El Sabor - Vail, Colorado

Teresa Welsh

I love the location and the food has always been fine. The price increases and smaller servings have made this less of a good deal. $16 for guacamole seems really high. And the $8 shrimp taco was one tiny corn tortilla, 1 fried shrimp, 1/2 inch squirt of some green sauce. It did not have avocado as promised.

Have eaten here a number of times over the years and it has definitely improved. Great view, very convenient if skiing. Happy hour from 3-6. Staff is friendly and attentive(not overly). Food and margaritas are good. Worth a stop if looking for some Mexican food, best in town now.

Tacos were not hot. Crunchy chicken and breaded avocado tasted microwaved. We ordered and not five minutes later the meal was out. They lukewarm to the touch. Some guy that worked there was drunk at the bar and very loud. Won’t go back.

The view from the outdoor balcony is probably the best of any restaurant. The server was extremely nice and came to the table many times. The Margaritas were very good. The salsa had a kick to it and was very good. The steak fajitas were on the pricy side for the portion size, but very good and well worth it in my opinion. Will be the first restaurant we go to when we come back to Vail. Highly recommend.

We stayed at Lionshead, so we naturally had to try El Sabor, which is in the same building. I definitely recommend the patio in the summer- fantastic view overlooking the ski lift and Gore Creek.

As far as the food- I ordered the Agave chicken sandwich. It is supposed to have a spicy habanero slaw. It came drenched in sticky Agave, and very little noticeable heat. The chicken was good and had good breading. I’d probably recommend toning down the agave and adding a few extras to make the sandwich really pop. The fries were good- waffle style, and well seasoned. Came with a very small portion, could’ve used some more.

As far as the service- we had a new waitress- it was her first day, so don’t want to give her a hard time, as she got a few things backwards.

Overall, not bad, worth a look - we’d come back and try other items on the menu.

Visited on a Thursday evening with a group of 4 - not very crowded. Great views and service was very good.

Ordered Sabor Chicken Tacos, Mahi Mahi Tacos, Rib Eye, and Chicken Fajitas + chips and salsa. All food was decently priced and decent quality.

Enjoyed the Jalapeno Cilantro Marg, Tequila Mule, Paloma, and Coconut Marg. All drinks were tasty.

Top notch.
I would rate Food and drinks at 9.4/10. Had a drink that was quite similar to pina colada.

However, the server didnt let my sister who is 28 consume alcohol. "The age required to consume alcohol in Colorado acc to new law is 32 years and above" thats what we were told.
"If you want me to scan and verify it, My phone is charging and its gonna take me 20 minutes." We have never had this kind of experience anywhere else. And we were there to have a good time.
This was not a great experience and we didnt want to create a scene there.

If the food is good, its good.. if the ambience is great, its great. It is what it is. Kudos to the Chef, bartenders and all the teams.
The best thing I will remember is the drink. It was perfect to my liking . Plus the churros with chocolate drizzle at the end.
Might come back for that.

Nice atmosphere, but the pros stop there. Waited for an hour for our food, despite ordering at the same time as the rest of our group. Found a shard of plastic in the aioli with the shishitos, and the server and manager both seemed unconcerned.
