Big group of people for lunch on a work day? No worries, Zacks has the seating for you! Just go…read moreearly... as early as possible... I have always like their food. Decent portion for the price, good fries, food does not that too long to come for an a la carte place. I have tried their chicken wraps and burgers with no complains. Was there last Friday and despite advise from a colleague who tried their prawns/shrimp cream cheese sandwich, i went with it anyways. Good amount of prawns, bread was OK...

(and I do mean ABSOLUTELY CRAZY...) would I recommend this. Would still go back though, I still l like their burgers and wraps :)

I often pair my lunch special with one of the many juice options - for anyone looking to experiment with a Brazilian fruit they've never tried, this place has a solid list to choose from. Outdoor seating (and a handful of indoors tables as well), Balada Mix is ideal for a quick, casual and healthy lunch. I wouldn't recommend this place if it's raining as there aren't that many indoor tables.
