Had a horrible experience here a while back and swore they'd never get my business again. I live close so I went in and ordered a burrito and I'm a picky eater so I only wanted meat rice and beans in it . Very simple. When I get my order it had the works sour cream, cheese, guac etc so I brought it back and told the lady cashier I wanted it remade or a refund. She had the audacity to tell me I had to accept the burrito as is. They're not remaking it and I'm not getting a refund. I couldn't believe it, but what could I do? I was fuming but all I can do is vote with my dollar. They will never under any circumstances get my money again. read more

Zazon Del Mar - I love a pastor burrito. But this was nasty - Mexican Near Me - Sacramento, California

Reviews here are heavily dependent on what you order, and I'm happy with what I ordered. I had a chance to try the camarones a la diabla, and while they were solid for me, I don't know I'd give it a 5 stars based on that. What I actually ordered, the Zazon Especial, was good. I enjoyed the entire thing. It came with a salad, frijoles, arroz, y tortillas. I have a guess that the tortillas weren't homemade there, but that's just something to note. The actual proteins were good! A combination of meats and shrimp, it came out sizzling on an individual pan. It sounded, looked, and smelled amazing as it was brought to the table. It was a nice surprise, as I didn't expect it to be served in that fashion. The bites of the proteins were good, and there was some cheese in there too. At the bottom of the pan were a couple of tortillas, and despite being some of the later bites, they were delicious. They had absorbed the flavors of everything on top, and I enjoyed it. I'd definitely come back. But I'll be sure what to order next time, if not the Especial. During the weekends they have live music. At the time we came, it was norteño. It was $20 a song for them to perform your request. read more

I wanted to like this place but my first time there wasnt too spectacular for my dish. I love camarones a la diabla, it's my go to order but the camarones were too overcooked that it took over the flavor of the sauce. Unfortunately the arroz seemed to be undercooked, which also was a downer. I tried the zazon especial and that was good, and full of flavor. It had chicken, beef, and camarones mixed in with cheese. They also do have live music on the weekends. On Sunday they had a grupo norteño that went around asking if people had requests. It was $20 per song, just to keep that in mind if you want a song. read more

They had live music which made the environment fun but the food was okay at best. The enchiladas needed much more sauce. They came out fairly dry and I prefer my enchiladas saucy. It's once if my favorite foods so I was not too satisfied with the quality of them. The shrimp cocktail tasted average but the shrimp was not cooked and came out grey. We were concerned that we might have gotten food poisoning from trying this so will not be trying that again here. read more

Place is full of drunk ppl. We walked in know one told use where to sit I had to go look for a waiter. Waiter was able to guide us to a table. Place has live music - first time we visit and that's why we chose this place. They have live mariachi after 9ish . I have to say the Mariachi was BAD A**. We LOVED IT We hated there's only 1 men's bedroom - so dudes make sure your on empty bowels lines get loooooong . Food was actually REALLY GOOD. & Prices were not too bad also . read more

Zazon Del Mar!!!! I drive by this place all the time and I had the audacity to not try it until now. This had one of the best lengua burritos I've ever had. I didn't even take a picture because I was so blown away by how good it was. The lengua was so soft and tender, mmmm I am craving it just thinking about it. The tacos fundido was also a hit, these were probably also some of the best shrimp tacos I've ever had. I loved all the toppings and sauces on the tacos. I need to come back to Zazon to try more things because I am obsessed. I need that lengua burrito in my life again. Thank you Zazon for blessing me with some of the best Mexican food I've ever had. read more

I got the Al Pastor Tacos Fundido and Al Pastor Burrito. I even ordered a Horchata to drink with my meal. The service was quick and the waitress was friendly. The tacos were very delicious. I loved the melted cheese and sour cream as toppings for my tacos. The Burrito was large and very filling. I had to bring half of it home as leftovers because I couldn't finish it. There is a lot of space for a larger parties. On some days, they even have live music. read more

Zazon Del Mar - Tacos Fundido - Al Pastor - Mexican Near Me - Sacramento, California

I've been here twice now and I love it! The restaurant has plenty of seating, easy parking, and fast & friendly service. They also have live music (when I came on a Saturday evening)! The first time it was introduced to me by a friend. We got the some tacos fundidos and they're so yummy! My favorite were the shrimp. I also really appreciate the free chips & salsa bar they have :) The second time I came with a party of 15 and they were extremely accommodating. I didn't make a reservation and there was plenty of seating available. It was a lot of people but they helped serve us well! Everyone was very happy with their food. One of my friends got a lengua burrito which I really enjoyed. It had such good flavor, and was a very yummy bite to have. Everything I've tried here so far has been very good. I'm looking forward to having more! read more

The food was fantastic. Took our family of 8 there and we were not disappointed. Everyone enjoyed the time and whole experience.

I went today and ordered two barbacoa tacos and a tostadas mixta, and although the food there is really tasty , they have jacked up the prices, it's insane!!!! My meal cost was almost $30.00 fucking tostada mixta went form $12.00, which is already pricey to almost $17.00???? WTF!!!! I DON'T THINK I'LL BE GOING BACK THERE EVER AGAIN!! pay attention people, these bastards are gauging the prices big time, do not get fooled. read more

We really like this place, especially because it is close to our house. We live in South Sac and not much to choose from so we either cook at home or go into town for good food but when we want Mexican, Zazons is where it is at! The shrimp tacos are just amazing! Everything is. Service is friendly, even to gringos :) they have lunch specials, to go and huge dine in area. So reasonable too! We can both eat a full dinner for 25 with tax and tip! 3.73- 4.25 a taco and they are big, fried and filling!!!! read more

It shocks me that this place has so many good reviews. I WANT to like it since I live two blocks away, but both times I've ordered here have been absolute fails. The first time I ordered a carne asada super buritto. The steak was tough and dry, like it had been made the day before, and the burrito was 75% rice and beans. Zero flavor. I ate it because I was starving. Tonight I went back and called my order in: regular chicken burrito, cheese and pico de gallo only. I got home, added some sour cream, and my first bite had a giant piece of pure gristle. It was also full to the brim with rice and beans and had no cheese. I took four more bites and two more pieces of gristle were spit out. I walked back over to the restaurant with the remaining burrito and told them it was inedible. Walked out with a refund. SMH. How hard is it to grill fresh steak and chicken to order? So disappointing. read more

Today was my 4th time here and I'm convinced they shouldn't be a seafood spot. The aguachiles where a joke. Si necesitan a alguien para que se los aga como deben hacer me dicen less enseño de agritis. The shrimp where thrown on the plate raw then drenched in the juice onions and cucumbers. The shrimp was raw which isn't to abnormal but the fact the shrimp was warmer than the lime juice means they where just laying out in room temp which besides dangerous to your clients it's gross and they get a different flavor. They don't clean the veins out right in there shrimp which is where they process their food which means where eating their feces. Yeah I clean all mine up. Aguachiles is a delequise and should be treated as such especially at 22 for the amount they give .The best part of the aguachiles was the onion and cucumber unfortunately. I've tried their fish and shrimp tacos before they're also mid. Tacos and burritos are ok here and would probably be the only thing I'll get again. If I do come back it'd be for the beer and live music more than anything else read more

Very chill Mexican restaurant. You can hear the mariachi music blasting. Great entertainment while you enjoy some food or drinks. The menu has a wide variety of items like tacos, burritos, quesadillas, tortas and combo plates. There's a nice salsa bar and free chips with dip with a minimum $5 purchase. I tried their botana de cerveza marisquera which is simply beer and seafood. Me and my friend decided to get modelos as our choice of beer. Definitely shareable and meant for two or more people. I've tried this before at a different restaurant and enjoyed it so I knew I would like it here too. Comes with crackers as well to scoop up the seafood. Prices here are a little more on the expensive side but high quality seafood should make up for it. read more

Food is 10/10. On the weekends they have live music. My review must be at least 85 char

Due to the COVID-19, I ordered for pick up: al pastor nachos and 2 asada tacos. I waited 20 minutes before heading to the restuarant to pick up my food (about 9 minutes from my home). I waited an additional 20 minutes for them to complete my order... Besides that the food was good. Flavor on point good salsa. I will definitely return to order other items on the menu. The wait was just irritating. I'll blame it on 'the rona.' read more

When I come into el Zazon I come for three things. The Agua Chile, Camorones a la kora y tacos Taco de Barbacoa!! From the outside it might not look like it but they could some delicious food at this place. The tacos de barbacoa melt into your mouth with the red sauce they give you. They have the Perfect amount of crunch and not too greasy. Never disappoints! The camarones a la kora have the Perfect lemon sauce you almost want to lick your plate when your done. They aren't too sour or spicy, they taste amazing ! The agua chile is pretty spicy unless you request it is not. Overall this place has great authentic Mexican Taste ! read more

Zazon Del Mar - Camorones a la kora y tacos Taco de Barbacoa!! - Mexican Near Me - Sacramento, California

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zCW-A_BYiGU So basically Zazon can go toe to toe with the best of the dozens of Mexican spots in mile radius. It's pretty damn good. The meats have plenty of flavor, good texture, and are quality rather than fatty grizzle. The couple of seafood items I've tasted seemed fresh and well prepared. Great chips and salsa start things off right. If you get tacos you notice the tortillas hold up and have nice little toast on them. All the meats I've tried have been great. ive barbacoa or lengua a whirl. If you like citrus, shrimp, and serrano heat try the aguachile here. That's pretty much all there is to it. You get a hearty amount of large, fresh tasting shrimp in a lime, cilantro, and serrano puree. Think ceviche's much hotter primo. It's worth noting live (mariachi) band karaoke is on Sunday as astute Yelper Jacqueline W already noted. Maybe without words on a screen it's not technically karaoke, but you can sing with the band backing you. Mexicans just know these songs though, so no teleprompter needed. My grandpa would be right up there singing. You should know about this if you plan on wandering in on a Sunday afternoon. It's LOUD. I mean, there is a guy blowing trumpet indoors. They do a great job. It's very cool, just LOUD. Finally, I've gotten great service here. Sometimes you order at the counter and they take it to you. Other times, curiously, they tell you to have a seat and they promptly wait on you. Either way, it's been great. Usually there are a couple of English speakers working. Zazon is legit. Arriba las Chivas!!! read more

Zazon Del Mar - Aguachile- tons of large shrimp hiding under that murky sauce. - Mexican Near Me - Sacramento, California

Came here for lunch with a coworker and they had music blasting when you walked in. Their menu is huge but we ended up ordering the lunch special which was a 2 taco platter for $7.99. The platter was huge but i wished the carne Asada had more flavor to it. They also have an open chips and salsa bar which was nice. The restaurant has a large sitting area so we were able to find a table near the back where it was quieter. read more

This place is pretty freaking awesome. They have a nice little salsa bar. I love the fire roasted salsa. Delicious! I walked into this place and really wanted the taco salad this woman was eating. It's in a huge taco shell. I liked the al pastor but it was a little on the dry side. The shell wasn't ideal, but it was ok. It wasn't crunchy, but actually crispy and a tad oily, which I didn't really care for. But I still enjoyed it because it was good with everything else. The horchata was actually pretty good, but very different from regular horchata. It was much more spicy then normal horchata in a good way. Not spicy as in burn your booty hot, but spicy as in there are spices in the drink. :) My bf got the nachos with lengua. I don't know why he wanted tongue, but I don't care much for tongue. It wasn't actually too bad though. It was pretty darn tasty for something that was supposedly tongue. This place is pretty darn good. I will be back to try more. The service is pretty good too, considering it's a hole in the wall. read more

Found this hidden gem and so glad I did. This place was an authentic Mexican restaurant. The food was the best I've had in sac and the service was excellent. I ordered the quesabirria taco, loaded shrimp taco and loaded pastor taco (tacos fundido) and they were the best I've had. They were loaded with sour cream, pico and cheese on a crispy taco shell. There was a mariachi band playing when we got there so it only heighten the experience and ambiance. read more

never again, staff was very rude my food came out cold so i asked if i could speak to the manager and they didn't care

Too much spice in the coctel de camaron. Certainly didn't feel fresh and it felt like I was eating some clamato in there. The shrimp had some shells still. What a shame. read more

When I came to this restaurant the service was fast, but expensive. When our food came out, it was VERY burned, and tasted like burnt rubber. I would give this a 1.5 stars. read more

I'm confused about all the 10/10 ratings. I had took my girl and kids here because we looked up close Mexican food. First thing was a dead bug in the chip so we showed the waitress and asked if she could put in a new batch, as we said we didn't want to cause any problems, because a group of people walked in as we told her. She had never changed the chips out. Having 5 kids ordering KIDS meal burgers they brought out 5 ADULT burgers and charged me for their mess up. Then on top of that for dining in she gave herself a tip of $15. Which I don't mind but with that service and not one drink refill I will never recommend the restaurant nor go back. read more

Really wanted to try this place heard good things from friends about their micheladas. However, when we arrived at 8:27pm the cashier in the front on Saturday 6/19 she flipped the Sign right in front of us from open to closed. This place hour say from 10:00am to 9:00pm on their online website. You would think they would like to be open until the time and take customers with the Covid pandemic that has hit all small businesses. Can't say much about their food but they do have some employees that are not so eager to work. read more

Great food. I specifically go for their tacos de barbacoa and shrimp tacos. Sometimes their seafood has a weird aftertaste but it's still good. Their Jamaica and horchata is amazing Again, I usually only order tacos with a michelada or beer. read more

If you like good tacos, you have to come here and try the tacos de Barbacoa, one of the restaurant specialties. These tacos are not your regular tortilla and meat type tacos. The tortillas are seared in oil, giving them a crunchy texture with wonderfully flavored meat and grilled onions. I ordered 3, but 2 would have been suffice as they are large and have plenty of meat. We also tried the ceviche, which was good, but I would have preferred the marinade to be made of pure lime vs tomato based sauce. The horchata was authentic and delicious. Also had one of their special micheladas which was so satisfying. Love this place, if I lived closer, I'd probably be a regular. BTW, they have live mariachi on Sunday evenings. Call ahead and make a reservation! read more
