Approaching the address you must slow down as you might drive by it. The actual restaurant is on second floor. If you are taking your parents that might be disabled, have knee pains, or have difficulty with steps then know you must go up about 25 steps to get to the restaurant. The second floor looks like a small cafeteria with about 12 square tables that can be moved around, combined for larger than 4 groups, or accommodated to make the middle section a bit of a dance area if needed. On the left there is a large bar with its bar stools for those that want to enjoy sitting and enjoying drinks. I started my order with two Colombian empanadas that were delicious and very meaty. I decided to order the Bandeja Paisa with ground meat that is priced for $23.50 although you can get the one with carne asada option that is priced at $28.50. I must admit that the plate looked beautiful and impressive when it showed up. The food tasted amazing although I wished my plate was a bit more hot. My drink ordered was a guanabana juice made with water which were priced at $3.50 in the receipt but it showes up as $4.50 on the menu. My glass was a 16 ounces size but about 5 or 6 of those ounces was ice. You should request light ice as those drinks finish quick. Your eyes see a 16 ounce cup of delicious juice but before you know it your food is there and you have a glass with ice and no juice. I prefer to get the juice and a glass of ice on the side. The beans where a bit on the salty side but very tasty. The arepa, if you are Colombian you can tell, that it was made from flour from store and not grounded white corn as they are made at other Colombian restaurants. There was only one waitress attending all of the tables. When our food came it took us about 5 minutes to flag her down to get a set of utensils, as we were missing a set. We didn’t see her again until we waved our hands to get our bill and our to go boxes. I found it a bit humorous that the receipt showed a charge for $0.98 cents for the 2 “to go” containers. I am not trying to be picky as I want you to get a picture of the experience I had in Song & Sazon. I dont want you to misunderstand me as I do this review. I do like this restaurant. The little issues that I experienced is something I can deal with when I return for another meal here. However, If you are trying to bring your elderly parents, want to impress your date, or bring a boss for a business discussion then I would recommend for you to come and check it out for yourself first then you make the decision if this spot would be one of your “personal” favorites. I want you to keep in mind one thing: There is no perfect restaurant! The person I brought said that she didn’t want to come back. I personally will comeback, probably by myself, to enjoy food like the empanadas and others stuff I didn’t try. I want to try the Mondongo, the Perro Caliente with the works, the Bistec a Caballo, and the Arroz Arriero. As you can see the place has opened my eye and has me wanting to return in the future. Even though I am eager to return, I do not see this restaurant as a solid 5 star. I do believe they have a great 4 star restaurant that I will definitely come back to enjoy. Receipt for 2 was $64 plus $12 gratuity. This place is a hot commodity as there are not that many Colombian restaurants in Wheaton, Maryland. Hope you enjoyed this review and take nothing personal as I paint a picture of the venue before you get there. Stay blessed.

Song & Sazon is a true hidden gem in Wheaton! From the moment you walk in, the warm, vibrant atmosphere makes you feel like you found an authentic Colombian restaurant. The staff is friendly, attentive, and happy to guide you through the menu if you're not familiar with Colombian cuisine.
The food is the real star here — flavorful, authentic, and clearly made with care. The bandeja paisa is a must-try: generous portions, perfectly seasoned meats, crispy chicharrón, and the creamiest beans. The arepas are fresh and satisfying, and the empanadas are golden, crispy, and full of flavor. Don’t skip the aguapanela or passion fruit juice — they’re refreshing and delicious.
Whether you're Colombian or just love good Latin food, Song & Sazon delivers a memorable experience. A perfect spot for a casual lunch, family dinner, or weekend treat. Highly recommended!

I knew the place from the party on the weekend and the times I went with my wife and friends it was very pleasant. But today I came with my son for lunch and the food is delicious. Colombian Sazón and as always I have been very interested in our style. Super recommended.
Excellent attention, service, music, everyone is incredible, thank you for your work ❤️

The truth is, when they are taking over and they don't attend or concentrate, I asked a waitress for one thing and she brought me something else, and they don't change it, that service is very bad. 👎 mallllllllllll at the bar is rude and the waitress is clueless and you lose your money, the restaurants in the United States do not provide that bad service, they only asked for change where they themselves made a mistake, terrible customer service 👎 they have no idea what it is having a store and serving the customer, they lack a lot, as always, some bringing bad tricks, very bad service to please the customer, they don't give in, the customer always has the reason.
Leave your lie that you made 40%, I asked for a receipt and you told me no that I should look for it apart from bad customer service, they are liars with their clueless waitress, they made it and that 30% I already realized that I am not the only one talking of the service 👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎 put them to fulfill a single job to serve the client in presence and telephone, they don't work for both, put only one role 👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎 I'm allergic to chorizo for some reason I went to return them the first time she served me and it happened to me before they had served me but this time with that waitress screwed up but in the end I threw them away and I had to lose because they were going to be poor if they changed it 👎👎👎👎👎

Terrible service, I will not return there, very bad, I followed the employers, I lost my money due to lack of concentration, learn to serve before you lose my money, I asked for one thing and they brought me another, terrible service, three orders in the trash and money lost, I will not return there VERY MALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL WITH its clueless rockers and the supposed owners who. They don't know anything, the customer will always be right.
