    It's been our go to restaurant for over 20 years and have never been disappointed. Consistently…read moreamazing food every time. The service is fast and friendly. They make you feel like you're part of the family. Flora is the nicest person I've ever met and she can take the entire group's orders without even writing it down. The atmosphere is very comfortable and relaxing with a beautiful Mexican theme. I've never had a bad meal there and if you like margaritas with a boost, try the Cadillac Margarita. It's awesome.

    Absolutely the worst Mexican food I have ever had. DISGUSTING! After eating, I was very concerned…read moreabout getting food poisoning. Luckily, that didn't happen. First time here, trying new (to us) places in Brookings. Came in on Sunday 3-1-26 for lunch. Only one server so service was slow with the 6 tables occupied. Three in our party. I ordered the pork burrito with rice and beans, the other two people in our party ordered the chicken burrito with rice and beans. Also ordered two iced teas. Water was complimentary. 1. Ice tea tasted like it had sat out on the counter for days. It had a moldy taste. We took one sip and that was enough. 2. The lettuce on the plates also tasted moldy. It had been cooked and was translucent. 3. All of our meals were drowning in red or green sauce. The burritos were filled with just meat and an over abundance of sauce. Meat was OK but had minimal flavor. 4. Refried beans were over cooked and runny. 5. Service was slow and not that good but I also understand that there was only one person doing the work. 6. Bench seat was so worn out that I had to sit in the middle so as not to sink to the floor. The only positives were the chips, salsa, and water. Never got offered refills on the water even though all three of our glasses were empty. We simply could not stomach the disgusting iced tea. WOULD NEVER GO BACK. This is by far the worst Mexican food I have ever been served. It was disgusting.

    First place we tried when we got to Brookings…read more Great food and service. Came here with the family. We got 2 pizzas that were shareable sizes. We got a margherita and all meat. Both really good and made in their stone oven. We also got the calmari for appetizers. Calamari cooked perfectly, not rubbery. Light batter, crispy, and seasoned really well that gave it great flavor. Others in the group ordered a clam chowder bread bowl, chicken Parmesan, fish & chips and shrimp & chips. The overall consensus was good. Casual atmosphere and perfect location. It's at the boardwalk near an arcade. During the day, there's also ice cream and coffee nearby. Couldn't get any pictures.

    My husband and I moved to gold beach a couple of years ago and are slowly making our way through…read moreall of the amazing restaurants on the coast, this was our first time trying Zola's on the water. We came down to Brookings to take care of some business and decided to stop in for lunch and a drink afterwards. We weren't especially hungry so we ordered our usual favorites (clam chowder for me and steamer clams for the fellow) that combo usually helps us decide whether or not we want to return, without breaking the bank on a new spot. Our server was delightful, she was kind and attentive without being overbearing. Our order took a little longer than expected for what we ordered but we didn't mind, we had some nice blackberry cider they had on tap to tide us over. I was a little disappointed when our meals came out and I didn't get a slice of bread with my bowl of clam chowder like the fellow did with his steamers, but we were able to buy a half batard for $5 and that was perfect for us to split. It came out warm with a side of butter and complimented the chowder much nicer than the oyster crackers they originally brought out would have. In fact I recommend getting the bread if you order the chowder, it almost stole the show. The chowder was delicious, could've been warmer but still very tasty, the potatoes were cut super thin, and the clams were plump and tender and tasted fresh, they did add bacon but not in overwhelming amounts, and I thought it was spiced perfectly. I only added a few shakes of red pepper flakes to finish it. The fellow thought his steamer clams/mussels were marvelous, with a very flavorful broth, and he loved the fact that he was allowed to mix them. They made a good first impression on us, we will definitely be returning for dinner and ordering a couple of pizzas and perhaps a salad as well. Who knows, they may prove to be one of our new favorite spots.
