Sazón

Garlic rice and corn tortillas instead of Spanish rice and flour tortillas. These are just a couple of simple changes that help to set Sazón apart from its Mexican cuisine counterparts as the chefs focus on traditional and pre-Colombian dishes from across the great culinary country of Mexico. Tapping into their love of Mexico's food and culture, owners Maria Cecilia and Margarito Aranda Jr. make sure their menu flourishes with authentic bites in the form of empanadas, savory soups, and handmade corn tortillas crafted by dexterous, opposable thumb-wielding chilies. Their attention to detail has even awarded them a spot on the Austin Chronicle's 2008 restaurant poll of readers' favorite eateries in the city.
