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.

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

The food is fabulous; however, I would say more Cuban than Mexican. The breakfast on the weekend, lets just say I did not lick the plate but pretty much left it white! The waitstaff was very friendly and prompt. Parking is bad during lunch if you are in somewhat of a hurry but you get the food fast. I go often but I must say that one of the owner's (Chase), was very rude when my mom and I went. We walked towards the door and he had the door open looking around and as we were very close he just let it close without holding it open and greeting us. Oh well, not everyone has chivalry and the food and waitstaff still rock!

I was voting for the Citysearch Best of awards and saw this place was currently in third place but I had never heard of it so I thought I'd give it a chance. We went on a Friday night and there was about a 105 min wait to get a table on the patio. So we waited in the bar area for a table. My girl had the drink spec which was some big blackberry frozen margarita (apparently organic). I think she liked it cause she sucked it down pretty fast. I had Mexican Martini which was really good and really strong. The inside of the restaurant is really cool (very Six and The City as my g/f described it) but I am glad we waited for the patio - big fans and it felt like eating in a jungle. Our waitress was cute n nice, there when we needed her and gave great recommendations. We shared some fritter things for an appitizer and will definately be getting these again. A must try if you go! For her main course my girl had fish tacos and they were really good - homemade tortillas and she liked them enough not to share them with me which says something. Fortunately I really liked my chicken stuffed pepper and got to have it all to myself (according to our waitress this dish wa reviewed by the food critic at the Statesman and loved it too). I see some others who have reviewed this place didn't like the rice but we LOVED it. I've never had anything like it before but I'll be going back to have more of it! It was nice not to get the same thing as everywhere else. Oh, the other thing is the salsas are great - and when we told our waitress how much we loved them she told us we could buy them. Totally worth it. I finished the night with a frozen lime margarita - great - but they are so big n strong my girl was done in after her first. So great decor, food and drinks, - I can definately see why they are nominated for Best Mexican Restaurant even though they are new. We will definately goback. But next time we will use their free valet service!

Pros: Not a lot of money for good food and drink

Cons: Those fritters are addictive!

Crowning the Triangle retail district, this stylish restaurant serves interior Mexican cuisine that's as modern as the decor.  See the full editorial review.
