My recent visit to Cafe Sazon left me utterly disgusted and outraged by the blatant discrimination I faced. As a person with a disability, I was shocked and appalled when asked to provide my service animal card upon entering the establishment. This demand was not only insulting but also illegal, violating my fundamental rights as a patron.The audacity of the staff to question my disability and demand proof is beyond comprehension. It is an egregious violation of my dignity and an affront to basic decency. I refuse to tolerate such blatant discrimination, especially in a supposedly inclusive and welcoming environment.Cafe Sazon must be held accountable for its actions. I demand an immediate and unequivocal apology from the management for this despicable behavior. Additionally, I expect them to implement rigorous training programs to educate their staff on disability rights and proper customer service protocols.Furthermore, I will not hesitate to take legal action against Cafe Sazon for their flagrant violation of my rights. Discrimination has no place in our society, and businesses that engage in such reprehensible behavior must face severe consequences.Please do not support places where they do not respect clients but only care about the money. Until Cafe Sazon demonstrates genuine remorse and takes concrete steps to rectify this injustice, they do not deserve our business or support.I will take further action against this place to ensure that they will no longer abuse people with disabilities. Until they demonstrate genuine remorse and take concrete steps to rectify this injustice, they do not deserve our business or support.

Stopped by here with my sister and ordered a pork and cheese popusa and the Guatemalan style steak, which came with Pico, avocado, rice, beans, 2 tortillas, and a cheese whose name eludes me but was delicious. Everything was fantastic. The portions were generous, the tortillas were made in house and delicious, and the steak was well seasoned and cooked perfectly. All together, it was about $20 which was a bargain for the quantity and quality. Our waitress was super sweet and the atmosphere is great. I will be coming back. I've been to tons of south American places and I can say this is one of my favorites. I will definitely be coming back

Looking for something a little different for breakfast? Check out Cafe Sazon on Columbia Pike. This South American cafe offers breakfast, lunch and dinner.Wifey and I visited for a delicious Sunday breakfast. Both of our coffees (Cappuccino and latte) were great. She said her latte was velvety and my cappuccino had the perfect amount of foam.For entrees, she had the Huevos con Chorizo which came with puffy but dense tortillas. I had the El Mananero skillet which was delicious and plentiful. Both dishes had plantains which were also excellent. We’ll definitely be back.

If you want delicious and filling comfort food for a great price then you have to come to this place! I never knew it existed until my friend searched for a dinner place close to where our dance class was that night. It is located in a small strip mall and would be so easy to miss if you drove by. But I gotta tell you, this place is a total hidden gem!First of all, the food! My gosh the food! I rarely get a chance to eat South American food and this was a huge treat. I ordered a couple of pupusas, an enchilada, and a Peruvian steak with eggs on top. My friend got a shrimp dish with grilled veggies. The pupusas were absolutely on point with the size, cheesiness, and flavor. The enchilada was definitely not the enchiladas I was accustomed to growing up in a Mexican family, but this South American version was packed with flavor. It seemed more like a tostada but it was tasty as heck. As for the steak, it was perfectly cooked and very juicy. The overeasy eggs on top added to the flavor explosion. All the sides like the french fries and rice were also done very well. The fries had a very good flavor to them probably from the steak juices. My friend really enjoyed her shrimp dish and I enjoyed the little bite I had. So if I could give more stars for the food I absolutely would.For service, it was divine! The woman serving us was so sweet and kind. I got to speak some spanish with her and so that is always fun to do when I get the chance. Another woman, who I believe was the owner, was there as well and would come check on us and even brought a couple of our dishes out. I felt like I was at home being taken care of by my own mom. I wish I got her name because she was so warm and welcoming. We told her we loved her colorful decorations and lights in the restaurant.They have plenty of tables and I do hope they get busy throughout the day. It was not very busy when we went but likely because we went just before they closed for the day. I will definitely come back for their breakfasts which looked pretty amazing on the menu. They also have an inhouse baker who makes lots of baked good treats. I was so full that I couldn't bring myself to buy more food but I will come back and try every one of them.So please, go support this small business that does food and service perfectly.

The only place near me that makes the best pupusas. I have tried multiple places until someone recommended me this place.
