Made here, not just served here

A lot of food arrives halfway finished. At Sison, the work happens in house. Tortillas are made by hand, meats are seasoned with care, and some dishes take most of the day to get right.

That patience is the point.

When the food is made with patience, people notice.

  • I met a friend for breakfast here. We both ordered the chilaquiles with salsa verde. I also tried the mango agua. The seasoning was done well. Service was great. The only con was our food arrived a bit cold.

  • So fresh and delicious! The Al pastor on corn tortilla is AMAZING! We also loved the tres leche cake. We will definitely return!!! It's such a cute place too!

  • Amazing food and vibe. Small but perfect menu options for breakfast and lunch. Chilaquiles were the best we've had. Strawberry drink was fresh and tasty and not overly sweet. Decor and sound level is relaxing. Looking forward to coming back to try the coffees and pastries!

  • My boyfriend and I were walking around downtown and stumbled upon this taco shop. We decided to get lunch here and it was one of the best decisions we have made. Amazing tacos and a welcoming spot.

  • Super good! Great curated menu with quality options. We got the torta and huarache and the cafe de olla. Everything was super good. Interior is super cute, clean and aesthetic. You can tell a lot of care goes into the space and the food.

  • If you find yourself downtown, give this place a look! The pancakes are easily the star of the show, and the coffee keeps you coming back. The rest of the food was just okay, but the friendly service more than made up for it. Definitely worth a stop for a quick breakfast.
