Sazon Latino, located on Main Street in Boonton just a few steps from the NJ Transit station, is…read moredefinitely a hidden gem. It's a very casual, cafeteria-style spot with a semi-open kitchen, but don't let the simplicity fool you -- the food is incredible and the staff here is friendly and patient. The highlight of the experience is the small buffet that features a variety of freshly-made Latin cuisine -- including pulled pork, chicken and beef stews, and other traditional Latin entrees and sides. You can build your own plate by selecting one or more entrees and sides - which are priced accordingly. As a 'gringo' who wasn't entirely sure what everything was, I really appreciated them taking the extra time to explain all the different options and give me their honest recommendations. The counterstaff is bilingual and were pretty patient with my elementary school level Spanish vocabulary and grammar. I ended up going with the pulled pork platter with two sides ($7) and it was terrific -- the perfectly seasoned and tender pork, black beans and rice, and macaroni salad were delicious and very filling. You can tell they use fresh ingredients, and the portions are very generous for the price. If you're looking for authentic, home-style Latino food in a laid-back setting, this is the spot! PRO TIP #1: Bring a bottle of wine or beer from home to enjoy with your meal. Sazon Latino is a BYOB establishment and does not serve alcohol. PRO TIP #2: Sazon Latino offers free off-street parking in a small lot behind the restaurant and there's plenty of free on-street parking on Main Street.

Oh my god, it tastes exactly as the chicken soup my grandma made back home in Azerbaijan. Its healing and i asked the waitress to please never take it off the menu. (Like she has control ) - The people working here are super nice and polite. - Food is outstanding - we felt like we were actually traveling in Guatemala while we ate inside - price for the amount of food is more than fair - love that they dont blast the AC in the summer (seems like only a fan is on but it feels comfortable)

Came here on a Friday night. We were a party of 4, but we were still waiting on 2 people to arrive…read more They sat 2 of us immediately, but we waited about 20-25 minutes for anyone to come by and see if we wanted to order any appetizers/drinks. When the waiter finally came over, he said he just needed a few more minutes and would be with us shortly. The 2 other guests in our party arrived, and that's when the waiter came over to take our order. As we started giving him our appetizer order, we noticed he wasn't writing anything down. We knew our order would be incorrect; and it was. We ordered 1 chicken empanada, 1 beef empanada, and tostones. When they brought them to the table, we noticed there were 2 beef empanada, no chicken. Taste was bland, definitely missing something. Tostones were DELICIOUS. We ordered 2 diet cokes and a regular coke. I do like that they bring out the entire can of Diet Coke and the glass bottle of regular coke. It isn't fountain soda! Entree order: three of us ordered steaks, and one of us ordered the frijolada. The frijolada was good. I ordered my steak medium and that was a BIG mistake. It was SO red and the taste was terrible. Also very thin and flimsy. The two other steaks were ordered well done and those tasted better, but still very very thin. Dessert: we all ordered the tres leches, and oh my goodness! SOO GOOD!!! Presentation was gorgeous and flavor was great!! Cost: a bit on the pricey side, our bill was $240 for 4 people. The menu items are $1-$2 cheaper if you pay the bill with cash. There is a bakery on one side of the place where you can purchase misc items such as bread! This was cute! Overall, my party had mixed reviews on the food, so this is definitely a spot you should try at least once to make a determination. I'd definitely give it another try and order something else!

Waiter was nice, wasn't sure of menu items (ingredients and how to explain them in the dishes) and so we just went off the menu. We got 4 empanadas (2 chicken and 2 beef - they were good), 3 shrimp mofongos, and 1 chicken chunks with rice and pigeon peas. The price for the mofongo was high but we were like we love this dish so we need to try it. We get a medium sized mound of plantains with the shrimp already inside of it. That's fine BUT with the parts of the shrimp already mashed into it, I didn't even have 3 full compete shrimp, inside or in the side. The sauce that came with it, was oily, thick and not flavorful. The price was too high for the quality and food we got, or lack there of. Not even a side salad or anything to go with it. I left my mofongo because it was too dry and the overpowering of garlic, was too much. The other 2 with my same dish, expressed the same things as me. The chicken chunks dish, he couldn't finish them because they lacked flavor and because the coating looked burnt. However the chicken was tender but had no flavor at all. I tried it and left it on my plate with the mofongo I couldn't finish. Service was great, but food is lacking flavor.

We both ordered the skirt steak and were just so so so pleased at how it came out. We want to come back and (big surprise) get the exact same thing again. We ordered it medium rare they both came out beautifully. So so so flavorful. Faaaaaantastic. The broccoli had a smoky taste to it--so so good. And the potatoes were also good. .5 deduction because there are no fresh beers on draft, only bottled beer. That would make this a five star establishment in my opinion. But it kind of already is. Hence, five stars.

I got a large order of stewed chicken with yellow rice and black beans, plus two beef empanadas. Stewed chicken was tender and moist, feel right off the bone good and it really soaked up the gravy sauce, like carrots and potatoes. Yellow rice was fluffy and lightly seasoned, black beans were good, not much on them. Now the beef empanadas, they best part of the meal, the outer crust, was fresh and flaky, I love well seasoned crust and the filling, plenty of beef chucks and ground up beef, I like it was mix of two rather then just ground beef. Dipping sauce was amazing for the empanadas, very spicy and savory.
