Que Sazon South American Cuisine & Ceviche Bar

January 12, 2026

Que Sazón is one of those places you're so glad you stumbled upon. The patio atmosphere in the evening is lively and fun, with great music and an energy that makes you want to stay awhile. The inside, however, feels a bit stark and is missing the heart and soul that really captures the vibrant vibes of any country in South America - it doesn't quite match the warmth and culture you'd expect. That said, the patio more than makes up for it. Service was excellent- our server was friendly, attentive, and genuinely helpful with recommendations, checking in on us just the right amount. The food did not disappoint. We ordered one of every empanada, and every single one was delicious. The Peruvian ceviche was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. Sitting outside on the patio in the evening, great music playing, delicious food on the table, and top-notch service- what more could you ask for? We'll definitely be back

My wife and I had an incredible experience at Qué Sazón! They were recently recognized as one of the 100 Essential Metro Phoenix Restaurants for 2025 by azcentral.com and The Arizona Republic—and after eating there, we completely understand why. We sampled a variety of dishes, including: Maduros (sweet plantains) Empanadas de pollo and empanadas pabellón (pork) Tiradito Qué Sazón Clásico — a stunning ceviche made with grouper in sashimi-style slices, infused with leche de tigre, coconut milk, and mango salsa with a touch of heat Burrito de pollo with mango and avocado We also enjoyed several memorable drinks: a Cadillac margarita, the refreshing house mojito, and a pour of Aguardiente Amarillo de Manzanares. Every single dish was fantastic—remarkably so for a quiet Wednesday afternoon visit. We also had the pleasure of meeting the owners, Fabian and Julie, who were incredibly kind and shared a bit about the history and heart behind their restaurant. We’ll absolutely be back soon—especially for their Friday night live music!

My daughter and I accidentally found this place and I am so glad we did! The food was so good! We tried a few different things and loved all of them! The tacos were delicious! I can honestly say I haven’t been so impressed with a restaurant meal in a very long time! Wish we didn’t live an hour away!

This place is a home run! My wife and I were in town for the evening and wanted a chill environment so we checked this place out. Great service from the start, as we were greeted by the owner. Atmosphere is perfect, if you are looking for a nice outside vibe or inside for an equally chill vibe. Food quality was superb for the price that you are paying, especially considering the style of foods. Would highly recommend if you considering some new!

I rarely write reviews but I just have to say, we are Arizona natives that moved to Germany while my husband was stationed there. We moved back and have been CRAVING an atmosphere and staff that reminded us so much of the European way of eating lunch/ dinner. Specifically, we have 2 young kids. Our culture shock moving back home was how disgusting America & Arizona restaurants treat children now. This staff were incredible to them, accommodating, and just wonderful. We sat outside while the weather was so nice and multiple staff members came to say hi, check on them, talk to them, etc,. The food was delicious! But if you have kids and are struggling to find an accepting place that treats your children with respect as well, then I highly recommend. The only small complaint is that I don't think we saw a kids menu but our kids just pick at what we eat so it wasn't an issue. But it's also a great place to order a variety and have your kids try new things. If you want a restaurant that very obviously creates a sense of community, this is it!
