First time here, grabbed some dinner before heading to Wicked. Both of us got pasta dishes that I forgot to take a picture of but it was okay. It reminded me a lot of the pasta dishes at Etto. The bread was a bit under cooked and I'm not what the diced tomato was, we thought possibly Bruschetta, but it was all so bland. The espresso martinis came in these clunky martini glasses that almost caused me to spill my drink a few times. Server was really nervous when talking that I couldn't understand half of what he said. It was all just an uncomfortable weird atmosphere. I will definitely give this place another try in the next few months after the holidays. read more

The food was good, but not great. Atmosphere was good, but the place was among the loudest I've experienced. Conversation more than 1 seat away was a challenge. Service started off great, but fell off quickly as the place filled up. A couple of "wrong entree moments" that took a long time to rectify. Table for 10 had entrees dribbling in over a span of 6 or 7 minutes. We sampled a couple of well-regarded restaurants in Paso Robles. This place may compare favorably against its local peers, but less so against what we experience in other cities. read more

The is definitely a date night place. It has a romantic feel to it. The service was amazing. And the food was delicious. If you decide to go here, do yourself a favor, get the Corn Souffle. It is life changing. read more

First let's start off with the fresh baked bread! I mean it's hot! Ohhh so yummy! The server said it was freshly baked foccasia bread and the dipping sauce is an olive dip with sundried tomatoes, olive oil and that's he could disclose! I don't blame them, the dipping sauce was sooooooo good we had 2 servings of it I booked our diner date via Yelp and it was so easily to book, confirm and just show up. The ladies in the front were very nice and inviting. The inside of the restaurant has an intimate and relaxed atmosphere. You see servers getting it done and taking care of their responsibilities to each table. I forgot our servers name but he was about 6'2, and very knowledgeable on each menu item. As we went by our night I decided to ask a young lady to give compliments to the show on such an amazing meal. She goes on to say that she is the General Manager for the restaurant and that her Dad is the Executive Chef‍In addition, she started saying the bartender is a cousin, her brothers are servers and some uncles (might be wrong on the uncle part) work in the kitchen as well. I was talking to my Fiancé and thought....what an amazing story she shared. Oh, it was so heartfelt and meaningful The Chef came out to say hello and he gave us some insight on his goals and aspirations. Truly a story of grit and perseverance! I don't ever post pictures with me in it but this will have to be a first‍ Come out and try this restaurant as you will not be disappointed! read more

We were looking forward to dining here based on the reviews we read but unfortunately were disappointed. We were seated promptly on arrival. There was a nice heater by the hostess stand outside the restaurant. Great on a chilly day like today. After we ordered our food, we were asked if we would like some bread. The bread was warm but very thinly sliced. It was served with a tapenade which was tasty. We ordered a Greek salad to start but what was served was more of a spinach salad with some feta cheese, very few tomatoes and cucumbers. Tasted good but it wasn't a Greek salad by any means. We were asked if we wanted more bread. The bread arrived cold but was cut in bigger chunks this time. Bread was fresh and tasted good. For our entree, my husband ordered the quinoa salad with the grilled octopus. We got a very similar salad as the Greek salad with some quinoa sprinkled on the salad. It was primarily made with spinach! The octopus was over grilled and was a disappointment. I had the Frutte de Mar which had very little shrimp( about 4 pieces; it was cut up and not served whole) , a few slivers of scallops, nice amount of clams and tons of sliced calamari which was overcooked. The sauce on the pasta dish tasted good but overall was disappointing. The proportion of the seafood was uneven. Definitely not worth $35 price! Decided to skip dessert. Nice touch: Jose, the son of the owner, stopped by to introduce himself and chatted with us about the restaurant and their future plans. Really appreciated the personal touch. Restaurant was a little noisy but it was pretty full so it was not a surprise. I may give this another try next time I'm in Paso Robles and hope for a better experience. read more

The food was good, but they need to be upfront about their cocktail menu. I asked for a Negroni and was told they couldn't make it. I then asked if they had gin and they said yes, they just couldn't make a Negroni. Turns out they don't have gin, they are licensed for only wine and beer, so they can only make sake/wine inspired drinks. Again, food was good, but don't like being misled about the cocktails. https://www.abc.ca.gov/licensing/license-lookup/single-license/?RPTTYPE=15&DBANAME=Sabor+CHR%2838%29+Sazon read more

Came up from Palm Springs and had dinner here for the first time. This restaurant is outstanding and I very highly recommend this place. I had the lamb and my fiancé had the Alaskan Halibut. So flavorful and the sauces are excellent. I actually think of this place as a fine French restaurant. I think it may be one of the best restaurants I have enjoyed dinner in and I am a foodie. read more

We stopped in for lunch on our way from San Diego to Santa Cruz. Picked this restaurant for ease off the 101 and ability to make a reservation. Here you go: Food - 3/5: While the overall quality was closer to a 4, there were a couple missteps that brought our opinion down. The Caesar salad was not cold enough and we had to ask for freshly ground pepper on top; there was a considerable amount of oil used and puddled in all pasta dishes; the warm mini toast was nice but only a tiny cup of bruschetta was brought out for our table of four; and the pasta with garlic and oil lacked seasoning. The standout dish was the chicken Marsala - delicious! Loved the added onions. Service - 3/5: While service was attentive (we were the only table at 12pm on a Saturday), it felt strangely forced and awkward. They have put a hostess stand outside the entrance and the young lady was not very friendly. Odd. Finally after being the only customers for 30 minutes, another couple was seated. Little things were off: missing silverware, requested items (extra plate) were forgotten, and no water refills. They told us they've only been open 6 months so perhaps they are still working it out. Vibe 2/5: There are 5 booths lining one wall, about 12 tables, and 10 bar seats. We wanted to like it and appreciated the very clean dining room and restrooms but couldn't get past the emptiness and awkwardness of the employees. Final Verdict: probably would not come back or recommend with so many other choices nearby. read more

In May 2025 we had a late lunch at Sabor & Sazón. Their burger was so good that I am still thinking about it! March 2026: Dinner seating at the bar -- we felt fortunate to get in on a Friday, as it was bustling and tables were full. Our meals were outstanding (I had bandeja paisa), and we were treated extra-specially with cleverly-made cocktail shots and flan. Chef Jorge came out from the kitchen to greet us too. No burgers currently on the dinner menu, but it's a guarantee we will return. Hubby and I loved our entire dining experience, made top-notch by the excellent food and the charming & personable family who hauls butt to provide great meals. read more

Our new FAVORITE restaurant in Paso! They haven't been open for long but their food blew us away! Appetizers are a must try ---pastelitos: YUM, everyone in our group loved these, and one person joked they could order more of them to make an entree ---corn souffle: light and a unique corn dish! ---sea bass: PERFECTLY cooked, just wow ---bandeja paisa: everyone component of this dish was spot ON! The hubby loved it All the desserts were also delicious! They change up their menu, but I hope they keep these winners! read more

My husband and I celebrated our 3 year Wedding anniversary with them and they did not disappoint. Their menu offers a good variety of food choices especially with seafood. I enjoyed their lomo saltado and my husband their filet mignon all good, for dessert we ordered the crème brûlée and it did not disappoint. They knew about our anniversary and shared a detail with us of a personalized card with a pink rose! It was a nice touch. Customers service was great all around. We went on a Monday night and it was a pretty quiet and chill atmosphere. read more

Sabor & Sazon - Shrimp pappardelle and Lomo Saltado - Latin American Near Me - Paso Robles, California

My boyfriend took me to this restaurant and we left incredibly disappointed. The name "Sabor and Sazón" gave off the impression that there would be a selection of different Latin American inspired dishes however, more than half of the menu is filled with Italian cuisine. Both of the dishes that we ordered were predominately filled with carb-heavy fillers such as roasted potatoes and french fries. The dishes were VERY over-priced for what the servings were; they couldn't have been more mediocre. Even the complimentary focaccia was very disappointing, it tasted more like crumbly corn bread. To top it off, there was an insect in my water glass. We don't mind paying for meals that are worth it, but we were both disillusioned by the misleading name and high price points. read more

I read server's like poker opponents and was delighted with Janeth's insight on this International fusion menu. Pappardelle pasta w juicy char-grilled chicken was a hit for my partner but second to my glass of LXV Red wine (I should've gotten two) paired with their grilled octopus appetizer & red snapper main. It all just worked incredibly well to complete our week of Paso culinary adventures. #BradyEats read more

Dinner menu is different from lunch menu. Went in for dinner and were seated immediately. Water, bread and bruschetta was quickly brought to the table. Everything was delicious. We ordered the corn soufflé and if you like uchepos, you will love this. It's offered as an appetizer but can definitely be a dessert. The pasta was flavorful. The sea bass and filet mignon were perfectly cooked. The sea bass was not fishy. The pork chop was also delicious which my husband said he'd order next time for sure. Jorge Jr came by and introduced himself and gave us a little run down of the family business and their history. It was nice to support a small business. It was elegant without feeling overdone with a variety of customers inside. Would definitely return. Oh, we were also told that they plan to rotate their menu every 4 months. read more

I was greeted when I walked to the door, decided to sit at the bar, and to be served by Jimmy. Jorge came by and introduced himself. I started with a mojito, which was fresh, cold, and delicious. The bread and 'butter' was fresh and melted in your mouth. The Corn Souffle was oersonal to Jor, his father would take him to McAuthet Park and buy him Corn tamales. This was his nod to his father and those days as a youngster. The souffle was light and delicious - could use a little more Corn favor over the fontana cheese. I was going to try thr Sea Bass but they have Osso Buco as the special. The Osso Buco was hot and delicious. The meat was tender and fell off the bone. The sauce was mild and tasty. The rossoto was creamy and smooth. Overall, it was a great experience. read more

This was probably the biggest disappointment I've ever experienced in a restaurant. The name 'Sabor & Saźon' implies that there would be interesting latin food at this restaurant. Don't be fooled. The menu is almost exclusively italian and the dishes that are latin are very uninspired. The dishes we had were essentially a decent protein propped up by some basic filler items like fries or roasted vegetables. All of the food was decent, but not exceptional. The only thing exceptional was the price. And to top it off we found an insect in our water. It was not a bad experience, but definitely not worth the price we were asked to pay for it. read more

Food was amazing. Service was amazing. Very small quaint place. We really enjoyed the food. My only suggestion is they really need to improve their mixed drinks. We ordered two lemon drops and we had to send them back. They were so bad. Still giving them five stars because everything else was awesome. read more

Great service. Great ambience. Would definitely go back again to this family run restaurant.

Deliciously unique food. This town needed more cuisine options. Run by a friendly family with a flair for this industry.

This is a must experience. Food, Service, Ambience all 5 star! Chef Jorge's creative approach to classic dishes are delicious. My husband is a "Meat and Potato" guy from Chicago and he was duly impressed. From the appetizers to the fish special. He loved the Barramundi special - fresh white fish on a bed of mashed potatoes with a lemon caper sauce, light and filling! PS. I had a delicious pasta dish, amazing. Our server Kristina was attentive, fun, and gave great recommendations from the menu, including wine! Meet Belyn, part of the family who shared the story of how this restaurant came to be a reality. If you enjoy warmth, delicious food and good people. Sabor&Sazon is a MUST TRY! We will definitely be back. read more

This place was recommended by our Wine Host, Sean, at Serial Tasting room. This restaurant did NOT disappoint! Started with the grilled calamari. It came with other seafood in a super tasty sauce. Also had the roasted veggie salad with balsamic vinaigrette. So delish! Our entree was the shrimp pappardelle pasta. Soooo delish! Terrific service too! Prices are way reasonable for the quality of food/service we received! Def a restaurant to talk about! read more

First time here - Fantastic food & great quality service. I did a reservation 4 weeks before hand for my fiancé's birthday dinner on Tuesday, March 11th, 2025. We were seated quickly. Amazing service by Alaina - she was super quick. The service team all together was great and very attentive. We also met Jorge Jr. - he was great! Helped us decide what entrees were really good. He was very detailed and sold us on what dishes to order. We ordered the featured appetizer, shrimp tempura w/ sweet & sour sauce & chipotle sauce. Super delicious! We ordered the Rack of lambs & Lomo Saltado dishes. Both were magnificent & well made. We will definitely come back when we visit again! Thank you for the great experience. read more

Service - 5 stars Olive dip - 4 stars Cocktails - 2 stars (stick to wine, they do not have a liquor license for real liquor) Food - 1 star We've been in Paso all week and have had excellent food everywhere. This was our last dinner before heading home and was looking forward to a great meal but instead left incredibly disappointed. The cocktails were not good but we could overlook that if the food was great (or even decent). We ordered the filet mignon medium rare, got it overcooked and dry. Completely unacceptable at a restaurant supposedly at a high caliber. The salmon came overcooked and dry. The red snapper special was also overcooked, dry, and over seasoned (too salty). The 2 pasta dishes we ordered were good but also over seasoned. We didn't bother to send anything back as we didn't want to deal with the awkwardness of telling them every dish sucked. The kids were hungry, didn't want to wait further, and just wanted to eat and leave. Overall - underwhelming experience, subpar food, overpriced for a meal that could have came from Applebees. We left mad that we paid $300 for a mediocre meal. No shade to the staff though, they were very nice but quality of food left much to be desired. read more

This place is amazing! We were looking for a good steak and decided to give this a try. We ordered the ribeye and it was probably one of the most delicious I've had! We enjoyed it so much.
