Sazon is a Santa Fe restaurant specializing in Mexican mole dishes. Most Americans think of a mole as a dark, thick sauce with chocolate overtones. At Sazon, moles come in a variety of flavors and textures ranging from light and herbaceous to blazing hot. (There’s a platter of small samplings of the moles and mini tortillas so diners can make an informed choice). HG/BSK dined in the beautiful, upscale restaurant last night with the Brilliant Brits, Anthony and Claudia C. The food is spectacular but the wine list is ridiculous. Cheapest wine is $62. Most range between $90-$125. However, the cocktail list has some pleasant sangrias and very good beers and ales at affordable prices. If you have a designated driver, try their special margarita. Powerful drink. HG dined on big marrow bones (better than Paris) and giant shrimp in a Thai sauce (plus some mole selected by BSK). Drank a hearty black Belgian ale. The rest of the table had good IPA’s. HG’s happy companions had lush mole-topped dishes of duck, lamb, beef and stuffed squash blossoms. Sazon is four-star Mexican dining.
