" A lovely little restaurant tucked away in South Austin! Sazon offers dishes that are authentic and truly representative of Mexican cuisine. I enjoyed their carnitas, which were tender and flavorful. The atmosphere was casual and cozy, but the server seemed a bit overwhelmed during peak hours. Despite that, I'm looking forward to returning for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Sazon after hearing so much praise about their food. I wasn't disappointed! The mole and the cochinita pibil were both flavorful and authentic. It felt like I was eating at a relative's home. The ambiance is casual and welcoming. The only downside was that we had to wait a bit for our food, but it was definitely worth it. I can’t wait to go back and try more dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a lovely experience at Sazon! The authenticity of their food is truly commendable. I had the chicken enchiladas, and they were wonderfully flavorful! My only issue was that it took a bit longer than expected to receive our orders, but the quality was worth it. I’m excited to return soon, especially to try their mole! " (*Curated Review*)

" The experience at Sazon was decent but not spectacular. The food was satisfactory but didn’t leave a lasting impression. The service was friendly, but we had a long wait for our orders. The place itself was cozy, which I appreciated. Maybe I’ll give it another chance in the future to see if they can do better. " (*Curated Review*)
