Located in the heart of Paso Robles, Sabor & Sazón offers an extraordinary culinary journey that masterfully blends bold Latin American flavors with refined, contemporary techniques. This intimate restaurant enchants diners with a menu that beckons with vibrant, carefully crafted dishes, each telling its own delicious story.

Their Seafood Paella is a standout, delivering a fragrant, saffron-infused celebration of fresh ocean bounty that’s both comforting and sophisticated. Meat lovers will delight in the rich and hearty Bandeja Paisa Skirt Steak, a dish bursting with authentic Colombian depth, or savor the perfectly cooked 14oz Ribeye Steak served alongside roasted fingerling potatoes and grilled vegetables, elevated by a luxurious black truffle cremini mushroom sauce. The Rack of Lamb also earns rave reviews, featuring tender chops complemented by broccolini, mashed potatoes, and a velvety red wine reduction that lingers on the palate.

Sabor & Sazón’s seafood offerings truly shine as well: the Chilean Sea Bass presents a delicate, buttery texture that melts in your mouth, while the Blackened Trout and Grilled Whole Lobster Pasta impress with robust, smoky layers and perfectly balanced seasoning.

To complete an unforgettable meal, guests rave about the decadent desserts. The creamy and flavorful Corn Soufflé is a unique, melt-in-your-mouth appetizer that has become a crowd favorite, while dessert selections like Chocolate Cake, Chocolate Brownie, and Tiramisu provide a luscious finish that lingers with every bite.

The ambiance at Sabor & Sazón offers an elegant yet inviting experience. White linen tablecloths and modern décor create a polished backdrop ideal for both special occasions and intimate dinners. While some note the spacious interior lacks a bit of personality, the friendly and attentive staff more than compensate by delivering service that feels warm and genuinely caring, making every guest feel like family.

Customer experiences echo the exceptional quality and hospitality here. Diners praise everything from the perfectly seasoned lamb chops and rich chimichurri sauce to the delightfully tender grilled calamari and the mouthwatering bandeja paisa that leaves you craving more.

    Sabor and Saxon is a great place for lunch (that’s what we had). The food is fresh and delicious but a bit overpriced. Our server was good but not great - we had a couple of miscommunications but we worked through them and everyone was satisfied. The room is large without much personality - I’m afraid it would be really loud if the place was busy. Overall, I would go again but there are a lot of other places in Paso to try.

    I loved this small restaurant with delicious food, super friendly service-almost like we were family, elegant ambience, featuring white linen table cloths & modern decorating touches. We were told to be sure & start off with Corn Souflee, from Shawn, at Serial Wines. This dessert-like appetizer was melt-in-your-mouth creamy & ultra flavorful. We enjoyed it so much! I've been craving Paella for a long time, so when I noticed it on the menu, it was a foregone conclusion, what I'd order. 5 ⭐s, for my entree, which was perfectly-executed, combining a highly satisfying amount of fresh scallops, shrimp, lobster, clams, mussels, & baby octopus tentacles, perched atop a huge bed of ultra tasty yellow rice, served in a stainless pan. No crust, on the bottom of the rice, but otherwise amazing. My partner ordered 1 of 2 Specials of the evening, Squid Ink Papperdelle, With Lobster & Shrimp. She absolutely loved her dish, as well. The owner approached us, before the food started appearing, & graciously welcomed us to his family restaurant, plus thanked us for coming in. Our server was so polite, speedy, & very professional. I loved this place in Downtown Paso Robles.

    Ordered the lamb chops with chimichurri sauce on the side. The lamb was an excellent season which I’m sure took the chef years to develop a nice blend of richness to calm the flavors of the lamb. Medium rare temperature was ideal for the dish. Also, the coconut flan has very rich flavors and an ideal ending to a flavorful meal.

    We had an absolutely amazing experience at Sabor & Sazón Restaurant in Paso Robles! The food was phenomenal, the grilled calamari was perfectly tender and flavorful, and the bandeja paisa was a mouthwatering feast that left us wanting more. The servers were beyond amazing — friendly, attentive, and ensured every detail was just right. We truly felt welcomed and cared for. We can't wait to come back and enjoy another fantastic meal. Highly recommend this gem!

My Wife and I frequently go to fine dining restaurants, and this was easily the best or one of the best experiences we’ve ever had. This place is a must try! Drinks were strong and tasty Try the rack of lamb! Sooooo good! The crème brûlée is amazing There was not one thing at this restaurant that we didn’t love. All the employees seemed to be friendly and they all worked together well. We will be back, keep up the good work!

    I visited Paso Robles with my family for a winery tour, but while exploring the town, we discovered Sabor & Sazon—and what a gem it turned out to be. The service was truly exceptional. The host, server, and manager were all incredibly kind, attentive, and welcoming. The restaurant's interior had a calm, gentle atmosphere that made it perfect for a relaxing family dinner. And the food? Absolutely phenomenal. I ordered the Pappardelle En Rosa with grilled chicken. The rosé cream sauce had a rich, deep flavor that was both unique and perfectly balanced—not something you can easily find elsewhere, but also not overwhelming. Just delicious. My wife had the Frutti Di Mare, which featured a variety of seafood in a Pomodoro sauce. The seafood was fresh and perfectly cooked, and the sauce tied everything together beautifully. A truly excellent dish that brought out the full flavor of the sea. Our daughter, a devoted salmon lover, chose the Mandarin Basil Salmon. The salmon was cooked to perfection—crispy on the outside, tender and juicy inside. The mandarin tomato basil sauce paired with it so well that she said it was one of the best salmon dishes she’s ever had. Our son went for the Lomo Saltado, a dish that seemed inspired by Peruvian cuisine and made with skirt steak. While we weren't entirely sure of the exact style, the flavors were bold and satisfying—he absolutely loved it. Every single dish and desserts exceeded our expectations. Sabor & Sazon gave our family a truly memorable dining experience. We left full, happy, and already planning to come back. This place is a hidden gem in Paso Robles—highly recommended!

    Absolutely hands down the most incredible food EVER. Every single dish was exceptional and perfectly balanced. I couldn’t get enough. The staff was SO nice, attentive, and so professional. Beautiful experience and I truly cannot wait to come back and eat MORE! We got the ceaser salad, clam linguine & split those between us, and the we each got a dessert (ricotta & flan) and I cannot say it enough - everything was PERFECT. AND they had gluten free options that were so delicious! Thank you Jorge Jr for accommodating us so wonderfully!

    Very good food at a very reasonable price. My girlfriend and I are visiting from Santa Monica and thought this place was spectacular, and the prices would easily be almost double where we are. Great cocktails, some with sake infused liquor. The food was very flavorful; the corn souffle was remnant of fresh sweet corn and the sauce as well as cotija on top took it to the next level. The ribeye was well cooked and seasoned; a bit on the thinner side but the way the chef made it definitely made up for it. The bandeja paisa was the star of the show for me; the skirt steak was a perfect medium rare with an incredibly flavorful marinade, the beans and rice were the best I’ve ever had a from a restaurant, every other element was additionally as superb with the arepa being almost unrealistically good. The service was amazing with the staff being very attentive. Food did not take long to come out at all. This restaurant has sparked joy in both of our hearts and we look forward to our return.
