I've been here maybe a total of 4 to 5 times and I like the food and the drinks. They have a great Old-Fashioned cocktail and I really love their chicken flautas. Some feedback I have is that service is a little slow, but nothing too horrible. I think they could use more help at times when it gets busy. The service is kind, but sometimes the bartenders can be standoffish, and I don't feel super welcomed but then once you talk to the them they start to warm up.
It only took me a year and a half to come back to this stylish cocktail bar. To be honest, it left me a bit cold because I came in later in the evening when it was buzzing with youngsters, in particular, provocatively dressed women who were flirting like mad with the young buck bartender. While my $14 Espresso Martini took a while to get, I was basically ignored, so I didn't even bother writing about the experience. I didn't retain much from that evening. It's just that I noticed they open earlier than most Mission bars, and frankly, a 4PM Espresso Martini appealed to me on a cold, rainy afternoon. Still $14, it was better than I remembered because the female bartender was quite professional in mixology and cordial in demeanor. I only noticed this time that it was made with top flight ingredients - Ketel One vodka, Tia Maria coffee liqueur, Cumaica espresso, Mexican chocolate (Photo 5). Ah, that's better. COCKTAIL - 4 stars...a better mix this time AMBIANCE - 3.5 stars...relatively stylish space SERVICE - 3.5 stars...the recent visit was a 4, but the earlier visit was definitely a 2 TOTAL - 4 stars...probably better before the youthful armies saunter in RELATED - Exploring the Mission?

Food is great! My Nicoya old fashion was amazing minimal smokiness w great flavor from the Flor de Caña rum! Food is , tvs are solid come thru and have one!
Stumbled upon this bar while walking around. Beautiful interior and good service. Super clean inside and good ambiance. It was a slow day and we got canned drinks so I can't comment on the cocktails. Food looked and smelled good so I will be back for that.
I made reservations but the waitress said they didn't receive it. Keep in mind I had email of confirmation. It was empty so we sat quickly. We ordered drinks and the worst thing can happen a baby cockroach ran across the table. A friend killed it. I wanted to leave but ended up staying. We got our food. Orders got mixed up in the kitchen. Food was cold and ok. I wouldn't go back. It looked clean and had big tvs for sporting events but that cockroach told me don't go back
Friendly staff and affordable cocktails made Bar TZA a great kickback spot to catch up with friends before the start of another week. I appreciate the attention to detail the bartender put into making the drink just right, and the coffee was pretty strong. Luckily, I did not spill any of the nearly overflowing drink on my walk to our table, so you know it's good value, and they've got some solid glassware. The music was a bit on the louder side, so I had to talk louder than normal and repeat myself sometimes when speaking to my friends, but overall had a good experience here.
Super casual place to hang out to have good drinks and bar food. The bar offers a good selection of cocktails. The "Nicoya Old Fashioned" is very interesting, smoky taste, good flavor. I sat at the bar, and the bartender was welcoming & friendly. Overall, it was a good experience.
Randomly stopped here while walking through Mission midday on a Sunday. The vibes are great. They were playing some reggaeton bangers from back in high school. I was trying to hit there dinner menu, but had to settle for brunch. Chilaquilas were awesome. Got a side of fresh fruit not mushy and perfect sweet. Solid midday beer and breakfast at this spot. The bartenders had a great attitude and very attentive. I will be back to try their dinner menu.
My husband and I came here to watch some football playoffs. We appreciated that they played the game sound. Cocktails were great, but there isn't much ambiance here (at least during the day on a Saturday). Interior decor is subway tile and basic chairs/tables, but the color-changing wall behind the bar adds a little bit of character.
I stopped in for midday margaritas on a whim and I'm glad I did! It's sort of hard to see what's going on inside, but once you're in it's even more modern and bright than you might think. I can't speak to food or nighttime partying, but the bartender was cool and our drinks were good. We got a watermelon margarita and he mixed up a (very spicy) jalapeno margarita for me. Top marks for both. I'd definitely come back to try other stuff.
I've never been here before the place is really nice. The service was nice. Our server was great. The guacamole was one of the best I've tasted. Love the music and atmosphere. The bartender was great, and my Margarita was amazing. Next time in the city I will come for breakfast, or lunch. Great place.

If you want real deal, cocktails, and fantastic appetizers this is the place to come to in the Mission. Great atmosphere and bartenders who make quality craft drinks, including them mind bending , Serrano, and habanero pepper Margarita. The potato bravas was the best I've had outside of the Spain !!! read more

Bru, the wings are absolutely delicious. Master level fry and sauce. No bulk Walmart dressing. Straight up gourmet. Bartenders serve great drinks with an approachable attitude. Bar was clean, nicely light and my bartender kept my area clean. Best spot for food and drinks in the Mission. read more

The mission area has a wonderful venue, a bar and the restaurant next-door are amazing as everyone there is friendly and welcoming. It's like being in a relatives home authentic food, pastries, cakes, homemade daily fresh orange juice, along with assortment of hot drinks of cappuccinos and lattes or if you prefer a bar drink There was something there for everyone. It may look small, but this wonderful little restaurant seems to be a locals favorite and a food is a testament to why they were turned over and over again. Businesses in the area are also a favorite a Bar Tza, if you're in the vicinity do you want to definitely make this a stopping point and enjoy any other wonderful dishes, breakfast lunch, and dinner everything is available, they offer a weekend, brunch, and again we're talking, authentic food from the Nicaragua recipes. And on the other side where the bar is, you can experience some wonderful hand crafted beverages. Thank you, Bryan, Noel, for putting together a wonderful beverage and food menu. read more

Great vibes!! First time here, and its down in the Mission. Went to meet up with a bunch of friends and the DJ kept the night going! Tasty drinks, got the Hasta la madre and other mezcal drink (on the top right of menu). Their menu describes how the drink is gonna taste; from fruity to stronger flavors, definitely helped me decide what i wanted. Had tacos, they came in 4s and were stacked!! Wouldve liked to have the tortilla a lil toasted to catch all the juice, but thats my preference. Ur gonna get messy either way The Bartender Steven was so nice and chill. Saw him go around to check on everyone, and honestly thats what i like to see. They have event nights, so gonna have to check that out sometime. (It mightve been spanish night when i went) Perfect spot to chill. Def be coming back for the great atomsphere and to try all their other drinks!!! read more
