Zamorana - THE BEST Fish Tacos!!! - Mexican Near Me - Vashon, Washington

Pretty good portions here. Got the tacos with guacamole, all different meats and the Mulitas. I have to say that the Mulitas were so good. I've never had it before and it blew my tacos out of the park. I think it was the crispy shell with the cheese. Tacos were pretty good too and very filling. Great neighborhood spot. Service was efficient and friendly. read more

We stopped by this restaurant while exploring Vashon. It was WONDERFUL! You order at the front/pay initially and sit down on your own. They have water, utensils, napkins already on the tables. The food was fresh, delicious, and filling. I ordered vegetarian tacos with guacamole. My parents ordered the fajita plates with chicken which they loved. 10/10 recommend. read more

The lengua tacos with guacamole are one of my favorite foods. The atmosphere is warm and comfortable. The food is consistently good.

Solid food, fairly priced super kind employees. We had kids and adults, and we all left full and happy. Food was tasty the only downside being the lack of complimentary chips and salsa, and a somewhat limited menu. We had fajitas, tacos, a burrito and quesadillas - all with smiles. Really great, communal vibe, restaurant was clean and relaxed. Would absolutely eat here again. read more

Not much places to eat here in vashon island. This was open and it looked good. I ordered steak burrito and it was good, but barely any sour cream. It was greasy so it felt like I was eating Philly cheesesteak. But nice workers and cool environment! I like the colorful paint read more

In my opinion ithe best taqueria-style Mexican food in the Seattle area. Fresh, generous and flavorful along with good people making the food. When it came to Vashon a decade ago it was the first genuinely good food on the island and spearheaded a welcome influx of high quality restaurants. Expensive for taqueria food but is worth every penny. Haven't found better anywhere in the area read more

What an amazing find on Vashon Island! It felt authentic walking in and they did not disappoint. Order at the counter and sit in what basically looks like a home with great decor. My carne asada tacos took a while to make, which I appreciate as I saw everything being made fresh. The meat was juicy and crispy in all the right places. I look forward to my next visit. read more

I've been here two times, had dishes based on two positive reviews and things I love: fajitas, and tacos. Last time I had the fajitas and not only was I completely unimpressed with the flavor, it took 30-40 minutes to get my food. It was a little busy but still, this is a small place. I was apologized to, to be fair. Tonight I got the shrimp tacos and MAN were they amazing. Came a little early in case there was a wait, got my food in 15 minutes and yes it was less busy, too. But damn. Some of the best, most savory and juicy tacos I've ever had. read more

This Mexican food is the real deal. Exceptional carne asada, skirt steak that was pounded to perfection, still juicy, and so flavorful. And look at this photo of their shrimp tacos! We lived in Texas for decades and had some great Mexican food. This gem of a restaurant on Vashon Island should not be missed. read more

Amazing food. Very authentic. Homemade hot sauces were excellent. Honestly, the best Mexican meal we've ever had. If you're on Vashon Island, you should definitely try this place read more

Zamorana - Fajita plate And carne ranchera - Mexican Near Me - Vashon, Washington

Zamorana is a casual, authentic Mexican restaurant where you can expect real Mexican food and not Tex-Mex or some version of Americanized Mexican. On the day we ate lunch there, the chef was cooking carnitas in a huge pot, manning the griddle as well as running the place taking orders and being a very friendly individual. He happily greeted me, in Spanish, and told me all about the food. The four tacos come in small, street-taco sized tortillas--two per taco-- and heaped with chicken, onions, cilantro, and guacamole. The salsa that came with the totopos (chips) seemed home-made and had just enough spice to make it lively but not overwhelming. This is a great spot for an inexpensive meal. Highly recommend a visit. read more

Cute place, nice employees, quick service, acceptable prices. So why only 3 stars? Because the food (steak wet burrito and carnitas plate) was completely bland. The textures were right and I could taste some char on the meat just no seasonings at all. It almost seemed like a step was completely skipped, except that isn't how cooking works! I'm stumped. The other reviews are positive, so next time I'm on-island, maybe I'll try it again. read more

This very well might be my new favorite Mexican place. We both got the vegetarian borito and it was amazing: vegetables grilled perfectly, a nice helping of good guacamole, the crust browned to a crisp, and the sauces that worked perfectly together. It is messy but in the best way. We also got some chips and salsa which were super well done as well. The salsa felt fresh with just the right amount of kick and they even gave me an extra when we ran out. Hot sauces of all different kinds (including chalula) are all around so you can really get a good sampling of what you want. Also the prices were good. The vegetarian Borito was around $13. The service was super friendly as well and the food was pretty fast for what you get. While the ambiance wasn't anything special, I don't think it needs to be and with the meal as good as it was, I would have eaten it out in the cold if it came to it. Great place that you need to check out while your in vashion. read more

Zamorana - a hand holding a piece of bread - Mexican Near Me - Vashon, Washington

***Disclaimer, or Warning, or whatever you want to call it I'm from Tucson. You know...the first North American city to be named a UNESCO City of Gastronomy. Regardless of that esteemed designation, Tucson has some of the best Mexican food (from a variety of styles from different provinces) in the country. So that's what I'll be comparing this to. This is also the first Mexican restaurant I have tried in Seattle. So there you go. All my disclaimers. Hopefully, it will help you to know where I'm coming from in this review and assist you in how much of a grain of salt you should take my opinion. It was OK. Not mind blowing. Kind of tasteless to me, but OK. 3.5 stars. Family took us here for lunch while on Vashon Island. Overall, I think it was a good choice. I had the smothered burrito with steak. The Mrs. had the fish tacos. First thing I noticed was that prices here are waaaay more expensive. A Tucson thing? A Seattle thing? There were three fish tacos for $13. In Tucson, I can get the best fish taco for $3.50, and they give enough fish and two tortillas to make two tacos. My smothered burrito was $18. These prices are even more expensive than some of the food trucks in Tucson. The smothered was OK. I could possibly order it again. The refried beans were very good. The tortilla was fresh. The steak is grilled. The red sauce is mild. Great presentation. But it was lacking in flavor for me. I added my wife's pico de gallo (which she didn't use because it was heavily onion-oriented and had few tomatoes), their salsa (which is puréed roasted jalapeño, pretty good), Cholula, and salt. I had a bite of my wife's fish taco. Pretty good. The fish is red snapper. Tortilla tasted fresh. Not bad. Well, there you go. My review from someone spoiled by great Mexican cuisine in Tucson. 5* = A top favorite. Mind-blowing good. I will definitely return and I will go out of my way to go here. Worth every dime of my money. 4* = Outstanding. Tucson-top-tier. Some elements not quite as good as it gets, but it still is worthy of my regular business. 3* = Good experience. I might do repeat business if it is convenient, the only option, the only one in its category, or on a whim, but would not be among the first thing to come to mind. Would definitely recommend you trying it to get your own take on it. 2* = Not so good. Would not recommend at all. Waste of money. 1* = How are they still in business? Stay away at all costs! read more

My friend and I stopped here to eat on our way back from seeing the troll. The food was amazing and authentic. Service was wonderful and the price was right. Both of us left with left-overs to take home. If you find yourself on Vashon I highly recommend eating at Zamorana. read more

This was simply amazing! We were headed back to Seattle and grabbed a to-go order to wait for the ferry. Corn (soft) chicken tacos with guacamole ! Yummm!! Beef burrito, double yumm per hubby. Pic was the first time I paused!! read more

Zamorana - Lonely chicken taco! - Mexican Near Me - Vashon, Washington

Okay, I had my meal as leftovers and it was even better...because I had some salsa at home... I had given two stars before for various reasons described, but if a taco is delicious cold, right out he fridge, the flavor has got to be fire. And it was... So nice job, Zamoranas. Just please serve salsa with your food. read more

I got a wet burrito here and it weighed probably 4 pounds and was loaded with meat. Everything is more expensive on the island but at least here you get your money's worth. The flavor is competitive with decent places back in California: it's not the best, most authentic Mexican food I've ever had but it's very satisfying and comes in generous portions. read more

Looks like a sit down, but promptly greeted from the kitchen with a smile. While deciding from the menu the cook said they have a daily special that sells out quickly so my decision was made. Delish! Grilled meat, griddled enchiladas. Great sauce! Good decor. Taqueria style. Must try on the island! read more

Zamorana - Carne Asada with enchiladas! - Mexican Near Me - Vashon, Washington

Great for Mexican food on Vashon. Their tortillas are made fresh and it shows in the texture. I got the taco combo for $9 which came with four tacos. I got two carne asada and 2 pork carnitas. They were great especially with the creamy Green sauce on the self serve sauce counter. My friend got the wet burrito with the carne asada which was more than mine but was more filling. There was probably more carne asada in her burrito than my tacos. My only complaint was that the carne asada was borderline dry but was still good nonetheless. Flan was thick and lemony. read more

As islanders this is one of our go-to restaurants for delicious and authentic Mexican food. The staff is always bright and friendly, service is always quick and considerate. We take out more than we eat in, but when we eat in it is great casual dining. We will always recommend Zamorana to anyone coming on island! read more

Try the fish tacos. Best in the West! And great service and ambiance. Right in Vashon proper.

Food was excellent and the service was great. We let them know that we were headed to the ferry and they got us in and out quickly. Loved the island, and will hopefully find my way back to Zamorana for a bite. Mahalo from Hawai'i read more

I'm still not sure how I feel about the fact that Zamorana has the best tacos I've had in the Pacific Northwest so far, especially on Vashon Island, but I digress. BOMB. AMAZING. AUTHENTIC TACOS!!! I moved to Seattle last year and have never expected to run into authentic tacos like the ones I've had back in San Diego, but oh man. A trip to Vashon is worth it SOLELY for these tacos (I know, I know, there's more to see, but I was shook by this place!) I've had "al pastor" tacos before in the Seattle area with no flavor, no spice, and, sadly, too much pineapple. Zamorana, however, knows the secret is spicy, flavorful meat without too many toppings and a perfectly seasoned guacamole. Needless to say, I was thoroughly pleasantly surprised. Zamorana is a cute little restaurant with really friendly employees, genuine Mexican food, and BOMB tacos. I'm going to have to come back soon! read more

The food was freshly made and delicious. Three of us got different dishes and they didn't disappoint - tacos, burrito, and wet burrito. If you like Guac, pay extra to get a side. You won't regret it! read more

Horrible food and expensive. I don't know how one can ruin Mexican food but this place did. No flavor what so ever. My husband ordered the Steak Ranchero & I ordered the Mulita. The menu said the Mulita comes with Guacamole (we got take out) when my husband got home with the food there was no guacamole. Both items had so much salt it was all you could taste. No Mexican food flavors. The chicken in mine was cut into pebble sized pieces. I ate about 4 bites and threw it in the trash it was that bad. I would not recommend this restaurant. read more

The steak burrito was excellent with the house salsa! Have to come back next time. It was awesome!

Great food and friendly people! Best shrimp burrito I've had. So glad we stopped there.
