What a spectacular meal! Sazon's Chef Olea is a James Beard Award winner. My dinner started with a sampling of moles so that I could pick my main course accordingly. I loved the mole negro with duck. I have never tasted such a wonderful mole negro. I also loved my pork belly with mole colorado. The staff was superb and Chef Olea stopped by several times to check on me. This experience was well worth driving hundreds of miles. Thanks, folks!

Food is a passion business---people do it because they love it. Mickey's serves a great dinner with passion. My server asked if I had been there before. When I said no, she explained the history of Mickey's: it started out as a vegetable stand in the 1960s, then moved into both steak and Mexican food. And she said that new customers received a sample plate of their classic dishes. My sample plate was delicious. The tomato sauce and salsa were both outstanding. How many restaurants can say that? My dinner was tasty and satisfying. The atmosphere is simple and welcoming. I suggested to my friends that they visit. Thanks, folks!
