We ordered the steak tacos and wings with hot sauce. Nice size wings, cooked perfectly and so tasty. Tacos had lots of very tender beef and just amazing flavor. The tacos have pickled carrots onions and radishes on it with peppery lettuce. The restaurant was busy so a bit noisy but able to talk easily. Both Cara and Krista were friendly and professional. We will definitely be back to try more menu items. Parking was a bit tight.

We also got drinks which I did not take a picture of, it was a frozen mango margarita and a passion fruit sunrise and both were just the right amount of alcohol and flavor. We went around mid day so the restaurant was not busy at all. All services provided were quick and efficient and we were in and out in about an hour and a half. I would definitely recommend this spot for any seafood lovers!

My teenager daughter couldn't finish her seafood boil and gave the rest to my younger daughter... my teenager vomited in the bathroom, when we got home my younger daughter vomited a little and her cheeks were red and blotchy. My teenager was still sick in the morning. We believe it was my teenage daughter's boil that got them sick. I was happy the bartender accommodated my drink request. I asked for a blue Long Island but to tweak it with mango. after looking at the receipt I see the server changed twice for a blue Long Island and a Long Island with mango added. Which sucks because we really liked this place and I don't think we'll be back after this.

This place was ok at best. Some of the positives was that it had a cool location across from the…read morewater. The staff friendliness was fine. The kids plate of chicken tenders was pretty big. I thought it was the adult size but they confirmed it was for kids. The not so good, the wait for the food was like 45 minutes and it was not even that busy. We got buffalo chicken dip as a starter which came out quick and it was pretty good. It had a nice buffalo flavor and was very heavy on the chicken. Once we finished it, we sat for at least 35 minutes waiting for our entrees. And the entrees were all below average. The blackened chicken sandwich was very bland. The chicken cutlet sandwich was mostly bread and the bread was below average. The mussels were good. The Thai wings were ok. Service: 7/10 Food: 5/10 I probably would not go back except for the location purposes. The Dive Bar restaurant next door is better.

I asked if they had any spiked seltzers which they didn't so settled on a $16 Paloma type drink. We decided just to get some apps to share. Guacamole was $$$ and wasn't table side and needed salt and lime. Super nachos weren't super at all the meager size of this plate of nachos was comical. For taquitos they were legit only 3 cut in small pieces. Such a rip off this place. Def not coming back.

I was really disappointed with my visit to Sabores Orange, which took over what used to be La Fonda…read moreColombiana. La Fonda was a great spot -- authentic food, warm atmosphere, and always fresh. Unfortunately, this new place doesn't live up to that standard at all. To start, there were no English menus available, which made ordering confusing. During my visit, I actually killed three flies inside the restaurant -- and there were several more buzzing around. That alone was a bad sign. The food didn't redeem the experience either. The calamari was over-fried and far from fresh. The dish with ground beef was literally ground into a dust-like texture -- completely unappetizing. The beans were cold, and the empanadas were hard, stale, and clearly re-fried; they even had an unpleasant taste. The mango juice, which I hoped would save the meal, was also a miss. Overall, it was a terrible experience from start to finish. I won't be coming back. Whatever happened between La Fonda Colombiana and Sabores Orange is truly disappointing -- the old restaurant was far better in every way.
