Reviews for Sabores del Sur in Lafayette, CA
Latin American casual dining at it's finest. I love that the chef-owner (don't know her name) is about as friendly and welcoming... as they come. Parking on the street just outside of the restaurant is super easy and free, which is a delightful change from thenorm in Walnut Creek. From empanadas, pollo asado, pescado frito, lomo saltado; everything is delicious here, and portion sizesare quite generous. Expect to pay about $15-$20 per person for dinner, and $10-15 for lunch. Love the interior decor - kind of ahybrid of traditional Latin American pieces with a modern vibe, and we've never had to wait for seating. There's also pleasantoutdoor patio seating for al fresco dining. Please come and support this delightful restaurant. Honestly, they deserve to have aline out the door. Read more
Our very first visit last night for dinner. The Chilean and Peruvian food was very tasty and satisfying. Very casual place,... order your food at the counter and they bring it to your table. Read more
Delicious food from South America. You have to try. Fried fish is served with rice and salad. It is my favorite, empanadas and... alfajores too. Read more
Good food. Very friendly stuff. Ceviche is a little bit spicy. Comparing to other Peruvian restaurants in the Bay Area, this... place is pretty good Read more
There was far too much cheese in the omelet, once I removed 3/4 of the cheese it was wonderful. A lot of my potatoes were under... cooked, but the ones that weren't were delicious. Loved the mango drink. Sadly they don't carry tabasco or tapatio, but thesauce they serve with almost every dish is very yummy just not spicy. It was very frustrating that the gal working the register(where you place your order) didn't speak or understand English very well, so one of the line cooks had to keep coming over tothe register to answer questions and explain things to her in Spanish. The restaurant is spacious and clean, and I really likethe outside seating Read more
Walking by it, it always seemed closed. Turns out that they are only open for dinner on Thursday and Friday. So now that i... visited I'll be coming back. Staff was very helpful in understanding the south american menu. Whilst the place is not a sitdown place with menus, there are tables and the atmosphere is pleasant enough. Best part was that the food was delicious!! Read more
Very good food. Nice atmosphere and customer service as well. Definitely try their empanadas. The prices are a bit high for a... casual place that doesn't use waiters, but the food is worth it. Expect to pay $10-15 per person. Read more
For 10 years I had been consuming this alfajores cookies. Since I first discovered them in whole Foods oakland. I promoted them... and loved them. Then I made an order and wasn’t able to pick it up at the time I had place 1 pm. I call several times noanswer. I wanted to see if they could just leave my order outside and no answer. I got there at 2:05 and everything was closed.Didn’t even get a call or anything from them I send them an email and receive no answer then finally I went back and they toldme that I had compete lost my order with no chance or order or refund. I try speaking to the owner and she was really rude. Ididn’t even want the whole order I had place I just wanted them cookies. I had order a whole order of large alfajores cookiesand two empanadas. She said she wasn’t going to loose money. I just don’t understand why she would not answer her phone. Itcould all have been resolve with a simple phone call. Read more
