It's really nice here, usually it's not too busy and we almost always order take out and it's pretty speedy. And this is a full on Mexican restaurant and you can get some Mexican style scrambled eggs, to a Chimichanga! Love this place, I recommend this true Mexican restaurant! read more

El Sazon Mexican Restaurant - The restaurant - Mexican Near Me - Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin

Unfortunately, I would highly advise against going here. The food was OK at best, and that could have been because I was VERY hungry furthermore adding to the disappointment., My entree "carne asada" cost $18 and unfortunately with that price point, it is not worth it at all. -- Not to mention an extra $5 for chips and salsa, making my total bill $24 (with tax and stuff) Most items here are in the $14-$20 price range. The carne Asada was flavorful but was way too chewy, being borderline indestructible and overall unpleasant to eat. In addition to that the onions were only slightly cooked and the jalapeños were not cooked at all. The person working seemed nice and was polite over the phone, but unfortunately I feel completely scammed, having been ripped off and the food quality being somewhat below average. Like seriously, this is crazy. As for the ambiance, the restaurant only has a few tables, but I did not dine in as I ordered take out. The restaurant smells good though. All in all, unfortunately, I feel completely scammed and disappointed. With that, I would not recommend El Sazon at all and I would highly encourage one to search elsewhere. read more

See all

I'm from LA and happy to find a place that reminds me of the food I grew up eating..this is authentic' Mexican food

What a surprise! My family and I usually spend the holidays in Mexico. And I have worked there on and off over the years. This year we rented a house in Door County. And we stumbled across El Sazon. Their tamales were perfectly seasoned and juicy. Their tacos Al Pastor we're too. We decided to go back for takeout breakfast and my daughter who loves Chilaquiles Ordered them with chicken and eggs in red sauce and said they were the best she has ever had. My wife had them in green sauce which was less spicy. This trip we enjoyed the hiking and typical Door County delicacies like cherry pie. But I'm pretty sure my daughter's favorite breakfast and lunch were from this little mom and pop restaurant. read more

Good food and it's kind of a fast food look for the restaurant but don't let that fool you it's top notch .

I'm still thinking about the lunch I had almost a year ago - I think they called it a Gringo? It was like a quesadilla with pork, pineapple and mushrooms. It was so good we ordered a second to take home and freeze, and since then I've tried to copy the meal myself. My husband liked his tacos pastor too. But it took me this long to figure out where we had gone, as we just happened upon it driving one day. Glad to have rediscovered it. read more

Simply excellent food. We are repeat customers and three of us enjoyed lunch today. All ordered enchiladas which are served with beans (some of the best refried beans we have ever had) and rice and a choice of red or green sauce which are both excellent. Perfect serving size for lunch at a reasonable price. Great service read more

My go to place for tacos! They're only $1.90 each and are super tasty. My favorite are the al pastor (marinated pork) and lengua (beef tongue). read more

El Sazon Mexican Restaurant - Lengua tacos - Mexican Near Me - Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin

Not a place I recommend. Service was poor, could use better cleaning after customers and a screaming child in the back/kitchen which is almost all exposed to small dining area Carne Asada was the chewiest piece of steak I've had in my life, couldn't finish that part. Flavor was good just bad cooking of the meat. Small order of chips to start with no asking if more was wanted. Just not impressed with the place! read more

Great little stop along our trip to Door County. Food was good and friendly staff. In a strip mall, but don't let that stop you from eating here. read more

If you want authentic Mexican food in Door County, this is it. I've never had anything here that I didn't love. The prices are awesome and they are great about take out orders. It's worth the drive across the bridge to check this place out. This is the best Mexican food I've had since leaving San Diego! read more

Great authentic Mexican food!!! I couldn't stop eating their salsa/chips. It's freshly made. Their burrito is huge and is filling! We decided to split a burrito and get a taco each-- a little too much for two people. Couldn't get any more authentic. read more

Food quality was pretty good, that would probably give it a 3 but the fact it was not only thrown in the To-go container and spilled all over the bag, but that they made me ask 3 times to get a new bag because mine was literally spilling on me trying to pick it up. Also, when they got my order wrong proceeded to get mad at me and talk bad about me in Spanish as if I didn't know what they were saying. Very disappointed read more

Tried to eat there in 7/18. Walked up at 11:05am doors were still locked with the neon open sign lit up. Yelp, Google, and their front door state 10am open. Didn't try the food, cant comment on that unfortunately. read more

Wish they were here in Chicago! :) We had chicken flautas plate and fajitas mixtios (chicken,shrimp and steak fajitas). The salsa either the chips is Amazing as well! Me and my husband enjoyed everything about the food! Sooo delicious and fresh! I even told my husband I wanted to take home a large salsa and he laughed at me. This will for sure be our first stop when we visit again in the spring! read more

Really good cheap tacos on our way home from Door county. So good and appreciate the authenticity.

I really was hoping that this place would be a keeper, but it's just not. It's probably the "best" mexican food in the Sturgeon Bay area, but the bar is pretty low. I've eaten at a lot of mexican restaurants in a lot of states, and this one ranks pretty far down the list for me personally. The food was dry and pretty tasteless the only time I ate there. Again, probably the best in SB, and that's why people go there, but if people had the choices of even Green Bay close by, this place wouldn't last long imo. read more

This restaurant is a tiny, hole-in-the-wall type place. Do not let that fool you! The food is amazing!!!! Fresh cooked, super flavorful, and generous portions! I have yet to have a dish I did not love, and never leave hungry. It is a family operation, Mom is the cook, Dad is the server, and the kids help out. I especially love the chimichanga, but everything is fantastic! read more

Real Mexican food by a great Mexican family. Atmosphere is nothing great but the food and friendliness of the owners more than makes up for it. read more

Delicious!!! You know its good when most of the customers are mexican. Had the al pastor tacos and tamales... we just moved from southern california and these were just like in california. Bill for two was $20. Love this authentic mexican! read more

I don't mind less atmosphere if the food and service is good, and the food WAS pretty good. But the half-filled baskets of chips and salsa were only okay. And I was really unhappy when we were CHARGED for the chips and salsa that were brought to our table!! I've never been to a Mexican restaurant that didn't provide chips and salsa. Ever. And if you ARE going to charge, it would be more honest to let patrons know instead of bringing them and then tacking on a charge to everyone's bill at the end. No drink refills were offered either--even on water. read more

I love this place! Authentic Mexican food in a small family owned restaurant. Cooked by Laura, served by her husband or their sons. My current favorite is the shrimp cocktail! Freshly cooked shrimp served in a schooner filled with fresh onion, cilantro and tomato in salsa. My second favorite is everything else (especially her rice and beans)! read more

Friendly service, reasonable prices, and very good guacamole. The menu doesn't have too many vegan options (lots of meat and cheese and the rice contains chicken broth), but they were willing to work with me and I really enjoyed my bean, avocado, and veggie sopes. read more

Excellent burritos! Well, all the food is good. Refried beans are not something I would say are a very exciting food but wow, they are awesome here. Salsa is definitely homemade because it has never tasted the same twice but is good, guacamole is also good. Very authentic having eaten mexican in a lot of places including the southwestern states. Dining experience is not much to speak of but we usually get it to go anyway. Better than Old Mexico by a long shot as far as the food goes. read more

I've become a big fan since my last review - mainly because I've found how good the Burritos are when I order them with just the ingredients I want. Still not a fan of the Guacamole, but their Nacho chips go well with my own Guac. read more

best mexican restaurant in the sturgeon bay area. Great food and nice employee's! Nothing bad to say about my experience at this restaurant.

If you really enjoy Authentic Mexican food, this is your place.. Best bean dip I had in a long time! We will be back and we don't live very close! read more

The food here is very good. Carne Asada was very yummy. Don't get turned off by the decor when you come in. The food is great. Second time visitor. read more

The place needs someone to decorate it. It had a Michael Jordan wood carving next to pancho villa? There are only about 6 tables in the place it is extremely small. The staff does not speak very good English so that is a good sign. I ordered 2 chicken sopes with rice and beans. They brought out chips and salsa. Chips were from a bag but the salsa was homemade and tasty. I received my order and first thing I noticed was that the rice and beans were homemade, quite refreshing and surprising being a so cal native. The sopes were also homemade and tasty. The chicken was a bit bland and needed some spices. The homemade sauces were good, for me there hit was not that hot. They need to do away with this place being a sit down restaurant and redesign it into a taco shop. Order at the counter and either take a seat or take it to go. Lots of potential for improvement but for now just kind of average. read more

Excellent authentic Mexican food! Even my picky children loved all the food. Must try the burritos! Don't assume because it's in the strip mall that it's not worth stopping. The best Mexican food I've had in Door County - and good prices! The owner was very nice and friendly. I definitely recommend stopping in! read more

This is the best Mexican food around. The burritos are my favorite. They are very large and filling. I highly recommend eating there.

Real Mexican food and real good. Not a great atmosphere but owners are very friendly and oh ya the food is great!
