BOOM!!!! A must stop for Columbian! Know that this is a very busy place to though.This was a truly amazing experience into the flavors of a Colombian meal. I decided to go with here to taste a different part of the world. The dish I selected, is the Banda Paisano Trifeca which is a macro and micronutrient bomb of delicious vegetables, starches, and protein. Apparently many with very hard physically demanding jobs need a "strong meal," and within Columbian Culture this dish was formed. Beautiful story, AND it has blood sausage!!! The place was slammed but got me the first available seat in 10 mins or so, and though we both couldn't communicate beyond the common cordial words and menu semantics, her demeanor and body language was very inviting and courteous. This place was a class act. Get you some!!! read more

I live 4 hours away from this place, so everytime I am in the Los Angeles area I try to stop here. I ate at this place on Monday 6/9 around 5 pm knowing that they were closing at 6 pm. Flavor was spot on as usual. Things I did not enjoy this time: 1. I was charged for 2 chorizos when I had only ordered 1. (Always ask for printed invoice and check before leaving). 2. I was charged $6 for a chorizo that was as long as my thumb. In the past their chorizos were much bigger and cheaper. (Do not order chorizos a la carte). 3. The meat in my "bandeja paisa" was ver fatty. Maybe my negative experience had to do with the fact that the restaurant was about to close. read more

I'm giving this place one star only because there's no option for less. The experience was quite unpleasant from the start. The service was cold, inattentive, and at times outright rude. I felt overlooked and treated with very little consideration, while other tables seemed to receive a much more friendly and attentive approach. As for the food, it's not terrible, but it definitely doesn't make up for the poor service. There are plenty of places where you're made to feel welcome and appreciated as a customer--this was not one of them. I wouldn't return or recommend it. read more

Food was great until I found a long hair in my rice. Id blame it on me but i shaved my head a couple of weeks ago so... Just wear a hairnet please. It was in the serve safe course you guys claim to have certificates for. read more

Sazón Colombia - Not chicken - Colombian Near Me - Chatsworth, California

Came in around 11:30 am on a Tuesday Busy area parking is available I found street parking I've lived in Chatsworth major of my life and have passed by this place thousands of times. As a foreigner I can say the only way to fully enjoy this place is dining in. Walking in I was so surprised it was packed with people. With the music and the lively atmosphere it truly felt like I was escaping reality. I don't speak Spanish but the waitresses were all so friendly! I got the bandeja paisa trifascia was it was so much food! I really enjoyed trying the various meats my favorite was definitely the pork belly and the blood sausage! Will definitely be back! read more

Mmmmm, what a great little Cuban spot that I can run to for a decent lunch deal and a full belly. Very happy that my friend suggested this place. We ordered the Lengua de Salsa and the Bandeja Paisa to share. There was more than enough and one of us went home with a full plate for dinner. The meats were seasoned well and while my belly couldn't eat anymore, my mouth wanted to keep chomping away. We added a guanabana drink made with milk and another pink one that I can't remember the name of, made with water. Unless you're lactose intolerant, I definitely think the drinks made with milk are the way to go. The service is great, they are very friendly and helpful. It would easier and probably even better if you speak Spanish. There's parking on the street and a small lot on the east side of the building. read more

This was our first time trying Colombian cuisine, and overall, it was an interesting experience. The restaurant itself is small but cozy. We visited on a Saturday, when we arrived, there were only a few people inside, but shortly after ordering, the place started filling up quickly. The meats were flavorful and well-seasoned, but be warned: you'll need strong teeth to chew through some of them! The wait for our food was a bit longer than expected, likely due to the sudden rush of customers. While we enjoyed the food, the toughness of the meat and the wait time were slight drawbacks. Still, it's a decent spot if you're looking to try something new. Might come back to see if it's different on a less busy day! read more

The lengua en salsa is the best I have ever had. Everything we had was delicious! The cheese bread was new for me but definitely a repeat The meat empanadas are very tasty but were a bit over-fried. Because they were a little over fried, I gave her four. Otherwise, it would've been a five star. read more

Ordered from this restaurant, Sason Colombia multiple times and they've missed the order three different times as for extra heat so the food won't be dry and they don't care and they have not fixed the issue. I ordered again today and they still didn't put in the extra sauce, plus I called them and they told me they would put the extra sauce, but they didn't horrible service. They don't care about their customers I will never return you shouldn't go either. read more

So delicious! I discovered this place by change and surely hope I get to go back. Buenisimo!

The service was not good at all . In addition , I ordered "La Cazuela sazón " on the menu . When I got it , the beans were warm , the arepa was not cooked all the way and the chicharrón was raw (raw pork is dangerous to eat). When I told the waitress it was raw , she didn't even apologize. Instead she offered to through the pieces into the fryer again. Mind you, I already had touched all the chicharrón completely and had taken it apart . This is not very higenic for other people other food that has to be thrown in the same oil that my "handled " chicharrón already been in . I'm never going back to eat there again . I was grossed out. The right thing to do is to offer a new order of chicharrón to the client instead of throwing it back in the same fryer with the same oil other clients use to eat their meals . read more

The food is good. However, I find the servers to be a bit unprofessional. Servers talking about customers on and off the phone (same server every time)..., I understand Spanish, I am Colombian. I feel it's not worth going into that environment. There are other Colombian restaurants in the area. "La Maria" is another, with the same food on their menu. Give it a try. read more

Bomb food ! I love everything about it. Great environment. Friendly workers and the Colombian soda is to die for hahah !!! I recommend this place. 5/5 read more

I'm Colombian and this is some of the best Colombian food I've had. Probably the best in the SFV. Very authentic. Staff are very friendly.

I'm really disappointed. This picada was expensive just to get a lot of yuca,potato and overcooked ribs and chicharrón . We only got 3 pieces of chorizo and we didn't get carne asada . I ordered it for pick up so I didn't notice it at the restaurant. read more

Sazón Colombia - Front window, table and chairs - Colombian Near Me - Chatsworth, California

They certainly have a seasoning that is great. It leaves a taste in your mouth that makes you want more. Having said that, the actual food is not the best. There is a difference between seasoning and food, they nailed the seasoning. The patacones... nope. The empanadas, delicious. Lackluster service, it was not terrible. The lady was very friendly when she acknowledged us, which was not often. Overall, it was not a terrible experience, but wouldn't make the drive to go back. read more

Well, I've been coming to this restaurant since 2018. The food is always good, but being American i am used to spot on or two lest attentive service. I mean the place isn't even that big and you I u need 6 servers that all still mess up your order or forget something- i don't get it. The foods always good though and definitely Colombian in every way including the service- go there and find out for yourself lol read more

Finally my husband and I went to try the Colombian food. We liked a lot. We will eat very well when we will go there. The arepas are delicious, the meal with fish was really tasty. The pandebono was good, sorry, I still prefer my cheese bite from Brazil. The service is great, very friendly. And the ambiance is nice! You can see Colombian channel and listen the music. The price is really good! Two appetizers, juice, soda and one meal- $31 dollars. You should try it! read more

Sazón Colombia is my go-to when I need to satisfy my Colombian cravings, specially for breakfast. But this time It was for dinner time. You can never go wrong with a Bandeja Paisa. The only down side is to not be hungry enough to finish one for myself but it is definitely shareable for two people. Service is great for the most part. read more

My friend and I had breakfast at Sazón! We started with a few of their delicious cheese breads and buñuelos and an order of chicaron. Then, we both had desayunos completos. Each plate was only $10!!!. My friend had the blood sausage and I had the carne asada. It also came with scrambled eggs. The whole meal is filling and super tasty. The buñuelos were crusty and beautifully fried. My favorite is the soft bread with guava jelly. The rice with beans is super savory and flavorful, and my carne was thin and flavorful...the chicaron was super delicious, coming with crispy fat and meat. This is a great place to eat Colombian food. The ladies greeting and servicing customers were very pleasant and kind. Sazón is a quaint, warm spot with awesome food and service. In my hangriness, I forgot to take pic of the plates as a usual! Here's my extra order of cheese bread. read more

I tried this place on a work lunch for the first time and it was okay. The service was good for the most part. The lady that served us was nice and thought it was nice she brought us limes for our waters. She even helped take photos of our table. Overall good service. The food itself isn't bad. However, I feel it lacked a bit of flavor. My fries were a tad cold but I didnt much of it anyway. The serving is very generous as you can see in my photo. The platano was the best part of my plate so that being said, not sure I'd return but that isn't to say it was terrible just not as I was expecting. Maybe other dishes were good but our table also ordered tongue with salsa and was told it was also bland. Overall wasn't the worst but not for me. read more

Sazón Colombia - Arroz con Pollo - Colombian Near Me - Chatsworth, California

Have you ever gone to a restaurant and only had appetizers? I like to do that periodically because you get the option to try different items. I find this most beneficial if you are dining solo. I was in this zone when I decided to try Sazon Colombia. The name literally translates into flavor (or seasoning) of Colombia. I was happy to learn that they had free lot parking behind the restaurant. This is a small cozy eatery, with dine in space that has a a very friendly staff. I ordered one each of 3 appetizers. They were the empanada, the pandebono and the bunuelo. For the empanada, I had the carne asada. What first strikes you is the outer covering, which is crisp and has a good bite. I am told the covering is made with precooked corn flour. The filling had very small portions of beef (ground it seems) mixed with mashed potatoes. It was different and went well with the Aji (a mix of finely chopped onions, mild peppers, garlic, cilantro and lime juice). Texture of the sauce resembles chimichurri. I really liked the pandebono, which is the Colombian cheese bread. It had a nice mouth feel and you can taste the cheese but cannot see it. The pandebono dough is made with casava or yuca flour, cheese and egg. The bunuelo is a round cheese fritter, in the shape of a ball. It has a soft crumb and crispy crust with a hint of sweetness. I barely tasted any cheese. The bunuelo is a typical Colombian Christmas treat. It has the texture of corn bread. Service was excellent. There is an extra 3.5% charge for credit cards. I seemed to have missed it. Overall, a memorable experience. read more

Sazon Colombia, 20454 Nordhoff St, Chatsworth, CA 91311 Solíamos ser clientes frecuentes de El Sazón Colombiano en Nordhoff, ya que era uno de nuestros lugares favoritos para disfrutar de buena comida y buen ambiente. Lamentablemente, nuestra última visita fue una gran decepción y definitivamente no volveremos. Pedimos una bandeja paisa que llegó con el chicharrón aguado, claramente le faltaba freírse más; los frijoles estaban insípidos, sin sabor ni sal, y la carne dura. Yo ordené un bistec y fue igual de decepcionante: seco y sin sabor. La ensalada sin gracia alguna, con un aderezo insípido. Para completar, pedimos buñuelos "frescos del día" y estaban duros como piedra. Gastamos $85 en tres platos que no disfrutamos para nada. Le comentamos a la mesera nuestra inconformidad con la comida y lo mucho que había cambiado todo. Su única respuesta fue: "Tenemos unas niñas nuevas en la cocina y la dueña ya sabe." Lo más preocupante es que la dueña estaba allí presente y ni siquiera se acercó a preguntar o disculparse. Nos fuimos muy decepcionados. Lo que alguna vez fue un restaurante con excelente sazón y calidad, hoy deja mucho que desear. No pensamos regresar. We used to be frequent customers at El Sazón Colombiano on Nordhoff, and it was one of our favorite spots to enjoy good food and a welcoming atmosphere. Unfortunately, our most recent visit was a big disappointment--and we definitely won't be coming back. We ordered a bandeja paisa that came with soggy chicharrón, clearly undercooked; the beans were bland, completely lacking flavor and salt, and the meat was tough. I had a steak that was just as bad dry and tasteless. The salad had no flavor, and the dressing was just as bland. To top it off, we ordered buñuelos supposedly fresh that day, but they were hard as rocks. We paid $85 for three dishes, none of which we enjoyed. We told the waitress how disappointed we were and mentioned how much the food quality had changed. Her only response was: "We have some new girls in the kitchen, and the owner is aware." The owner was there, but never came to the table to ask anything or acknowledge the complaint. read more

Fuimos con la familia de camino a Pismo Beach. Siendo colombianos, nos encanta probar restaurantes colombianos y bueno, qué decepción fue esto. Estábamos perfectamente bien esperando una mesa ya que era un sábado por la mañana. Esperamos unos 20 minutos para conseguir mesa y aprovechamos el tiempo y miramos el menú. Estábamos sentados y sabíamos lo que queríamos pedir, así que le avisamos a la camarera desde el momento en que nos sentamos. Pedimos 6 empanadas, 4 pandebonos y 3 buñuelos. Tenemos nuestras bebidas, pandebonos y nuestros buñuelos. Esperábamos que las empanadas tomaran algún tiempo ya que esperábamos que estuvieran frescas. Terminé preguntándole a un mesero y nunca obtuvo una respuesta para nosotros. Lo siguiente que sabes es que tenemos nuestras comidas. 3 de 4 platos la carne asada estaba fría. Los frijoles eran mediocres y sin sabor. En general, no lo recomendaría. NUNCA recibimos nuestras empanadas. Cuando pedimos la cuenta, la camarera ni siquiera se disculpó. Eso sí, ella nunca vino a preguntar cómo estábamos, si todo salió bien durante el tiempo que estuvimos allí. en general, la comida era sosa, el servicio era basura, pero es un lugar bien decorado. Entramos con hambre y nos fuimos insatisfechos _____________________ Went with the family on our way to Pismo Beach. Being Colombian we love trying out Colombian restaurants and well what a disappointment this was. We were perfectly fine waiting for a table since it was a Saturday morning. We waited about 20 minutes to get a table and we took advantage of the time and checked out the menu. We were seated and new what we wanted to order so we let the waitress know from the moment we sat down. We ordered 6 empanadas, 4 pandebonos, and 3 buñuelos. We got our drinks, pandebonos, and our buñuelos. We expected the empanadas to take some time since we expected them to be fresh. I ended up asking one waiter and he never got a response for us. Next thing you know we get our meals. 3 out of 4 plates the carne asada was cold. The beans were mediocre and tasteless. All around I would not recommend. We NEVER got our empanadas. When we ordered the check the waitress didn't even apologize. Mind you she never came around to ask how we were doing, if everything came out okay throughout the time we were there. All in all.. food was bland, service was trash, but it's a well decorated place. We came in hungry and left dissatisfied. read more

Came on a Friday late morning. Like all the reviews, service was slow although the waitress was nice. I had to keep checking in with her for water, coffee refill or to just place an additional order of pastries. I had the desayuno con carne and upgraded the arepa with cheese. Everything tasted delicious. The empanada and buñuelo didn't taste the freshest. The empanada seemed reheated but good flavor. The buñuelo dough was really hard. If it were fresh you would just know. Overall, pricing seemed average compare to other places, food tasted good nothing that really stands out and parking is hard to come by. The ambiance is nice and cozy. read more

I came by to try some Colombian food in the Los Angeles area because it's not common to see this type of food in this area. The food was ok. Their papa rellena was good but cold. The bunuelos were stale and dry. The cheese arepa was very good, but lacked flavor. The real reason why I gave this place 1star is because the ladies that attended me were not very friendly or warm. There is an older lady that I think runs the place, she's the worst one of them all. I hope this was just this time that they were rude. I believe that if you're introducing your food to the rest of the world, you need to be a lot more nicer and attentive with your new customers. I don't think I'll be back. El servicio que ofrecen las meseras especialmente la dama mayor que te saluda cuando entras que tambien parece ser Colombiana, es pesima. Se me quedo viendo con una cara muy mal... Yo no soy Colombiana pero me gusta probar diferente comidas de otras culturas. Y creo que si ellas estan presentando su comida y cultura al resto del mundo deverian ser mas amables, amistosas, y mas atentas con sus nuevos clientes. No regresare a este lugar read more

Absolutely delicious! The food came out pretty quick, & it looked so fresh! The chicharrones were so crunchy on the outside & soft on the inside, the beef was tasty & not too chewy, the fried plantains were sweet & hit the spot just right, the sausage was surprisingly moist & had lots of flavor in it, the avocado was nice & green, the rice & beans paired so well as it tasted very well seasoned & it complimented each other. The arepa was really good too, it just needed butter on the side but I just didn't bother to ask because everything else was so tasty. The service was pretty good, nothing special. & the Colombian music was very nice to hear, change of music from all the other restaurants. Overall ambiance was lovely. Thank you read more

Tasty food and excellent service. Definitely will be back. Empanadas were definitely a must try, it is truly a Colombia tasty appetizer.

Service: 1/10. Food: 5/10. Portions: 2/10. Total: don't come here. Go to a better Colombian restaurant. $42 for two coffees, 4 empanadas, a chorizo & 4 pastries is extremely overpriced. read more

Don't come here if you're black extremely racist staff ignore you let your food just sit after it's been ready for a while I'm literally looking at it sit there and they keep saying hold on helping everyone one else including ppl just walking in after getting the food it seems old and off on top of it Just sitting there 30 plus minutes I should have just left the food but I already paid now I'm feeling sick I Wouldn't be surprised if they did something to the food the entire vibe of this place makes you feel unwanted I'll never spend another dime here so if you're black you have been warned read more

Wonderful food and great hospitality! We came to Sazon to celebrate our friend's birthday and this is my first try at Colombian cuisine. Overall, the food was excellent and service was wonderful! The restaurant is located in small outdoor shopping center and parking is available at the back. The sitting area is medium sized with about 8-10 tables available. This place also seems very popular for take-out. For lunch, we ordered an assortment of empanada, fried plantains and entrees of seafood, chicken and pork. Since I am a pescatarian, I tried the veggies and cheese empanada and ordered the fish entree. The veggie empanada was very fresh and tasted delicious. The cheese empanada was a bit hollow with minimal filing. As for my entree, I ordered the fried whole tilapia, with sides of salad, rice and fried plantains. The tilapia was made to perfection and the serving was very generous. For the cost of $16 for the entree, it was a steal. The service was good and our waitresses gave us excellent recommendations. We all had a really time dining at the restaurant. Highly recommend! read more

Don't come here if you have a short fuse or come with a lady who can fight and speaks Spanish. read more
