“ Probably the best spot for Central American cuisine. We’ve been here multiple times and the service and food have always been excellent. This place having excellent reviews is for a good reason folks. You definitely won’t be disappointed with any part of your experience. ”
“ This place is truly a hidden gem, a shining star in an otherwise seemingly rundown strip mall. Bursting with flavor and authenticity, this Tex-mex / Salvadoran restaurant specializes in made from scratch menu items, starting with complimentary chips and salsa. This authentic experience also comes at extraordinary value, easy on any wallet. Happy hour is offered daily from 3pm-6pm with discounted margs, beer, tequila shots and food including quesadillas, wings, nachos and queso dip. Saturday and Sunday they even feature a small but pointed brunch menu. This place delivers an exceptional chilaquiles and serves up refried beans in a toasted pastry bowl that is truly one of a kind, however this is a gringo perspective (very well could be a Salvadoran standard). I don’t want to blow up my local spot but this place demands the respect and foot traffic, check it out if you are in the area. ”

The staff here is not only friendly but truly goes above and beyond to make you feel at home. Now, let’s talk about the food—WOW! The steak tacos were out of this world—perfectly seasoned, juicy, and packed with incredible flavor. The skirt steak entree was unbelievably tender, melting in our mouths with every bite.

If you’re craving authentic Salvadorian and Tex-Mex cuisine, this is the place to go. Incredible food, generous portions, and top-notch service—Sazon Latina deserves every bit of this five-star review! We’ll definitely be coming back for more. ”
