    Chicken enchiladas
    Kirk D.

    Nice restaurant, clean and festively decorated. First visit since moved from strip mall; quite an upgrade. Lots of tables, plenty of parking. But very loud with little to absorb voices. Server very friendly and helpful. Chips and salsa ok. Food is good, all served warm and well prepared. Great tortillas. Chicken could be seasoned a bit more (pinch of salt!), and the beef dried up a bit on the nachos, presumably when cheese was melted. Rice good, beans ok. Overall a good lunch. Next time will just get tacos to have more of those tortillas!

    This place was a huge surprise but definitely worth the stop. We have driven past this restaurant and never stopped.... Boy were we mistaking. The staff was very friendly and welcoming... facility was open, spacious, clean and decorated very nice. The ambiance were perfect... music softly playing in the background, busy place full of guest laughing, talking and enjoying their experiences. THE FOOD was incredible.. and "everything!!!!" tasted AMAZING! We had the Chili Relleno plate and the Street tacos with chorizo, bacon, and asada which cooked and seasoned perfectly! The charro beans were also amazing and you have to try them! Our waiter was also awesome, very attentive, suggestive and receptive to our questions and request. We recommend this place and we plan to return to try other dishes very soon!

    Saxon Mexican Cafe has truly earned its reputation! I had been eyeing the busy parking lot for weeks and finally decided to experience it for myself. I never get the chance to experience their food from the original location though. From the moment I pulled up last Friday, I was impressed by the immaculate exterior of the building--a gem that's been standing strong since its December 2013 official opening. Stepping inside, the inviting ambience continued with every detail reflecting care and hospitality. From the warm welcome by the hostess to the attentive service by Adam R, our waiter, and the friendly bar and food staff, every team member made us feel right at home. I indulged in their Fish Taco plate--featured as a Lenten special--and was blown away by the explosion of flavors. It's clear they take pride in preparing fresh dishes; the food was far removed from typical fast food fare, with just the right balance of seasoning. I ordered extra serving of their Mole Sauce to find out how good it is, I was not disappointed. My cousin's Enchiladas Verdes also won his heart, proving that every dish here is thoughtfully crafted. They really keep their promise that they are not a fast food restaurant that they prepare their food to order...the taste and quality prove that. Our experience didn't end there--we returned Sunday morning for breakfast and were greeted with the same warmth and exceptional quality. I'm already looking forward to bringing the rest of my family to share in this great home-cooked Mexican food experience. Highly recommended!

    Fajita plate with chicken and Beef Fajita Plate

    Never heard of this place but came for a family member's birthday. Ordered the fajita plate with beef and chicken. It was good but nothing special, the beans and rice were a nice addition but again nothing special. Happy hour is nice the margaritas were delicious! I will give them another shot.

    Food is very good. It's a big restaurant with regulars. Staff know most of the diners. The service is excellent and the tables aren't too close. It's not loud. I have been a couple of times and always enjoyed the food.

    Tortilla soup
    Diana G.

    My friend was in from out of town and was craving Mexican food. I had heard great things about this restaurant and know that it is always packed. We did go on a Sunday for brunch and we did wait about 20 minutes to get seated. Our waitress was always on it. We were served chips and salsa right away. Our order was taken as soon as we were ready. I ordered the Sazon special. It is a breakfast plate with two fried tortillas and two eggs made your way on top with beans and breakfast potatoes on the side . I kind of expected the tortillas to be a little bit crispy, but they made for a perfect breakfast taco anyways. My friend ordered the tortilla soup and the enchilada kids plate. The rice and beans were delicious. The enchilada plate was good. I ordered an à la cart pancake. That is the only thing that I thought was not worth it. Maybe stick to the Mexican food at this restaurant. We ordered the margarita-mosa. The addition of tequila is a great idea. A mix of tequila sunrise and mimosa in one drink. Parking is available on site, but it can get full quickly. There is street parking as well. The restaurant is big with plenty of seating. They also have a bar with bar seating.

    This was my first time eating at this restaurant. The tortilla chips that came with the salsa was too spicy for me to even eat. Maybe they need to tone it down a bit or serve a mild sauce with that one . The food was nothing special it didn't really stand out to me. I drove about 15 miles one way to try this restaurant out. The tortilla chips were served in a very small bowl so we ordered another bowl and we were charged for that. Also, I want to mention that I had the enchilada verdes and the tomatillo sauce was very bitter. I had to scrape most of the sauce off of it so I could eat the enchiladas.

    We come to Sazon at least once a week. Always hits, never misses. Food is always hot and flavorful. Staff is always very courteous snd friendly. Nothing but high praise for Sazon.

    Chilaquiles Mexicana with egg, and carne asada.
    Kimberly C.

    I am from Los Angeles and I have been trying to find authentic Mexican chilaquiles with salsa verde. I finally found a spot that compares and am so excited. They have hand made tortillas, and all of their food is fresh cooked to order. If you are in a rush this place is not for you. Since the food is made when you order everything comes out very hot and fresh. They offer free chips and salsa with their meals and their salsa is so tasty and spicy. We came to eat on a Sunday at 10am and only had to wait about 10 minutes. Service was great, decor was cute, and we are excited to return to try more things.

    Salsa was picosita, loved it!

    Took my parents to try a different Mexican restaurant, not the usual ones they go to all the time…read morein their neighborhood. they enjoyed themselves and said they liked the experience. To anyone who wants to try this location, I will recommend to order the Calle de olla for coffee. If you normally drink your coffee black then I do not recommend it because it is a bit on the sweet side. But they do offer regular pot coffee as an option. (The sweetness caught my mom off guard). Taste it before you add anything to it. I also recommend trying the small conchas-they came out warm and ready to eat! This was only my second time going to this restaurant but both times I have had good experiences. Parking is a little odd. There is parking in the front and parking in the back.

I'm not a big fan of chorizo, but I do seek out unique variations of eggs benedict, and this one fit the bill, so I went for it. The flavor combination was perfect, and I wasn't overwhelmed with chorizo. If you like eggs benny, give this variation a try. You won't be sorry! The refried beans - I know it's silly to review beans, but these were a bit different than the normal ones we find in SA. They had a bit more texture, unlike the overly blended beans we're used to. Chef's Kiss goes out to these beans! The potatoes - we weren't sure what the seasoning was, but we think it was adobo. Whatever the seasoning is, it puts them over the top as far as breakfast potatoes are concerned. Good stuff! Just a couple of notes: We didn't get tortillas with our breakfast. It might have been an oversight, or our meals didn't come with them. Not sure. The service was great, but depending on the server you get, you might need to know some Spanish. I give them 5 solid stars for breakfast.

The hostess was a little drab but as I was walked in to be seated, you could feel the upbeat mood.

Great service can make a good meal even better, and she definitely elevated the entire experience. The outdoor dining area is also beautiful and creates a relaxing atmosphere that's perfect for enjoying a meal and taking in the surroundings. If you're looking for a restaurant that offers exceptional food, incredible ambiance, unique architecture, and top-notch customer service, Domingo is a must-visit.

We decided to try several appetizers to go along with our concha to get a wider taste of their food than we would by just ordering a couple entrees. Let me tell you, this was a great idea! We ordered the Tosti-Ceviche Verde, Panela Asado, Mexican Street Corn, and their Spicy Bean Dip. The Ceviche Verde was excellent, the freshness of the fish and shrimp was wonderful with the chipotle mayo and avocado. We chose to have it on the salsa Verde Tostitos and it was all great combination. The Panelo Asado was a completely new dish for us and was extremely good with a savory flavor from the salsa Tlaquepaque that mixed well with the Panela cheese. Their tortillas though not made in house, are made for them and taste like mom made them. The Mexican Street Corn was great and had the perfect bit of char taste from the corn. It was creamy and flavorful, we did think it could use just a tad more lime juice though. The Spicy Bean Dip was very good. You can't go wrong with Oaxaca, Chorizo, and pieces of pork mixed with some mildly spicy beans. Our server was fantastic. She had great recommendations for us, and was quick with checking on our drinks and generally helping us throughout our dinner. The food was prepared quickly, was hot, tasteful and refreshing. We definitely will be going back, and recommend Pan Fila to all of you.
