Service is AWFUL! Server is RUDE!! Avoid this place at all costs…read more My family ate here a few weeks ago. Food was ok, and if I were basing this review only on the food I might eat here again. When we arrived the server immediately asked if we wanted anything to drink. Our family are water drinkers, and I replied we'd just have water but the server really pressured us to order beverages. I asked if they had unsweetened ice-tea and his response was snarky and he acted like I was an idiot for not knowing they served coke products (how would I know???). We came during lunch, so when placing the order I said that I'd like the carne asada lunch plate and the server very snidely said "we don't do lunch plates". I also asked nicely if he could put my rice and beans to the side (as I don't eat these items). They were served on my plate when the meal was brought. When we placed the rest of the order, we asked the server to cancel one item and replace that item with another. The server did not write the order down. When the food was delivered to the table, both food items were sent. We tried to send back the food item we'd replaced but the server would not take it back, told us he knew what he heard, and that we would be paying for it. He also called me an unpleasant swear name in front of my grandchildren. I approached the payment booth and once again said I'd like the item we'd canceled (an order of nachos, no cheese, only chicken) removed from the bill but the server refused to take it off. I said we'd be contacting the owner and letting him know about the poor service and he laughed at me and said "go ahead". This turned what would have been a nice family lunch into a frustrating experience. My grandchildren were very upset with the servers treatment and actually said they were afraid of him. If you're looking for a good family environment this is not the place.

My chicken nachos were a bit wet but very flavorful. I think I will try the beef next time. I saw those go to a different table and they looked a bit drier. Ambiance looked really cool, one of the nicest Mexican restaurants I've seen. Parking is plentiful and it looked like they have a full bar.

I've been to El Sazon at least twice now and my suspicions have been confirmed over and over. This restaurant is massive and it's a popular place for birthday gatherings and family dinners. Every time I have been, I have literally had to flag down my server to ask for more water. This occurs even when the restaurant isn't that busy. When doing so, I usually get a smirk and a shrug back from the server. Maybe it's just me, but I feel like you shouldn't have to ask to get your water refilled. The food is just fine, exactly what you'd expect. I just feel the poor service at El Sazon is what brought down my experience here.
