Good friendly service and very fresh tasting food. My wife and I each had a burrito, Pastor and Shrimp. Both were great and a good portion size. Excellent tasting red and green salsa. Like that they have something for everyone here if you don't care for Mexican food too.

I don't like to give negative reviews, and I love supporting local mom and pop shops, but this service sucked along with the food. The owner was not too happy due to a remake of a partial order that was placed incorrectly by their waiter for takeout. I got home and saw the order was incorrect, so I called them. They stated their waiter was new and that they would remake it. So I drove back to get the correct order.... well thats where it went south... There was no customer service or genuine interest in accepting that they f#cked up, I got dirty looks instead as if I was trying to get over on them... hm... well...... With 18% tip on top of the $100 bill for breakfast takeout, I would think you would be a bit nicer to your customers. The food was mediocre, and my remake let's face it... gave me a feeling of probably food tampering... better service and breakfast at Rosie's Cafe across the street. Good luck to you Sazon you lost a customer who was one of YOUR FIRST when you opened....

Really disapointing. We first walked I. And the music was so loud we couldn't hear ourselves. No one was there to seat us, and there wasn't a sign or anything indicating we should seat ourselves. So we did seat ourselves. About 10 min later, the only waitress shows up from the bathroom, wiping her hands on her apron. A little surprised to see burgers and fettuccine Alfredo on a menu from a Mexican restaurant. Anyway we ordered, I got a super burrito but asked for the avocado sauce and Pico de Gallo on the side. Waitress asks what kind of meat. I say no meat. She repeats no meat again I say nmthats correct no eat. So she says she will put me down for a regular burrito add avocado. When the meal comes, my Pico is in the burrito and she says oh that's ok right? I told the kitchen, but they didn't put it on the side. Ummmm....there is a reason I asked for it on the side. And whoever heard of fries with a burrito?My daughyers burger was burned bad as was the bun. When we had ordered, I asked for a set of silverware as there were 3 of us and only 2 sets. Never got my set despite asking twice. Never got extra napkins. Never refills of water. The bill comes, and it was $72bucks for a burger, bean and rice burrito and Carne Masada fajitas, 2 water's, and one Corona. Way too much for shitty service, sub-par food, and awful experience. We won't be back that's for sure.

Great food. It was a Sunday morning and right before lunch where they seemed to be short staffed. Took forever for the food to come, but when it did; it was delicious! The waitress was a bit forgetful. She came asking if we would would like water and never came back with it. When leaving after paying the bill, I asked for a bag and the other waiter brought it instead. They were all happy and helpful overall. Food was great which made me still give the 4 star with the so so service.

Was there ordering some tacos . Waited at least 5 mins and the server was keep talking to her friend. It Seems she didn't even care about the business so I just walked away.

Food was nothing special. Carnitas were too sweet and looks were not appetizing. Was greeted by waitress asking if we wanted chips and salsa or guacamole without letting us know guacamole was not complimentary. Bland tasting Mexican food.

We went there for a sit-down dinner, the service was very fast, and the food was excellent.Everything was tasty, and the portions were HUGE!Parking: It's a relatively small restaurant. used to be a Starbucks.But they did a great job turning this into a nice cantina.

We came for our fiirst visit tonight because of the daily deals (specifically the molcajete & drinks deal) and i will definitely be coming back. Food was SO good and our server/manager Fatima took care of us so well. We came for dinner, but our kids wanted breakfast and there was no issue. Great little spot, can't wait for the weather to warm up so we can also enjoy the outside seating. Thank you for the great experience

The food is good but too expensive, plus the service is very slow, it takes a long time for 2 people for 2 breakfasts and we paid 75 dls, which was too excessive.
