Sazon Latino, located on Main Street in Boonton just a few steps from the NJ Transit station, is…read moredefinitely a hidden gem. It's a very casual, cafeteria-style spot with a semi-open kitchen, but don't let the simplicity fool you -- the food is incredible and the staff here is friendly and patient. The highlight of the experience is the small buffet that features a variety of freshly-made Latin cuisine -- including pulled pork, chicken and beef stews, and other traditional Latin entrees and sides. You can build your own plate by selecting one or more entrees and sides - which are priced accordingly. As a 'gringo' who wasn't entirely sure what everything was, I really appreciated them taking the extra time to explain all the different options and give me their honest recommendations. The counterstaff is bilingual and were pretty patient with my elementary school level Spanish vocabulary and grammar. I ended up going with the pulled pork platter with two sides ($7) and it was terrific -- the perfectly seasoned and tender pork, black beans and rice, and macaroni salad were delicious and very filling. You can tell they use fresh ingredients, and the portions are very generous for the price. If you're looking for authentic, home-style Latino food in a laid-back setting, this is the spot! PRO TIP #1: Bring a bottle of wine or beer from home to enjoy with your meal. Sazon Latino is a BYOB establishment and does not serve alcohol. PRO TIP #2: Sazon Latino offers free off-street parking in a small lot behind the restaurant and there's plenty of free on-street parking on Main Street.

This time I called before I went, to find out the lunch special, and I was hung up on 3 times. I could hear someone on the line, but they didn't speak. My daughter and I decided to go anyway to see what was included in the special for the day. We ordered two drink specials, a lunch special, and an item on the lunch menu. The bartender took care of us as there weren't that many people in the restaurant. The food was really good, but then when it was time to pay, the server/bartender tried to make us pay regular dinner price for an item on the lunch menu. We ordered straight off the iPad with her help, but when it was time to pay, she tried to say the items weren't available even though we had showed her what we wanted directly from the IPad photo menu. She said we'd have to wait 20 minutes for a manager to help us. When the manager arrived (from another room), the server tried to say that the item wasn't available and then she tried to say that we had ordered a different meal than what was shown. It took us about 20 minutes to have our bill adjusted. Even though the food was very good, the customer service was not good in the least.

I've driven by this food truck countless times and there's always been a line, but it's gotten even crazier since TikTok blew it up. I came early and still waited about 20-30 minutes before placing my order, but honestly, the wait didn't even feel that bad. The staff were incredibly friendly and made the wait in line a no sweat. While everyone was waiting, they handed out free fries with their homemade sauce, which was such a nice surprise! They also passed out bottles of cold water and even let parents with young kids order first. It's little gestures like these that really show they care about their customers and their community. The chimichurri and all of their sauces are made fresh daily, and you can definitely taste the difference--they're absolutely delicious!! I had everything on my steak and fries (Steak was made medium rare to order and just how I like it; fries were crispy good!!) Beyond the amazing food, the father and son owners were some of the kindest people I've met. They genuinely radiate positivity, treat everyone with respect, and create such a welcoming atmosphere. It's rare to find a place with incredible food and people who care this much about their customers. This is the kind of local business that deserves all the success! I'll definitely be back!

My girlfriend visited this food truck the weekend before and highly recommended it to me. Since I'm…read morenotoriously picky when it comes to restaurants and food spots, I arrived with high expectations--and I'm happy to report that this place exceeded them. First, the wait was completely worth it. If you get there early, you can probably avoid the line, but even if you can't, don't let that discourage you. Good food is worth a few extra minutes of patience. As someone who pays attention to the details, I always take a quick look inside food trucks and kitchens when I can. I was genuinely impressed by how clean, organized, and professional everything looked. It's clear they take pride in what they do. Now, let's talk about the food. The fries were fresh and clearly made in-house--not the typical pre-packaged fries you find everywhere else. The steak portions were generous (they definitely don't believe in counting pieces), and the combination of flavors and sauces came together perfectly. Every bite was better than the last. By the time I finished, I was already planning my next visit. There are still several items on the menu I want to try, and if they're anything like what I had, my diet may be in serious trouble. Highly recommended!

I'm hopeful for the restaurant, and I may try it again if they try new recipes or something different to season their food.

There are so…read moremany options to choose from, but I chose to go with my staples to see if I wanted to adventure through the menu at a future point in time. Turns out, yes...I definitely will be adventuring into this menu because everything that my family and I ordered was perfectly prepared. No one felt disappointed with their meals. It's my birthday weekend, and my family wanted to get dinner after a long day of hanging out. We are a blended Latino family, so naturally, we sought out the closest Latino restaurant still open (we decided to eat pretty late). Luckily, Yelp guided us to Sabor Latino. My little sister is still in college so since she had a test she needed to run home to do, we decided to order our entrees to go and had some empanadas de Pollo (chicken empanadas) while we waited about an hour for our to go order because my sister decided to order the Paella which is cooked fresh when ordered so it takes a while. Tip: Call ahead if you plan on ordering paella. I wish I had taken pictures of the food when I got back home. But in my family, I am the one who runs around gathering all the plates, utensils, and drinks for everyone. By the time I sat down to the dinner table, my family was already halfway done eating their first serving. They were hungry, but the food was also delicious, so they couldn't help themselves. The servings allowed for each of us to have leftovers that we are excited for. Tonight, I tried their grilled chicken, which was perfectly prepared. Next time, I definitely will be trying their churrasco. And I will definitely be ordering more empanadas. These empanadas must have been the best empanadas I have tasted in this country (America) for a long time. I can see myself becoming a regular here because of the food and the friendly service. I am happy that this place turned out to be my birthday dinner restaurant with my family. It was perfect. Next time, I promise to take pictures of everything. The ambiance is super cute, too, with several photo Ops.
