Food overpriced. Needed a bit more flavor. Tacos were served cold.
Service was okay. We asked for no pico on nachos and it was left on.
The atmosphere was pleasant. Got a really nice view of the elephants.

Honestly pretty good food. The carne asada tacos were quite flavorful, and good large portions! Definitely a little on the dry side, though. Rice was an afterthought and a bit crunchy, but tasty too. The beans were delicious. Some of the best. The chips and salsa (extra cost appetizer) were good—be prepared, the chips are spicy! Food came out fast. Expensive for what you get, but that’s expected for a place like a zoo. Definitely one of the better food options in the park! Plenty of outdoor tables with umbrellas for shade.

Order was incorrect and when asking for salsa they were afraid to hand out more then 2 little cups. Beans were as thick as paste and rice had no flavor.

Nice & convenient for a quick bite in the middle of your zoo day. Pricy & smaller portions; but I guess that’s what you get at a zoo. We got the tacos & the watermelon agua Fresca, and enjoyed them.

Clean, food is good. Nice worker named Pat helped me. Elephants are outside while you eat. So weird but great?

Overpriced "Mexican" food, no vegan options although the Manu says "V" at the bottom. Not even mentioning the Arab music throughout the whole meal. Personally I hoped for more Mexican vibes and not Middle East. Find another restaurant to eat at the zoo, do yourself a favor.
Very overcooked meat in a buritto. (Carne asada)Salsa is something far from

I was initially skeptical about the food quality at a zoo or amusement park, but Sabertooth Grill exceeded my expectations.I tried the Carne Asada Burrito, and the combination of tender carne asada, pepper jack cheese, Mexican crema, guacamole, and pico de gallo was simply delightful. The flavors blended harmoniously, creating a tasty treat that I didn't anticipate from a zoo eatery.Additionally, I ordered the Cheese Quesadilla with guacamole, pico de gallo, and Mexican crema, accompanied by a side of chips. The quesadilla was cheesy perfection, and the sides complemented the dish well.What impressed me the most was the overall quality of the food. It was not only delicious but also reasonably priced, which was a refreshing change from the usual expensive fare found in such venues.

We chose to each lunch at the Sabertooth Grill when we visited the San Diego Zoo. You can see your food being made to order while in line which was nice. The tables had a large umbrella to provide shade and occasionally an elephant will walk by.

It's zoo food. Ended up getting sick later on. Friendly enough staff. Way overpriced.
