Mi Sazón Restaurant

Possibly only one cook for the entire restaurant. Need to do better. Also, be warned about the cost of a side order of quacamole!

Every time I eat here, I always say it myself that this place has the freshest best tasting grilled chicken, grilled shrimp, seasoned vegetables, salsa, and food! I don't know how they do it, but it's so delicious and served perfectly hot every time! Actually, this is one of my two go to restaurants and favorite spots that I use all the time! It's not uncommon for me to go here every weekend for even eight weeks in a row. While the service is excellent. the food is cooked to order. So you may wait a little longer than you're used to for your food, but that's the reason why it's so delicious and so perfectly served! If you'd rather be served faster there's plenty of other options to go. You still get served fast enough though and they do put a nice bowl of chips and salsa on your table while you wait. I am sort of stubborn so every time I go I get the grilled chicken and shrimp fajitas with corn tortillas. You could also get regular tortillas. This meal is so perfect for me. I'm never gonna change but oh my goodness they have one heck of a menu. Also, this place is absolutely beautifully decorated, and you feel like you're in Mexico City! I guess it's time to let the secret out, you'll really be happy you went here!

Then when I told him I don't eat meat and am allergic to avocado, he offered to cook some new vegetables fresh, because they were out and it was 15 minutes to close, so they had not made a new batch. I said no because I didn't want to trouble him and he insisted that it would be no trouble and would finish cooking before I finished ordering. He also helped me choose between the burrito and a bowl based on how hungry I was and whether I wanted leftovers. It has been a long time since I encountered someone so helpful working in a food service establishment. He had a great attitude and I hope his supervisors see this post. Fantastic employee! The cashier was also helpful and friendly. The food was fresh and delicious! I hope this place stays in business. Please give it a try so it's there for me when I'm hungry. :-) Thanks!

I counted at least eight TVs, making it a great place to catch a game while enjoying a meal. We went with our little toddler, and she loved the kids' mac and cheese. We started with the calamari and wings, both of which were very good. For our entrees, we had chicken Caesar salad, chopped salad, spicy sausage, pizza, and coconut salad--and everything was excellent! Dessert was just as delicious. We had the brownie sundae and a cookie molding, and both were a perfect way to end the meal. The service was also excellent. Our waiter, Torin, was so sweet, attentive, and accommodating, especially with our toddler. Another big plus is the excellent parking, which makes the whole experience even easier. Overall, Moore Tavern is a great little spot with good food, a cozy atmosphere, friendly service, and plenty of parking. We had a wonderful experience and can't wait to come back!

We were seated almost immediately. The restaurant had just a few tables occupied. The restaurant was clean, quiet and our seating was spacious. We were promptly attended to. Second, we were given a Father's Day menu which was a very abbreviated version of their usual menu. Our server was quick to point out that if there was anything we wanted that was on the normal menu that we remembered, all we had to do was ask. We were delighted. We placed our drink orders. We were given plenty of time to review the menu and discuss what else we might want from the regular menu. We placed our orders. The wait for our meals was commensurate with the number of people. The food arrived piping hot. Everyone was served within minutes. The food was absolutely delicious and the portions enormous. I ordered 2 appetizers thinking they were going to be reasonable. I fed most of the table while still having enough for myself. Needless to say, to-go containers were necessary. Last, I want to say again that this was my and my wife's third visit. Each time we were served and attended to by Danna (?). I can't say enough positive things about her. She was attentive, friendly, warm, patient and very happy and helpful. She was very accepting even though I was doing my best with my high school Spanish. For my wife and me, I will ask for Danna to be our server and will be as much of a regular patron as possible. I would highly recommend El Familiar. You can't beat the ambiance, food quality and service.

The staff was kind when we picked up the food and the ambiance was similar to any mexican take out place. The chips were the perfect crunch and seemed homemade. We bought chips and salsa and it came with a green and red sauce. Both sauces were good. We ordered a side of guacamole. It came in a sauce container and is overpriced for the quantity. It was bland and probably not worth ordering. The taco had good flavor, but the meat in it was chewy. The loco burrito was massive and the ingredients were dispursed well, however the ingredients were slightly bland. We were going back and forth on if this place is a 2 or 3.

My tostadas came with another bowl and I don't know what it was. My tostadas were bland and dry then suddenly a small amount of sauce appeared on the right side of my tostada. I wish it was on the whole tostada to take away the dryness. The dish came with potatoes which tasted fine but were so greasy. My husband ordered the trio fajita and wasn't impressed.

It seemed like chili powder was supposed to be added, but I did not taste or see any. The corn could have been cooked a little better too. Guacamole - This was tasty. It appeared fresh and paired well with the chips given. I really liked the texture of it too. Chicken Flautas - These were deep fried tortillas with chicken, sour cream, lettuce, and cotija cheese I believe. These were solid. The chicken could have been seasoned a little more, but the tortillas were crisp and held up. Choriqueso Con Tortillas Tostadas - This was melted jack and Oaxacan cheese topped with Mexican chorizo over toasted nixtamal homemade corn tortillas. The cheese and chorizo was excellent, with lots of flavor. It did not look the best but tasted good. The corn tortilla was either old and stale or just fried way too long as it was very tough to chew. It could have made for a great bite. Will I go back? Debatable.
