Visiting Que Sazon Restaurant and Ceviche Bar with my family was one of the highlights of our trip…read more From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed by a warm and friendly atmosphere that immediately made us feel comfortable. The restaurant had a lively energy while still being relaxed enough for a family meal. The menu offered a great variety of dishes, and everyone in our family found something they were excited to try. The ceviche was the star of the meal, prepared with fresh ingredients and full of bright, vibrant flavors. It tasted incredibly fresh and perfectly balanced, with just the right amount of citrus and seasoning. We also ordered several traditional dishes to share, which allowed us to experience a range of flavors and cooking styles. What impressed us most was the quality of the food. Every dish arrived beautifully presented and tasted homemade, with authentic flavors that reflected great attention to detail. The seafood was especially fresh, and the portions were generous, making the meal feel like excellent value. The staff were attentive and welcoming throughout our visit, happily answering questions and offering recommendations from the menu. Their hospitality added to the overall experience and made us feel like valued guests rather than just customers. Another thing we enjoyed was the atmosphere. The restaurant had a colorful and inviting setting that created a pleasant dining experience for both adults and children. It was the kind of place where you could relax, enjoy good conversation, and take your time over a delicious meal. Overall, our visit to Que Sazon Restaurant and Ceviche Bar was a wonderful family experience. The combination of fresh food, friendly service, and a welcoming atmosphere made it a meal we will remember for a long time. I would gladly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for authentic flavors and a memorable dining experience with family or friends. Gus Woltmann

They'll also validate parking at the garage. We came for dinner before a show at the Mortgage Matchup Arena (which is just a quick 0.5 mile walk over). Happened to hit happy hour, which was just a few dollar savings, but nice. We tried the following: -Empanada Pabellon with Pernil: loved the plantains inside mixed the pork! -Empanada Colombiana Beef: good -Pollo and mango tostones: the tostones itself were a bit tough to chew on -Ceviche mixto: I've never had fried calamari with ceviche but it was nice and refreshing mixed with it! -Piña Tiradito: presentation was lovely and tasted just as great! I can never taste the fruit or make out the flavors for ciders and I'm a sucker for anything guava so was excited for the Sazon guava hibiscus cider, and while it was nice, sadly couldn't make out the flavors. Overall, cute space with bites to share and we'll be back as the burritos sounded good as well.

We seated ourselves at a booth since it wasn't quite busy and that just means more room for our food and drinks to spread out *teehee* The cocktails were amazing my cousin ordered the espresso martini which she loved they make the espresso fresh. I went with a gin cocktail that had coconut flavors something I would never consider with gin but if you read my reviews you know gin is my preferred spirit. It was so good! For two people we ordered three types of empanadas we probably could have gotten away with two flavors and maybe a lighter tapa or desert but really wanted to try the cheese and guava empanada and didn't want that to be a main option in case we didn't like it. Needless to say we really liked all three: picadillo, arroz con pollo and guava and cheese - the picadillo was the favorite however both for the inside flavor and the accompanying dip. Pricing is not bad I'd say the serving and size of the three empanadas for $14 is a great price.

Since then they have removed the plantain chips and still offer mashed plantains...and a very small serving. I ordered a cuban sandwich which was good but I guess I expected it to look more appealing on a plate such as with garnish. Since it was the middle of June it was already hot outside at a cool 105 degrees temperature. We were surprised to see the restaurant had the front door propped completely open letting the hot air into the restaurant. Since this is a small restaurant you really couldn't escape the heat. The heat unfortunately caused us to leave after a short while.

This food truck was stationed outside my climbing gym yesterday. My friend who joined me to climb…read morewas hungry, so we gave this place a try. For $16, you get four mixed empanadas of your choice. That's a good deal, I think. But, the empanadas were on the smaller side. The owner was very friendly and informative and let us know these empanadas are made in the Columbian style. She also mentioned she lived in Mexico for many years and learned to make empanadas the Mexican way and combined some of those flavors also. The empanadas I had were all very tasty and I liked the salsa verde that came with the empanadas. I had the traditional (had a kick to it) and arroz con pollo. I gave Sherpa the calentado and chorizo ones, but no report back if they were good lol. My only gripe here is that the empanadas were a little more greasy than I usually like. On their website and in photos, they say their empanadas are air fried, but I think I recall seeing oil fryers outdoors yesterday. I try to keep fried foods to a limit as I don't always feel great after eating a greasy meal. And I have to maintain a svelte physique, just kidding there. Diabetes and heart disease run in my family, so I am very mindful of what I put into my temple. I also ate these after climbing as there is no way I could have had these empanadas in my stomach prior. Also interesting is that the vegetarian and vegan ones were kind of food color green. I guess you need to be able to differentiate them, but the color was off-putting. I'd give this place another try but would prefer baked empanadas. I love empanadas, just please hold the grease.
