Going to give it a second chance
by niftyswifty at Citysearch
(Replacing the original review)
I'd posted a scathing review here due to outrageously rude service from the manager and wait staff, however, I also contacted the owner via e-mail and we've had a very productive chat since then. He's invited me back to give the place another chance, and I've decided to withdraw the review until I've had another go at Sazon...
- Pros: Owner is very nice
- Cons: Mean wait staff, mean manager, had to leave

The Best. Period.
by oldoldaustin at Citysearch
OK, so if you can get past the lack of ambiance (unless you like dining al fresco on S. Lamar with exhaust fumes and screaming sirens) the food at Sazon is the best interior Mexican food in town. Everything I've ever ordered on the menu has been great, but my favorite things are the specials, which range from excellent seafood dishes to delicious enchiladas and more. I love interior Mexican food, and this joint delivers! Just don't expect much in the way of atmosphere. You won't find it here.
- Pros: Great Food
- Cons: Atmosphere? Nope.

Authentic food
by dustinww at Citysearch
The quality of the food seemed to be good, but the flavors were not what we were used to. It tasted more authentic than most of the other "Mexican" restaraunts that we frequent, but that was also the reason we didn't much like it. The service was a also on the slow side.
- Pros: Food Quality
- Cons: Flavors
