What Nicolette Yost doesn't like about Sazon:
I came here with a big group of friends for a birthday dinner, a few of them were hyping up the food and I ended up very underwhelmed. My frozen coconut Margarita was the best part of my meal and was actually really good! I ordered the chicken flautas(one of my favorite dishes) and it was very dry and bland , even with the sauce and extra garnish on top. Out of 9 people, there were 4 who felt the exact same way. Rega... View all feedback. What Carol Austin likes about Sazon:
Sazon is definitely a favorite! Comfortable Latin decor, delicious food and friendly service creates a pleasant dining experience. Traditional Mexican dishes and Central American dishes. Pay a visit here for breakfast, lunch or dinner. You won’t be disappointed. Excellent bar, covered patio. Parking. View all feedback.

Always super yummy. I’m from Chicago but was visiting a friend. My 3rd time here. Caldo was my dish.

The restaurant offers a range of delicious Tex-Mex and traditional Mexican dishes along with Central American options in a relaxed, family-owned setting. The salsa is particularly praised, with the homemade award-winning salsa being a highlight. The margaritas are tasty, and the bar and covered patio provide a pleasant dining experience. The ambiance is described as organic and genuine, offering a break from the typical Tex-Mex scene. The menu features unique dishes like chicken enchiladas with pipian sauce and has garnered a loyal following among locals. Overall, it's a hidden gem worth exploring for its authentic flavors and inviting atmosphere that make it a favorite among diners.
