon with my whole family after recommending the place. We waited to be seated for so long, we lost patience and left. They were so understaffed and not communicating. It was such a bummer experience. read more

Highly operated. Service was fair but not attentive, could be a lack of help. More hostesses than waiters. Food was average at best. My wife's tostada was a wet mess and my burrito was large and messy. Chips and salsa was good tho. read more

If you want some great Mexican food this is the place to go. The service is amazing and the staff is very friendly. The deep fried ice cream is a must for dessert. read more

Cafe Sabor - Mexican Near Me - Layton, Utah

Went here the other day for the first time just because it was convenient to the train station where I picked up my spouse and we were in a hurry. WOW! it was difficult to decide what to order because it all sounded so good! I hadn't ordered yet and was already thinking about what I was going to have the next time I came. The service was great and the food was as good as it sounded on the menu. We were there about 4:00 in the afternoon so I don't know what it's like at a time when it's more busy but I was more than pleasantly surprised considering staffing problems post COVID and we will return again. read more

I'd eaten at the Logan location years ago but this was our first time at the Layton location. The service was quick and friendly. Food was delicious and so were the chips and Salsa. We will for sure come back again. read more

Guacamole was hands down the BEST I've had in a long time! Mom had mango shrimp and loved it. I had the tamale which was good but nothing out of this world. Tortilla soup was good but nothing to write home about. I ordered Chile Relleno but didn't eat it even after taking it home with me. I heard it was good from yelp. Spicy salsa was yummy too. Cute restaurant in an old refurbished train station. Waited a bit longer than expected even reserving on yelp. They sell THE BEST chocolates in the front, local chocolates. read more

So many positives about our dining experience today. The atmosphere and decor are welcoming and comfortable. The prices were very reasonable and service was outstanding. I look forward to trying their other dishes. Parking seems to be a little bit of an issue, but not a deal breaker. read more

Cafe Sabor - Comfortable atmosphere! - Mexican Near Me - Layton, Utah

See all

Chips and salsa were pretty good, which got my hopes up about the food. Sadly the food was bland and boring. It would be wonderful if Davis County could get a good Mexican restaurant. The service wasn't great either. We went without water refills after asking a few times and I'm not sure we ever saw our server smile. The decor is fun and lively but I wouldn't recommend the food. read more

The food is fresh and and tasty. The manager, server and staff were all first class. - the guacamole appetizer was very fresh, more like cut up ( not minced) chunks of avocado - fajitas for 2 (special) were $19 (chicken, steak and shrimp). The meat had no fat or weirdness like most places. Also includes a giant portion of rice, beans, guacamole, sour cream,cheese, choice of homemade flour or corn tortillas -spinach dip is the bomb (will definitely get that again) - chips and salsa were fantastic. They initially give you the mild salsa, but I would highly recommend the hot salsa - $3 margarita Friday's - 'nuff said The atmosphere is like modern Mexican farmhouse - it's cool. My spouse and I have always wanted a great Mexican restaurant up north and have finally found it. read more

I am a foodie and eat out quite a bit and I was really giving high hopes to this place because they have redone the building so nicely and the inside looks extremely appealing. When the chips and salsa came out one of the salsas was excellent another one was very oily which I did not understand the oil was floating on the top. I ordered a chimichanga that was supposed to be smothered in red sauce when it came out there was maybe a Teaspoon of red sauce on top. Very bland and no flavor. My server was very attentive. The service was good but unfortunately I will not be returning. ***We called the manager when we left and he said some of the food they have to make bland???! I've never heard of people that like to pay for bland food... read more

Love this place. Very consistent with their food- which I love. It's nice to know that you're going to get what you want. Sarah is amazing too- she's fun, kind, and is always on her game read more

While waiting for the front runner heading to SLC, I stumbled upon this restaurant that was right there at the same parking lot. With my stomach growling and eager of hunger, I've decided to walk-in and try their food. Immediately saw service and they walked me to the closest table. Service handed me the menu and of course I had to go through it. Service asked what I would like to drink in the meantime and of course I ordered water. Not knowing what other drinks they had and I was lazy to look for drinks on the menu. Service left and came back with my water. Ordered appetizer then my food which I believe was enchiladas. Service took my order, came back with my food minutes later and sat my food down on my table. The savory flavor, juicy shredded beef, mouth watering, fit for a king. I very much enjoyed my time here with no pressure. I thanked them, left a tip and made my way out the door. Good/fast service, enjoyable food, filling. I would recommend! read more

I love the fact that this is an old train station the decor inside is pretty cool. The food was good overall a good value for the money I would go there again. read more

The salsa was REALLY good until I noticed the layer of oil settling on top. That was very unappealing. I didn't eat any more after that. It's hard to find vegetarian/vegan/WFPB options at some restaurants, and this one offered a veg burrito or any of their pasta options, sans meat. The pasta sauces mostly looked like they contained dairy, with the exception of a pesto sauce. I went with the vegetarian burrito, it was ok. Not terrible. I'm sure the veggies were grilled on some oil but that's almost always the case when you're out and about. If you want amazing Mexican food with a great vegan menu, hit up Sonora Grill in Ogden. 2 stars for oily salsa. read more

Cafe Sabor - Not sure why the salsa has to have oil added to it. Google says it emulsifies the flavors?! Not appealing. - Mexican Near Me - Layton, Utah

Service was great, food was good, and deep fried Ice cream? Delicious. This was my first time at Cafe Sabor. I had the Tacos al Carbon. The food was Americanized (refried beans and rice on a hot plate with the tacos). The chips and salsa were similar to stuff you can buy at the grocery store. Good flavor in the salsa, but not a stand out. The servers were really friendly and timely. We didn't have to wait long for service. Overall, it was a good experience and I recommend giving Cafe Sabor a try. read more

The food is always delicious and the staff is extremely good. I have not had anything here that I would not recommend but the carne asada is my favorite. read more

The food was great as always, but I couldn't believe we were charged $3.35 extra for a take-out "packaging fee"! They just put the food in the same pie tins as Costa Vida. What's up with that!! That is absurd! read more

Cafe Sabor was a treasure to stumble upon! The food is delicious and they have great drink specials! They keep Wasatch Jalapeño Cream Ale on tap and Friday's margaritas are a great way to end the week ;) I always get the tacos or fajitas and their homemade salsa is amazing. I gave them 4 stars instead of 5 because the service definitely needs some work. I've literally NEVER seen a manager there and they only have bartenders like twice a week. read more

The street tacos were tasty. We didn't really enjoy the Durango chicken. Our service was great and the waiter was on top of water and chip refills. read more

We LOVE Cafe Sabor ... from Island Park Idaho to St George UT. Stopped in Layton location today!!! 10 out of 10 Great service, thanks Sarah great food great atmosphere CLEAN, fast YUMMY!!! read more

Been here 25-30 times. Once was enough for me but it's close to my house and my husband isn't picky. As long as it's edible he's good with it. We're here now with an obnoxious waitress who's treating the "chip & drink" girl so rudely that I want to leave. I have no hope for yummy food because as many times as I've been here it's never been good. Tonight the waitress told me they are now charging to add onions to my cheese enchiladas! I ordered their "Choose any 2" plate and had them hold the rice and beans. So I'll be paying $8.50 for 2 cheese enchiladas PLUS an UP charge for onions and that's all I'm getting. Heaven help me! Please, someone, put in a decent Mexican restaurant! read more

Is catering to customers dead? This place needs training on customer service! Not sure how the seating works here. Arrived and asked for a four top. Was told the wait would be about 45 minutes, even though there wasn't very many people in the waiting area. I'm guessing they have a call ahead seating or a text system where people wait in their cars? Not sure. I wish I knew. It would be great if there was signage stating if there is call ahead reservations. People kept coming in from outside and get seated immediately. Got seated and within 5 minutes our server brought chips and salsa. Placed our order shortly after, but asked the waitress to change the fries on a kid meal to rice and was told a very firm NO, the order was already in. I have been a waitress and I know it's very easy to go tell the kitchen, or just simply ask the kitchen for a side of rice. That's a big disappointment. 20 minutes in, refills offered on chips but no salsa. We didn't have napkins and utensils. Salsa is good but chips don't seem to be made here, store bought and lacking flavor. Shrimp enchiladas were pretty flavorless. I remember the food and service being so much better last time. It was a let down. read more

This was our favorite Mexican restaurant until yesterday. Terrible service. Hostess was not out front. After waiting a few minutes we walked in and she was annoyed we had found her. Things only got worse with our waitress Carmen. She sounded annoyed taking our orders, never actually brought anything to our table (the bar tender did) and conveniently could never take any plates away. The worst was when she brought the bill. We ordered a combo that included dessert and she said they were out of fried Ice cream and for kids desserts they only had banana flavor so she figured it wasn't worth ordering. We asked to speak to a manager because she had also charged for a soda that was supposed to be included in the combo but the manager of course " was busy". Overall very rude and won't be eating here again. read more

Great food, really good quesadilla's and shrimp enchiladas. Expensive for what you get, but is good quality.

Yummy food. The chips and salsa are so good and I've only had good service. I would recommend Car Sabor.

Whether you call it Mexican or Tex-mex, it's one of our favs. The service has been hit and miss, but mostly very positive. We've been several times and got something different each time. We've loved the food. It was relatively quick in coming. The food was done perfectly and even for those who requested variations like no sour cream, etc. they got it just right. We love this place! read more

They have done a really nice job remodeling the building while maintaining the historic exterior. The food is good as well! Chips and salsa are great. Fajita Burrito was excellent, shrimp quesadillas had a nice kick, and don't forget to get your guacamole! Only thing missing was some speedy service. They felt understaffed for evening business. read more

Cafe Sabor - Fajita Burrito - Mexican Near Me - Layton, Utah

One of our favorite local restaurants - excellent Mexican food with unique twists! The establishment has great history, being the old train station in Layton. Service is always top notch, food is fresh and delicious as well as very reasonably priced! A great place for a meal or take out! read more

i really like cafe sabor! their mild salsa is really yummy but the spicy one is too spicy for me. I love their burritos and it's always quick service! probably my favorite mexican food in davis county. easily. highly recommend coming here with a date or your family read more

A little pricey but the food is good. It's hard to find good Mexican Food in Layton and Cafe Sabor is always on point. Great service!

Ordered take out and when I showed up, order was ready and hot. I took off and didn't realize until I got home that one of my dishes was missing. I called the restaurant and they quickly offered to make it and deliver the missing item. Before we could even finish our family dinner, one of the employees knocked on my door with the missing dish. I was super impressed that they came and did it so quickly, especially when I live about 10 minutes away. Definitely coming back, they care about their customers. read more

Instant Sick. My stomach feels like the guy in alien... you know, where the alien bursts through his chest, except the alien is a runt and keeps trying to break out without success. Don't even try this place. Eat anywhere else, it isn't worth the pain. read more

Food is great! Service was terrible! Floor was filthy with garbage and food all over the floor. Had to get up and find our waitress 3 times even to pay! Manager sat at the end of the bar the whole time with no offer of assistance. Each time went for help the employees were on their phones. Have been here many times, but definitely will be my last. This place is going down the hole! So sad to see! No problems at other locations. read more

Not bad for Utah Mexican food. Being from AZ, I am always hesitant to eat Mexican food, afraid it won't compare to back home. Green chili was very mild, but good. Chips/salsa and guacamole were good as well. Interior decore was kinda plain, but clean, staff was as expected. Give it a try. read more

Wow!!!!! Such fantastic flavorful food and drinks! I got the steak picado and it was so full of flavor. The food and atmosphere makes you feel like you're not in Layton, Utah. Love this place. read more

Service was excellent. Food was decent. If you're expecting really authentic Mexican food then this isn't quite there. If you're looking for great service, good food and a nice atmosphere, then give it a try and make your own decision. read more

We had gone a long time without eating here. We decided to give it a chance recently but we were quite disappointed. I had to remind myself that this is a café not a restaurant. The service was poor and the food was very disappointing. read more

This is not authentic Mexican food. Actually, I'm not sure what kind of food it is, but its not Mexican. My husband and I are avid Mexican food eaters. We eat Mexican food at least twice a week. Back to Cafe Sabor.....They seated us up stairs where it was about 90 degrees. No air-conditioning!!!!! Our waiter was very nice, but dripping with sweat. I can see why, he had to go up and down the stairs for everything and in the heat. Poor guy! The menu was very limited. I got a bean and cheese burrito and cheese enchilada. I didn't think you could mess up either one of those two. I was wrong. The enchilada sauce, was a thick bland orange goop. There was no flavor in the rice. My husband got the shrimp fajita burrito. I think the shrimp were boiled. Completely flavorless. We were very disappointed. All of the windows were open upstairs and they were apologizing that it was so hot. read more

Location in old train depot. Food is good, not exceptional. Many things are rather bland. Portions are good size. Mild salsa is more like marinara sauce. "Hot" salsa is pretty good. Service is friendly. The servers have been good. Sometimes very crowded. read more

Original review was one star: Had reservations. Showed up early. Waited 25 min and finally left. All we got was a smirk and a canned sorry from the hostess. Poorly managed restaurant. Update: same day the owner personally contacted me and apologized for the poor management. He said they had a large party upstairs and the manager didn't adjust the reservation schedule. The owner was kind, transparent, and genuinely concerned. I'm very impressed with his responsiveness and I will give this business another try. Due to this owners amazing response and approach, I'm chasing my review to 5 stars based on management response. read more
