Sazon Latino Restaurant

the quality of food here has changed, i was ordering every week for work and after a month of it being off im deciding to stop. the pernil is no longer moist fatty and crunchy and is dry and burnt and the rice is mushy now

Comida deliciosa...I walked up to Sazon and so many good smells filled the air before even walking in. I went with 3 friends, including a ringer...J.R. grew up in a PR family in NYC and suggested this place...we walked in and immediately got into line...this is a busy place around lunch time...but that means that is good. The line moved fast. I went with a true standard of Puerto Rico Cooking; Arroz con gandules with pernil. What? I know it is like Christmas/Noche Buena/Thanksgiving in May! The Pernil is for those who have missed out on a joyous life: beautifully season pork typically shoulder (garlic, oregano, salt and some other marinade seasons I could not tell). The server was cool because I like pernil crujiente. So got me some crispy parts. This pernil was paired the with yellow ri

The food is not as good as it used to be back when I was coming so often about 15 - 20 years ago & that makes me really sad. People get a based Clientele & don't feel the need to always improve. The prices sure went up likr crazy, but their quality is down, down, down. & of course, they may not care, because they have their loyal Clients that go there even when the taste is lacking. People eat anything now a days; yet the love is no longer in their service, nor in their taste, nor in their prices. I can get much better taste & price in an Olive garden with unlimited sald & breat too... To be more plain, I ordered the $10.00 plate, cause i didn't have a lot of money & ended up paying $20 something plus tip. That makes no sense. Nooooo sense at all. Why ask me then, what size i want? Why te

Chicharon on another level - the skin is so crispy while the meat stays tender, and it is really flavorful. Even when reheated the next day in the microwave, it stayed crispy and didn’t dry out the meat. I would order this again any day any time. The cheese empanadas were also good, they had a good amount of stretchy cheese in them. I wasn’t really a fan of the chicken noodle soup, it had a lot of odd sized pieces with bones in them so was a little bit of work to eat, but came with white rice that was good. This won’t deter me from going back for that chicharron, and to try a few other things on the menu.

This place has really good food. It's hard not to find myself waiting in line whenever I go here. They serve up really big portions too. This place is a gem for the Spanish community and anyone who likes their food.
