    Isabel and Kathrin.

    We miss Zamora's and our favorite server Isabel! For over 10 years they provided our Tex-Mex comfort food and drink.

    Botana platter
    Rubén L.

    Had my annual pilgrimage to the RGV and I couldn't resist the famous Botana platter. A heaping of beef fajitas on top of fresh made corn tortilla chips smothered with refried beans and gooey cheese, a side of guacamole and two corn quesadillas. Dayum! It hit the spot, but what made it special was the Valley's concoction of sweet tea, which I am still trying to figure out how it is made - very unique taste. Service was quick and friendly. I'd go back for second helpings. Buen provecho!

    Dry and hard pieces of chicken and beef fajitas with cold and hard cheese
    Melissa G.

    I ordered a botana for 2 along with other items and paid a total of $78 and change. The botana came with dry and hard pieces of chicken and beef fajitas. There was barely enough beans and cheese on the tortilla chips. It was cold. I was so disappointed because it looked like someone ordered it a day before but didn't pick it up so that's what they gave me. It's like the price increased but the quality of the food decreased. :(

    Had been here for breakfast never for lunch. Felt like having a home made caldo and to be honest made the right choice. The restaurant it self was very clean the staff very nice. When asked about suggestions the waiters was nice enough to recommend a lunch plate. I noticed that they have Saturday lunch specials which is rare to see at restaurants since specials are usually Monday- Friday. That was a plus!! So when you think about it Zamora's has special mon- sat. My husband had the fajita plates. As per my Husband good flavor, good quantity but would have liked less bell peppers and onions. I had the caldo de res, good portion very good flavor if you are looking to eat something that your mom would make this is it. The only thing I would change a bit was leave the meat a little bit longer cooking to be a bit soft, but that's just me. Price : very reasonable, our tab was about $21 which is not bad for the lunch we had. We are definitely going back and trying more of their food items

    Disappointing botana
    Brandon E.

    Disappointing botana to say the least, got home it was already cold (5 min drive). Fajitas were cold and tough, tortillas cold too, AND barely any cheese on the very STALE corn chips. Over 40$ and this was the result, called management for ANY remedy and was told there was none. Turned off from this place and lost our business for good.

    Simple, no-frills Tex Mex food. This is the place to be for breakfast. It can get quite busy on the weekends, so be prepared to wait. I typically order chilaquiles with chicken and eggs and a coffee. The dish is large and comes with beans and potatoes. Coffee is unlimited.

    Botana for 3 .
    Anabel C.

    Curb side delivery! Ordered the botana for 3 and it was a lot. Flour tortillas were delicious. Everything was very well made and delicious. My parents enjoyed the shrimp cocktail. We had leftovers for the next day but the fajitas tasted weird. Overall I will order again from here.

    The beef quesadillas,one of my favorite dishes

If you're not looking for this place or haven't been here, you may not find it because it is somewhat hidden from the road. Outside you wonder if it's a restaurant. Inside - different story. It's a bit small but very comfortable both in size and atmosphere. We tried their breakfast taco plate which actually has 3 tacos and beans or potatoes. The tortillas are phenomenal - some of the best we've ever eaten! The tacos are much larger than most breakfast tacos and they come like a taco - not the traditional south Texas breakfast taco that others think is a burrito. We tried potato egg and cheese, bacon egg and cheese and sausage egg and cheese. All of them were very good and you can tell everything is made fresh. The refried beans were good - some decent flavor - not the best I've had, but way better than a lot that I've had. The salsa was good - not very 'spicy' but not bad either. Both the quality and the freshness - and definitely the tortillas - will have U.S. coming back again!

We finally ordered--only to receive chicken fajitas instead of beef. Sent them back, waited again. Strike two. When the corrected order arrived? The fajitas were completely bland. No seasoning. The sweetbread--crispy on the outside, yes--but equally flavorless. And then we realized they'd forgotten the beans entirely. Those charro beans? The most tasteless I've ever had in my life. Strike three. The ambiance was nice (though overpriced for a mall spot), but the food was a shadow of what I experienced here a year ago. Such a shame--Mexican cuisine should sing with spice and care. This was a silent, disappointing echo.

This place is on the mid range prices for food, but the staffing and environment makes up for it. Truly enjoyed our appetizers, chorizoqueso, where the waitress mixed it up for us and served each one of us at the table on our choosing of flour or corn tortillas. Personally enjoy the corn but they're both great As the entree, went with Tacos Matamoros and they did not disappoint. On portions and taste it was great.

    So was in town and haven't had a botana in over a year since I live in Dallas. Yelped "Good Botanas…read morenear me" and Zamoras popped up looked it up and the food looks good so decide why not. Ordered ahead and went and paid mind you for a botana for 2 it was 40ish dollars. Kinda pricey but everything has gone up and once a year for a good botana ill do it. When the employee brought my food I was damn thats a lot of food got took it home. Well let me tell you it looked better than it was. Ill start off with tortillas were on point really good, beans for good also. But thats where it ends opened up box with the botana and meat looked good but as soon as I tried to chew it it was dry AF! Ordered a mixed botana with beef and chicken and I had to drink water just to swallow very disappointing. But on principle cause I paid 40buks I continue to eat it cause what was I gonna do throw away 40 buks. I noticed that it seemed like the Styrofoam carton was raised under the food didn't pay any mind to it until I got to the bottom and noticed that they laid the food on bare Styrofoam mind you HOT food. What in the absolute fuk for a restaurant to be in business for this long and do some dumb shit like that is mind boggling. Anyway I noticed I was scraping Styrofoam with cheese and looked under the box and saw that the cheese and beans had melted the box underneath! You have got to be kidding me what moron decided it would be a good idea to put Hot food on bare Styrofoam at least line it with some foil like every other restaurant does so your customers aren't eating pieces of Styrofoam melted into cheese. DO BETTER....
