About Sazón

The bar at Sazon in Aurora, Colorado

Mexican and Latin American cuisine is at the heart of Sazón. The word Sazón is a call back to authentic Mexican flavors, spices, and seasoning, and we hope to bring all of this vibrancy and flavor to our guests’ experience too!

Lisha Bustos founded Sazón with the belief that food is more than a meal. It is a way to share stories, culture, and memories. Inspired by her family’s Mexican roots, the flavors of Southern Colorado, and her travels throughout Latin America, Lisha created Sazón to bring people together through authentic, emotionally connected dining experiences.

What began as an unexpected leap into the restaurant industry has grown into a beloved Lone Tree destination known for bold Latin flavors, warm hospitality, and a menu inspired by Mexican and Latin American traditions. From traditional family influences like her Papa's menudo recipe to dishes that explore flavors from across Latin America, every part of Sazón reflects Lisha’s passion for culture, connection, and community.

Restaurateur and entrepreneur, Lisha Bustos built Sazón to be more than a restaurant. She wanted it to feel personal, welcoming, and deeply rooted in people. Her goal is simple: create a place where guests feel cared for, where staff love what they do, and where every meal leaves a lasting memory.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does Sazón mean?

Sazón means different things depending on the context. But in Spanish, Sazón for us means spice, flavor, seasonings. That is what Sazón is about.

What does modern Mexican mean to you?

Modern Mexican is different from your traditional rice and beans and enchiladas. With Sazón, we’ve created something unique. We’re picking flavors from Mexico, flavors from Central America, South America and even Spain, and marrying them together on one plate.

What is your vision for Sazón?

The vision for Sazón is simple. When you step into the restaurant we want you to feel as if you are joining us at our dinner table. We want to share the experiences we grew up loving with the people of Lone Tree. It is our hope that this will be more than a restaurant to you but somewhere you will want to bring your friends, family, and neighbors. This is truly our passion.

Why is it so important to use fresh ingredients?

It is super important for us to recognize the work that is involved with food from the folks that are growing it to the folks that are harvesting it and then our guys that are preparing it for the table. It is not easy getting fresh ingredients, but if you can it is absolutely worth it. That is what identifies you--if you are using fresh ingredients you are going to taste those flavors and that’s what we do here.

Why is customer service so important?

Customer service goes hand in hand with our food. We recognize that without excellent customer service the customer experience isn’t complete. The local individual is our VIP guest. By getting to know our guests and knowing what they like, what they order, and us remembering things, creates a relationship. And that is super important for us. We want folks when they are walking in our doors to be super excited to experience Sazón and when they are walking out to be super excited to come back again.

How did you come up with the menu for Sazón?

The process in creating our menu was one of reflection. What experiences, flavors, and tastes did we cherish so much that we wanted to make sure we shared them with our guests? Our chef was also able to really shine and help create the perfect menu. He made sure we were complimenting every entree, every appetizer, and every dessert, until we finally found the right menu to open our restaurant, Sazón.

Tell us about the Sazón team.

Our team is everything, they are what bring this vision we had to life. We have folks that have just started with us yesterday, and we have folks that have been working with us for years--and they are the true stars. They are the ones that if it weren’t for them, we would not be able to operate our restaurant. From the dishwasher to the chef to our host and servers, everybody is super important and they are what makes our restaurant work.

Why did you choose Mall for your restaurant location?

Southlands is a very attractive shopping center. We shop here, we dine here, and we thought this would be a great location for a restaurant concept like Sazó, because it is something unique for this area. Southlands allows us to kind of showcase our talent, our chef (his culinary skills), and to bring some passion and flavor to the area.
