   We had a wonderful time at Sazon! The food was amazing, the atmosphere was very enjoyable, and the service was excellent. This was our third time dining at Sazon, it has been a perfect dining experience every time, highly recommend. We will definitely be back next time we are visiting Santa Fe.

   Sazón has previously set a high standard, particularly last year when it went above and beyond with exceptional flavors, solidifying its place as the top restaurant of the week. Unfortunately, this year’s experience was a stark contrast, with the food falling noticeably short. Based on our recent visit, Sazón will rank last out of five restaurants we’ve tried, and even The Ranch House surpassed it in terms of food quality—and that says a lot. The Atún Azteca had potential but was overwhelmed by excessive salt, masking the natural richness of the tuna. The Sopa de Amor, while aromatic, contained very little crab meat, leaving it unbalanced and lacking the depth expected from a seafood-based soup. The salmon itself was cooked perfectly, showcasing skillful preparation. However, the huitlacoche sauce drenched over it was overpowering and excessively salty, overshadowing the delicate flavor of the fish rather than complementing it. Perhaps the most disappointing dish of the evening was the Crêpes de Cajeta. A proper crêpe should be light, delicate, and tender, with a slight crispness at the edges. Unfortunately, this version was thick and doughy, lacking the finesse and refinement expected from a dessert of its kind. While the ambiance and service may have met expectations, the food simply did not. Sazón has proven in the past that it is capable of excellence, but this year’s execution was far from it. A more balanced approach to seasoning and a return to the precision that once made it stand out could restore its reputation.

   One if not the best restaurant in Santa Fe for food that combines different flavours and textures to produce amazing food. The service is impeccable and ambience a delight.

   We had heard incredible things from NM locals and resort staff about Sazon. After making our reservations weeks in advance my husband and I were really looking forward to a special dining experience. We opted to go with the restaurant week menu feeling it would be super special. The staff rushed us through the meal from the time we sat down to producing the check. Our entries came cool to warm and were sent back. I had the salmon and it was an elevated hotel banquet meal. To make up for the meal our wait staff brought us an extra desert that was not wanted or something we would ever order. Very disappointing for the hype and cost.

   From the minute we entered Sazón, we were treated exceptionally by the staff, wait staff, bus boys etc. it was the first time that we were not rushed and because of that we had a lovely dinner. The food was stunning and the creativity was bar none. We went due to restaurant week and we now have a wonderful place to come for celebrations and bringing family here. Thank you chef and all for making our first (but certainly not our last) dinner thoroughly enjoyable.

    Order the Poblano soup. Regardless of how many portions they have left - order the Poblano Soup. All of it.
