This place is just so good! The food is always very flavorful and never overly salty like some other similar places. They have about 4 booth style tables, so it is more of a grab and go style. They are also now on DoorDash. The inside is very clean! The staff are always helpful and most speak both English and Spanish. My go-to is always the pernil with arroz con gondules and potato salad. They always have fried appetizer style foods available too. They charge extra to use a credit card now so pay cash when you go. read more

Delicious food at a reasonable price. You'll have to endure a Hellscape of a neighborhood but Ira worth it.

The food had potential if only it were fresh. The beans and race were amazing. But the check was dry like it had been sitting for a long time. The $3 tiny "cheese" empanada had clearly been sitting all day. There was a tiny piece of dried up cheese inside the mostly hollow, chewy, stale empanada. Also, I think that it was supposed to come with avocado. It did not. Again ..taste wasn't bad but the quality definitely impacted the overall experience. Same with the chocolate cake...it had potential but was dry and stale tasting. Disappointed overall, especially for how much I paid. read more

Sazon Latino Restaurant - Beans. Rice. Stale, hollow "cheese" empanada, super dry grilled chicken. - Spanish Near Me - Worcester, Massachusetts

It's been awhile since I've been back and the interior/ambiance is much nicer now. The tables are pushed against the wall and there's room to order without feeling overwhelmed. Service was quick and great. The food is amazing as always! I got the fish stew, it was a little dry and salty. But as always I really like the oxtail stew, super flavorful and tender. The lemonade homemade drink tastes a bit sugary, I did wonder if it's real lemonade. Next time I'd like to try the stew chicken and sancocho soup. Oxtail again haha! Great price! $30 for two homemade drinks and two meals! read more

Delicious!! Quick and good service. Would go back if I was in the area. The rice was good-- the "carne guisada" meat so tender. My husband got the bistec with onions- also tender! The sweet plantains were delicious and the tostones crunchy. read more

Sazon is an authentic neighborhood joint that offers a wide range of Latino eats from plantains (omg, do yourself a favor and make sure to order a double serving of this) to empanadas to rice and beans to different meats. My cousin, who's a local, recommended the spot and it was a hit for me! One thing I noticed when I came in is that they don't serve food in actual dishes but rather automatically put all food in to-go boxes and there weren't a ton of folks dining-in. Additionally, the place is modest in size so so it may be a spot that's better for ordering to-go (which is what my family did.) While they don't offer a *ton* of veggie options (I'd love to see them incorporate at least one veggie stew or other veggie option in future), I was able to build a plate out of their perfectly seasoned rice/ beans and plantains. Meanwhile, my family members chowed down on their meats! Everyone was very impressed with their food and cleaned their to-go boxes. The one downside to this spot is that the staff isn't necessarily warm/ friendly *but* with their constant stream of customers, I can see why they'd want to get each customer in/ out quickly without exchanging pleasantries. If you're looking for authentic, quality, Latino cuisine on a budget, look no further! read more

This is a Dominican restaurant. I had never had Dominican food before - so needless to say I was excited to try it out. First of all there was a line here and the people preparing the Togo plates took forever! Like any typical Spanish place they can pack in the rice. One of these Togo plates can easily be shared with two people. I ordered white rice, gandules, pollo asado and a pionono. The pionono was absolutely delicious. It's basically mashed plátano stuffed with meat. By far the most delicious Spanish appetizer I've tried. One thing I loved about this place is that you can tell them less rice, more meat and vice versa. You can basically customize your plate. They don't have a calculator so they literally sum up your total with their brains lol. So make sure they don't over charge you. We bought meals for 4 adults with drinks and apps for $22 yup $22. I wish I could have a location like this near me. So cheap and delicious! read more

Sazon Latino Restaurant - the front of the restaurant - Spanish Near Me - Worcester, Massachusetts

Nope. I can handle a hole in the wall. But meh mofongo. NEVER. I do want to try it again because take out in the age of covid can be tricky. But they were out of stuff I wanted and no carne frita for the mofongo. Shrimp were great, but the mofongo was more mangu-ish than crispy mofongo-y. I'll come back and HOPE the mofongo is all that with salsa and sabor! read more

I Love Sazon, I literally drive 30mins to come to this restaurant.. My Favorite is Pork Shoulder & Fried Chicken w/Yellow Rice & Cup of beans.. I realized 2day that My card was charged $7 dollars more than the receipt I signed & I never leave any room w/any purchase for restaurants to change it so after I left there they must have done it then & its possible..I checked My bank statement today realized I was charged extra.. You know I do enjoy coming here even thou I feel like I get attitude because I can't speak Spanish so now this just adds to it, So now they think I'm a fool & over charged me probably thinking, I wouldn't notice.. I'm frugal with My money to the penny so I notice everything.. SO DONT USE CARDS OR THEY WILL STEAL FROM YOU !!!! I GAVE $ 5 DOLLAR TIP IN CASH !! SO YAAA read more

Authentic, affordable and delicious. The staff is super friendly and the food is like being back home in PR read more

Came here with a colleague from work. We had a job in Worcester and were gonna there all day. I'm usually skeptical about Latin food that isn't my own, but he insisted that we go and I'm glad I went. The Pernil (Roast Pork) and yellow rice was amazing. The prom was moist and tender, not dry and chew like the other places I tried. For the price was inexpensive and for the amount of food you get, how can you go wrong? If I get another trip out this way, I'm stopping in again. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go into a food coma. Lol read more

The food is so good. It reminds me of being young and going to the Latin spot with my father. It was like our special thing. To be able to think about my dad in a positive light, is amazing. We don't have a good relationship, and being able to connect with a great part of my life is so important. This food taste amazing. It's perfect when you are sick, when you are happy, when you are missing home, or when you just want to feel better. Both types of rice are amazing. Potato salad is fresh. Pernil could be a touch less dry. Same for chicharrones. passionfruit juice read more

My go-to place for Latin/Spanish food. It's a hole in the wall but it's usually places like these that the food is bomb. Their yellow rice and beans is the best I've ever had! So flavorful and moist compared to others I've tried that have been a bit too dry and bland. I love pairing that with the stewed chicken (meat falls off the bone - super moist and tasty) with added avocado. So simple and yet oh so good. A quick, cheap but very satisfying meal. read more

Pretty typical hole in the wall Dominican spot, with a bit of a diner feel. The portions are huge, I got the large and it was definitely enough food for two meals. If you're planning on just eating alone and don't want left overs, there's no reason for you to order anything other than a small. I got the roast chicken, and while the white meat was pretty dry, the dark meat was juicy and delicious. I wish they'd give an option to pick what you want. I got it with some yellow rice, plantains, and beans which were all great. My friend got some steak which I tried and enjoyed more than my chicken. I'll definitely be back here to satisfy by Spanish cravings but I think I'll go with the steak next time. read more

Sazon Latino Restaurant - Menu - Spanish Near Me - Worcester, Massachusetts

So much YESSSSS! It's a smaller restaurant with food full of flavor and bilingual service. We had cheese and beef empanadillas, Jamaican beef patties, bacalaitos and yellow rice with beans, with three Spanish sodas. It almost brought a tear to my eye when I tried the rice. Seriously. I swear my abuela was back there helping them out!! I haven't had rice that good in YEARS...and I make amazing rice. It's taking everything in my soul, right now, to not break my diet and head over there! So do yourself a flavor and just go. And don't be a miser! TIP, for goodness sake- always tip these hard working people. The food is cheap- you shouldn't be. read more

We stopped in this hopping Latin food spot after a ball game. My wife is of Puerto Rican heritage but I grew up in an Italian/Irish house hold. It's a real treat to find a restaurant that makes food as great as my wife and her family, but served to go! Food was fresh, delicious with huge portions. Will definitely stop back in next time in the area. read more

Great! Love the chicken. The employees cut the chicken with scissors-through the cartilage to avoid bone splinters. That is a main thing they teach in cooking schools. So; they DO care about customer health. Good! Rice; I love the yellow rice. Great flavor. Homemade beverages. Reminds me of the best restaurants in California, Mexico, south. Sazon employees, owners are polite, very kind, courteous to ALL customers. Sazon welcomes all nationalities. everyone is treated equally. Definitely recommend. read more

Their beef with beans and rice was so good Definitely worth the trip. Make sure you get their early because it gets packed at dinner time.

I wouldn't go anywhere else for hispanic food. Not to mention paid less than $15 for all the food and drinks. Awesome place!! read more

Ordered on Doordash. Food is flavorful. I tried the pork shoulder, it has a little sweetness to it. The rice is delicious and sprinkled with beans. The Jamaican Beef patty was good. I really enjoyed the crust. So far my favorite plate on Worcester. read more

I can honestly say this is the first restaurant in Worcester that actually seasons their food. I ordered roast pork and yellow rice. The rice was fluffy and the pork was moist. The portions are huge. The large is $10 and was able to squeeze for meals out of it. The only thing I dislike is you walk out of the restaurant smelling like you were in the kitchen cooking. LOL read more

Excellent food and pricing was very good. Staff is friendly but they could use wearing gloves when serving.

I was coming a lot until every time I came the prices were different when order the same thing every time I get food. They also treat me like crap when I come in and speak about me in Spanish, just because I'm white doesn't mean I can't understand what you are saying. Today I went and for a couple of meals, I get home home to eat my chicken was old and my daughters food has a nice long black hair in her food. ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING. read more

I used to love this place but over time the taste and quality has been less impressive. I also order on food delivery apps now because of COVID but for some reason they never give me my order of sweet plantains, which is honestly my favorite part.

Food is amazing. The only issue is that the place is really small and because it's so affordable, it's always packed. Another thing. Setting is minimal. The restaurant looks to be family owned. The neighborhood is Really sketchy as well,so I wouldn't go at night. read more

For my first time coming here the food its great and cheap. the customer service its great. I recommend this restaurant to everyone.

Great food and good service, this was my go to lunch place when I use to work near by

I have been eating here on and off since I was seventeen. This place never disappoints and the food is always on point. They are very reasonably priced, portions are good, and service is great!! Love this place and their delicious food. There is seating inside but you can also get your food to go! I have had many places similar to this over the years and nothing compares to their quality and taste. read more
