We came here during happy hour on Taco Tuesday and wowwww loved the ambiance, service, and drinks! The nachos and lemon pepper chicken we got too were great. One thing is that the chicken was slightly too salty and the nacho to carne ratio was kinda off--too much tortilla not enough meat. It made me portion the nachos strategically rather than enjoying it as a whole. Overall a great place to vibe, watch the game, and grab half off margaritas during happy hour taco Tuesday! read more

We were headed somewhere else but found that place didn't open until 4pm. So what did we do? Get on Yelp to find another restaurant close by and that's how we found ZAMA Lounge. Even better, we made it there in time for Happy Hour! We were able to try a little bit of everything tapas-style... started off with chips and salsa, added guacamole, then had wings. My brother-in-law got the honey chili lime wings and said they were nice and spicy. I can't do spicy, the lemon pepper wings were perfectly seasoned and just the right flavor for me. We also tried their birria tacos, best I've ever had! Our server Sierra was super friendly and attentive. Great place to relax and unwind. read more

Tried this tapas for the first time. It is located by DTF, public parking at the back. Place is clean with lots of TVs for sports fans. Food is amazing and serving size is big! Price is reasonable. Servers are all nice and attentive. Definitely worth the try when you are in the Fullerton area! read more

Sigh, where do I start? Got here yesterday on Sunday at 11:30. I should have perused their Brunch menu prior, because their happy hour menu is far more appealing, and I'm sure more flavorful. They did have one large party of at least 10 people and then another party of 6. And it was just party of two for me and my girlfriend. Had no trouble finding a seat, but was sitting in front of where they pick up the food from the kitchen, which isn't ideal. Sat down was served a small glass of water immediately. Ordered a Paloma and a breakfast shot, it took 45 minutes to get those drinks. In fact, my friend got her a plate of food before those drinks came out. Before we ever got more water to drink. Fast-forward about 15 to 20 more minutes, finally get my plate of food. The muffin for the eggs Benedict was so hard that I could not cut it with a knife. I asked for a steak knife, and was told they have none. Our server didn't seem all that concerned with us, still waiting on water at times when I can see her refilling other guests champagne glasses, and yet we still hadn't had our cocktails or a refill of water. If the food was amazing, I would probably go back. But the food was bland/cold and had sat, the service, and frankly the lack of wanting to take care of us, is undesirable. I will say, and the reason I'm giving two stars, we were offered a shot of tequila for the long wait. All in all we had water one drink each and one plate of food and were there for over two hours. And the way the Paloma was served, is also unappealing. I couldn't even put my hand around the glass without getting salt and tajin all over my hand. Unpleasant read more

This place has such a fun and welcoming vibe! My boyfriend and I love coming here on weekends for happy hour. We usually grab a couple of large beers and share an appetizer or two--all for under $40 each time. The ambiance is effortlessly chic, and the bartenders are always friendly and attentive. If you visit, don't miss the taquitos and the lemon pepper fries--you will NOT be disappointed! read more

The food here is always delicious! 4.5/5 You can't go wrong with the asada nachos, they are pretty generous in size. Aguachiles are raw and cooked in the lime, they are very delicious! But if you like your shrimps pink then maybe this is not for you. The green enchiladas are generously drenched in sauce and they are rich in flavor with the tinga chicken inside. Truffle fries with Zama Burger are sooo good! The fries have chile flacked and grated cheese in them too which all work out so well. The tacos this time around were smaller than we expected, but are really good in flavor the shrimp and asada are my favorite. Sorry I don't have pictures of the food Drinks 5/5, they are delicious! JACKIE is my go to bartender, she's attentive and does a great job! The inside is a vibe. They even have a Zama vibe neon sign on a grad wall which I love. The restrooms are cute too! My only complaint is to get higher chairs for the middle seating. Otherwise all good! read more

First time checking this place out. Went only for a drink and small bites. It was empty with lots of staff at that hour. Everyone was pretty friendly. I ordered a "flamingo"and though it was pricey $18 (specialty drink) I definitely enjoyed it .the taste was unique and the quality better than I expected. We got guac n chips and lemon pepper fries-something you can't really mess up. I would definitely stop by again for an occasional drink. 2 small appetizers and 2 drinks came out to aprox $45 plus tip so not too bad. Small detail though-we didn't have napkins nor were we asked if we needed any even though we were really only people there. Maybe they didn't want to bother us ? Idk but overall a decent experience. read more

Zama pleasantly surprised me! Located in the heart of DTF by Ziings. Reservations can be made on open table but this place is still fairly new so it seems to be all walk ins as the word hasn't gotten out yet, but this place is truly a gem. Truly loved the aesthetics of the place-- doesn't look like much from the outside but once you walk in it gives off a cancun/ mexico vibe with a rainforest feel. What really stole my heart about this place was the service. The staff was really genuine and attentive. Shout out to Anthony for really providing great recommendations and making sure we had a wonderful night. Along with great service were the show stopping drinks and the authentic food. All the drinks were truly BEAUTIFUL and so good. I ordered the new fashion for $20 and it was a presentation with the smoke. We also loved cancun waters, el jardin, paloma and rumble in the jungle. A majority of the cocktails range from $15-20. The food is latin inspired and really authentic. I can't rave enough about the birria empanadas! The chicken taquitos and nachos were also large plates and really filling. Overall, this place is a nice addition to DTF and will def be a repeat customer. Cant wait to try brunch! read more

This is not only a review but more so an appreciation post for Zama Lounge & the awesome people who work there. We really enjoyed everything about this place. It's nice when the bartender, servers, chef all really care & put in the work, it shows. Jay & Jr are great, helped us decide from their great looking menu, super friendly & attentive, multitasking, just a great vibe. The food was amazing!! Booy was I impressed! Carne asada tacos with home made tortillas, something about the way the meat was cooked, beautiful presentation, Shrimp ceviche, and chicken taquitos, chefs kiss! Will definitely be stopping by again. As many times as we've walked around DTF, nev read more

This place is a cute spot in downtown Fullerton! Loved the decor, music and food was delicious! If you are going with multiple people, i recommend starting off with the jungle fries because those were fire and super large. It had everything you need to make these fries loaded with flavor. I also loved how the fries were fresh and crispy. I loved the cauliflower tacos. They were so flavorful and would recommend adding aside of chipotle aioli to bring it home! Definitely check out this place because it's an overall fun and cool experience. read more

This place is so good I had to do another review. I took my boys out for their lunch, and love going here because it's my neighborhood go-to. I had the chilaquiles for a late breakfast, which were delicious. My kids are super picky but love the fries there, and although they always fight me on rice, they surprisingly ate it and said it was good with a thumbs up! The staff was accommodating, as usual, and continually checked in on us. They even went out of their way to interact with my toddlers and give them special attention. Thank you to Emilia and Priscilla, as well as another I didn't get a name for, but likely was one of the managers, given the dynamic. It was a comfortable experience, like it always is, and did not disappoint! read more

I don't really recommend the food or service, seemed promising but mainly service was just not it

The food here was amazing. The birria tacos and gobernardor shrimp tacos were the best thing on our table. The serving size of the guac was surprising. We expected a tiny dollop on top of some chips, but it was an entire bowl filled with guacamole and a side plate of chips. However, the drinks were good but were practically empty. The cup was filled with ice and topped with fancy decor but there was hardly anything inside to drink. Service was the worst I've had in quit a while. They were incredibly slow at taking our orders or coming around for refills. We had 3 different people come to our table and ask if we had been helped and still waited a while for our drinks when we'd ask for updates. One friend asked for a drink at the bar when we arrived prior to seating and she never received it, luckily it was not on our bill at the end of the night. The restaurant itself has a very fun Tulum themed aesthetic that's mostly present at the entrance. The further back you're seated though, the closer you are to the bathrooms in kind of a narrow hallway right next to the kitchen. It was fun to experience the venue once, but I would not come back for dine in again. I'd consider take out if available since the food was great! read more

At 11pm on a Saturday Night We thought this place had a lot of potential, we were VERY wrong. As we approached the walkway entrance the bouncer kept telling us come on in there's no cover charge..he said the place is empty so you'll be able to get your drinks quick. We figured okay why not give it a shot. Upon entering he was right the place was VERY empty quite a contrast to the Irish Pub that used to be there that was always packed. We entered and ordered a round of 6 Coors Light Pints (Small Size Beers). I'm sure you can imagine our disbelief when we received our beers in smaller plastic cups and a bill for almost 90 dollars?!? I went up to the bartender and I said I think we may have been overcharged we just ordered 6 Small Coors Light Drafts. He said yeah man that's the correct price the owners said if we don't have a cover charge we have to make up for it on jacking up the prices on drinks. I told him it's Coors Light Drafts not even a fancy stout? He said yup! That's why you see it so empty in here our drink prices are rough. Needless to say we left right after. Don't waste your time or your money. Go down the street for better prices, drinks, and overall ambience. read more

Ambience 4/5 Service 3.5/5 Food 4/5 Stopped by for happy hour for taco Tuesday and we were easily seated. All the servers were very kind and attentive. However, I'm not sure if they communicate about which table they're helping out. I felt like a different server checked in on us every 5 minutes, which was kind but also interrupted our conversations a bit. The tacos and asada nachos were good! My favorite part was their tortillas and asada meat. Definitely a cool spot at DTF read more

Great overall experience! We made a reservation for 6:30, but there still seemed to be plenty of seating when we arrived. Atmosphere was great...fun lighting, unique decor, interesting music. My only complaint was the high top table chairs. They are way too small/uncomfortable, and we heard several other parties complaining as well. Regardless, it didn't ruin the experience. We ordered sever as l small plates/tapas: the birria empanadas were bigger than I expected, but lacked an explosion of flavor that I was expecting. Temperature was great, texture was amazing, it just missed a little POP of flavor. Same for the taquitos...everything about them was spot-on, but flavor just wasn't exciting. The esquites (think: elote corn but off-the-cob) was exceptionally flavorful, thanks to the tajin and lime mayo. The best, by far, was the HEAPING serving of guacamole. Definitely the best I've had in awhile. Service was friendly and inviting, and I highly recommend ZAMA for a delicious and trendy bite/drink. read more

I'll keep this review short since my visit here was short too. We came for drinks and food. I cannot remember what I had for food since this was about 4 months ago but I do know that I had to get my drink modified because as I expected with pre batched drinks, they were too sweet. POV you can't be charging 17$+ a drink for something that is always mixed and you're just going to pour out of a pitcher. Nothing about this lace was exceptional. Our waitress was nice but unfortunately that isn't the only thing I'd come here for. Ambiance is like all the new places popping out of the wood works. Club vibes without the lounge feel just doesn't make sense to me. read more

We came during Happy Hour (Tuesday-Friday 2-6pm). We got $8 margaritas. We ordered the Classic , Pineapple and Jamaica Margaritas. They are all delicious, very flavorful and great to sip on. For food we ordered the Zama Burger and the Asada Nachos: some of the best we have ever tried. We also loved the Zama wings. We highly recommend this location. The service was excellent, we were greeted with a friendly/welcoming smile. The ambiance we good, we came around 5ish, after 6:30 pm it started getting busy. They have screens all over to watch sports game. Zaria did an amazing job, she did our drinks along with Dulce. We are definitely coming back. read more

The food and drinks were great, but the service was HORRIBLE! The following numbers are not exaggerated at all. We waited for over 20 minutes to be able to order our food and it took over 30 minutes for the food to arrive at our table. We were a table for 2. My wife ordered salmon and I ordered a burrito - simple stuff. The place was not packed. There were plenty of tables still available. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this place to anyone because there are too many wonderful options in downtown Fullerton that are much much better. read more

We really wanted to see what this place was about as it looked very interesting. Decor is kind of upscale and nicely done. The food didn't sit well with my wife and I, we ordered tacos, street dog and small drinks etc My wife really didn't feel well after and neither did I. I don't know what it was but it didn't sit well. Anyhow generally the food wasn't too bad but again with the way it made us feel it doesn't inspire us to return. read more

came here for sunday brunch! plenty of parking at the lot behind the building. the food was good and it was clean and decorated inside. perfect for a group to have some drinks and talk over yummy food. the service was very attentive and kind. it did take awhile for the food and drinks to come out, but we didn't mind! the food was good, but nothing notable. the horchata pancakes just tasted like regular pancakes with chocolate sauce on them. overall, the food was just ok at brunch so i wouldn't come again for brunch. maybe for lunch/dinner! read more

Clean, bartenders are attentive and food was great. Hands down the best carne asada tacos in town.

I can only leave a negative review on their service, since I waited over 30 min and no one came to take our drink orders, let alone food. This was terrible, especially when I had a reservation. They had no remorse that we were waiting. One server knew we were waiting, and just said " someone will take your order". Like why don't you at least get our drink order!!!! Pathetic. Thanks for ruining our dinner plans! We walked out 40 min in, thirsty and hungry! read more

We went in for brunch on 10/11/25, our visit started off with a small misunderstanding, but the owner personally reached out and went above and beyond to make things right. He was incredibly accommodating and made sure my group was taken care of. From there, everything was excellent! The food was fantastic, the drinks were great, and our waitress was so welcoming and attentive. What began as a rocky start turned into a wonderful dining experience. I'd absolutely come back and highly recommend this place! read more

We've been here a couple of times since they opened, and what's impressive is they seem to be getting better and better. A lot of places open and are great at first, and go down hill in quantity, quality, and pricing. They seemed to tweak any qualms we had, and now all of the above is phenomenal, not to mention a great staff and great ambiance! We keep bringing different friends to try it, and they always love it. I also like that it's unique to downtown Fullerton. read more
