    Chunky salsa
    Dan A.

    Very unassuming restaurant with a tight parking lot. Very welcoming staff , seated me right away. Full bar with cans of sodas, rather than fountain drinks. Booths or tables to choose from. TV's hung on the walls. Chips and salsa delivered right away. Salsa was chunky style. Really good flavor. Not hot, mild. House margarita was very tasty. I got a combination plate with a crunchy shredded beef taco, chile relleno, beans and rice . A lot of beans and rice, I couldn't eat it all. The taco shell was definitely home made. The shredded beef was spiced and cooked well. The Chile relleno was covered in a red enchilada sauce and stuffed with cheese. I love rellenos and this one was good. My water was kept filled and the staff was very friendly and polite. I would not hesitate to eat here again next time I'm in town.

    Quesabirria Tacos

    If you're looking for authentic mexican food with a family feel go to Zacatecas restaurant on 137th! Food is absolutely delicious, from the quesabirria tacos to the caldos, everything is soo good. I promise you this is the place to be. You'll always be greeted and treated like a family.

    Delicious tart lime margarita, I'll have 2 please.

    It's Thank You Thursday...and it would not be complete without sharing a heartfelt Thank You to the restaurant that fills our bellies time and time again. Zacatecas YOU are a south bay staple and it's refreshing to have you in the neighborhood. Your friendly greetings, super tasty food, and consistency is why my family visits often both dining inside and takeout. Sometimes we need a round or two of your tart margaritas so dining at the restaurant is a must - let's face it, you rock the experience, hands down. Thank you Zacatecas. Thanks for making us happy time and time again. Keep rockin' it!

    It had been so long since I've been here and it's still fantastic! Stopped in late Monday and they were a little busy but we still got a roomy booth. Easy parking, and service was quick and friendly. Love the food, had a few different options and everything was great. Prices are fair and I'll definitely be back for more.

    Shredded Beef Burrito. Bean & cheese burrito. Rice.

    I was in town visiting a friend and I told him I wanted Mexican food & he brought me here. This place is worth any wait there could ever be. When you first walk in your welcomed almost to what feels like a family dinner, they seat and give you one of the menus I have pictured. The menu offers you a strong selection of amazing traditional Hispanic dishes. My bean & cheese burrito with a side of rice was literally perfect. My friend got a shredded beef burrito & it was amazing as well. I will definitely be back to try something new & I genuinely can't wait

    Stumbled into this place waiting for our flight at LAX, I'm sure glad I did! Amazing service and amazing food. The enchiladas and the chile relleno were delicious!! We also ordered the fish and governor tacos. Make sure you ask for the spicy green sauce! I will definitely be back before any of my LAX flights

    Asada fajitas
    Joy C.

    Went to meet up with friends who had a long layover at LAX. We found Zacatecas and it definitely didn't disappoint. There were 9 of us in our party and they had complimentary chips and salsa for the table. Our food took a while to come out but everything was delicious. Everyone ordered something different. The tostada was massive, the Tom's burrito was packed with everything. I loved my garlic shrimp dish, my friend enjoyed her asada fajitas, the kids loved the quesadilla, birria tacos. We also enjoyed their margarita. We also had flan for dessert. No wonder there's a line outside when it's peak time because the restaurant is loved and enjoyed by locals.

    Good Friday. Very delicious
    Jessie T.

    This place is always good. Good Friday, order the fish no rice no beans, just fries. Chips and salsa. Always great service. Thank you

    Particle found in my burrito.
    Joy D.

    I enjoyed my Tom's burrito me and my friend gave it a 9/10. The only thing is that my stomach is feeling funny like something wasn't "fresh" and I found some kind of string in my leftover burrito. The chips and salsa were ok and so was the Jamaica. Nothing amazing. Really great service very friendly, especially Juan. Enough booth seating. Small quaint restaurant.

    Starting from top to bottom: Chicken enchilada, shrimp tacos, and beef tacos
    Alvin Y.

    Came to Zacatecas with a group and left very satisfied. Right when you sit down, they bring out complimentary chips and salsa, which is always a good sign--and the salsa had a nice kick, not bland at all. For food, we ordered a little of everything. The beef tacos were solid: flavorful, juicy meat, well-seasoned, and served simply so the beef really shines. The shrimp tacos were cooked perfectly, not overdone, and packed with flavor. We also got the chicken enchiladas, which were comforting and hearty. The chicken was tender, the sauce was rich without being overpowering, and everything tasted fresh. Lastly, the chile verde was everyone's favorite. Super savory, tender pork, and that green sauce had depth with a spicy kick that kept you coming back for more. Overall, generous portions, classic Mexican flavors, and very friendly staff. Definitely a spot I'd come back to when craving real Mexican food.

    Tom's Burrito and 2 Governor's Shrimp Tacos...delicioso!
    Toshi I.

    Great chips and salsa. Service was friendly and fast. Casual place and we sat in a booth. Tender carne asada. Hubs ordered the burrito. I ordered the Governor's shrimp tacos. So delicious. Popular place especially with the locals. Parked around the corner. Parking in their tiny front area is really tight.

    Menudo (Sat and Sun only), house chips and salsa, and a chicken bowl.
    Lorena M.

    A perfect place for a home cooked Mexican meal. The service is always the same - fast, attentive, and always in a good place. No matter how busy or how chatoic, the team at Zacatecas always gives 110% to serve their customers. Ive been coming here for almost 4 years and I never have had a negative thing to say (other than the parking but for a prime location off a main street I don't blame them). Food is always good and tastes fresh. The servers are friendly and always answer any questions you have. Its a community staple for a reason. Highly recommend for a quick lunch or a filling dinner. Always a treat to come back to. Favorite Dish: Menudo or Sopa de Albondigas (Meatball soup)

    Fresh chips and salsa, water with lemon to aid with digestion, and Jamaica juice.
    Avertid V.

    I enjoyed my first visit to this cute, authentic Mexican restaurant. The service was excellent. I had a veggie burrito without queso, and the kind server added avocado on the side at no extra charge. The chips were fresh and warm, and the Jamaica drink was perfect for quenching my thirst. Thank you for your incredible service, gentlemen.

    Chili Verde was goooooooood & FLAVORFUL! It came out hot & fresh topped off with an over-easy egg.

    Review on chicken tacos?

    The chicken tacos I had were juicy and well marinated .

    As of Sept 18, what safety precautions do they take, such as servers wearing face shields (mandaed by LA County Health Dept), disposable plates and cups and silverware and menus and condiment packages?

    I only order things to go but while waiting for my food I noticed that they take great precautions to safeguard the customers that eat at the restaurant while dining outside.… Read more

    During Covid-19, how many tables do they have outside and how many people can each table seat?

    I ate there during covid and there were about four tables that seat four.

    As of August 8, do they have outdoor dining or when do they plan to have it?

    They have about 4 canopies set and can 8 to 12 folks from what I saw.

    Do they cater?

    Yes, they do cater. We have used there catering service in the past for our Teacher Appreciation luncheons.

    Do they have any decent vegan choices?

    Unfortunately they do not have vegan options. I guess you could order their vegetarian burrito with no cheese and it should be safe but that's probably it.

    DELICIOUS FOOD!! Amazing service and a cozy, quiet ambiance…read more I came here yesterday and I'm already back again today. My boyfriend and I love coming here to study -- it's seriously the perfect spot. The two ladies working were very sweet and welcoming, and they offer free Wi-Fi, which is a huge plus. Okay, now let's talk about the crepes Yesterday we tried the Fresh Apples & Cinnamon crepe, and it was soooo good. The perfect amount of sweet. I honestly thought it might be a little dry, but trust me -- it's not at all. There's a cinnamon sauce inside that makes it perfect. You have to try it. The fruit was super fresh and great quality. Today we tried the Chicken Pesto crepe, and this was my first time ever having a savory crepe... SO GOOD. It comes with cheese, grilled chicken, and pesto, plus a side spinach salad with feta, tomatoes, and dressing. The chicken was very well cooked -- moist, tender, and not dry at all -- which honestly made the whole dish even better. Everything tasted fresh, and the portion was super filling. I was really impressed. I don't know why this place isn't busier because the food is amazing!!I'll definitely keep coming back to study and enjoy some really good food. 10/10 recommend -- you need to try this place.

    Hidden at the back of a lawndale shopping center is a hidden gem, a crepe shop!…read more Was craving a sweet treat and stumbled apon this place after doing a yelp search for desserts. I looove a crepe and can be a bit picky as some places make then too dry or too wet. This crepe was perfection, and still kept its crispy texture. I ordered a strawberry crepe and it came out soo pretty looking. The service was quick and friendly. One women working the counter and quickly whipped up my crepe. The place is huuuge and yhe perfect place to study at,they do have reported free wifi. I will definitely come back to study here as the music is low and the vibes are calm. My go to place if I ever crave a crepe :)

It's not dinner time yet so the tater tots and the other burger are waiting to be devoured... A must try...

    I've been to another Made Burger location before (the to-go only one), so this was my first time…read moredining in at this spot with a few coworkers. It was nice finally getting to sit down and enjoy the food fresh. I ordered the mushroom burger with chili cheese fries, and both hit the spot. The burger was juicy and loaded with flavorful mushrooms, and the fries were a great, hearty side. The fries portion was also huge so it was great to share as well. The service was smooth and convenient. You can order either at the register or through a kiosk, which I liked since it shows pictures of the food. The kiosk also helped me discover items I didn't notice on the menu board, like the mushroom burger and chili cheese fries, which ended up being great choices. The dining area is on the smaller side with just a few tables, but when we went it wasn't busy at all, so there was plenty of seating. I've always enjoyed their burgers, and this visit was no different.
