Sazon Criollo - Buffalo

I enjoy having lunch here with my family. The $7 lunches come with a generous portion. This is the perfect spot for those who enjoy Puerto Rican cuisine, as they offer a wide variety of options.

I’ve lived around the corner for 7 years and had known this place had solid recommendations. Somehow today was the first time I made it there. I’ll be bringing friends with me next time, soon. I had a la tripleta as it’s what I’ve heard is the thing to order. It was delicious. Heavy on the meat, which is kind of what the point is. But for me the bread was the winner. Crusty delicious for my first half. Saved the second half for later and it was deliciously chewy. Loved it.

My family and I stopped here during a trip. The place is humble but the food is extraordinary. The pastellios were so delicious. The alcapurrias were amazing. My mom had the Mavi and raved about it for days. The prices were very affordable for food that packed wallop of taste.

This restaurant serves authentic Puerto Rican cuisine that many may not be familiar with. The $7 dinner portion was generous enough to satisfy two people. The hours of operation are 11am to 4pm, closed on Sundays. However, they may close a bit earlier or later depending on when they run out of food.

I dine at this restaurant at least once a week. I always order the pernil (pork), yellow rice, and beans. The portions are large and the quality is consistent. I have also tried the tripleta sandwich and would order it again. One thing to be aware of is that they close early, around 5 or 6 PM, so make sure to check their hours before going. They usually have a big sign out front if they are open.
