“ This place is still very good! Prices are good for the amount of food you receive. The pernil is amazing. It is so flavorful and tender. I love that they give you a large amount and some of the hard salty skin. The rice and beans are always very good and fresh. The potato salad with eggs and carrots is good too and pairs very well with the meal. ”
“ It's been awhile since I've been back and the interior/ambiance is much nicer now. The tables are pushed against the wall and there's room to order without feeling overwhelmed. Service was quick and great. The food is amazing as always! I got the fish stew, it was a little dry and salty. But as always I really like the oxtail stew, super flavorful and tender. The lemonade homemade drink tastes a bit sugary, I did wonder if it's real lemonade. Next time I'd like to try the stew chicken and sancocho soup. Oxtail again haha! Great price! $30 for two homemade drinks and two meals! ”
“ Excellent food. Four of us went for lunch today and we all had different things, everything was great. Clean bathrooms- all good. Tim Hefferan Norwalk CT ”
“ Delicious!! Quick and good service. Would go back if I was in the area. The rice was good-- the "carne guisada" meat so tender. My husband got the bistec with onions- also tender! The sweet plantains were delicious and the tostones crunchy. ”
“ Sazon is an authentic neighborhood joint that offers a wide range of Latino eats from plantains (omg, do yourself a favor and make sure to order a double serving of this) to empanadas to rice and beans to different meats. My cousin, who's a local, recommended the spot and it was a hit for me! One thing I noticed when I came in is that they don't serve food in actual dishes but rather automatically put all food in to-go boxes and there weren't a ton of folks dining-in. Additionally, the place is modest in size so so it may be a spot that's better for ordering to-go (which is what my family did.) While they don't offer a *ton* of veggie options (I'd love to see them incorporate at least one veggie stew or other veggie option in future), I was able to build a plate out of their perfectly seasoned rice/ beans and plantains. Meanwhile, my family members chowed down on their meats! Everyone was very impressed with their food and cleaned their to-go boxes. The one downside to this spot is that the staff isn't necessarily warm/ friendly *but* with their constant stream of customers, I can see why they'd want to get each customer in/ out quickly without exchanging pleasantries. If you're looking for authentic, quality, Latino cuisine on a budget, look no further! ”
“ Actually really good food,, can't complain at all, First time there the people were nice and help me through I will be back ”
“ First time ever having Latino food too for whatever reason. It was recommended to me by a friend of mine. Pork was a tad dry, but super tasty. The rice and beans were fantastic. I can eat these empanadas all day ”
