I love finding a legit mom-and-pop spot, and this family-owned Mayan & Yucatecan restaurant did NOT disappoint. Nothing fancy--and honestly, that's the charm. Just friendly service and seriously good, freshly made food. I ordered a combo to try a few things outside my usual comfort zone: panucho, salbute, and their style of empanada. Everything was delicious, and even my to-go order was plated beautifully. The chicken was juicy and packed with flavor, but that hot sauce? BABY, I was not prepared. Consider yourself warned! Love supporting a local family-owned gem like this. I'll be back in no time! read more

Long review but I think it's important to say what needs to be said: THE SHORT VERSION; First time visiting this place since reviews were generally good and it's truly something special to see a restaurant specializing in Yucatecan food only. The food was different than your standard Mexican offering and overall very good, good seasoning and portions. Pricing was not out of what would be expected for quality Mexican food. The service, unfortunately, was half baked, which is really sad for me to see as a staunch supporter of local, immigrant owned businesses and being a child of immigrants myself and knowing how much hard work is involved in maintaining a business alive. THE LONGER VERSION; It was apparent that the waitress that served us during our visit could not only benefit from more training in offering (and caring to offer) a better customer service experience / better table side communication but also needs to make the connection about how her actions affect the livelihood of a business that others have undoubtedly worked very hard for. But, I guess this assumes she wants to genuinely work there. To begin with, my party was greeted by a poorly delivered and off putting joke about making sure she served us lots of alcohol; delivered in a way that in Spanish is known as "ser llevado" or overly familiar. Odd to make jokes like that when you just met someone visiting your business for the first time, but we passed it off as just a poor attempt to connect. Fine, we moved on. The music was extremely loud. When we asked if it could be lowered somewhat, she lowered the volume from an 11 to a 2, which then made the ask not only awkward but almost passive aggressive. (I only say this because once we left, we heard the volume quickly go back to 11, as if they were just waiting for us to leave to crank the volume back up again). The waitress did explain the dishes well, letting us know what the unique ones were. However, in the middle of our conversation a guy walked through the door and it was obvious that there's a connection between them because she then got more impatient explaining things to us as said guy moved to sit at a table towards the back of the restaurant. We completed our order, she served us and then kind of disappeared to wait on the other table, we thought. When she did happen to pass by our table again, I politely asked for additional plates and silverware, when she had a chance, to which she replied that I could pick them up myself from near the register area. Her response seemed out place since we were dining in and we were under the impression that she was our waitress, so I asked her again for silverware, not plastic utensils. Again, she told me that I could pick up plastic utensils myself from the register, pointing, "see they're right there" and walked away to the kitchen. We were still processing the exchange, a bit in disbelief, when she then appeared with requested silverware and additional plates but visibly annoyed and in some kind of hurry. It was really hard to focus on enjoying our meal after that. The waitress then made her way to the back table to sit next to, one could now only presume was her boyfriend, and we never saw her again. She never checked on us, asked if we needed anything, etc. Her priority was staying seated and chatting it up with that guy. Who did come to check on us was the owner, who seems to have cooked the meals and walked out of the kitchen to speak with us. He asked if we had enjoyed the food, if it was our first time there, talked about how he sourced his ingredients, shared some of the restaurant's history. Then he walked away to continue working. Unfortunately, we were forced to engage again with the waitress (who remained seated at the back table) and had to ask her across the restaurant where we should pay. Before she answered from her chair (didn't even get up to speak with us and was getting ready to yell back at us from her seat) the owner appeared at the register and told us we could pay with him. Unfortunately, the whole service experience did negatively color our desire to return to this place again. Giving more like 3.5 stars because the food was good but not enough to overlook the unpleasant service. read more

Family owned and operated Mexican restaurant that specializes and Yucatecan cuisine (the sign says Mayan food I'm naively assuming it's the same or similar). This place is located in strip mall out in Rialto. As soon as I walked in, I can tell this place was a chill place to eat with very friendly people serving you. I was really excited to sit down and order. I ended up getting the #9 (or #5? It's been a while and they're similar). Either way, this order gives you a good sample of a lot what they have to offer. If the #9, it comes with a panucho, a salbute, a polcan, an empanada de carne, a taco de cochinita de pibil, and a taco relleno. The amazing flavors and textures. I was like a kid in a candy store with this meal. Everything was delicious all washed down with the Modelo. It's a little far for me, but definitely would love to stop by again if I'm in the area or driving through. read more

Sabor Yucateco - 5 combo- PANUCHO, Salbute, 2 tacos, empanada, codsitos - Seafood Near Me - Rialto, California

Delicious and authentic. There were three options for salsa/sauce and although they were all great, I really liked the one with pickled red onion. Good Mexican food is one of the main things I miss about living in Southern California, and you can't do much better than what Sabor Yucateco offers. The price was good and there was a lot of flavorful and juicy meat on each taco. I could barely finish them. The michelada was perfection with chunks of frozen beer from the icy cold glass. Plus, they have some items like shirts and decorations available for purchase. Do yourself a favor and go try som authentic dishes. read more

Just discovered a hidden gem in Rialto and I'm OBSESSED! They are serving up authentic Yucatecan flavors that taste like home! | had the cochinita pibil and WoW - tender, juicy, flavorful, and wrapped in fresh handmade tortillas. Also tried the panuchos + salbutes and they were *chef's kiss* crispy, loaded, and so satisfying. Don't even get me started on their horchata... refreshing and not too sweet. The vibes were cozy, the service was super kind, and you can tell they put love into every single dish If you're in the lE and craving real Yucatán flavor - GO. You won't regret it. read more

Great food. Very authentic. Fair pricing a lot of seating. Fast and courteous personnel

I just had been out of the hospital for a few days and had barely been able to eat due to some health conditions. I just couldn't fit much food but I was so hungry and craving flavorful food. I did a search on Yelp for places that offered a variety os small portions. It came up with a couple of places in Rialto. I guess the idea was something like tapas? I don't know what those are but this place had shareables, had great rating and the food sounded interesting, even though I don't speak the language much. My friend (who speaks fluent Spanish) and I went together tonight and she helped me decipher the menu. We ended up sharing an empenada, shrimp taco, cochinita taco? and another type of fried corn shell appetizer. The fried corn tortilla is home made and was like something I've never experienced before. I normally prefer flou tortillas because they are softer, especially when fried, but this fried corn tortilla was crispy and lighter and more airy than a flour tortilla and was healthy without any grease or oil on it. It was the most I have been able to eat since I got back home and it was all SO delicious and so healthy. I was able to get a couple of bites of 4 or 5 items. I believe the lady that served us was the owner. She was so patient with us and explained so much to us. I am a very slow eater and we kept them after closing but the owner was so kind and didn't show a second of impatience or pushing us to leave. I still don't exactly know what all I ate but it was so tasty and light and healthy. The only warning I have is about their selection of 4 salsas. It is authenticly SPICY to their region. I love the the heat and the flavors of each salsa, I am just not sure if my stomach is going to agree... lol This place is one of those hole in the wall gems that you MUST try. They deserve your business. I will be back many times to try the many items. Once my appetite builds back up and can fit more food, I will try an actual meal there. Oh yeah, they have full meals with generous portions as I saw other customers order. read more

YESSSSSS!!!!! Ok this might be my favorite New Mexican spot. Dely was amazing! She welcomed us so warmly and helped us a bit through the menu. The inside was clean and inviting. I had been researching and knew we wanted the #5. This gave us a sampler of all the flavors. Dely also suggested the kibis. This was a unique taste and had some flavors what were new (a tiny dense, but delicious flavor). The pibil was delicious, the salbute with beans NEXT LEVEL!!! Honestly you have to eat this food. Writing this I want to go back now ( I just was there 4 hours ago). The habanero salsa (the orange one) was absolutely delicious! I can't think of enough words to explain! I will be bringing my coworkers here and sharing with CSUSB. I hope people will fill this place because it is something special. Thank you Saboryucateco!!! read more

I am a big connoisseur of chicken tacos. I don't eat red meat. No beef, no pork. I have tried chicken tacos from most restaurants. You name it. King Taco, Viva Villas, Tacos EL Gordo, etc. I know a thing or two about chicken tacos. These tacos at Sabor Yacateco are by far, my favorite. I saw the ratings on Yelp and had to give them a try. They have earned the high ratings. The place is just the right size. The staff is friendly. The salsa bar is very good. I highly recommend this place if you are in the Mood for tacos. read more

Frickin awesome experience. The food is amazing My boyfriend knows how to keep me and These amazing senoritas know how to make food in the most authentic way. When you first walk in you feel like you're totally in a different country all the authentic fresh flavors made from scratch there's no way that you can say no to trying anything on this menu. There's plenty of vegetarian options and if there's something on the menu that you want to alter, they always can makea sub substitution. Located right next to Saint Catherine's I highly recommend you coming through and bringing your family here to eat If you want to order ahead of time that's great because they have the best salsa. Make sure to ask them to pack you some green spicy salsa to accommodate your delicious meal. read more

Hello Yelpers My wife and I tried this place on your recommendations Wow the food was amazing . The restaurant was empty when we arrived , (but it was closing time ), it was very clean inside. Our waitress was very friendly and suggested the sampler and the short ribs . I didn't think it would fill us up, I was wrong. We had split the sampler into two separate portions and we shared the ribs... the tomato sauce the ribs were cooked in was very tasty and the ribs were really tender. The sampler was very good also I loved the empanada!!!! Even though it was closing time the service and food was top notch..... Thank you for Yelpers And Thank you Saboryuateco For a good meal. read more
