I’ve eaten here several times for brunch and dinner. The food is delicious and portions are generous. Some standouts: the breakfast items, the molcajete, which is so good, has so much variety and is super filling. I also loved the chicharron and grilled shrimp tostadas. In general, I love their grilled shrimp – so fresh and tender.

Amazing find!!! Unassuming, underdog, and a true hidden gem. Absolutely recommend their food. They use fresh ingredients. One of my favorite details that packed a punch was the fresh jalapeño in the guacamole. Sooooo delicious! Enjoy and, you’re welcome.

I placed a online order but they didn’t receive my order. The girl that helped me had my order made pretty quick and it was a good burrito but the price for the chips and salsa is not worth it.

We dined at El Buen Sazón for the first time today, and we look forward to our next visit so we can try more of their food. I ordered the shrimp enchiladas verde and my husband ordered the carnitas skillet. Both dishes were some of the best Mexican food we’ve had in a long time.

Take out/pick-up. We tried the Carnitas Super Burrito. Huge portion and it came with fries. The flavor was good. No surprises. Carnitas were tender not dry. Favorite part was the salsa on the side. Red was spicy. Green had a fresh flavor. They were both excellent and turned a 3 star burrito into 4 stars.

Hidden gem! Tested out this new place before ordering mobile catering for my daughter’s graduation party. The food is delicious and the owners are very nice and accommodating. Their veggies tacos and burritos are amazing! Most places just use refried beans and cheese, but here they include onions, mushrooms, bell peppers. They will customize – I prefer black beans to pinto. Be warned – red sauce is pretty darn spicy! The mobile catering was a hit and the cook himself came, cooked the meat at the party with their mobile grill. Their price for mobile catering was very reasonable – I called around to several of the highly reviewed mobile taco catering places and this place had the best price and they took our order less than 2 weeks before the event. We got many compliments on the food at the party, and our family still enjoys coming back to this place! A little pricey for plates and agree with another reviewer I would prefer lower price without the fries for the burrito. Haven’t tried breakfast items yet but per other reviews – sounds like it would be a hit for the fam. Love all the different options on their menu! Seems like their service could be faster – but I think they don’t experienced waiters so perhaps that will improve as they hire more staff. Overall though, the quality and taste is excellent!

Great food, little pricy. Burritos are super sized, but come with suspiciously good fries. Personally would pay less for just the burrito though.

I ordered vegetarian burrito that had refried beans, rice, and cheese. Very delicious, along the red and green salsas. The portion was good for the price.
