Stopped by Sazon in North Miami Beach straight from the airport to grab an iced coffee and an empanada de carne while watching my friend play beach volleyball. It's a simple, casual spot with outdoor seating, which I loved because you can sit and people-watch as everyone walks back and forth from the beach. I didn't see iced coffee on the menu, but they were nice enough to make one for me anyway! Nice people, chill atmosphere, and a good little spot to grab a coffee and snack near the beach. read more

Sazon is quite possibly my favorite Cuban restaurant in Miami Beach. Our concerige at the St. Regis recommended this spot to us for lunch. We came in on a Friday and it was pretty busy but no wait and we got seated right away. Although the restaurant is casual it is super cute. It is very spacious and has a beautiful bar. It is great for small or large groups. And even great to go by yourself or with children. Once seated we were greeted with their nice waitress who answered all our questions and gave great recommendations. I love that there was a wide variety on the menu for food and drinks. And they had lunch specials and weekly deals. We shared their strong cuban coffee since we knew it was super strong. It was so delicious and perfect sweetness. To start, we went with their beef potato balls, and recommended empanadas de ropa vieja. Each came with two. The beef potato balls were huge and came out with a red sauce. It was fried perfectly and had lots of flavor. The empanadas though were my favorite. The crispy outer empanadas were divine. The shredded beef inside was so flavorful and moist and went well with their yummy green sauce. We loved the sauce so much we asked for more with our meal. For lunch, I had the beef skewers. It came with a side which I got black beans and it also came with some yummy plantains. The two skewers were super filling, cooked just right, and juicy. The person I came with got their cubano sandwich, which I believe is a must if you want a sandwich. It was filled with goodness, large portion, and came with fried plantain chips. Yum! Pricing is affordable. Service was excellent. The wait to get our check took awhile but we had to wait for our driver anyway. I can't wait to visit Miami again to come back here. read more

For our last day in Miami, we decided to eat lunch at one of our favorites, Sazon. This was our first time to sit at their back patio, and I loved it!! It is casual, but pretty at the same time. A nice breeze blows that will keep you cook plus there are fans and AC. The atmosphere is great especially with the Cuban music playing. The service is always impeccable. They make sure your experience is a good one, and pay attention to every detail. The food is always incredible. My favorite dish is the Masa de Puerco which consists of fried pork chunks that are super soft served with sweet plaintains and moro which is dirty rice with black beans. Another great thing about Sazon is that they serve brunch from 12 to 3 pm. read more

Lovely dinner! There's a lot of Cuban places to choose from but this place is the best of every quality. Beautiful restaurant, great location, nice indoor and outdoor seating. Good prices and portions. Papa rellena was great. I liked the tomato tipping sauce it came with. Ceviche tasted great, but was a very small portion and I wish they cut up the fish into small, smaller bite-size pieces. Both of the main entrées came with two sides so we got morro(which was just a tad dry, but still great) and maduros(fantastic my doodles. They were cooked at the perfect time and they were really big.) I felt like the Churrasco needed a little more flavor, but I added sea salt to it, so it made it better. Good cook on the medium rare. Also it was enormous. The lechon was great. The onions were also beautifully cooked. There was a lovely acidicity to the Lechon. Flan was amazing as well! Perfect way to end the meal. Thank you to our server, Leo! read more

Affordable. Convenient. Fast service. Great ambiance. I got to try just a colada here and it was as authentic as it can be. Staff is super friendly with a great ambience. I am definitely visiting again, next time for lunch. TIP: conveniently located by the beach. Perfect place for a caffeine fix or a quick bite. They even serve beers here. I hope you find this review helpful. read more

I was pleasantly surprised in the great service and very tasty Cuban food in the beach area! Great corner location with a dining area and an outside more tropical area. Located on Collins Avenue near the beach side. The service was very attentive and the food was spectacular! They have a vast menu and good options for their lunch specials. I opted for the breaded pork chop. I will definitely be back, street parking available only , this would be the only downfall. After all it is the beach. read more

Christmas night feast. Beautiful homey ambiance, lovely service from our cheery server. Everything was delicious. I had shredded streak with onions and unbelievably delicious rice and beans (moros).

I stopped in for a casual Cuban meal and had a good experience overall. Service was fast, which is always appreciated. The menu is very classic. No surprises, just the usual Cuban staples done competently. I had the lechon asado. It was clearly prepared ahead of time, but still good and flavorful. Not something I would go out of my way for, but a solid choice. The wine list was subpar, so I would skip that, but the cocktail menu was much better and the right call here. Inside, Sazon has a nice Cuban Miami vibe. Lively, comfortable, and what you expect from a place like this. My waitress was better than average. Friendly, attentive, and kept things moving at a good pace. The highlight of the meal was the tres leches cake. Easily the best one I have had in a while. This was a three and a half star experience based on the food alone, but between the fast service, an outstanding waitress, and an excellent dessert, I am rounding up to four stars. read more

Came here on accident because it was located right next to La Ventana and we thought it was the same place since the tables outside seemed to be located infront of both places. Before we even got seated, i was admiring the decor. Absolutely beautiful! The whole place was so mesmerizing, i loved it. We decided to sit outside by the large canvas and ordered the Bistec Empanizado and the Ropa Vieja with moro, mashed yuca, and white rice and beans. They were incredible to say the least. They were large portions, and tasted fresh. This was my first time having cuban food in a long long time and i forgot how good it was so thank you Sazon for reminding me. I tried ordering in very broken spanish but i tried. I also pointed at the things i wanted as i spoke to make sure not to give our server, Melina, a hard time lol. She was wonderful. She was smiling and was so sweet and our food arrived pretty quickly. Will most definitely be coming back here! read more

A perfect Sunday night in Miami Beach unfolded on the patio at Sazon Cuban Cuisine -- the kind of evening that reminds you why Cuban food and tropical air belong together. The night began with a small personal rebellion. I'm normally loyal to my gin & tonic, but the atmosphere demanded something more Havana than London. So I ordered a classic Hemingway on the rocks -- bright citrus, clean rum, and just enough swagger to set the tone for the evening. It was the right call. The patio itself felt magical. Warm Florida air drifted through the pappal, a frond-covered outdoor enclosure inspired by traditional structures used by Florida's Indigenous peoples. Under the soft rustle of palms and the gentle hum of Latin music, the whole space felt like a hidden courtyard somewhere between Miami Beach and Old Havana. Then the food arrived. My plate featured a beautifully grilled churrasco steak, sliced and glistening with that perfect char that only a proper Cuban kitchen seems to master. Alongside it were sweet plantains caramelized to golden perfection and yellow rice fragrant with spices -- simple, classic, and deeply satisfying. Around the table, the rest of the spread looked like a greatest-hits album of Cuban cuisine: Lobster that tasted like it had just come off the boat Cuban chicken, rich and savory with deep island seasoning Vaca Frita, crisped beef with that irresistible garlicky brightness Ceviche de Camarón, cool, citrusy shrimp that practically sparkled in the night air Every dish arrived vibrant and generous -- the kind of food meant for sharing, passing, and talking over. What truly sealed the experience, though, was the service. Attentive without hovering, warm without theatrics -- the staff moved through the patio like seasoned hosts at a great Cuban dinner party. And here's the surprise: the prices. In a place like Miami Beach, where a cocktail can sometimes cost more than your dinner, the value here felt refreshingly honest. So there we were: music floating through the air, palm fronds overhead, rum in hand, and plates full of Cuban comfort. Some meals feed you. Others become an evening you wish would last another hour. Sunday night at Sazon was very much the latter. read more

This is a staple for authentic Cuban food in Miami. Not the touristy stuff, but the real deal my friends! I was greeted by warm and welcoming customer service during the bustling dinner hours, and seated promptly right away. To get started I ordered delicious beef empanadas. They came with a delicious salsa verde, and the empanadas hit the soul with each warm and flavorful bite!!! You could taste the fragrant seasonings as well! For my main course, I ordered ropa vieja with morros (beans combined with rice) and fried sweet plantains. Ropa vieja is a delicious shredded beef that is covered in a red tomato sauce. The ropa vieja was pure comfort! From the beef that melted in your mouth, to the sweet and savory plantains, to the amazing rice and beans (morros) that added a nice touch to it all. For dessert, I had tres leches cake and that was a home-run for me! Savory and delectable goodness! This place lives up to it's reputation! Check it out! Cheers! read more

The ambiance here is so pretty, and the Cuban food is absolutely delicious. The yuca, congri, and pork were perfectly seasoned--no extra salt or lime needed! It's the perfect spot for a bite after the beach. You'll leave full, but already wanting more. Plus, the lunch specials are delicious and very well-priced. They even have a photo for outside seating. read more

This busy and bumping Cuban restaurant has a great location directly on collins. people were lined up to dine so Hubby and i asked to be seated at the bar no line no wait. it's a smaller bar so it only accommodates like five people and could be a little bit tight. the ambience is cute and quaint and could be a really great date spot. I we ordered a few appetizers and the pork was so juicy and tender. I am a yuca lover so of course i had to try and they were delicious. the sauce it came with was so good i could have put it on everything. my vaca Frita was amazing and so was my husband's. meal dish The only thing I would tell you is that it's two sides and some restaurants include black beans and rice as one side and you could get another so make sure you read the menu. I didn't know when I ordered the extra sweet plantains, but they were just what I needed to offset the salty so I would definitely tell you to check out this restaurant. read more

I came with five others for a work lunch and had no problems finding a table to for. Our waitress was very good. I think her name was Carolina.

I used to love this place, especially, the lunch special. I was recently disappointed when the cashier would not provide my full change when paying cash. Let me explain: The restaurant is under new ownership. I was told that if paying cash any change remaining under $0.50 the restaurant KEEPS. So you only get all your change if the difference is above $0.50. That's INSANE and literally robbery. And probably illegal? It's a small amount but it's the gesture. The portions are also smaller and the lunch menu items are limited. When ownership tries to increase profit by reducing benefits to customers I feel like it's the beginning of the end. I was seriously disappointed. These changes may add profits in the short term but it's an unfair and unethical business practice. Note: Credit card will add a credit card fee OR if your change due to you is under $0.50 the restaurant KEEPS it. Shameful. read more

This was the best Cuban meal of my life. We came for dinner on our last evening of our trip to Florida, wanting a beautiful and delicious Cuban meal right by Miami beach. Sazon did not disappoint. The ropa vieja was tender and succulent. The vaca frita was garlicky perfection, the best I've ever had. The plantains, beans, and rice were perfectly cooked. The drinks were also superb. Atmosphere is up-market casual, and service was excellent. Jose Monroe was the angel of attentiveness, standing at the center of the restaurant and observing for any customer needs. Everything was flavorful, comforting, and succulent. The décor of the restaurant was low key with a pleasing aesthetic, with a very impressive alcohol wall. A walk to the beach, Sazon is the place to eat when in Miami. read more

I was excited to try Cuban Sazón since sazón means flavor to me. I started with the passion fruit margarita, which was excellent. The rellenos de papas followed and were the best thing I has with full of flavor and very satisfying. Unfortunately, the main course fell short. I ordered the lechón with white rice and black beans. The lechón was topped with onions and was just okay, nothing memorable. The black beans lacked seasoning and flavor, which was disappointing. The rice, however, was good. Overall, I'm glad I tried it, but I wouldn't return. read more

Every time I'm in Miami, this Cuban restaurant is my first stop. Located right next door to the Cosmo Carillon Wellness Resort, it's my favorite spot in the city for authentic Cuban flavors and comfort food that never disappoints. I always start with the empanadas--crispy, golden, and stuffed just right. For my main course, I can never resist the beef or chicken Cubano style. It's hearty, flavorful, and consistently perfect no matter which one I choose. And to finish, the cheese strudel is an absolute must-have. Flaky, sweet, and indulgent--it's the kind of dessert you'll think about long after the meal is over. Between the welcoming service, cozy atmosphere, and food that feels like home, this restaurant earns its place as my favorite Cuban spot in Miami every single time. read more

I've only visited this place for chicken soup and an orange juice, so my rating is based solely on those two items. I've never dined in, only picked up, but pickup has always been quick and easy. The chicken soup is flavorful and comforting, perfect for when you want something warm and satisfying. The juice is fresh and tasty, exactly what you'd hope for. While I can't speak for the rest of the menu or the dine-in experience, based on these two items alone, I'd definitely stop by again. read more

Absolutely the best Cuban food in Miami! I love that Sazón sticks to traditional flavors while still plating everything beautifully. Every single bite was packed with flavor, you can really taste the love and heritage in each dish. We had the ropa vieja empanadas, ham croquetas, and ceviche (which was super fresh, though I do wish the fish and onions were cut a bit smaller). The fried snapper and bistec cubano with tostones, rice, and beans were everything I hoped for, perfectly seasoned and comforting. Also, the passion fruit mojito? Probably the best mojito I've ever had. Sazón truly lives up to its name! read more
