Colombia Bakery Restaurant: Authentic Colombian Flavors in Statesville

I was in town to attend Merlefest which was a first for me. On Sunday we cut out a little early to get something to eat and found this little gem in Downtown Statesville. When you walk in, it doesn't look like much, open dining area with chairs and tables. We ordered a Bunelo which is their cheese ball, and Guacamole wcon Chicharron as appetizers. If you like more like in your Guacamole, this is the top notch and I would highly recommend. For our entree we split Bandeja Pasta, which had pork belly, steak, sausage, avocado, rice eggs, and beans. When I say this was delicious, delicious doesn't even give it justice. The food was flavorful, and fresh. My fiancee and I were blown away with how good the food was from such a humble spot. I live about and hour and a half away, but we will be coming back and bringing out family and friends so we can share the experience with them. I don't always write reviews about how good the food is, but this deserved a review, and if you're on the fence about going. Just go. It's well worth the price and everyone there was super friendly and helpful! Oh, if you like yogurt drinks, they make an excellent yogurt drink that is tart and refreshing, which would be a great summer time drink!

Comfortable spot for an honest taste of Colombian cuisine. Casual atmosphere with friendly service. Portions are satisfying, and the menu offered a nice variety of dishes. A pleasant place for a relaxed meal. We drive up from Mooresville just to eat here.

Took my uncle for a late lunch/early dinner for birthday we loved it we come from Miami so it was nice and taste delicious to see in NC, we will definitely be coming back!

Excellent restaurant! The friendly service from Cindy was incredible! The food, DELICIOUS! The price, very fair! I wish we had known about this restaurant before! Definitely will be returning!

Food was excellent and the prices were really good.

Food was top-notch. Beautifully displayed and cooked to perfection. My son had the Cubana sandwich with seasoned fries, and he didn't stop talking about it the rest of the weekend. I had the Carne Asada with rice, salad, and plantain (and a wonderful subtle blackberry fruit slushy) and it took me back 30 years to a trip I made to Puerto Rico, it was so fresh, tropical, and authentic. The meat was perfectly seasoned and full of flavor, as were the other items on my plate. Simple, yet much more elegant than I expected. Service was attentive and price was reasonable for the quality. We were there just an hour before closing on a Saturday night and surprisingly had the dining room to ourselves. If I were to knock them for anything it would be the atmosphere. A little less YouTube and salsa music on the projection big screen and a little more subtlety would be my preference, but even in that there was a level of authenticity. Would definitely visit again if I'm ever back in the area.

we’ve been looking for a place like this for a long time - everything was delicious!

Wow! Great place here, makes me wish I lived in Statesville! Actually, I'm finding a lot of things about Statesville very appealing. Sabores is one of the highlights and I'm lucky I stumbled across it!! I just had an empanada, beans, and pastel de guayaba (guava and cheese pastry), and ended up getting two more empanadas and three more pastries to go home with me! Honestly, the pastries were my favorite. I nearly cried eating mine cause it was SO GOOD. And hot. When the staff say it's super hot, believe them! They serve these fried fresh and crispy and they will burn you if you aren't careful, but they're SO WORTH IT! You definitely have to try them if you can!! The staff are super friendly and helpful. The interior is simple but with some beautiful paintings and decorations on the walls. Excellent, clean restrooms (for customers). Overall, this place is awesome and I WILL be dragging friends and family to eat with me next time I'm in Statesville! New favorite!!
