Reviews for La Casa Del Sazón in Salinas, CA
The dish we ordered came in a stone bowl (it's the name of the bowl and dish,) it was enough for 2 and delicious. I'll go back.
Small place??not big enough for a big family. First and last time going. We were the first family to walk in and last to get our... food until we asked if we were getting food for us. They said they were getting the food ready so that we all eat together. Theystill took like 10-15 minutes for out first plate. Food wasn?t tasty and took almost an hour to get our food. If I can give ita 0 stars I would. Also expensive. Read more
Came in when it was completely dead. There was absolutely no one else inside other than me and my wife and they still managed to... take 45min-1hr to serve us our food. I ordered the quesabirria and my wife ordered the molcajete, the usual, and for the thirdtime in a row they manage to take 45-1hr to serve us our food. Its like if they were in the back killing the cow itself to serveus. The manager?s name was Claudia and she been present every time. Dont know what?s going on, but its been like this ever sincethe new mamager (Claudia) has been in charge. The waitresses were on point and attentive, but they can only apologize so much asto why out food was taking so long. Something needs to change in management because being served 45min-1hr for the 3rd time in arow with this new management is unacceptable. Read more
I do NOT recommend this place. The menu has only breakfast or dinner. No lunch options and Is highly overpriced. I ordered... grilled fish. The menu said the order came with steamed veggies. I was served burnt veggies allegedly grilled but more on theblack charred side and they were spicy hot. No mention of that when I specifically asked the waitress what veggies wereincluded. I am allergic to chile. The burnt black salty spicy veggies were inedible. I had to wait a few minutes to let thewaitress know about the error as she was gossiping with two other employees instead of paying attention to patrons needs. Icalled the waitress over and explained the problem and asked if she could please ask the cook to rbeplace the burnt veggiesfried in oil w steamed veggies? She took my plate and had a talk w another woman. Maybe the manager/owner? The waitress returned and said if they didn't grill them in oil, they would be raw. She added they regularly prepare and serve them grìlled.I told her that was fine but then they need to correct their menu and change the wording from steamed to grilled and they needto add are spicy as some folks like me are allergic and cannot eat chile. I don't understand how any cook would not know howlong to steam veggies so they are not raw. I explained to her you just cook them a little longer. There were no otherguests. When she returned the plate w properly steamed veggies she had thrown away more than half my uneaten fish that i was notdone eating and had left on my original plate. Burnt salty greasy veggies and 1/2 fillet came to over $20. Meal here was totallyunsatisfactory. There is no excuse for poor service. I will NOT be back. Read more
Waiter was not friendly and had zero personality. Food was ok. Had to keep asking for more lemons and salsa. The tacos come... without salsa so, make sure you ask when you order your plate. The homemade corn tortillas is the reason why this place isgetting a three star. Read more
Delicious as always. My partner got the always delicious Camarones Diablo (medium spicy), and I got their fantastic Molcajete... (medium spicy). Their version of medium spicy is pretty spicy for me.....but the flavors are soooo yummy. Their homemade corntortillas are wonderful, as are their salsas. The food was ready 25 minutes after we ordered, although it's possibke it wasready before I walked in to get it. Although they are now serving both outside and inside, we opted to get our food 'to go';and they did a great job packing it up so it traveled well. Read more
Had such a bad experience, never again will I go to that location. It took more than 45min to just get 2 tacos. I told the... manager Esmerarda that we were on our lunch break, her response was that they were taking orders that were placed by phone. Itold her I wanted my order to go and as I was waiting there she would ignore me. As I waited for my order, I saw how theymicrowaved the meat for my tacos. I then told her wow it took 45 mins for 2 tacos as I left, she said well then you should eatat home. Thinking I didn't hear her, I went back and told her I heard what she said as she couldn't even look at me in my eyes.I told her I had brought lunch but decided to meet a friend for lunch and gave them back their food. Bad bad customer service... Read more
