Editorial Review for Sago Modern Mexican – by Andrea Loera
In Short
Eyepopping shades of pink and orange accent Sago's modern dining room while dim lighting and thumping background music add a touch of nightlife. The palm-lined patio overlooks one of the Triangle's few remaining green spaces and offers plenty of seating. Take a break from local Tex-Mex familiars with modern Mexican dishes such as tilapia seviche, achiote-marinated shrimp quesadillas, grilled red snapper tacos with jicama-cabbage slaw, and braised pork-stuffed poblano pepper. Breakfast is served on the weekends.

I chose to have my family and I attend Sago for my 18th birthday. I couldn't have made a better choice. The atmosphere is excellent, both friend and family friendly. At first, I couldn't really imagine a "modern" Mexican restaurant, but Sago DEFINITELY lives up to their style. My family chose various items from the menu, and I personally chose the Brisket Enchiladas. They were absolutely fantastic! The enchiladas had a smokey Brisket taste and were spicy but not over the top. The rice was cool-flavored, with a sweet taste that was key to contrast the seasoning. Charro beans were fantastic! Overall I couldn't have asked for a better experience. My family and I were waited on promptly and were given the private party room since we reserved early. If you're looking for a neat, new, fun and exciting twist to Mexican dining, go to SAGO! I'll definitely be returning.
Pros: Great service, great atmosphere, fantastic dining experience.
Cons: Might be a little spicy for some

King1234 and lennycharles perhaps are smoking that special herb Austin and Amsterdam are famous for. I must admit this place is not the best Tex-Mex or Mexican food out there, but it sure beats most of the restaurants I have been to in the past six months. If you are looking for gourmet Mexican then go to a gourmet Mexican. If you seem to think that pork tastes similar in two different dishes it is perhaps because recipes must be streamlined and salsas and sauces are the ones that change the dish. Go to any restaurant in the U.S. (yes your favorite one also) and you will see that they all have a basic menu and the sauces are the one that change the dish so they are all similar. This rant is just to address a review about similar taste in two dishes. I can honestly say that it is a nice, relaxing place to go, and not expensive at all. The drinks are good, and the food is vast. Please if anyone has a review that knocks this place, and states it is the worst; then please let me know what you think is your favorite so that I may go take a look so I may enjoy from such delicious food. Seriously, so far, I think it is the best place for its price and "type of food". Don't compare a maki roll from HEB to a maki roll from Musashino. This is just a fair review.
Pros: Decor, Service, Food, Price
Cons: Dessert
