HIGHKEY RECOMMEND CELEBRATING WITH ZAMA
I decided to celebrate my birthday here the week before Thanksgiving and was so glad I did! I booked my reservation on OpenTable two weeks before and updated my reservation three days before the date. (this is a must!)
We came in 20 minutes early, and our table was already ready. Complete with balloons and all, they were ready to celebrate with me! From the food to the service, everything was top-notch! I definitely recommend the espresso martini tower, the jungle fries, and the carne asada burrito- don’t forget to make it wet!
The biggest shoutout to Andy and Matt for making our dinner celebration flawless! The boys were sad to see that the game day menu wasn’t an option for the evening so we will definitely be back to try that too!

Woah. This is a great spot for brunch and drinks. My group and I went on Sunday to catch some NFL games and it was truly the best vibe in there.
We went all out. Literally. We got the a tiered margarita tower and espresso martini and mimosa flights. All came out and were amazing presentation-wise.
And for the foodies, we looooved the Birria Burger, chicken wings (garlic parm are bomb here), mazapan pancakes, Birria eggs benedict, and asada chilaquiles! If you get anything, try their Birria. Best around!

Celebrating taco Tuesday here was not just great tasting but visually appealing also. Looking at the many varied and interesting items coupled with the look and taste of their offerings make me want to come back to try them all.

Referred by a coworker to visit this location to celebrate a “going away” get together, I was pleasantly surprised by how much all of us enjoyed our time.
1. The menu was online and brief – made it easy to chose a drink an appetizer and main plate
2. The serving sizes were excellent, prices were within reason and the presentation was colorful and well created
3. Music levels were good, not overbearing and tasteful
4. The seating arrangement was great, our hostess was attentive and knowledgeable
5. The interior decor was mystical, the patrons were friendly and well cultured
6. Arrive a a bit early for seating, park on ameriage street vs parking lot… easy to get to and plenty of parking
You’ll have great time, – great for dates for get-togethers and just a great time for a quick bar drink

The carne asada is possibly the best that my friend and I have ever tasted. The Jungle fries and Carne Asada tacos were phenomenal. The meat is so tender and incredibly well seasoned. We WILL be returning.

The tinga taquitos were so good! The Pineapple Express drink was also great. Our server was so nice and attentive. They have many TVs for sports games. Would definitely come back.

1st and LAST time we will go there. The only good things were the flavors of most of the food was great and our waitress was very sweet. We had a party of 8. Took over 15 +minutes and asking several times to get water for 3 of our party. We were one of two tables in entire place and we were the first. Confusion if posted appetizers were available. All food dishes were made WRONG. Sides mixed up with other plates. Wrong meats on multiple plates. Red chilaquiles was to have green sauce, beef & no onions but had chicken and tons of onions. Green chilaquiles over easy eggs, chicken but got beef with hard eggs. Every plate was mixed up like this. Every plate brought out separately minutes apart. Took 30 minutes to get 8 plates all out finally. Two sides got fixed but waited over 20 minutes so original food was cold. Gave up on the rest being fixed. Took over two hours and management tried avoiding us and gave excuses and no resolution. Offered to take off the final plate brought out with 2″ hard egg omelet cake looking thing since we didn’t want it. Hard and burnt all over and didn’t resemble any kind of omelet. Offered 25% discount when every meal was messed up and nobody ate together because everything was served at different times. Owner was there I learned and I spoke to her myself. She argued only 4 meals messed up. She was in kitchen herself training. Wow so under her supervision very plate was messed up and she can’t admit it. Kept arguing and saying only 4. Well let’s see. All 3 chilaquiles plates were wrong. The omelet was a dry burnt cake. Two other dishes had the wrong sides and the Avocado Toast was not toasted. It was soft bread. Terrible management. Terrible owner who can’t admit she’s wrong. Would never have made a stink had she simply apologized and addressed it in the beginning rather than hiding and kept sending out wrong plates. How can you mess up every plate? Then say you didn’t. Terrible I was so annoyed I didn’t even take pictures of the mess ups because they kept coming out one after the other. Didn’t even get family pictures and we were celebrating our sons birthday. We drove specifically here from all over. Our daughter flew in from Texas. Terrible all around FYI my son is in the service industry. Manages in SoCal and he was very easy going at first then he was annoyed. So many errors and not one thing right. That’s insane. Then hearing excuses and no real apology from the owner herself and he was over it. They ended up removing the 4 dishes she claims were the only mistakes. If you go know you may have your order screwed up and they don’t care. Only one who cared was our sweet waitress whom we tipped well. She didn’t deserve to be penalized for the owner’s inadequacies. Go at your own risk ⚠️ only picture was a Martini that was way to sweet. Guacamole and salsa were great though.

The chilaquiles were very good, better than others Ive had. A bit pricey though. The meat is an additional charge ($5-8). The service was good overall but ya need to lower the price tag if Im coming back.

Service is nonexistent. Came in about 30-40 minutes after they opened. Came straight to the bar area. Took 10 minutes for someone to even acknowledge me, I came for the love island watch party and they weren’t even slammed yet. Melissa was probably just having a bad day because her attitude was just off the whole night. I preferred to tip the other bartender because though it wasn’t “friendly” service because for the crowd it was attentive. Melissa really needed to take a little break before her shift started to practice her smiling, maybe she can have a better shift and hence better tips.
