I was so excited to have the pupusas here as I was recommended this spot. I wish I had ordered some more to go! I got a couple things to try here including the Birria tacos, chicken noodle soup, fried pork pupusa, and some pico de gallo with chips. I absolutely loved the consommé with the Birria and the meat was so tender and juicy. It wasn't too oily nor fatty. As for the pupusa, I loved the sauce that came with it and the little vegetables as well. The ratio of meat to bread was perfect for me and so well balanced. It was like the perfect bite each time. Same goes for the Birria. My only regret was not buying more pupusas to go! I don't think I'd order the pico de gallo again only because it was quite expensive for the amount. Other than that, I believe their menu is very reasonably priced. If I find myself in this area again, I know exactly where I will get food!

Delicious Tamales and Tamale de elote! Tastes like it was straight from Guatemala! I highly recommend the Tamales!

We did a pick up order from Sabor Latino in Netcong. The amount of food and the taste of each dish was unique and delicious. I didn't go to pick up the food but my husband said it was busy and feels like a nice environment to eat. We got pupusas, garnachas (which were my favorite, sopa de res, three friends, ceviche w/ chips, and there was another dish but don't recall the name. Definitely be back again and maybe eat at the restaurant.

Beef empanadas- everyone liked them

3 1/2 stars! Nice find for a Guatemalan BYO! Enjoyed dinner with friends and tried many of the dishes & enjoyed all of them. The servings are large! Quesadilla was enormous! I thoroughly enjoyed my chicken fajitas. NOTE: taco's are served in soft corn tortilla's but the tortilla's served with the fajita's are different & more puffy - I'd ask for the tortilla's you get with the taco's. Service was very good - they promptly brought us everything we asked for in terms of water, lemons, etc. The location has been many different restaurants. Location is a little difficult to get to which may be why. Plenty of parking. Interior-wise, they need to dim the lights - a little too bright for me! I noticed several people coming in to get take out. They also have a large selection of packaged baked goods that looked very interesting. Check it out - they are very nice people!

I just stopped by to order take out and found out that they just obtained their liquor license! So happy for them! Excellent restaurant! We are regular customers! They catered a brunch at my house in December for 50 people and it was fantastic! The food was amazing, VERY reasonable and Brenda and her crew are wonderful to work with!

Burrito with 2 different sauces

The food is melt in your mouth perfect. The mole sauce might be my favorite. Been here a few times and everything is always easy, pleasant and delicious as hell

I decided to try a new restaurant along with celebrating my mother's birthday. My friend had recommended it so made me want to give it a try. Now, my mother is Guatemalan and so is my husband. They are from 2 different regions so my expectations of the menu selection were big. The restaurant was very clean and neat. They have a corner with sweet breads available to buy which is a nice idea. That caught my eye because sweet breads are a staple in between meals, so I knew I was going to get some for my husband. The waitress was so friendly & awesome she is actually from Guatemala but a different region than my mom & husband, that was cool to learn & about. For appetizer I decided to try the enchiladas Guatemaltecas. Similar to what I'm used too but it was yummy and very filling. The crispy tostada bottom had a potato mixture topped with pickled beet cabbage. Sprinkled with cheese. My mom drank a mango licuado or smoothie. She enjoyed it very much. She even commented it was a fresh taste. For dinner I decided to try the Chapin platter. Chapin is the word that is used to refer that you are from Guatemala. My mom ate the shrimp tacos. My daughter ate chicken finger and fries, I didn't take a picture of the chicken fingers because they looked and tasted like any other kids chicken fingers The tacos do not come with a side dish but very pretty plated. They are priced a la carte so you have to order how many you want. It's plated with a mildly spiced tomatillo sauce and shredded radishes on the side, topped with shredded lettuce and onions. A lemon wedge on the side. The Chapin platter omggggg it was huge. It had a piece of fried crispy chicken , 2 pieces of grilled meat, rice lots of rice , black beans , macaroni salad, and slices of avocado. Definitely worth the price!!! The chicken was super crispy and well seasoned. The meat in any Latino restaurant will never be cooked to temperature thats just how it is but it's good. Black beans is a Guatemalan staple as well as tortillas that are hand made. Rice was good, the macaroni salad is not vinegary like American pasta salad it's more creamy. There was a fried egg on top as well as decorative slices of avocado. Overall everything tasted very good. I wasn't disappointed at all with taste, amount served or price!!! They are BYOB I must say there weren't any specific Guatemalan dishes on the menu that I have learned about. It's more a Central American cuisine with Mexican style tacos. With touches here and there of Guatemala. The food is very good , the option to buy sweet breads is nice too!! So I do recommend you try it but don't expect authentic Guatemalan dishes. It's just a mix of Central America. Enjoy

Bangin!!

Came here for my birthday and cannot say enough good things. Started with the bread, which is a…read moregenerous portion of crispy, fluffy bread with butter. The tuna crudo was fresh with nice acidity, and I loved the plate it came on. The foie gras was extremely rich and savory, and the risotto underneath was cooked perfectly. The rabbit ragú is such a unique dish. The pasta was perfectly cooked, the rabbit was so tender, and the sauce was excellent. Not pictured is their take on fries, which are thick but still extremely crispy and delicious. We were between the orange dessert and the chocolate cake, and they surprised me by bringing us both, which is indicative of how good the service was. It's a cozy place that I would absolutely visit again. Overall: 4.8/5

***If there's one review you should read before deciding to come here, it's this one. I'm about to…read morewax poetic.*** Let me preface by saying that I'm a young adult who considers himself a bit of a foodie. I work in Times Square so I usually frequent fine dining establishments in the city, but my home is North Jersey so I am acutely aware that there are some hidden gems in this state. Last week, I was at the Saddle River Inn in Saddle River and was blown away. But this place is far, far, even more exceptional. Greatest dining experience ever. Called the restaurant due to a last-minute cancelation in my party. Evan, a manager, was super helpful in waiving any cancelation fees. It's BYOB and there's a brewery across the street that apparently does takeout. I just brought beer from my house. They gave me chilled glasses and a bucket of ice to keep my refreshments chilled. Onto the ambience. You walk in and it's a nice, cozy little place with tables and a bar top with an open kitchen layout behind it. You can see all the food that's cooking and the presentations that go behind each dish - all live in front of you. The chef's were busy but always obliged when I said hey or asked a question. I tried the 5 course chef's tasting menu for $125. You get a little bit of all of the best flavors coming out of the kitchen. And the flavors are always changing. They source their ingredients from local farms. First came out complimentary course #1 - all I remember is it had crudo in it. Then course #1 - gulf shrimp with squid. This is the point where I decide no matter how else dinner plays out, I'm coming back. What fresh ingredients and creative flavor pairings. Next was course #2 - duck confit spring roll. It's just a smaller portion of what's regularly on their menu. This may have been my favorite item of the night. Next was wood fired octopus in tagliatelle pasta. After that, I believe, was complimentary course #2 - what appeared to be a caesar salad. Anything they make is delicious. Finally, I had an American wagyu strip as the fourth course. Absolutely delectable. At this point, I'm in Heaven. But I'm not quite yet full and ready for my dessert - profiteroles - one of my favorite desserts. I was looking forward to it from the moment I walked in and saw it listed on the tasting menu. I only eat 1 meal a day so when I finally eat, I eat a lot. A normal person would be full at this point, but I wanted more. I also couldn't help but think it might have something to do with me not wanting to leave and just try anything this kitchen made. So I ordered more. I asked for their regular menu and ordered some more duck confit spring rolls and some type of pork belly entree. Quick note - the pork belly entree was not good. You have to take the losses on the chin to make the wins matter more. Pork belly over beans? It was like bbq ribs meets an English breakfast. Please get rid of that, respectfully. After 3 bites, I didn't want any more so I quietly flagged down my server, Kat, and told her please quietly take this, I fully intend to pay for it since I ordered it; it's just no good. And I had been raving to her about every dish up until that point. So she insisted that she'd take it off the check. I insisted I'd pay, she kept insisting, so I relented. That's really good customer service. Now time for dessert. I wish I could say I was ending on a better note but the Profiteroles - which I mentioned is a favorite dessert of mine - massive disappointment. After everything else was put together for care, I got notes of freezer for this last one - especially the pumpkin part. I love this restaurant and I intend on returning as soon as possible, so please don't take offense to my constructive criticism. I applaud your efforts to infuse different flavors together. It is working wonders for you. Keep it up. I'm gonna share pictures of everything, including the menu. But the last 2 things I'll talk about are the cost and the service. With the pork belly entree taken off, it was just the 5 course tasting menu, an order of duck confit spring rolls, and a $6 double espresso. The total came out to $168 after taxes. I tipped $168. That's right. 100%. In a world where people like to dock tip percentages from their precious "20%" for what they perceive to be a lack of good service, let's normalize going above 25% for exceptional service. Not everyone can afford 100% like me, but next tip tip your servers 30-35% for exceptional service. As a former server in my heyday, I promise it'll mean more to them than the few extra dollars to you. And exceptional service is what I got. From manager Evan, to server Kat, to all of the others I met - forgive me if I forget any names. Chef Kelly, Chef Mike, Chef Jon, Keira, Jimmy. Thank you for an unforgettable 5-star experience. Keep up the exceptional work. I will see you again soon.

Love a classic Jersey Diner, and this one is about as classic as they come. Long counter with…read morestools, booths with vinyl seats, paper placemats, and all the hearty, typical diner food you would expect on the menu, including a case filled with amazing looking pies and cakes. My girlfriend and I had dinner here on a Saturday night in September and sat in a booth. Our waitress was very friendly. My girlfriend got the meatloaf and I got a sandwich with breaded chicken and vodka sauce. The meatloaf was bad (dry and flavorless) but the sandwich and fries were excellent. Prices are high too. Charging over $20 for meatloaf - not very good meatloaf at that - seems insane to me. But I guess prices are up everywhere these days and north Jersey is a high-cost-of-living area in general so here we are. Nice place, nice people, good menu. Just avoid the meatloaf.

We always enjoy a dinner because of all the options. It was a cold and rainy day so the beef barley…read moresoup warmed us up. It was a fair amount of beef, veggies and barley. Plenty of soups to choose from if you are so inclined. Hubby and I wanted to split some mousaka, but alas they didn't have any so I opted for the Greek wrap sans onions. It was tasty but could've used more chicken. It was more of a salad w/ a smacking of chicken wrapped up. Hubby got the chicken raspberry salad. It was huge but considering the size, there was only 1 piece of chicken and he said that it wasn't really seasoned. There were a fair amount of walnuts but he had to ask for more dressing. The apple was cut into slices so hubby asked for a knife and cut it up so he could cut it up himself. He wasn't thrilled with the salad and left half of it which was $18.58! He thought it could use some type of cheese or something to give it more umph. On a side note, they need to update their bathrooms. The toilet was cracked and leaked when you flushed. There were no towels and the hand drier didn't work. All in all, it wasn't the best visit we've had but our server was nice and I would like to come back again and try their coffees.

First, the great: food is always fantastic. Everything is well-prepared, delicious, and…read morewell-portioned. The service staff is always knowledgeable, helpful, and most importantly, friendly. I cannot say enough about the food and the waitstaff. My husband and I have been visiting the Black Forest Inn at least twice a year for the past 5 years, sometimes with friends or family, and have never had a bad meal or experience once we were seated. The glaring issue is their hostess. Every time I have made a reservation, I am seated 20-30 mins AFTER my allotted time. Every single time, without fail, for the past 5 years. The hostess area seems to be managed very poorly. It's been the same woman every time I go; she is tall with gray hair, I did not get her name. I realize it's busy, and I can of course understand a few minutes wait time, but what is the point of a reservation if we won't be seated anywhere near the time we booked? Not only that but she is rude and short with every customer. I was with a party of four this past weekend, and checked in with her just before 6pm for our reservation at 6pm. She took my name and said she'd have our table ready in a minute after checking us in. She never looked up again. A minute or two later at most she says "can you move over to the side and get out of the way so I can check in the other customers." Um...okay, but she said she'd have our table ready in a minute that's why we were waiting there. We can't read minds. We would have gladly moved over if she had simply asked us nicely once she got the name on the reservation. Another gentleman walked over from the bar after apparently being told by someone else that his table for a party of two would be ready, and she was even worse. She barely looked up and said, "Can you get out of the way. I'll let you know when we can seat you." The look on that man's face said it all. There were more moments like this that night, we saw it all. There were two other women at the hostess desk and it didn't look like there is a process or reliable routine at all among them but at least the other two ladies were friendly. They had a notebook, an IPad, and various sheets of paper. I've never seen anything like it at an established restaurant. I realize it's a busy, it's Saturday, and it's Oktoberfest. But it is not acceptable to have people waiting 20-30 mins to be seated when they have a reservation, or being spoken to that way. We've had similar experiences no matter what time of year we visit. The hostess desk is a mess. If they can fix this and get a more streamlined, efficient table management system and a friendlier hostess, their only problem would be solved. We continue to go because everything else about the restaurant is phenomenal, but we shouldn't have to book a reservation at 6pm in order to know we'll eat by 7:30pm. Other than that, I highly recommend Black Forest Inn. Make a reservation, but bring your patience and comfortable shoes. You'll be waiting a while and there may not be a seat left in the lobby.

The service is horrendous. Made a reservation; they forgot our reservation and took us 25 minutes…read moreto get a seat, then given a seat, they took another 30 to take our order, and another 30 to get our drinks. We were completely ignored, as our kids are throwing a fit for just water! Dinner took us three hours, and unfortunately, the food was not enough to make up for this massive inconvenience and terrible experience. They were drastically understaffed with only four servers for a very full and busy restaurant, but either way they have an issue that they're failing to address. The paltry level of service is unacceptable for any respectable restaurant.
