El Sazon Mexican Restaurant (Reno, NV)

Posted by Unknown Wednesday, April 29, 2009 0 comments

Beef Fajitas, Tacos, Cheese Enchiladas, Salsa, beans, rice, Quesadilla, Carne Asada, Chile Relleno, Margaritas everything I have had here tastes authentic and great!

I have been telling Zo about this place for probably a year and a half and saying we have to go. Then we would end up going somewhere else for one reason or another. We finally popped in Monday night and the food was just as good as I remembered it and I got a, "Everything tastes SO good," from Zo!

We split an order of beef fajitas and a cheese enchilada and it was oh so good.

Being that it has been a while since I have been there, I noticed they have redone the decor and menu's. I remember there being mariachis as well but maybe they are off on Monday nights. Treat yourself to some yummy Mexican at El Sazon II on Oddie Blvd :)

Fresh Mex (Reno, NV)

Posted by Unknown Friday, April 17, 2009 3 comments

A very pleasant surprise! Zo mentioned seeing the commercial for this Fresh Mex on our way home from my parents. We thought it would be fun to stop in and get some quick food to eat as we lounged around at home.

As we opened the door confusion struck. We were spun for a 360 when we were greeted with a, "Hello my friends. Would you like a booth or a table." We both just blankly stared as we looked around at what is a quaint little sit down restaurant.
Finally I spit out, "A table would be nice," we were seated, given menus, chips and salsa.
We both were still flabbergasted looking around at the place when I thoughtlessly put a chip with a dip of Pico de Gallo into my mouth. Instantly I knew we were in for a treat. It was fresh with a great zing of cilantro.
We scanned the menus and we settled on splitting some fish tacos and pork Carnitas. Zo ordered a margarita which was really good. Our food came out steamy hot and we dug in. The fish tacos had large pieces of great tasting fish (cod I believe) and the pork was done perfect to where it just melts in your mouth.
What stole the meal was the amazing salsa. It is sweet and savory with just a touch of heat. The kind of salsa that you want to (and we did) drizzle over every part of your meal. I asked the owner/chief Tooie about it and he proudly told me, "I roast the peppers every morning, fresh, everything here is made fresh daily." It definitely shows and we can not wait to stop in again!

Check this place out!
