As a local I like a good happy hour on a weekday. The taquitos and the bacon wrapped dates are GOOD!

Junior is amazing!!! He's the best server. Food is bomb. Birria tacos great, truffle fries delicious

From the minute you walk into Zama the vibe instantly changes. From the greenery to the music and atmosphere, this bar is fully stocked with a full selection of cold beers on tap, great liquor and food options to satisfy everyone's tastebuds. read more

This place has a great evening vibe and the service was very attentive. My boyfriend got an old fashioned and I had the Cancun water. Both drinks were worthwhile! The shrimp taco and chicken taquitos were excellent. read more

Zama - Cancun Water, Old Fashioned & Chicken Taquitos - Lounges Near Me - Fullerton, California

Tried this new place with friends before heading to our actual dinner. OpenTable says only a few spots left for reservation, went there it was not even packed. The place and the vibe were okay, nothing special. We ordered 2 appetizers, 1 mocktail, and 1 cocktail our bill was about $80. I think it's okay to pay for the price if the food is good at least. The appetizer we ordered was lemon pepper wings and chips with guac. The wings are too salty for some reason, the guac is bland we had to ask for salt and the drinks are okay. Our server looked annoyed when we placed our order she said "That's it?" and didn't bother to give us a napkin and a straw for our water. Had to ask a different server lol. I mean we are not here for actual dinner, we just wanted to try out the appetizer or drinks. I'd say if you want a chill vibe or something to hang out with your friends, there's a better place for drinks and appetizers. But if you don't mind eating an okay meal this is your place. read more

ZAMA! My husband and I are definitely coming back here again! The decor and music was absolutely amazing. Our mixologist was on point with his drinks. The service was lively, humble and entertaining. We ordered their truffle fries....devoured. Delectable! Excellent cocktails tailored to your liking! read more

Zama - Drinks - Lounges Near Me - Fullerton, California

This place is a shit show, came in around midnight we were greeted and let them know we would be ordering .... 15min later no one came by, and when we brought it to their attention and they mentioned last call had been done a few minutes ago. We had no warning they definitely did not want a group of gay men in the practically empty bar. Brought the attention to the general manager and she didn't care that we were completely ignored guess everyone was over it and didn't want to serve patrons or listen to potential future customers, we will definitely never step door into this establishment in the future. Proceed with caution! read more

We checked this place out over the weekend ! We absolutely loved it . Great customer service very inviting and awesome drinks definitely will visit again. read more

Zama - Pineapple mojito - Lounges Near Me - Fullerton, California

Drinks and food are well worth it. Good for couple or groups. Hostess were all nice and helpful... always plus.

We went for a birthday and were the ONLY people in the restaurant. We had a party of 8 and the restaurant was empty yet our appetizers arrived before we could get water for the 3 people who arrived late.. I had to ask several times for water for them.This was just the beginning of the problems.They didn't know if chips & salsa were being served yet the menus says it was all day long & it took forever for our food to start arriving. Each plate was delivered at separate times and EVERY order was wrong.1st plate to come out was Chilaquiles with green salsa & chicken on the side. 1 runny egg & 1 well done egg is what was ordered. Both eggs were hard & there was hardly any sauce. We mentioned to our waitress & asked if we could get a runny egg (over easy)She assured us she would get one apologizing. Everyone else was waiting for food as by now they were busy.Next dish arrives with hashbrowns but cottage potatoes were ordered. Waitress apologized saying they would get potatoes corrected & I asked about our missing egg again. Several minutes later two more dishes of Chilaquiles arrive. One with red sauce,beef & both a hard & over easy egg.Was to be chicken with two over easy eggs.The other green Chilaquiles came with chicken but was to be beef no onions. It came with chicken & tons of onions. His eggs were correct (over easy).Mind you it had been 20 minutes & we still had missing food & the first two orders not fixed.Next plate was brought with cottage potatoes & was to have had hash browns.Later Avocado toast arrived with a soggy untoasted piece of bread with guacamole on it?30 minutes & we decide to just take the chicken in green sauce & swap with beef in red sauce plus give 1 over easy egg to daughter who never got her redone egg from the 1st plate.Last plate was to be a veggie omelet but what came out was a 2" thick flat cake looking thing. Over cooked, dark brown edges all around. I asked for a manger. Every plate was wrong in some way.I requested a manger several times & I saw her look over at us many times only to avoid us. Our waitress was slammed but apologized many times. This was not her problem or mistakes, yet she's the only one who took accountability. She repeated our orders back to us.She had them right.This was all in the kitchen.When the manager finally showed up she never apologized.I asked about the pancake looking omelet & she said "that's an omelet? " I asked if that's how they always cooked it and she said no. She said they could remake but I said no thank you.We had waited to long already for redos as it had been over 30 minutes for all plates to come out and still things were missing.She said she would remove the veggie omelet as if that was a huge gesture.She left without offering an acceptable resolution to all the problems.We sat there for an extremely long time again waiting for our bill.We were there over 2 hours ... and we had to wait longer for the manager as when I got the bill they had removed the one omelet we sent back & 25% off the bill.I approached the manger asking to talk but after waiting too long, I asked another employee what the owners name was.She said she was in the kitchen and I asked to talk to her. She said she was in the kitchen and went and got her. Owner said she was in the kitchen training new cooks & that's the problem. I said I could understand but we had a problem with every plate. She apologized saying she knew exactly what 4 plates were wrong.I said it was not 4 plates but all plates. She argued it was 4 & she knew the exact plates naming them. Mind you we had 3 of 1 kind & she kept arguing there were only 4 plates messed up. This explains why they are a hot mess. The owner can't admit they screwed up an entire parties orders & only gives excusesmanagement avoided us & wasted over an hour of our timeWhen she asked if I was happy with her offer and I said no she repeated it was 4 items but offered to remove those 4 items. I agreed so we could leave but it's sad when an owner can't admit they are completely wrong. If they had addressed issues immediately and apologized I wouldn't have pushed back, but the lack of accountability and concern shows this owners true colors.We paid & the tipped our waitress over 25% as the issue was not with her. So if you want food with good flavors and don't mind waiting forever;don't care if the food comes as you requested;this might be worth a try. But if service and getting what you order matters then avoid them at all costs. ⁉For those who may think I'm being harsh; my son, a manager at a restaurant in San Diego understands good service & knows mistakes happen BUT was the one who said that 25% was not acceptable. Every plate was wrong‼ Try at your own risk read more

to be honest i never leave reviews but the service i received here was so awful i had to. while walking on the bouncer ran my friends CA real ID driver's license 4 times and almost refused to let her in. when we went to the table they rechecked all of our IDs took our dinner and drink orders. they entirely forgot to bring one of the people in our party their drink or food. we had to confront them two different times to get help. server never came to even refill our waters or give us the check. also on top of this they have signs all over their tables asking for instagram posts for a discount; which we never got. read more

Food was amazing! I had the enchiladas with the green sauce. I also had the flan,which was awesome as well. Will definitely be back! read more

Food was too expensive to make us all sick, brought out all our food literally 20 minutes apart from each other. My sister ordered nachos, which was an appetizer and came an hour after we ordered. Bad experience in all. Lights were pretty tho read more

Zama - The fries and nachos came last an hour after we ordered. Brought the 2 entrees 5 minutes after we ordered. All food was cold - Lounges Near Me - Fullerton, California

I came here today for a small bite as I wasn't all that hungry and I was greeted & seated immediately, everyone here was polite and welcoming, the place was decorated really nicely and it was very clean! I asked one of the bartenders for a recommendation and she told me about the surf and turf sushi so I ordered it and it was so amazing, perfectly cooked, very flavorful and it definitely satisfied my appetite, I can't wait to come back to try something else. read more

Great spot for late night drinks and apps! Service was on point the waitress was really cool and welcoming. Oh game night must as well, got to see Mia spank Boston! Yee warriors all day. read more

If you are on a budget or in college wouldn't recommend! For a plate of 6 shrimp and a sliver of rice and two alcoholic beverages totally came out to $60 including tip... the food had okay flavor but the shrimp was dry and over cooked. The spice/sauce was Tapatio. The service was really, really slow. We waited 10-15 minutes to get our order taken and the host was the one taking our order, the place was under staffed but food and drinks came out fast. They had good music and it was very clean. Overall just not worth the money for two drinks and one plate. read more

The food was great as well as the drinks!! The girls (bartender's) made amazing drinks! Highly recommended!

This bar has it all, I went in on a Thursday night, the music vibes put me on a different level, it was my first time coming in and the ambiance already captured me, it has its own style that will make you feel at ease, mostly because of their amazing staff that make you feel great. I ordered the Ahi Roll and it created fireworks from the first time I tasted it, and the drinks were very reasonable, can't wait until I come here again. If you want that next level feeling, I strongly suggest you check this place out! Shouts out to J and Dolce! Cheers and Salue!!! read more

Zama lounge is a great spot for happy hour, although we were too late to partake. It's also great for cocktails or dinner. I reunited here with a few college friends. Our server J was super welcoming and friendly. He made great recommendations. We ordered the Paloma with club soda vs sprite. I personally prefer squirt ir grapefruit juice. however, this drink did not disappoint. The presentation was attractive and it was delicious. We ordered guacamole and salsa for the table with chips. I ordered tacos gobernador. The guacamole was freshly made and salsa was spicy enough but not overly hot. My friend ordered the taquitos de tinga and aguachiles. We all shared and perhaps ordered a bit much lol but we wanted to try it all. Everything was delicious and the servings are large enough for sharing with 1-maybe 3 people. They play good music and it is a fun place for happy hour or weekend. I hope I can make it back for the happy hour specials read more

The only person that was nice was our server... after the night was over and got attitude from the bartender for the second time... he said he was the manager... from someone who worked in customer service for 15 years, I will not go back. Run by a bunch a kids who could give a shit about customer service. read more

came in today for my birthday, it was a fun experience. Nely recommended this place. It was a little slow since it was Wednesday but Jay, Bronny, and Rayanne made my birthday worth it.

Loved the carne asada tacos! Service was really good the waiter was so nice. Ambiance was nice as it is on the smaller side. They were out of the wagyu tacos so I look forward to next time! read more

I was really disappointed with how everything turned out. Spent $200 (not including my $40 tip, because regardless of how everything turned out, I always tip well). I was excited to try this place and the food was good, but when it came to the service from the manager that's when things took a turn straight off a cliff. I do not like to write negative reviews because I like to support small business, but this was handled improperly and I wish I could get my money back. When spending $100 for "bottomless mimosas" for four people and three of them only got one refill, that's a complete joke. Some were never refilled. We ordered before the "time cutoff" that was never relayed to the table by the waitress. The menu clearly states "2hour time limit" and if we order before the time cutoff, tell us we only have 30 minutes or give us a last call... don't become harder to get ahold of than a friend that owes you money! I really liked my waitress, she had great recommendations but i just wish she would've told us last call or even that we have X amount of minutes before cutoff... I'd like to see the wording of the menu be amended to account for a cut off time and not a 2 hour limit, because that's just false advertising. Anyway, those are my thoughts. Thanks for reading. read more

We came in on a Tuesday for some dinner. The bartender welcomed us to seat ourselves. The waitress did not seem like she wanted to be there. Took our drink order. Waited about 5 to 7 minutes. The bartender asked if our order had been taken. The bartender ensured our drink and food order was submitted. The food was good, the drink was good. We tipped our bartender since he appeared to do most of the work. We are on vacation, and would come back because the food was flavored well. read more

We came for taco Tuesday . The food was amazing we started with the steak nachos and got a couple of tacos with homemade tortillas. Everything was delicious i recommend the fish tacos. I suggest you follow them on Instagram because they are constantly posting specials and deals of the day. Jay was our server he was on it! The girls enjoyed their hand crafted drinks as well. We will definitely be back! Thank you guys for the amazing service! :) read more

Absolutely not, I do not recommend. If you have any kind of problem with the food the bartender, Jaxx, WILL call the police on your party. They served my friend SPOILED food and then they were upset because we were upset. Ridiculous. If possible I would give zero stars. Do not go there. read more

It's a great spot to grab drinks and food with friends or family. It's a great atmosphere. Highly recommend.

We had been here one other time around 4 pm and had great service. This past Saturday we came in around 7:30. It was busy but there were 3 open chairs at the bar. 4 of us stood at the bar for almost 10 minutes. Not one employee acknowledged us. Two bar tenders at the the bar never looked at us and the one waitress that walked by us looked at the floor as she went by. I don't care how busy you are but a simple nod and "I will be with you soon" goes a long way. read more

5/5! Service, ambience, drinks, food, AND drinks were amazing. - wagyu ribeye was perfect with the veggies, mashed potatoes, sauce, and freshest tortillas. (BETTER THAN RED O's TOMAHAWK SURF & TURF THATS FOR SURE) - CANCUNS WATER- I don't even care for alcoholic mixed drinks but this drink was a game changer. Giving Baja blast vibes my guy - o fuck I almost forgot. THE OREO CHEESECAKE. Dankkkkk U trippin it u don't come here read more

Had a birthday brunch for a friend here. Besides the terrible service throughout our stay, our server "RiRi A" surprised us by bringing us our bill (without the tip, we planned on tipping based off the service provided) then took our card & charged me for a 20% tip ($135 tip, if the service was up to par I'd have no problem paying more) but gave us one bill & came back with a much higher different bill already charged with the 20% tip. Typical bait & switch situation. I'm never about the money, always about the experience. Food was decent, service was terrible. Would not recommend. read more
