Sazon Cubano

Delicious food and drinks! Everything was so flavorful-we wanted to try everything but our table was so full already! Our server was so nice and helpful too-we got to take home yummy leftovers and ate them all the following day! Truly a wonderful spot for dinner!

Absolutely beautiful place! The food is AMAZING! So much authentic flavor and it was so fresh! Very clean establishment, beautiful atmosphere and music and absolutely wonderful and very pleasant staff! You will not be disappointed , we ate here twice during our vacation and one the waitresses demented us from our first night which is always nice. We had the oxtail and salmon the first night and the large seafood and chicken paella( fed me and my husband twice-can feed 3-4 people)

This is our first time visiting Sazón Cubano. We made reservations for 6:15 through Resy and were seated immediately upon arrival. We chose to sit outside on the patio since we're having such great weather. The restaurant has a great vibe about it. I ordered the Churrasco steak with black beans and yellow rice. My wife ordered lobster with mashed potatoes and veggies. We both ordered Sangria to wash it down with. Everything arrived in a reasonable time. My steak was amazing, full of flavor and tender. My wife's lobster was a decent size, tender and sweet. Live music at 7 topped off the evening providing some great energy. Our server, Jessica, was impeccable. If you're not familiar with the area, convenient paid parking can be found across the street from the restaurant at the public car park.

A do-not miss! Good portions and quality ingredients. The cooking is excellent and the service is friendly. Highly recommend eating outside for a tropical atmosphere.

This seems like a really nice place for a lunch date. I went and ordered the stuffed steak, I really wanted shrimp, but they don’t have it as a side so I ordered the appetizer and that was really THE highlight for me. They were fresh & had good flavor. I would definitely get them again. As far as the salmon and the stuffed steak, I wasn’t a fan of either. They both lacked flavor so, I requested a side of seasoning and they don’t have seasoning in the back, only salt and pepper, which could be the issue. The Tres Leches Cake, Piña Colada & the Shrimp were a 10/10. I highly recommend those.

Seriously needed a good meal after that long flight, and Sazón Cubano in Miami Beach totally hit the spot. The servers were so friendly and their recommendation was spot on (can't go wrong with a cuban sandwich); everything was delicious and the prices were great. Plus, the portions were enough, so I even had leftovers to take back. Loved the vibe there, it was just what I needed!

I can’t say enough about this place. The food was incredible and the service was great! Fun casual atmosphere. Our waitress Jessica made recommendations and they turned out fantastic.

Ending our beach day at this spot was a brilliant choice. We thoroughly enjoyed the excellent food and vibrant music, and Demi, our waitress, truly made the experience spectacular. We had a wonderful time and eagerly anticipate our next visit

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.

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.

Stopped by Sazón Cuban Cuisine in Miami Beach and sampled a few dishes to get a feel for their menu. The food was overall flavorful and comforting, with one dish in particular that stood out. Bistec Cubano - 7/10 - Good seasoning and flavor - Cooked well-done without being asked for doneness preference - Could've been more tender (likely due to the cut) - Plantains were soft, sweet, and had a nice charred exterior - Black beans were tasty and well-seasoned Lechón Asado - 7/10 - Tender, flavorful pork - Onions added a subtle sweetness - Slightly better than Porto's version, though very similar Chicken Fricassee - 8.5/10 - Tomato-based sauce was savory, peppery, and slightly sweet - Chicken was tender and soaked up the flavors well - Potatoes and carrots were soft and absorbed the sauce nicely - Not a fan of olives personally, so skipped those Service was friendly and the space had a colorful, welcoming vibe. I'd return for sure--especially for the chicken fricassee.

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!

This place was amazing! This is my family and my first time in Miami and the food here was such a treat! The servers are so on point and so kind to! The girl who served us has a bright personality and was attentive ! The whole restaurant plays amazing music, and the decor is so comforting. The food it packed with flavor and texture! The ceviche was delicious and the chicken empanadas had a juicy chicken filling! I really loved the rice as well. I would totally reccomend this place and I would love to come back soon! Thank you

We didn't have reservations so we put our name down and waited about 30 mins. We were seated outside in their back patio with live music. It was such a nice festive setting. We ordered: Croquetas bacalao: 4/5 fish croquettes were good and crispy. Spinach empanadas: 5/5 tasty! Churrasco: 5/5 really well cooked and flavorful! Lechon asado: 4/5 good an tasty. Yummy fried skin. Plantains were delicious! Corvina al grill: 5/5 very yummy fish! Great food and ambiance! Highly recommend this spot!

Amazing paella! I wish I came to this place on the day it has all you can eat paella! If you do order paella, do not forget that it takes a long time to cook. The ropa vieja was also very delicious with a lot of flavor! The flavored meats and oils were so good! I highly recommend trying this place for some good paella and Cuban dishes!

Best Cuban food in Nobe. Nice ambiance and I love the old school Cuban music. My favorite dish is the oxtail with rice and beens, truly authentic Cuban food. Make a reservation.

The Best Cuban Food ever!! You must eat the Rabo Encendido (Oxtails) are -#1 we loved this restaurant and good music entertainment super!!!

Visiting from Atlanta and already been here twice. Mateo took care of me and will definitely be back when visiting again

Really great for big groups, easily say 8 of us in the morning without a reservation. Prices were extremely reasonable especially for the beach area. Food came out extremely quickly and was super tasty! Coffee was 9.777/10, really good!

Many Cuban restaraunts in Miami/Miami Beach, but this is the most recommended by locals. A beautiful restaurant in a beautiful spot in Miami that is easy to walk to. We were unlucky enough to go when the music ended and the last barbecue special was gone. I went especially for it, so was a bit disappointed. The menu is fried-food heavy, and I ended up ordering shredded chicken. "Are you sure there is no more BBQ sauce??".No. The service was quick and the inside and outdoor-ish seating was kept clean and intimate- with romantic lighting (TIP: Bring your strong readers if you struggle to read small-print menus in dim light!). The full menu is outdoors and online as well, so you can be prepared. ;) . There are larger tables available for bigger families or groups. It would have been tacky to take photos where we were seated, hence the lackluster display of images. The locals are right though- come early, get the specials, drink in the music and dance to the drinks.

Incredible Cuban restaurant! Must eat in North Miami Beach! Live music and lively decor. Wonderful wait staff with great recommendations. Solid and fresh mojito. The steak was perfect. It was tender but had a seared side with some crunch. Yellow rice is perfect texture. Light and sweet flan :-).

Great food...great service. The food is authentic and fresh. Portions are good and food is priced right. All the employees are friendly and put attention to detail. Mateo has been my server on several occasions and is excellent!

Good food amazing service and reasonable prizes. Love the place. Go hungry! But they still ask For 85 more characters ????????

This place is fantastic for any occasion with moderate pricing. We ordered lots of dishes: beef, fish, chicken and appetizers. All were very good. My children were eating like champs! They have a nice patio on the back with alive music.

SO GOOD! WOW. This was my family's first time at Sazón Cubano and we were blown away by the service, food, and overall dining experience. We had paella, mojitos, sangria, and empanadas--we LOVED everything. There is so much culture in Miami and Sazón Cubano embodies this to perfection. I NEED to come back. I WILL. Thank you to the friendly team of talented professionals, you made our first experience memorable and impactful.

Food was great. Drinks were ok. Staff was nice. Cute vibe. Would return just for the ropa vieja empanadas!

All the food we had was delicious! Great atmosphere. Mojito pitcher is great for a group

It feels like the restaurant has been recently renovated. Very cute interior. Our waiter was a bit slow but the food came out quick and was delicious. I had the ropa vieja, it was a good portion too because I took some back home.

EVERYTHING is awesome here. The service is friendly and top notch. Go here with a large crew and everybody should order something different so you can all share! Highly recommend!!

If you are looking for authentic, delicious Cuban food, you have to try Sazon. I recommend you start with their Pina Colada. It is absolutely delicious and comes with a fresh pineapple slice . For your entree, I suggest the Lechon Asado with a side of yellow rice and sweet plantains. The pork is so soft and is roasted to perfection. The yellow rice adds color, and to me, there is nothing like a sweet plaintain. The service was great, but when you arrive you may have to wait for a table, especially at dinner time.

This place was so good! Came to Miami for the weekend and wanted to try some Cuban food for the first time. We were excited by all of the different options and definitely over ordered to get a bite of everything. The staff was helpful in helping us decide the food and everything was quick to the table. - Cuban Sandwich (8/10): Super simple but flavorful sandwich and definitely a classic - Churrasco (8.5/10): Definitely my favorite thing as a steak lover! I loved the sauce on the side. - Paella with Pork and Seafood (6.5/10): Good but definitely wasn't my favorite paella. Could have been a bit crispier on the bottom. - Ham Croqueats (7/10): Loved these as well! A bit different from the Spanish kind but overall enjoyed Would definitely go here for a quick bite in Miami or as a good Lunch spot with friends.

I still love this place! They have updated a lot of things and expanded since my last review. The food is just amazing! They have a lot more items on the menu. $30 for lobster is a steal! The churrasco seems to be larger and is very juicy! The service was pretty good. Our waiter didn't check on us after we got the food but he was still pretty good. Since their upgrades, this place is beautiful! I want to sit on the patio next time. I'll definitely return and I want to try the happy hour and mojito pitcher!

Amazing food! I so look forward to my midwest to Miami visits where one of my absolute stops is Sazon Cuban food on Collins ! Authentic! Fresh! Service is great! If you eat in, you will experience the ambiance of Cuban hospitality. You must go!

Was here Sept 6, and This small homage to Cuban food does not disappoint. Food is very tasty, dessert is amazing. Drink not too great. Had a mojito that was not a good demonstration of the typical Cuban mojito. Service is excellent with great hosts and servers paying attention to every detail. Laura was our server and she went far and beyond. Great ambiance, small Cuban cafe restaurant decor.

This place was a hit! Discovered it on day 1 of a 4 day trip and came back almost everyday! The staff is incredibly friendly and accommodating and the food is incredible! I grew up eating Cuban food and this definitely impressed me. The ropa vieja was outstanding. Excellent drinks too and so fun in the evening with live music and an overall great patio vibe!

A nice spot for date night- the setting is intimate and there are many choices of wine. We ordered Fried Pork Chunks, Ceviche Cubano, Steak stuffed with cassava and Chicharron. The pork chunks were my favorite- flavorful, crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. It's an appetizer and for $10 it's def worth it. My least favorite was the ceviche- it didn't taste fresh and wasn't really marinated. The large Cuban was more like 2 sandwiches and definitely a good value- taste was decent but not the best I've had. As for the Steak, I have never had it stuffed with cassava but it was delicious and the slight crisp of chicharron was a great texture. I just wish there was some type of sauce. We also had two sides, yellow rice and plantains were both delicious accompaniments. Service is a little slow overall but if you're looking for a date night meal at a lower cost, come try Sazon.

My boyfriend and I wanted to try out some Cuban food and were on the way to South Beach from Fort Lauderdale (where our hotel was). Sazon popped up as one of the top choices and after seeing a few pictures we decided to go here. We came around noon and were seated immediately. I ordered a cuban sandwich and my boyfriend ordered a steak (?) combo plate. We waited over 30 minutes for our food. We asked a worker if she could check on our food but she didn't seem to understand what we were saying and just went back to doing what she was doing. We then had to flag down our server. She told us that no one ended up running our food so it was sitting there for a while. Our food got a little cold because of that so that was really disappointing. Before coming to Miami, we were warned that the customer service here wasn't that great. This was also our first experience with Cuban food. Although it was not too bad we wish that at least the service was a little bit better and food came out piping hot. I would come here again but if I have to wait that long for food again I'm not sure if it would be worth it.

Great ambience and food, you have to try the skirt steak!! It's massive. Ceviche is a must have as well.

Sat at the patio bar today for lunch and had a wonderful meal. Such a nice sunny day outside following the brief cold snap this week. Our bartender (Harold) was so genuinely friendly and the food was so good! The ropa vieja was excellent. Would recommend this spot to anyone in the area.

The concierge, Morris, at our condo recommended Sazón. We were looking for authentic Cuban food at modest prices. And Morris nailed it. Great food! Fantastic service and live Cuban music!! Friggin awesome!! Highly recommend Savon! Bueno!!

What a good idea we had to visit Sazón! we visit Miami Beach and mi family and I could walk from our hotel, it was convenient for us on our vacation. The staff is friendly, and the place looks clean. We ordered croquetas de chicken and ham and cheese as an appetizer, they were good. The cocktails were very good. I ordered the small Cuban sandwich but I couldn't finish it, big size. All the food my family and I ate was very good. We will come back!

Service to perfection. Love the Cuban music and ambience! Cleaned, parking across the street. Drinks were delicious! The fish dish was fresh and not too salty.

Amazing place to eat and drink. Staff is really great and service soo good. Incredible Cuban restaurant! Must eat in North Miami Beach!

Mathew was so great. His service and care was very professional and sweet. Their food was amazing. I had the best fried fish over there

Have been there twice already and the food is pretty good. Portions are good and if you ask for extra sauce, they will gladly give you more. I always need extra chimichurri lol. I get their corvina with moros and yuca or plantains and it's about $22. It's close to my job so it's great to have option of real food. Service has always been fast so it's helpful when you are in a time crunch.

My husband was craving Cuban food tonight and we went to our favorite neighborhood Cuban restaurant, we had a chicken soup, a pan con bistec and batidos of soursop. Service was nice as always , ambience was good, good music and nice people

OMG! My new go-to for top notch beachside Cuban. I had the Fried Snapper Parguita Frita with boiled yuca and salad. Washed it down with an ice cold Mathuey ale. All the staff showed their true Cuban hospitality skills throughout my dining experience. Delicious food, vibrant music and staff that keeps you smiling! A+

Made reservations for 7:30 pm for table for 7 people got there on time right at 7:30 and because we added 2 more people for the seating they made us wait and we got seated at 8:35 pm . And because we kept on asking for our table . The menu was a little pricey and the food was not all good . Except for the croquettes and the arroz con leche amazing. The lemonade don't let them fool you by saying is fresh cause is not .and to top it all they sat us on a table that was for 7 and we were 9 . The waitress was good and friendly . I don't recommend for dinner it's too packed and I will not return. The ambiance too crowded and the music too loud were not able to hear each other talk.

I had lunch there with a friend and was really impressed. They offer a great lunch special--the price, portion size, and quality were all excellent. The service was quick, and the food was delicious. I had the shrimp with white rice and sweet plantains, and finished with the coconut flan for dessert. Everything was spot on! I'd definitely recommend stopping by if you're in the area.

We had the small Cuban and it was delicious! Our service was good, albeit a little slow. The ambiance was good, but wish we knew about the patio, which looked fun!

Good food and service Food is a real Cuban style food The ambiance is very typical in the patio

Always amazing food , coffee , drinks , and service 10/10 . If you don't have time to dine in check they're smaller service area around back !!!!

My family came to Sazon Cuban Cuisine for some delicious Cuban breakfast during our vacation in Miami Beach. We love Cuban food and this was relatively close to our hotel. So we came hoping to have a great meal. No wait time to get taken to our table. We put in our order in no time. We all asked for some cafe con leche, Cuban toast, scrambled eggs and ham with fries. It took a while for the food to be brought, but that's ok. The food was delicious! We really love the ambience of the place too. Open, inviting and definitely with a Cuban flair. I would recommend eating here, if you are in the area.

Last day in Florida and Yelp comes through again !!! If you read my reviews, you know I love me some Cuban/Rican food, and this place delivered to our cravings . !!!!! BEWARE !!!!!! If you come hungry and you think about some appetizers, you'll not finish the main course , and that's what happened to us , came hungry, ordered papa's rellenas and they were the size of baseballs, also ordered empanadas , they were filled to the brim with meat ! This coulda been the end of our meal, and we'd be satisfied , however nooooo ! We ordered more - churasco , rice, beans , tostones , lechon , and Amarillos (sweet plantains) and lastly passion fruit milkshakes : everything was outstanding!!! Our server Maria Jose was also outstanding also !! Overall, when in Miami, I recommend you visit this gem and come hungry!!!!

One word "AMAZING!" The food and service is on another level! The best Cuban sandwich ever made!!! Their whole staff is excellent! Even if I come in for carry out it's a 5 star experience. Every menu item delicious & the Mojitos fire! Sazon's is really my favorite Cuban restaurant because it's that good every time!

This place was right boear our hotel and looked good so we walked to it and got seated right away. breakfast was good so we came back for dinner. Both delish! I recommend if you are in the area.

I ordered the Cuban sandwich and they put potato's chip fires all over it as a side my guess? It was ok. I've had better. Was kinda bummed that it wasn't amazing like the others I've had. This tasted like a sub from a grocery store. As I said I've had better. My wife ordered Arroz Con Pollo. AND THATS WHY, I give 4 stars. I had a few bites of her meal and that's where the good review comes in. Restaurant seemed very clean great teamwork around from what I noticed from the workers.
