Chilli Rellenos were awesome, went back for more the next day for lunch. One of the best meals I had while skiing. Wide selection of tequila, and really good happy hour prices. Wide menu selection with items not typically seen on mid level Mexican food spots. Really hard to find with all the construction going on, but well worth the search. read more

View and setting was a 5 star. Food was just ok

We were in Vail for a wedding 8/3/17. We hosted our family rehearsal dinner at El Sabor on Wed., 8.2.17. I couldn't have chosen a better venue - Colby was fantastic working with me on phone and email in Fla., planning menu, etc. The food was outstanding, location beautiful and very convenient for everyone! Brian and his assistant took excellent care of our party! Our group really enjoyed the buffet, plenty of food and great flavor! Tacos being the bride & groom's favorite food , this worked out to be a hit for our crowd! A special thank you to all who assisted in preparing! Betsy Fugate Joiner, Boca Grande, FL read more

We have been searching for good Mexican food in Vail valley and we found it in el Sabor. Coming from Texas, we are pretty picky about Mexican food, and we were very impressed with the quality here. The queso and guac were a great start with a pitcher of the excellent house margaritas and then I was very impressed with my combo steak and chicken fajitas. Very high quality steak and chicken breast with some tasty seasoning. Overall I would highly recommend this place, not to mention it has a great view of the mountains and Gore Creek on the nice patio. read more

After a long week in Colorado we were looking for a hearty delicious meal and this place hit the spot. We had Elotes, shishito peppers and a shrimp burrito with mole and of course a couple cold Vail brewing Co beers. read more

Nice little place. Burrito prices are the best deal in Vail. I think they were like $3.25 and worth every penny!! So considering the good deal we got we stopped back for drinks a few times just because we were happy to find such a good deal in Vail. Thanks! read more

Great food, amazing fresh margaritas, affordable, beautiful deck with a mountain and river views. E recently had a large party there. I have also enjoyed lunch and dinner. Every time the staff was friendly and terrific! I highly recommend this restaurant read more

Hard to imagine a place with worse food than at the top of the mountain...enter El Sabor. Sorry to give this place a negative review, due to the friendly service and its great location, but it's a restaurant, and if the food is bad, nothing else matters. Canned jalapenos and roja sauce that tasted like nothing more than tomato paste and the chicken must've been boiled. It was truly flavorless. Really bad meal, even by resort-town standards. Come here for apres-ski or chips and guac and nothing else. read more

Ate here our last night in Vail, was looking for a little more casual, yummy restaurant in a lovely (comfortable) setting. Food was delicious - lots of good tastes - and service was excellent! read more

We are here on vacation and wanted Mexican food. Great service and great food and drinks!!

I was so disappointed in this place. It is in a fantastic location. Too bad they don't put a bit more energy in the food / ambiance. The service was less than mediocre. Until the bartender realized we were friends with someone he knew and then it got better. But until that he had a terrible chip on his shoulder. As if we were a bother. The food was greasy and unremarkable. Such a disappointment! I live in Vail and would love to have a great mexican place to frequent that isn't overly expensive. But this won't be the place. read more

Stopped in for a drink while waiting for my wife to finish at a conference. Enjoyed great company from locals and conversation with Sean the bartender was nice. Had a lot of fun. And like most places, if you treat your servers with respect and kindness, you will in return get quality service and product. read more

Their ginger margarita is the BEST! So is their happy hour taco deal. Favorite après spot!

Beautiful view of the river. Bar can be a little loud. I reviewed the menu prior to heading down to the restaurant last night for dinner and had my heart set on the seabass. Unfortunately, when we went to order they were running a limited menu due to it being mud season so no seabass :( We had the pork green chili and steak fajitas instead. read more

Best Mexican Food outside of Texas! Incredible views of Vail Mountain, great service and outstanding food! El Sabot chicken or fish tacos, pork green chili, guacamole... Oh my! We have enjoyed three meals here in two days!! read more

Not impressed with these guys. Food was alright it was the service that was awful! We showed up about 10 minutes before opening. Sat down outside and all I simply asked for was a glass of water. Allergies are awful out here and I just needed to take some sudafed. They told me no and said they would get to me in 10 minutes. 5 minutes later 2 other guys show up and sit 2 tables down from me. As soon as the restaurant was open even though I was the first one here and the restaurant knew that they decided to cater to the other 2 guys first. Wth dude?!? So not feeling the greatest I decided just to share the French toast with my 4 year old son. Turns out he had the appetite of a grown man and ate the majority of it. It comes with bacon and hash browns and I really didn't need that much food so I asked if I was able to order the French toast only so we got a second order. Come to find out he charged me for the whole meal and I said if you are going to charge me for all of it I want all of it and to bring out the bacon and hashbrowns. He told me again no because he already told the cooks not to make it. Um?!? This is BS! Then as we were finishing up our meal there was a lady sitting behind us and said she didn't want bacon in her omelette her food came out and she said even though she didn't want it in her omelette she would take it on the side. He was happy to go back and tell the cooks to get her bacon even though she said she didn't want it in the first place. But he just couldn't do that for us for some reason. Name on the ticket for the server said Farva. Thanks farva we won't be back again because you ruined our first experience here! read more

the best location in lionshead if you are riding, summer or winter. Great drinks, fresh squeezed lime juice and agave nectar make em standout. They also have some pretty good deals throughout the week. read more

Great food and a lot of fun. Absolutely the worst service. I bussed my table, went for menus, went to the bar for drinks, and located extra napkins. Yes, I will go back but it needs to work on this. read more

$22 sea bass should have been a clue. The tacos were dry as was the burrito. The drinks were weak and our server did not have a personality. The alarm went off making a less than pleasant evening worse. Our server brought the check without asking if we wanted dessert. My grandson left his toy. We went right back and it was not there. The server was probably upset that I left 15%, which was too much. read more

Love this place, wandered over drunk and left even more drunk. Get the cucumber margarita on a hot day and try not to fill up on the chips. This spot goes to grueling ends to provide you with authentic Mexican taste. Server was awesome and made sure to amplify our experience. Enjoy! read more

Great margs, great staff, great food, & the location is perfect! The only thing is that the colors in the restaurant are overly vibrant and hurt my eyes! The staff offered me a paper bag to put over my face which helped but it made eating my giant smothered burrito very difficult. read more

Don't get the chicken tacos. DRY and BLAND. Bartender Jeff was a nice guy and recommended the sliders or Cuban sandwich. Should have listened to him but wanted Mexican food since I was at a Mexican restaurant. Good prices but the food seems pedestrian at best. read more

I'd love to be able to critique the food, but they wouldn't serve our party of 5 at 8:00PM on Saturday night on a holiday weekend. The hostess was nice and said please have a seat anywhere you like. A waiter asked if we had a reservation . We replied no, and he said sit in the back since the other 10 tables are reserved. We sat there for 15 minutes and no one would greet us. The same server (guy with red beard) kept staring at us, but wouldn't serve us. He missed out on a $50 tip. Anyway, we went to Garfinkel's where the food and service was awesome. read more

Great value for Vail! House made juices for cocktails and pretty tasty food. Keep up the good work :)

While the setting and location were great the food lacked the flavor so easily achieved when using simple good quality ingredients to create great taste. We had the ceviche, which is the only thing we would recommend, queso fundido and pitcher of of margaritas to start. Fundido was peppers and onions topped with melted cheese. Not at all why we expected. The over seasoned over cooked chicken breast was rubbery on the salad. Everyone said the balance of flavor was terrible in the enchiladas, combo plate and fish tacos. My sons Mexican pizza was burnt at the bottom. The quesadilla was the only thing eaten by our other son. Once we sent the pizza back they were great about replacing with a child quesadilla to go. The service was pleasant, however the timing of food was very slow. They were accommodating with our bill yet we felt bad for our out of town guest that came from Chicago. I wish the restaurant well the chef and owner would benefit from watching Rick Bayles on PBS Mexico one plate at a time. Simple interpretations of great Mexican food. read more

Margaritas were great and food was delicious. Shrimp fajitas, carnitas, salmon and salad were top notch. Our server Tyler was attentive and really knew menu. read more

I've had dog food better than the sht they served today. The tacos were dry as af the guac was about American as it came. I could make better tacos with Safeway ingredients and Pet Co fish food. The managers hot sauce was the best part of the experience it was Bold! It's like the owner had never been to Mexico and had Mexican food. Pretty sad. read more

Food was good and had a nice view of the river. Good prices for vail. I had the fish tacos and my wife had shrimp fajitas. The server was a bit spacey and slow, but all and all a good experience. read more

Excellent food and drink!! I've been here twice and been extremely happy with both visits. Highly recommend El Sabor......best margaritas in Vail!! read more

I recently came to vail and decided to stop into El Sabor an authentic Latin American Restaurant. I was floored by how affordable the meals here were along with the portion sizes that went along with it. The food I had the Torta was fresh and the flavors merged together perfectly. I highly recommend this new place in vail to anyone hitting the slopes or staying in town. read more

Stopped by for dinner and was happy with my experience. El Sabor is tucked away with a view of the mountain and creek next to the Eagle Bahn gondola. The decor is no frills with a generic outdoor balcony and more of a Mexican theme indoors. To put that in context, I am currently writing this review to a Caribbean jam album playing over their speakers. Service was slow enough for me to write this while waiting for my check (quiet night too), but the staff was friendly. I opted for the three item combo, reasonably priced. The food tasted fresh and was very flavorful. The pollo tamale was my favorite of the three. Definitely recommend checking this place out. Not so much for the ambiance, but for the quality and reasonable prices. read more

The service was awfuuuuuul so slow took an 40 mins for drinks and then an hour for food. Some of our food came out cold some came hot, the caesar salad had no dressing. Do not come here read more

Gorgeous view and a decent margarita, but the food left something to be desired. Our combo plates were not well put together, sub par refried beans, and kinda pricey. Our waiter was super nice and we enjoyed sitting outside, but definitely not a go-to mexican spot. read more

The second star is only because of the views and our waitress was nice (and observant) otherwise this would be 1 star. Wife and I ordered different versions of carne asada tacos. Neither were very edible with very chewy meat that had no flavor. The Cuban corn side was good. Waitress was observant enough to bring salsa to provide a bit of moisture to the meal. read more

Great margaritas, delicious Latin American food (corn salad excellent), great prices, and awesome location. I'm from a Latino family and was impressed with the flavors. read more

We went there this summer and it was a fantastic experience. The wait staff was attentive and courteous. The food was great. I had tamales for 'tamale Tuesday.' The tomatillo sauce was very good as were the tamales. Great salsa. I would recommend this restaurant for Mexican while in Vail. read more

Great food, but awful service. It took forever to get drinks and appetizers. Our server told us he had 15 tables. C'mon, management - hire some additional staff! Probably won't eat here again. read more

Our survey was awesome, the food was great, and it's a nice place to hang out with friends without yelling a conversation to each other. Really enjoyed my time here read more
