This is one Amazing and definitely Worth the trip to visit and try. There is plenty of parking with…read moreHandicap Parking with easy access to the restaurant. We visited for the first time and were impressed with the size and design that has different areas for seating and dining. It was quite busy when we arrived and yet we were sat immediately. Our server was up and beyond excellent. We were served our water and utensils and asked if we would like drinks and an appetizer before the meal. We accepted the offer and we let the server decide what our appetizer would be, since they would know what was best. The server brought us out a good sized slice of Zucchini bread with salted whipped butter and a danish and then took our order. We decided to have the server get us two meals of their choice that they thought would impress us most. He asked if we were interested in breakfast or a lunch choice? We gave him full control of our meals. The server brought us our drinks, my wife ordered a coffees and a mimosa and I just had coffee and water. When our meals were brought out to us, they were brought to us in a very timely fashion or manner and were very impressively plated and the presentation was great for a meal that was not too expensive. The food was excellent and very tasty and our server brought me a breakfast choice and my wife a lunch item and they were great choices. They again were well plated, well prepared and presented, the perfect temperature and tasted amazing. I am amazed at how well the service went and without being overly bothersome, they only checked on us twice and then left us alone to enjoy our meal. We had to at the end of our meal ask for more of the zucchini bread to go, because it tasted so good and was amazingly delicious. We ordered the largest loaf of zucchini bread I've ever seen and then we got a small bucket or a quart of their choice salted butter to go with it. The food is fairly priced, well proportioned, prepared to perfection and served by top tier service employees. I will not be mentioning what we ate because I feel that you readers need to try something that would impress you. Now the restaurant was very clean and was very open and airy. Plenty of room to sit and stretch as you eat. There were three different eating areas. One was the outside front deck facing the Main Street. The other was was the main dining room that also had higher tables and chairs that were located in the main entrance and I assume that they were more for those that were there for coffee and a quick snack. Then they have a big atrium that was very nice and spread out. I would recommend this restaurant and it's excellent employees and service to anyone that want a meal that can be quick and speedy, a lunch or breakfast meal and just a lunch date or for an office meeting or gathering. I definitely recommend this Amazing Restaurant, Food, Service and location and I will definitely will make a return or more for this great place.

I even had a bit of my friends pesto pasta and the texture tasted like regular pasta. HOWEVER, I'm giving Zest 4 starts because I have a pretty severe allergy to walnuts. It was my fault for not reading all the ingredients but I did have to go to urgent care and get an epi shot after some extreme nausea and hives all over me. My only wish is that Zest put an emphasis on foods that contain nuts and which nuts. I understand a lot of vegan foods use cashews almonds and pine nuts as substitutes but I felt like walnuts were a bit random to have in nachos that I didn't consider that dish to be nut free before ordering. Good to know next time but the food was bomb!

A Place That Fails on Every Level, Safety, Integrity, and Basic Care…read more I've eaten here multiple times and every visit left me, my friends and family feeling physically ill. Why? Because they use cheap low quality canola oil and it shows both on the palate and in the body. But the deeper issue isn't just what's in the food. It's what's rotting beneath the surface. A close friend of mine Brittney (17 and under age in this experience) reached out to the owner to explore a collaborative business opportunity. Instead of professionalism she was met with a shocking invitation to hot tub together. Completely inappropriate and wildly unprofessional. Even more disturbing are the longstanding sexual allegations against kitchen staff he's kept on for years. Employees are routinely fired often for things they didn't do while the owner claims surveillance cameras prove it. Yet those cameras never seem to catch actual wrongdoing. Convenient isn't it. Meanwhile he creates a culture of fear instability and dismissal. People are disposable. Boundaries are not respected whether in the kitchen or in conversation. This isn't just a bad dining experience. This is a pattern of neglect abuse of power and willful ignorance. I urge you support businesses that respect people, employees, customers and community. This is not one of them.

The staff were welcoming and kind and accommodating. I love how all the food is out so you can see what looks good. I love that they have premade combos but you can also pick your own protein and sides. Literally everything sounded good. The prices were reasonable, the food was delicious, everything came out quickly, the flavors were balanced and interesting. I got the lemongrass shrimp, Caesar broccoli, cauliflower, and the cucumber snap pea salad. I love their kids menu. The prices and options were great and they even got a Rice Krispie treat. My kids loved the Mac and cheese and the pita strips. They have a few canned beers, seltzers, and wines. They also have a couple desserts. I wish we were local- we'd be regulars.

This time around, once again a simple lunch for two (no drinks) ran to over $60, but that's not what was so disappointing. The food was just terrible. I had the green curry stir fry, which was a pile of bell peppers (not found in Thai food, BTW) and onions, with just a few sad bits of protein. My wife's sweet and sour was a collection of fried dough, the protein indiscernible. What was unforgivable, though, was the rice was old and tough, obviously left over from the previous day, and reheated in a microwave. If they're cutting corners this bad, they don't deserve to charge such exorbitant prices.

Their chickpea bao buns with chipotle aioli blew me away. It was the perfect level of spicy and very filling without making me feel heavy. It seemed actually nutritious, so no need for the guilt after (that I saved for the cinnamon roll dessert I picked up at the same time). The price was also very affordable. I love how much variety is available here and that it's all vegan. I always feel spoiled for choice, I never know what to get because it all looks so good. There's a decent amount of seating inside. The ladies at the shop are always very friendly. This is an amazing spot for a sweet treat or a quick meal. One of my top vegan spots in Salt Lake.

Their burritos and fries are my go-to favorites. The burritos are just top-notch, but I have a soft spot for their fries -- it's kind of an inside joke for me. Whenever I go out to eat with people, they always say, "Well, I know what El is having," because I always get fries with my food. But theirs are surprisingly amazing. Fries are usually just "fine" or "good," but theirs? They're very good. The owner is incredibly kind, and their baked goods are fantastic -- especially the peanut butter brownie, which I can't recommend enough. Their soft serve is also really good, and I'm excited to try some of their candy next time. I even took a non-vegan friend there, and he really enjoyed the food. Beyond the food, the team is so nice, and they have a little vegan market with some really cool products. I bought about half a pound of vegan bacon from them, and now I'm making all kinds of breakfast sandwiches at home. If you're in the area, whether you're vegan or not, Sweet Hazel is a must-visit. And if you can't stop by in person, their partner company Break Free Candy ships their sweets, which is awesome. Seriously, if you order anything from the menu, make it the peanut butter brownie. It's life-changing -- and I say that as a huge brownie lover.

Food came out quick and it was delicious! We got their paradise hot dog and their sweet plantain trio. The paradise hot dog with fries was the best! They put pineapples on top with some grilled onions and just something about that sweet and savory combo had me craving it the next day. The sweet plantain trio was another sweet and savory experience. They put the sweet plantains at the bottom and smother it with beef, sausages, cheese, corn, and pork belly on the top. It was so yummy, but more for sharing rather than eating alone. I can't wait to come back!!

Like always, Yelp helped me find another great spot! We were traveling through Utah and this was…read moreour first food stop of the trip. It definitely did NOT disappoint! The staff was friendly and welcoming. The restaurant was very clean. First of all, Muertos Cantina is a total vibe! The inside is so cool with fluorescent lighting, colorful decor and bottles displayed beautifully behind the bar. Even the bathrooms are worth mentioning! Each one is decorated differently with tons of bright colors. Seriously, each bathroom is like its own little fiesta sanctuary. Now for the FOOD! They start you off with fresh tortilla chips and a trio of salsas, and the chips were AMAZING (especially the flour chips). Each salsa had its own completely different flavor. The Red Chile Arbol had some heat, the Chipitle Lime Crema was smooth & creamu, and then there was the milder Tomatillo Verde, which was my favorite. Soooo good! We also tried the Agua Frescas. They were refreshing, flavorful and really pretty to look at. The watermelon was probably our least favorite, but to me anything watermelon flavored can sometimes taste a little watered down. The pineapple was definitely the winner because it was way more flavorful and satisfying. Then came the Elote Corn Dip. YUMMY! It had fire roasted corn, cheese, spices, crema, pico de gallo, cilantro and Tajín. It had so much flavor and texture. Definitely one I would order again. My daughter chose the Birria Ramen, and I think this might have been her favorite part of the meal. It had slow cooked beef birria, consommé, melty cheese and ramen noodles with cilantro and red onions, plus lime and radishes on the side. It had a little spice to it and was absolutely packed with flavor. She loved it! My husband ordered one of their burritos with a side of tater tots. The kid in him was VERY happy that tater tots were an option. And FYI the burritos here are HUGE. I ordered the Smothered Spicy Chile Verde Burrito, and OMG. It had braised pork in chile verde sauce with rice and refried black beans, wrapped in a flour tortilla and then smothered with MORE chile verde, melted cheese and chipotle lime crema. It was MASSIVE and SO GOOD! I honestly have yet to find anything in Reno that compares to this one. I would order it again in a heartbeat. And whatever you do, SAVE ROOM FOR DESSERT! We got the churro beignets, and they were fantastic. Covered in cinnamon sugar and drizzled with caramel and condensed milk... seriously, what more do you need? They were the perfect way to finish the meal. Muertos Cantina ended up being such a great first stop on our Utah trip. Fun atmosphere, really good food, huge portions and so many different flavors. Again the atmosphere set the entire vibe for our meal. Yelp came through for me again!

The food is still very good here and some of my previous gripes are no longer an issue. I can now order tacos and burritos à la carte again. While there is still no way to go pick whatever salsa I want and the options are still more limited than before, at least they bring out 3 of my favorites with the chips now. The drinks are still just okay , a shadow of their former selves and I will never be able to accept the loss of my beloved watermelon margarita, the way they used to make it, but I will concede the drinks are decent. Service was fine. Parking is a hassle but that's just Sugarhouse. ‍ So yeah, I guess I'm back to "willing to eat here once in a while", from "I'm never eating here again". They even have a nice taco Tuesday deal which I may hit up in the near future.
