Sazon Cubano — clean, consistent caribbean in Bucktown. The noise level tells you everything you need to know. Honest, uncompromised flavors throughout. Rachel Mavros: "Chicken was so savory and the roll was soft and buttery" [$$, patio]

☀️Patio — a Bucktown classic in summer.

First time here. Originally was going across the street to La Reina but they were closed and I'm so glad that they were closed because Sazon Cubano was amazing!!! The service, the food, the prices were incredible. We will definitely be back often from now on. The space is huge, the bar is very modern plus they have an outdoor patio.

Sazon Cubano 2.0 is a MUST GO. This cozy cuban restaurant is very UNDERRATED. The food is absolutely delicious and authentic! Wonderful service and drinks and live music. Please try the empanadas they favor beef patties but waaaayyy better!

This place was soooooooo good. Got the lechon asado and shrimp jibarito and after the first bite I knew it was an incredible meal! Jibarito was excellent and full of flavor, and congri rice on the side was a great addition. Chicken was so savory and the roll was soft and buttery! Sauce was good, everything was good. Added a yuca rellena on the side, again we were wowed after 1 bite. Such a great decision to get takeout here absolutely no regrets.

Mi experiencia en este restaurante cubano fue excelente. La comida refleja la esencia auténtica de Cuba, con sabores tradicionales bien logrados y porciones generosas. El arroz con frijoles, la yuca con mojo y la ropa vieja fueron espectaculares. El ambiente es acogedor, con música y decoración que transportan a la isla, y el servicio fue muy amable y atento. Sin duda, un lugar ideal para disfrutar de la gastronomía cubana y querer regresar….los postres son deliciosos, el flan es delicioso, el churro es riquísimo, el churrasco es excelente, es para mi mi favorito junto con el pargo frito que es un tipo de pescado, el con gris es algo del otro mundo, te recuerda la comida cubana, que la yuca con mojo y la yuca frita son excelentes, que toda la carne es fresca, el servicio de atención al cliente y la mesera es fenomenal, donde los panes vienen calentitos y la mantequilla está divina.
