Sabor A Cafe Colombian Steakhouse

We spent an evening here celebrating my fiancé’s birthday, and it was TRULY an amazing experience. The service, food, drinks, and liveliness were just amazing. I can’t believe I just discovered this place, as I live practically right down the road! I wish I could recall our server’s name, because she was just a spectacular human and made the BEST mojito I’ve ever had. Highly recommend this restaurant and looking forward to returning on an evening that they have live music!

Heard about this place from a YouTube video. SO glad I checked it out. It's a family/night-life entertainment kinda joint, interior design feels comfortable, a touch exotic. Feels like it's in the middle of nowhere on Peterson, but hey, the best places sometimes are. Came for the food, though, and from what I saw, it was authentic, well-presented and super tasty. Usually, empanadas are doughy and heavy, but these were crispy, light and the filling was delicious, reminded me more of a fried wonton. Salsa Verde is choice, just a bit spicy and tastes good on almost everything. That includes the Churrascos, the giant steak I had for dinner. Had it rare, flavor was subtle but hearty, reminded me a bit of Peruvian Lomo Saltado. The chimichurri paired perfectly, not just with the steak, but also the fried yuca (why is THAT not on every steakhouse menu in Chicago? Great accompaniment with juicy beef). Overall, a perfect birthday dinner (thank you, Valentina!). I'm trying some of the traditional seafood next time, I like the combinations listed in the menu. Give this a shot, go later on Saturday for the live music, but make a reservation. Great meal. 😁

Waiter was prompt, food was served within a reasonable time. They didn't have milk at the time so we could not have chocolate con queso. The food and portions were otherwise good. However they weren't able to split our check and they didn't give us a reason why. I did really like how the inside of the restaurant looked.
