Stopped into this casual restaurant for dinner before going home. Nice sized dining room and was greeted immediately. I ordered the shrimp enchiladas and got chips and salsa while I waited. I didn't wait long for my dish to be brought to me. Unfortunately, my enchiladas came without shrimp. The server shows two bring me some grilled shrimp to eat with my meal - lol! Consequently, I sat there quite some time and my food got cold. Since I was hungry, I ate it the way it came and I was not happy. I expressed my concerns to the Manager and he DEFINITELY made it right. The new meal I was served was tasty and what I would've expected for the dish. IF I'm this way again, I'd give them a second chance.... read more

The foods is delicious and the staff was friendly and attentive. They have some really good lunch specials.

Amazing drinks, food and service! The staff are all family, having been in the service industry in the Gainesville, Haymarket, Bristow area for years. They love what they do, taking care of their customers (and making great food and drinks) and it is worth paying them a visit - in fact, make it your routine! You won't regret it, I promise.

Great dinner! See you tomorrow! Great food great hospitality. Thanks for a wonderful dinner!

The service was fast, the food was tasty and well seasoned, the margaritas were huge, what more could you want!

My wife and I stopped by Sazon Latina on a late Sunday morning on the way back from a drive to Bluemont, VA. We wanted something more substantial than breakfast and found numerous positive reviews on Yelp. Generous portions. Exceptionally fresh ingredients. Beautifully presented dishes. Friendly and welcoming wait staff. Overall, it was a wonderful meal. P.S. Ask to try the homemade hot sauce. I liked it so much I ordered a container to take home with me! read more

Use to love this place but last few times we ordered it's been disappointing Missing food but charged and sent burnt food Changed chicken soup now with chunk of over cooked breast Just sad as we loved this place but last 4 orders this was the quality read more

Oooo! If you come, be sure to ask for Marvin! He is quite attentive and makes excellent recommendations! On our visit we arrived in time for happy hour which is a favorite if you can make it between 3pm-6pm! But they have many specials though even if you miss happy hour. Taco Tuesday night is a thrill and the Monday fajita special is a sure winner! We had their carne asada tacos on a lovely taco Tuesday plus a delicious happy hour margarita! The meat was a perfect tender texture with fresh cilantro and onions with their house-made green hot salsa. Just the perfect dab of spice to brighten up the authentic flavors. Oh and to end the night we sampled their delicious flan. And as a true connoisseur of flan, theirs was genuine custard with a hint of cinnamon. A true delight for the taste buds. Not too sweet and definitely a true flan texture. read more

Decided to stop in here one afternoon for linner, on our way home from Baltimore. It is a nice location, but the food is just average. It did not seem like any of the tortilla chips were made in house. We ordered some queso and it was ok but not much flavor to it. I ordered the nachos with chicken and a chile relleno and my wife ordered the El Paso tacos. The nachos and tacos were pretty good, but the chile relleno should be renamed breaded sadness. I am pretty sure that it was 93% breading, 4% cheese and only 3% chile. read more

Very good service. Clean area. Accessible . The burritos and the snapper were delicious!!

Went to this place after a round of golf from Stonewall. It's a fantastic place to eat. Food a very delicious, I got the steak fajitas. The other dishes on the table were fantastic looking and everyone ate everything on their plate. They all said the food was delicious too. Great place to eat and family owned restaurants. The service was very attentive. read more

I stopped in for dinner one evening, just a tad after 5:00 pm. The restaurant was empty when I walked in - which made me wonder what was going on - but within 10 minutes, six other parties arrived - and the restaurant was hopping. Sazon Latina bills itself as "Central American" cuisine - which I have very little experience with. But being a foodie - I will try anything. So I opted to order something off the menu that I have never experienced before: Polla Guisado. It's a stewed chicken dish, with a rich, delicious, savory sauce with carrots and potatoes. The flavor was luxurious - and the chicken has to be amongst the most ridiculously tender and succulent - I've ever encountered! Service was good, staff was great! Highly recommended! #SazonLatina read more

Was going to a concert and wanted to stop for an early dinner. Found this Salvadorian / Tex-Mex restaurant. The food was delicious and fresh. We tried their sampler platter, which is amazing. We tried several dishes but need to go back. Great service and folks are friendly. They have various specials. This is a 4.5 review. It's a bit of a ride for us. We will be back. read more

Food is incredible and the family who owns it is so nice. Service was fast. Fajitas were amazing. Kids were super happy.

Always order food for my team at work, decided to take the family and no surprises. Food it's really good! Sazon is what they have that many restaurants don't have. Some may say prices are a bit high, but I say you get what you pay for. Their waiters are so friendly and take good care of you. Will definitely come back! read more

Sazon Latina - Lomo Saltado was great! - Latin American Near Me - Gainesville, Virginia

My husband and I just visited for the first time. It was so good! The service was very attentive. The food came out fast and fresh. Very hot. I had fajitas w chicken and steak. It even came with a dollop of butter which is always a wonder addition to keeping meat moist and flavorful. My husband had the grilled chicken chimichanga. He said was outstanding. It was not your usual shredded chicken. I also had their frozen margarita. It was flavorful and very good! Highly recommend. Will be back! read more

Love this place. Solid for takeout and even better if you eat in. The chicken tacos are delicious - perfectly grilled chicken, cilantro and onion - just how a taco should be. The rice is so good. The pupusas are delicious too. Their salsa is great and if you can tolerate heat, try the spicy salsa verde. They also have a great bar and hospitable staff. We came on a rainy Tuesday night near closing time and felt totally welcomed and comfortable. Will definitely come back! read more

I was excited to try this place out with all the 5 star reviews. Now, I'm wondering what turn in the road could have led my 2 star review. Was it a honeymoon period that finally wore off? Could be, I guess. Upon entering, you see the dining and bar area is a big open room. Very clean. I appreciate that. I, of course, order cheese nachos and a coke. While I did eat all of my nachos, they really weren't the kind I would be interested in ordering again. Extreme cheese. I think the refried beans were under the cheese. Made them look a bit like ravioli. I forked the toppings onto each and folded like mini tacos to eat them. I say again, it was too much cheese. Also the jalapeños had a texture of mushrooms and were not spicy or hot, nor did they even smell like jalapeños. How does that happen? And in a Latino restaurant? I also asked for coffee to replace my coke. It was flat. Like the taste was odd. Waiter seemed not to want to confirm coffee though it was on the menu, instead he suggested coke from a can. I agreed. I asked for 2 arrow con Pollo dishes to go. They were each very large portions! Huge chicken on a deep bed of rice with orange queso. My son liked it. For me? I added some sautéed cauliflower and broccoli to mine and cut it all up. It was delicious. Oh! Let me not forget to cheer their salsa! Their salsa was the best by a long shot of any other location I've been too. Delicious! I give 2 stars because I can tell it's on or off. Health/sanitation rating is low. Coke machine needs to be serviced. Nachos, not my style. And finally, again, what's up with the mushy non-spicy jalapeños??? I don't want to know, actually. If kids dad suggested coming here, I'd prob go... we'll see.. read more

Ordered from here a few times the last month. Pupusas are very good, the steak burrito was a good size and taste. Looking forward to dining in soon read more

Solid steak fajitas and great service! We were greeted and seated right away. They had a large party their but the severs did not miss a beat! We Were given some warm chips and very delish salsa. I could tell that it was home made, well my hubby pointed this out and I realized it had to be with how delish it was. We both landed on fajitas hubby did steak and Shrimp and did steak only. The food was solid. The restaurant was definitely chilly but once I sat down I didn't really notice. We were checked on constantly, and the food was solid. Would definitely recommend this place. read more

I need to preface this by saying the food has great taste. If you eat here, get the steak. It's well marinated and cooked to your preference. That being said, I'm writing a review based on the price to size ratio; it's below average. The photo attached is an order of nachos. 8 round tortilla chips with two to three tiny cubes of steak. We also got a small chips and salsa, which amounted to roughly 15 chips and no salsa (they forgot it). So for steak fajitas, 8 nachos, 15 chips/ no salsa, and 2 small margaritas. You can expect to pay over $70. So if you're good with the price, this place is for you. I wish this place had larger food portions or cheaper prices. Again, the taste is there and I can't fault them on that. The price for the amount of food, always has me second guessing myself. When I eat here again, it'll be just for steak fajitas and it'll be when I'm willing to spend. If you want good Mexican food for a very reasonable price, I highly recommend Hectors of Nokesville. They remain my go to spot for both price and quality. read more

My first visit to Sazon Latina I sat at the bar and had the opportunity to visit with the owner while I enjoyed the Lomo Saltado. He is the consummate small business owner who has a wonderful demeanor and genuinely cares about working hard to produce a great product. Now I enjoy making the journey to Gainesville from Chantilly (~20 miles and 20 minutes) whenever I can to enjoy their excellent food. Sazon Latina has a great ambience and the food is varied, excellent and very fairly priced. So is the drinks menu and there are many choices of premium margaritas to slake your thirst. You will be served by an extremely friendly wait and bar staff. If you haven't tried the Lomo Saltado, though, with tender, grilled NY strip it's possible you haven't lived. Five stars and two thumbs up! read more

Great food and awesome drinks, I highly recommend this restaurant to everyone. It's definitely a hidden gem.

Delicious grilled chicken and steak burritos. Guacamole and chips are also one of a kind!!! The chips are crispy yet soft, it's just the best. Also, the chicken soup is perfect for if you're feeling under the weather. A true neighborhood favorite, with the sweetest staff that will make sure you have a pleasant experience - which is rare to come by these days. Definitely recommend. read more

Best food Salvadoran food in. gainesvillle va! Every one it's a must try! And you will not be disappointed !!! Everyone must try

Everything exceeded my expectations. $5 models drafts for happy hour and 3 tacos for 8 bucks. How can you go wrong?

We ordered the Carne Asada Salvadorean for our main course. The skirt steak was excellent with a good flavor. It was accompanied with Spanish rice. refried beans, salad and 2 homemade tortillas. For desert we shared a very tasty flan. The wait staff was efficient and quiet personable. Everything was better than expected. read more

The food and service was excellent. The Staff was great and very informative. I can't wait to go again.

I have driven by this place multiple times and finally decided to stop and try it out. Normally I drive to Manassas to get half descent latin food, specifically Pupusas. I'm so happy this place is 10 min from my house. The staff was very welcoming and super helpful. I placed my order to go so I didn't get the full experience, but the restaurant seemed very clean and nice. I had the Red Snapper and my daughter had the bean and cheese pupusas. The fish was fresh and amazing! The pupusas were not life changing but good enough versus driving to Manassas. I would definitely come back! read more
