My wife and I came here once probably about 10 years ago. But we only had a drink before our ferry left. I least wanted to return to try the food. Finally got the chance this past weekend. Sometimes when you build an anticipation for something long the experience ends up disappointing. I'm happy that wasn't the case here. My expectations were met and more. The fish tacos were excellent. The Mahi Mahi was fresh. I wouldn't be surprised if it was caught that morning. And the tortillas tasted like they were made in house, not store bought. My wife's carnitas bowl an son's carne asada tacos were also phenomenal. I was considering a beer but decided to go with a margarita instead. The waitress suggested the watermelon margarita for a lighter refreshing taste. I went with it and she was right, refreshing m, light but with a slight punch. Went down smooth. I'd like to try the regular margarita next time. Service was friendly and the food came out quick despite it being packed the day before Thanksgiving. Ambaince is fun. Great place to hang out but also family friendly. Definitely don't skip this spot when in Culebra. read more

I highly recommend the carnitas bowl. It's delicious and filling. It's big enough to share with somebody else. I also recommend the orange flan. I've never had an orange flan before, but the waitress recommended it. This was probably the best thing we had. Margaritas are also very good. read more

Fresh tacos and other food served in a fun, relaxed setting with a good amount of outdoor seating. The staff was happy and energetic, trying that everyone had a great experience. The nachos were hot and fresh, and the salsa was decently spicy. I had the Carne Asada tacos and Joanna had the Mahi-mahi tacos, which were some of the best I've ever had. The sauce was flavorful and complemented rather than overwhelmed the fish read more

Loved this place for dinner on Culebra. There were no vegan entrees but they offered 3 different options to make vegan. I chose the burrito at the advice of the server. Even without the cheese and sour cream, it was delicious and filling, and came with a side of chips and salsa. I also ordered a virgin pina colada, which was delicious. My son got the cheese quesadilla and loved it. My husband ordered asada tacos and said they were excellent. Decor was so cute and service was top notch. Highly recommend! read more

Great covered outdoor space, fun vibes and friendly service, generous nachos, delicious salsas, fantastic drinks (anything with passionfruit because they put a lot of pure passionfruit in the drinks), and delightful desserts: tres leches was fantastic with a chilled soaked cake, and the orange flan was flavorful, bright, and delicious. read more

Ambience is this place's strong suit, but the tacos and the pina coladas were good too. We came in on a Tuesday night and it was quite busy. The employees there are kind of big on personality, in a good way, and the split-level dining room, fully covered but otherwise outdoors, is a fun environment. Our food was tasty and satisfying, but pricey. It was a bit of a struggle for them to figure out how to split the check, but now I feel like I'm being picky. If I find myself back on this island someday, I will definitely find time to have one of my meals here again. read more

Some of the best al pastor tacos I've had. My friend also loved the fish tacos. I usually order spicy drinks, but ordered the Coco margarita and it did not disappoint. Great vibe and the staff were great. Place is popular so we intentionally did an early dinner to avoid the line. read more

This was my first time here. I came here because of the many great reviews I've read on Yelp. (Thanks guys/gals) The young man at the door greeted us allowing us to pick our table. A high top is perfect! We started off with drinks. I had the mango margarita. It went down well. I then ordered the local beer called born on the beach. How appropriate since we are on Culebra island which is 20 miles off of Puerto Rico. Zaco Taco is all about worshipping the taco. That being said I actually thought they would have offered a lot more options. As well as being able to mix in order to try the different flavors. But honestly, I'm glad we tried Zaco Taco. They even brought in live music. The only issue was parking. Ugh! That is the only thing holding Zaco from business explosion! read more

5 Stars from beginning to end. Superior service and excellent food. Highly recommended! Carne nachos were the best ever!

Pork belly tacos are amazing, they really add a crap load of onions and cilantro, so be aware. The meat is crispy and full of flavor!

Great vibe! But I'd say it's the most non-elevated taco experience I had in my life. I totally understand that it's in a small island so we are price takers. But I'd expect something more. We had fajitas, buritos, salsa and chips, old fashioned, margarita, and tres leches all come to over $100. Again, food is decent but nothing special or unique. I've had better Mexican foods even from fast-casual chains. For the price, I feel like I'm eating tacos from a restaurant in NYC! Service was fast and waiter was attentive. read more

We went here several times during our stay in Culebra and we really enjoyed this place! It was honestly our favorite restaurant on the island. The service was great! No matter what server we had the service was excellent! The food was very good! Out of all the restaurants that we went to in Culebra, this one has the best food! The atmosphere was authentic and warm! We had the bean bowl, asada bowl, bean burrito, tres leches, and other things, all of which were great! Our servers Raquel and Andres were amazing! If you visit the island of Culebra, this restaurant is a must visit! read more

Literally saved us from a very very hungry night. Arrived in Culebra without a car and any food... bad plan. They were the only place to deliver here (I think) and I am so happy we went with them! The tacos were packed with meat and the burrito weighed like 5 lbs, all of it delicious. Extremely nice people that we are very grateful for! Was pricey but worth every penny right now read more

Evelyn G.'s 3 Star Review is dead on. The band was great! They let our friend sing a whole song. Unforgettable!

Came for the margaritas and left happy. They have a pretty lengthy menu and the atmosphere is really really cute. Signage is a little hard to see but the opening is through a door on the Main Street. read more

Don't be like me and be fooled by the outside looks. Zaco's Tacos must be one of the best options in Culebra. I'm glad I walked in after so many years just walking by. Beautiful seating area, great food and ambiance. Thanks to Andres for being such a great host. read more

We came to this taco place randomly but the food here actually exceeded our expectations. We ordered chicken burrito which was full of flavor and the chicken was very tender. Also tried their tamarind margarita which was refreshing and sour(in a good way). Music was dancy. Only downside was the price was a little steep. read more

Highly recommend this spot! As a true taco lover (and a picky one at that), I was blown away... these tacos were phenomenal. I was full with the 1st two, but I couldn't resist leaving the third one behind. The flavors were fresh, bold, and so satisfying. I also had the mango margarita, and it was a good mix of sweet and refreshing. Honestly, if I go back to Culebra I will definitely visit Zaco's tacos again. A must visit! read more

It's not tasty, and overpriced. Almost all is spicy. It's too noisy. I don't understand why there is such a long line at the restaurant. It's not worth your time or your money. read more

Wow, to say this place was crap service would be a huge understatement. The staff was completely disengaged and our order came out in one dish at a time and some dishes never came out. After two hours, I asked for the check and they were shocked that the order was still incomplete. The hostess was rude and the fact that there was a wait for at least 30-60 minutes with open tables was a joke. I felt bad for the people who stood in line and were never sat. They were basically told, "if you haven't order by now, you are screwed." Avoid this place after 630 pm because it is a shi* show and the staff is bad at managing the situation. read more

The ambiance was on point and so was the service. Very friendly staff and very hard workers. The food was very well presented and came out pretty quick. The only reason why this spot is not a 5 star is due to their Old Fashioned and my Fish Tacos being over cooked. My husband and I consider ourselves avid, experienced Old Fashioned drinkers. The Old Fashioned here was lacking something.... We asked the bartender and she mentioned all the right ingredients, however, we didn't taste the Angostura Bitters. Almost as if they had mixed up Angostura Bitters with Orange bitters. For the price ($18) we expected something better. My suggestion is to stick to Mexican drinks. The Mezcalita was AMAZING!!! Will definitely come back and hope to see the New Administration (6 months under new Admin) thriving. Best Wishes!!! read more

We were in Culebra with another couple and our daughter. Another couple our daughter knew was on holidays the same time and planned to meet for supper. We were informed at the time of booking a table there would be a mandatory 22% tip. We left because of their tip policy so they missed out on a $250.00-$300.00 meal sale read more

We had a great time! We were looking for a quick bite, not much was open as it was a holiday. However, this place did not disappoint! The food was great (and so were the drinks), and the service was even better! 4 people ordered special drinks and they arrived within like 3 minutes! And this was on Easter! The ambiance was great as well, but you will most definitely see chickens so be prepared for that! The only, and I really think only drawback, was the price. It was quite expensive, but we really did have a great time. Thank you to Zaco's Tacos!! read more

A lively, enjoyable dining experience. Good food, good service. We really enjoyed the piña coladas. Would go here again.

The service was great! Very friendly and welcoming. The drinks were good! The prices were a bit high for the food that was just okay.

Nice ambience, good music. The food was good. Note the price tends to be higher considered to mainland US (which is to be expected). read more

Hands down the best Hispanic food I've eat in my life! Perfect tacos which don't fall apart, delicious burritos and best cocktails in the area. And the best bonus was the live music with entertaining parts, involving restaurant guests. Andres and the bartending team made this dinner special by providing good and fast on time service. Please make sure you go to Zacos before you try any restaurant around, and, I promise you, it will be delightful experience compared to other options this island has to offer! PS thanks to our lovely friends who lead us here based on their own experience at Culebra. read more

Excellent service! Staff was warm, happy and welcoming! Would return for sure! The ambiance and decor was nice.

For our last meal on Culebra, we chose Zaco's Tacos. From the outside, it looks like a little hole in the wall but it actually has a beautiful multi-level back patio that makes for a great place to hang out. Despite the name, I actually ended up choosing a chicken quesadilla for my dinner and I was very impressed. I'd even go so far as to say that it was one of my favorite quesadilllas ever. Some end up too greasy or cheesy but this one had the perfect amount of cheese and a minimal amount of grease. I really wasn't hungry enough to eat an entire quesadilla but I tried my best as I couldn't bring the leftovers back to the mainland with me. I also ordered a fruity margarita (I can't remember what kind as they were out of the first one I ordered and substituted it but it was possibly passion fruit or guava) and it was amazing! Unfortunately, my boyfriend was less impressed with his meal. He ordered a vegetarian burrito and didn't find it to be anything special. read more

On our first night in Culebra, we went to a place that starts with a "D" and the second word starts with a "D". Terrible service at the bar, food was 'meh'. Next night we walk into Zaco's. Immediately the ambiance it 1000 times better and the bartender is AWESOME. So fun, made us special drinks, happy and friendly!! Pork belly tacos are amazing!!!! We will come here every day until we leave. read more

Best service and ambiance on the island and the food was made with love. Sick swag too

The service here is horrible. We got seated and the waiter didn't even give us the menu or ask what we would like to drink.... 15 min goes by and the waiter comes " what are you ordering " ... we all looked confused because no one gave us a menu to begin with!! After telling her we don't have the menu she got annoyed n pointed to the screen over at the bar " it's over there!" ... of course I have to get up walked over up the stairs and take a picture of the menu n send it to my party of 8.... Like what kind of business is this.... If the menu is by the bar , it'll be nice to let us know instead of seating us n wasted over 15 min. I wouldn't recommend this place.... Culebra is such a small island and there's only so many places that is open to eat at night... this is one them but good luck getting miss treated. I say u get better food and services at Dinghy Dock restaurant!!!!!! read more

Crazy expensive and the food was sub par. We got takeout since we had a large group and everyone had similar comments about the food. It was very disappointing. We had to return multiple times to pick up the order since they were slow getting it out. The interior was nice looking. If you are looking for a main land bar, have money to blow, and just want to have a few drinks, sitting down looked nice. If you just want to eat, look elsewhere. read more

great service and atmosphere, and the food was great, the best tacos I ever had, and I have never imagined that I will taste something like this in this island read more

Eat here!! Tacos in Puerto Rico are so hard to find so my boyfriend and I were ready for some good Mexican food when we found Zacos! We get amazing tacos in San Diego, and Zacos is right at that level! Every time we come to Culebra we eat here almost every day at some point. If you don't know what to eat and you're in Culebra, eat here for sure. It does get busy so the earlier you can get there the better to snag a table. They do not take reservations as far as I'm aware so first come first serve. Don't expect the world's fastest service but just get a margarita to sip on and you'll forget all about the wait. I love a spicy margarita but they don't play around with their spice so be careful of that. Always a vibe in there too. Neon signs, wood paneling, lots of kitschy decor, a ton to look at! read more

Very tasty tacos, cold beer, and nice service. Slightly hidden away off the main road and not much of a view compared to other places nearby. But food prices are reasonable and they are open during lunch hours. Not all restaurants are open these days. read more

Aqui los tragos son mas caros que el restaurante, hotel lo que sea mas fino de San Juan y mas malos también, $18 por cocktail ni en Serafina. La comida salio rapido, bien presentada, cara, pero bueno. Por el precio de los tacos te compra un filetes de chillo, si tienes antojos de tacos jodete. read more

Great Place, especially when you want a gluten-free AND vegan/vegetarian option for a change. Fun & relaxing vibe. Awesome service. I had a delicious watermelon lemonade that the bartender made this morning. Loved the place. And don't get confused by the "For Sale " sign outside. They're open. read more

From all the good reviews, I expected something much better. The seating is ample. The atmosphere is beach-bar style. Our server and the employees were friendly but kind of distant. We ordered some beer on tap but mine was flat. Chips and salsa are not complimentary but we ordered some to try anyway. The chips were fine but the salsa was boring with too strong of a tomato flavor. For food we wanted to try their "amazing" tacos, as some reviewers claim, so we ordered the Carne Asada, Beer Battered Fish, and Pork Belly tacos. They all looked amazing but after tasting them, we were disappointed. Nothing terrible. But the flavors were just bland. The meat for the Carne Asada was cut into tiny cubes so was a bit dry. The beer battered fish could have been a frozen fish-stick and I wouldn't have known the difference. The guacamole was bland. The pico de gallo, like the salsa, had too strong of a tomato flavor. These tacos were not amazing at all. At $4-$6 a taco it seems a little over priced for how small they are. Take into account the lack-luster flavors and this place should be a hard pass. I do not recommend. It's a bit disappointing because a friend who was with us really enjoyed this place some years back. Unfortunately, it seems to have lost what it once had because we were not impressed. Perhaps they can make some improvements and get it back. But until then, I do not recommend this place unless you're desperate for tacos. read more
