About Our Food

Bringing Authentic Dominican Flavor Since 2016

Time passes fast when your cooking comes from the heart.
Since opening in 2016, El Sazón de Mi Abuela has been proudly serving the community with real Dominican home-style dishes inspired by Grandma’s kitchen.
From mofongos to grilled meats, seafood, and traditional sides — every plate celebrates culture, family, and flavor.

Over the years, we’ve moved through different locations, grown our menu, and built a loyal family of customers. But one thing never changed:

The sazón of Abuela — the flavor that started it all.

The beginning

The idea for El Sazón de Mi Abuela was born from one simple truth:
Grandma’s cooking hits different.
Inspired by traditional Dominican recipes passed down through generations, the first kitchen opened with a mission to bring authentic flavors to the community.
