SAZÓNY TUMBAO

 

Welcome to the heart of our dream, Sazóny Tumbao. I’m José, and I want to share with you a story – a story of flavors, music, and a journey that led to the creation of this little slice of the Caribbean right here. My love for food started in the bustling streets and cozy kitchens of my hometown. Homemade dishes, full of love and tradition, were my first teachers. But it wasn’t just about the food; it was the music that played in the background – a melody for every memory, a rhythm for every recipe. From jazz to rock, I found harmony in all genres. But it was on my travels that I discovered the magic of Caribbean cuisine – a symphony of tastes, colors, and textures that could make any heart sing. Imagine this: fresh-caught fish, fried to perfection, accompanied by golden tostones, all enjoyed with a cold beer in hand. It’s not just a meal; it’s a celebration of life.

And what’s a celebration without music? The pulsating beats of salsa, the soulful tunes of Cuban son, the legendary voices of Celia Cruz, Tito Puente, and Oscar De León – they’re not just background music; they’re the soul of Sazóny Tumbao.

Every dish here tells a story. Our arroz con coco isn’t just coconut rice; it’s a dance of flavors, best enjoyed with the infectious energy of Celia Cruz’s voice. Our spices don’t just add heat; they bring the warmth of a long-awaited hug from an old friend. This isn’t just a restaurant; it’s a place where memories are made, where every meal is a celebration, and every song adds a special touch to our delectable dishes.

So, come on in, feel the embrace of our flavors, and let the music move you. At Sazón y Tumbao, every visit is like coming home to old friends. Let’s make memories together, one savory bite and one song at a time. Welcome to our story, welcome to our dream. Welcome to Sazóny Tumbao.
