    Food: 10/10 Chicken flautas had really good flavor Sazon has Happy Hour all day Friday until 9pm Our service was okay, waitress was handling a few more tables for the dinner rush, so we don't blame her. Can't wait to be back for more happy hour drinks!!

    Nice restaurant, clean and festively decorated. First visit since moved from strip mall; quite an upgrade. Lots of tables, plenty of parking. But very loud with little to absorb voices. Server very friendly and helpful. Chips and salsa ok. Food is good, all served warm and well prepared. Great tortillas. Chicken could be seasoned a bit more (pinch of salt!), and the beef dried up a bit on the nachos, presumably when cheese was melted. Rice good, beans ok. Overall a good lunch. Next time will just get tacos to have more of those tortillas!

    This place was a huge surprise but definitely worth the stop. We have driven past this restaurant and never stopped.... Boy were we mistaking. The staff was very friendly and welcoming... facility was open, spacious, clean and decorated very nice. The ambiance were perfect... music softly playing in the background, busy place full of guest laughing, talking and enjoying their experiences. THE FOOD was incredible.. and "everything!!!!" tasted AMAZING! We had the Chili Relleno plate and the Street tacos with chorizo, bacon, and asada which cooked and seasoned perfectly! The charro beans were also amazing and you have to try them! Our waiter was also awesome, very attentive, suggestive and receptive to our questions and request. We recommend this place and we plan to return to try other dishes very soon!

    Saxon Mexican Cafe has truly earned its reputation! I had been eyeing the busy parking lot for weeks and finally decided to experience it for myself. I never get the chance to experience their food from the original location though. From the moment I pulled up last Friday, I was impressed by the immaculate exterior of the building--a gem that's been standing strong since its December 2013 official opening. Stepping inside, the inviting ambience continued with every detail reflecting care and hospitality. From the warm welcome by the hostess to the attentive service by Adam R, our waiter, and the friendly bar and food staff, every team member made us feel right at home. I indulged in their Fish Taco plate--featured as a Lenten special--and was blown away by the explosion of flavors. It's clear they take pride in preparing fresh dishes; the food was far removed from typical fast food fare, with just the right balance of seasoning. I ordered extra serving of their Mole Sauce to find out how good it is, I was not disappointed. My cousin's Enchiladas Verdes also won his heart, proving that every dish here is thoughtfully crafted. They really keep their promise that they are not a fast food restaurant that they prepare their food to order...the taste and quality prove that. Our experience didn't end there--we returned Sunday morning for breakfast and were greeted with the same warmth and exceptional quality. I'm already looking forward to bringing the rest of my family to share in this great home-cooked Mexican food experience. Highly recommended!

    Fajita plate with chicken and Beef Fajita Plate

    Never heard of this place but came for a family member's birthday. Ordered the fajita plate with beef and chicken. It was good but nothing special, the beans and rice were a nice addition but again nothing special. Happy hour is nice the margaritas were delicious! I will give them another shot.

    Tortilla soup
    Diana G.

    My friend was in from out of town and was craving Mexican food. I had heard great things about this restaurant and know that it is always packed. We did go on a Sunday for brunch and we did wait about 20 minutes to get seated. Our waitress was always on it. We were served chips and salsa right away. Our order was taken as soon as we were ready. I ordered the Sazon special. It is a breakfast plate with two fried tortillas and two eggs made your way on top with beans and breakfast potatoes on the side . I kind of expected the tortillas to be a little bit crispy, but they made for a perfect breakfast taco anyways. My friend ordered the tortilla soup and the enchilada kids plate. The rice and beans were delicious. The enchilada plate was good. I ordered an à la cart pancake. That is the only thing that I thought was not worth it. Maybe stick to the Mexican food at this restaurant. We ordered the margarita-mosa. The addition of tequila is a great idea. A mix of tequila sunrise and mimosa in one drink. Parking is available on site, but it can get full quickly. There is street parking as well. The restaurant is big with plenty of seating. They also have a bar with bar seating.

    This was my first time eating at this restaurant. The tortilla chips that came with the salsa was too spicy for me to even eat. Maybe they need to tone it down a bit or serve a mild sauce with that one . The food was nothing special it didn't really stand out to me. I drove about 15 miles one way to try this restaurant out. The tortilla chips were served in a very small bowl so we ordered another bowl and we were charged for that. Also, I want to mention that I had the enchilada verdes and the tomatillo sauce was very bitter. I had to scrape most of the sauce off of it so I could eat the enchiladas.

    Food is very good. It's a big restaurant with regulars. Staff know most of the diners. The service is excellent and the tables aren't too close. It's not loud. I have been a couple of times and always enjoyed the food.

    We come to Sazon at least once a week. Always hits, never misses. Food is always hot and flavorful. Staff is always very courteous snd friendly. Nothing but high praise for Sazon.

    Chilaquiles Mexicana with egg, and carne asada.
    Kimberly C.

    I am from Los Angeles and I have been trying to find authentic Mexican chilaquiles with salsa verde. I finally found a spot that compares and am so excited. They have hand made tortillas, and all of their food is fresh cooked to order. If you are in a rush this place is not for you. Since the food is made when you order everything comes out very hot and fresh. They offer free chips and salsa with their meals and their salsa is so tasty and spicy. We came to eat on a Sunday at 10am and only had to wait about 10 minutes. Service was great, decor was cute, and we are excited to return to try more things.

    Salsa was picosita, loved it!

Having grown up in San Antonio, I have literally been to Mi Tierra's 100s of times. When you walk into the restaurant you experience immediate sensory overload (so much to see where it is hard to focus)...papel picado strung everywhere...in different colors...in different textures...metallic and paper...wow wow wow!!! In addition, there are artful configurations clustered with lots of color and spiritual references highlighting the Mexican American culture. Also, there are pinatas strung from the ceiling in metallic colors, which is a bit unusual for pinatas (usually made from paper). The restaurant also has stained glass windows and a mural. On this particular occasion, I was in the restaurant for bakery goods. Mi Tierra specializes in Mexican pastries. It looked like it would be a quick in and out, however, with so many sweets, every customer asked questions and deftly decided on their sweets de jour. Since I waited for a bit, I decided on three...peanut brittle (the hubs said he had not had any since childhood), pecan praline (for me) and a pecan pound cake (split between the hubs and myself). All were incredible delicious. Yep, we ate them all in one day. It is important to note that the prices in the bakery are extremely reasonable. Excellent sweets experience...

    Party of 2 on Monday 1730…read more OVERALL Great service, great food, great ambiance. SERVICE Seated right away. Mario was our kind and happy server. He provided great recommendations. He checked us often and refilled our waters often. CHIPS AND SALSA Complimentary. Tortilla chips are freshly made, oil it was cooked in tasted well, and the salsa was flavorful with roasted ingredients. FLOUR TORTILLA Very fresh, the right amount of salt and moisture, hot, toasted perfectly, just the right thickness, and teared apart very well. CHALUPA COMBO The chalupa was made with a typical crispy tortilla. Placed next to the enchilada so it made it a bit difficult to grab since one half of the chalupa got soggy. EL RANCHO SPECIAL Recommended by Mario. Selected beef tips. The beef was very tender and flavorful, the sauce was flavorful with spice and savory, the rice/beans were well seasoned and flavorful. The guacamole/lettice/cheese was placed into a taco shell. The guacamole was very fresh and had a great texture with varying chunks of avocado. ENCHILADA POBLANO The shredded chicken was juicy and well seasoned. The poblano mole sauce was mildly creamy, tasted of delicious poblanos, seasoned well, and added a refreshing contrast to the savory chicken filling. The pickled onions were a refreshing addition and had a great snap to them. AMBIANCE Feels like we were in a home. The place is decorated vibrantly. The decorations were also very bright and clean. The booth was comfortable and relaxing.

We ordered the half chicken ($11), and I was honestly surprised by how juicy and moist it still was inside. The outside had a wonderful smoky charcoal flavor, and the marinade was flavorful all the way through. It also came with rice, corn tortillas, red and green salsa, grilled jalapeño, lime, and grilled onion, so it was a really filling meal for the price. We also tried the Bean Burger ($9.79), which was a fun combination of a beef patty, refried beans, cheese, chipotle sauce, and pico de gallo. I enjoyed it, although I personally would have loved a thicker layer of beans. The green salsa was SO good that I ended up buying an extra container for about $5 to take home. The restaurant itself is very casual and no-frills, with a big charcoal grill that really adds to the atmosphere--you can see and smell the chicken cooking. It feels much more like a local neighborhood spot than a polished tourist restaurant. Service was also very friendly and attentive. Even though we arrived late, we never felt rushed, and our server checked on us several times to make sure we had everything we needed. I would absolutely come back for the chicken and green salsa.
