About El Sazon Cocina & Tragos

El Sazón Cocina & Tragos is a restaurant in the Twin Cities known for its innovative Latin cuisine that blends French techniques with creative dishes. The menu offers options such as chips and queso, ceviche with hibiscus flowers, enchiladas de mole, camarón tacos, and chicken al pastor tacos. The cocktails are a highlight, featuring unique choices like mezcal old fashioned, known for its beautiful smoke from burning corn silk. The service is friendly, with enthusiastic staff who are happy to accommodate large tables. There is room for improvement in terms of clearing empty plates and pacing the service. The bone-in birria is an extra special dish, praised for its super beefy silken meat loaded with flavor, while the pork shank is a must-try for roast pork lovers. The churros and dulce de leche should not be missed. Prices are generally reasonable, although some may find the ceviche to be a bit pricey for the portion size. Parking is abundant, with options available on the side, in the back, and on the street. Customers have praised the chips and salsas, which come in different kinds, and the ceviche, perfect for summer. The pork shank and short rib burrito are highly recommended, with the burrito described as huge and one of the best ever. The restaurant's other location in Eagan, inside a BP-Amoco Gas Station, is also highly praised, considered some of the best Mexican food around. The full bar adds to the overall experience. Overall, El Sazón Cocina & Tragos offers a friendly atmosphere, delicious food, and creative cocktails that make it a popular choice for locals.

This place is amazing! We’ve been to their other store in Eagan Located inside a BP-Amoco Gas Station. Both are absolutely some of the best Mexican food we have ever had. This south-Mpls location has a full bar-Bonus!.

Incredible birthday dinner last night. Everything was perfect, starting with beautiful, interesting cocktails. We loved the mezcal old fashioned, finished with beautiful smoke from burning corn silk. Extra special is the bone in birria, which I will be dreaming about for many months. Super beefy silken meat, loaded with flavor. Don’t pass on the pork shank if you love roast pork! We had the nicest guy as our server, who was so enthusiastic about the food he brought us...read full review
